Politicians in America will no longer serve America until big money is taken out of politics. Congressional pay should be no greater than the Median Household income in the USA which is $84k for a household. Citizens United overturned Significant Campaign Finance reform No single stocks TERM LIMITS for congress. (12 years for house, 12 years for senate) Get the BIG MONEY out of politics. Otherwise, we are the United Corporations of America and no longer a republic.

I make a promise right here & now: If I ever decide to run for higher office, I’m willing to forgo vacations, holidays, & time with family if it means doing right by the American people & passing legislation that I campaigned on. Also, I will wait in line at airports — like everyone else — & not expect special privileges, especially when thousands of TSA agents aren’t being paid. Furthermore, I won’t exempt myself from legislation that the American people must abide by. If you can’t tell, I’m beyond irate.

🚨Do you understand the irony of what just happened.. the FBI spent two years investigating Hillary Clinton for using a personal email for government work.. it dominated every news cycle.. it decided an election.. "lock her up.." the man they put in charge of the FBI.. just got his personal email hacked by Iran.. the DOJ confirmed it.. Iran-linked group "Handala" breached FBI Director Kash Patel's personal email and got his data.. think about the timing.. America has fired 850 Tomahawk missiles at Iran this month.. spent billions.. and Iran didn't fire back with a missile.. they walked through the front door of the FBI.. and here's what nobody wants to say out loud.. the FBI Director was using a personal email in the first place.. the same thing the FBI called a national security threat when Hillary did it.. the agency that decides what's a crime.. doesn't follow its own rules.. The rules only apply until you're the one making them.

Senate Democrats have moved the goalposts out of the stadium on DHS funding.  They’re not interested in a solution, they’re only interested in helping illegal aliens—even if that means punishing hardworking Americans.

🚨 SENATE SELLOUT IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT: While America slept, just 5 Senators showed up at 2AM and rammed through a DHS funding bill by quiet voice vote. NO debate, NO recorded vote. The five who were present: @LeaderJohnThune (R-SD) Eric Schmitt (R-MO) Bernie Moreno (R-OH) Mazie Hirono (D-HI) Andy Kim (D-NJ) They funded TSA to "fix" airport lines but ZERO full funding for ICE and Border Patrol. NO SAVE America Act, no proof of citizenship nor identification to vote. Now they all prepare to jet off for a 2-WEEK RECESS! Is this the "Republican leadership" you voted for in 2024? House SHOULD REJECT this betrayal. Care to explain this GOP Senate Surrender to voters? @SenEricSchmitt @berniemoreno

Hello Senator Thune, At 3 AM on Friday, March 27th, in a near-empty chamber, you passed a bill by voice vote that excludes all funding for ICE and CBP. Let me repeat that: voice vote. No roll call. No record of who was there. No accountability. Just you, Barrasso, and a handful of senators shuffling paper in the dead of night while America slept. You could have demanded a recorded vote. You chose not to. You could have held the line for five more days until the House returned. You chose not to. You could have used the same procedural tools Democrats have used against you for 40 days. You chose not to. Instead, you gave Chuck Schumer exactly what he asked for, DHS funding minus immigration enforcement, and called it a win. Then you walked to the cameras and blamed the Democrats. Let's be precise about what you did: 1. You caved to a demand Democrats made on Day 1 of this shutdown. Forty-one days of supposed hardball negotiation, and you settled for their opening offer. 2. You handed them a template. The next time Democrats want to defund any agency — ICE, CBP, or anything else — they now know: just shut down DHS and wait. John Thune will fold at 3 AM. 3. You punted to reconciliation. "Good possibility," you said. Not "we will." Not "guaranteed." Just maybe. Meanwhile, ICE operates on fumes from last year's bill with no certainty of future funding. The precedent you set: You have argued for months that the filibuster is sacrosanct. That the 60-vote threshold protects minority rights. That we cannot bend Senate rules for policy wins. But at 3 AM on Friday, you bent every norm that actually mattered: • Voice vote to avoid accountability • Empty chamber to avoid debate • Midnight deal to avoid scrutiny • Immediate recess to avoid questions You'll bend the rules to avoid a fight. You just won't bend them to win one. What you've actually accomplished: Democrats demanded ICE restrictions. They got ICE defunded. Not reformed. Not restrained. Defunded. And you're out here tweeting about how Democrats are the "Defund the Police" party while you just voted to defund border enforcement at 3 in the morning. The question you should answer: Why did this deal have to happen at 3 AM? Why couldn't it happen at 3 PM, with cameras rolling and every senator on record? You know why. Because you didn't want your voters to see what surrender looks like. Here's my message: We saw it anyway. Stop hiding behind "Democrat obstruction." You're the Majority Leader. You set the schedule. You control the floor. You chose this outcome. Own it.

Leader John Thune
Leader John Thune@LeaderJohnThune·
Let’s summarize where we are after a 40+ day Democrat shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security. 1) ICE and CBP are funded, thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts and the foresight of President Trump and Republicans in Congress. 2) After holding DHS and the American people hostage for over 40 days, Dems got ZERO restrictions that would prevent ICE and CBP agents from doing their jobs safely. 3) Due to Dem obstruction of the appropriations process, ICE and CBP will get even more funding through budget reconciliation. 4) Dems have once again established themselves as the “Open Borders, Defund the Police” party heading into an election. 5) Dem leadership has proven once again they can’t be trusted to make a deal. Which begs the question if you’re a Dem senator or one of their left-wing supporters: What was this really all about?

President of El Salvador Nayib Bukele releases video showing the transformation of his country. Since Bukele took office: - Homicides plunged from 2,398 in 2019 to just 114 homicides in 2024. - Murder rate is now 1.9 per 100,000 people, a historic low. - In 2022, Bukele declared a state of exception and made over 85,000 arrests. “Everything in life has a cost and the cost of being called authoritarian is too small to bother me much,” he once said.

During the past 41 days, Senate Democrats showed America who they’re fighting for. 480+ TSA agents quit, the U.S. suffered over $2.5 billion in losses, and there were four-hour-long lines at our busiest airports. All to protect criminal illegal aliens from deportation.

@TRHLofficial @WarlordDilley Someone explain to me why Democrats are 100% for Ukraine war/support & 100% against Iran war? Makes it look like the story about Ukraine money laundering back to Democrat politicians is a true story.

Joe Rogan did not say “all MAGA are dorks.” He said, “America IS great. Make America greater? I’m down. But make America Great Again, and it becomes a movement of a bunch of fkn dorks? Because a lot of them are dorks. A lot of them are these really weird, fkn, uninteresting, unintelligent people who have got something they cling to— and there’s a lot of people who are just real genuine patriots, and they’re all lumped into this one group and you gotta accept the dorks too?” MAGA was a movement and there are MAGA Republicans. However, Trump was elected by a coalition, who were largely not MAGA Republicans— they were independents, MAHA, libertarians, disaffected liberals— and a lot of them do not agree with foreign interventionism, according to every single poll. Trump knows this, which is why he would like to end this war, and even tried to declare it over once already, yet outside influences and foreign actors keep interfering and making their own calls to see that does not happen. Joe Rogan speaks for the independent ether. So who are the dorks? If there is nothing this administration does that you won’t seal clap for, then you’re one of the dorks.
