@C_3C_3 This administration is being weak. I suppose the main difference is the synergy between state, local, and federal law enforcement to get J6ers. Right now, you're only getting feds to do anything at all. They could easily be doing much more too.

Question: If the Feds are able to track down and prosecute every MAGA grand mom that walked into the Capitol on January 6th then why isn’t every violent ICE rioter being tracked down and prosecuted? What say you?

@ChristianHeiens That would make perfect sense for people who don't value citizenship.

Democrats only have any sort of sentimental attachment to America when they feel like they have total ideological control over it because they’re Liberals, and Liberals ultimately have no nation of their own. Trump didn’t drain the soul out of anything. Democrats just adopted an ideology that dissolves the nation and leaves its own adherents increasingly atomized and mentally ill.

@Oilfield_Rando @SecMullinDHS Mullin is so obviously in over his head. Every day he is putting those ICE agents in danger. There needs to be a show of force and arrests for anyone who breaks the law. There seem to be very few activists there who aren't breaking the law.

A half hour ago, @SecMullinDHS THANKED the Governor of New Jersey for this.

None of this is satire. → A company spent $500,000,000 on Claude in one month because nobody set usage limits → Uber ran leaderboards ranking engineers by how much AI they used, not what they shipped → Uber burned their entire 2026 budget by April. Their COO said he can’t connect any of it to consumer features → A CTO told Axios employees were using enterprise AI to check the weather → Microsoft canceled most Claude Code licenses because the token bill spiraled → Companies are now laying people off to pay the AI bill. Not because AI replaced the work. Because the bill replaced the headcount.

When we said Talarico was gay it wasn't that he was actually gay, like our badass Treasury Secretary - it was that he was *gay*, like vaping or e-scooters.

@AuronMacintyre These riots in Newark are more violent than January 6th was. You will notice that nobody upset about January 6th is upset about what is going on here.

The Trump administration designated Antifa a foreign terror organization, but they operate without fear on our streets They pay no cost, the people who fund them pay no cost Terrorism is legal in the US and no one can be bothered to stop it

@Oilfield_Rando It sounds like one is much easier to afford than the other. Why wouldn't you choose the one for $13 million vs the option that costs billions of dollars?

We can’t spend $13 million to make our nations capital less shitty! That money is earmarked for reducing HIV stigma among ladyboy hookers in Thailand!

@AndrewCMcCarthy Andy cheered on the persecution and violation of civil rights for the January 6th defendants. He has unlimited sympathy for a foreign gangbanger, though.

The Kilmar Abrego Garcia Case Still Makes No Sense nationalreview.com/2026/05/the-ki…

I have a couple of significant points of disagreement with this piece by Andy. First, Andy claims with regard to removals to a third country, "He has said he is willing to be deported to Costa Rica — a Central American country relatively close (geographically, linguistically, and culturally) to his native El Salvador — which has indicated it is willing to take him. That’s seemingly important because, if for some reason a removable alien cannot be deported to his native country, federal immigration law bends in favor of deporting the alien to a country of his preference, if it is willing to take him." But that is not true IMO. 8 USC Sec. 1231 is the statute that addresses the issue. Here is the relevant language: "(2) Other aliens Subject to paragraph (3)— (A) Selection of country by alien: Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph— (i) any alien not described in paragraph (1) who has been ordered removed may designate one country to which the alien wants to be removed, and (ii) the Attorney General shall remove the alien to the country the alien so designates. ... (C) Disregarding designation: The Attorney General may disregard a designation under subparagraph (A)(i) if— (i) the alien fails to designate a country promptly; .... (iv) the Attorney General decides that removing the alien to the country is prejudicial to the United States. The statute does not "bend in favor of" deporting Abrego Garcia to Costa Rica simply because he wants to go there. I believe DOJ is perfectly justified in not rewarding him with his "preference" because of the manner in which he has contested removal when he has no factual or legal basis to remaining in the US.

@USronaldcarter It couldn't happen without the city and state governments giving their blessing to the rioters. There is an implicit guarantee that the local and state law enforcement agencies will let their terrorists do anything they want.

🚨 this has happened before.. and the playbook is identical every single time.. Portland 2025.. Antifa encampment outside the ICE facility.. expensive tents.. medical stations.. hot food on rotation.. riot equipment pre-staged.. operation ran for weeks before police moved in.. now it's Newark 2026.. Delaney Hall ICE detention center.. Nick Sortor went in with a hidden camera.. tens of thousands of dollars in equipment already on site.. riot gear.. hourly hot food deliveries.. a medical section.. a fully operational logistics base running round the clock for over a week.. and here's the part nobody's connecting.. spontaneous protests don't have supply chains.. angry citizens don't pre-stage riot equipment worth tens of thousands of dollars.. a week-long operation at a federal detention facility doesn't run itself on goodwill.. state police had to physically intervene to restore order.. this wasn't winding down on its own.. Portland to Newark.. same model.. same equipment.. same logistics.. different city.. the only thing that changes the outcome is going after the people writing the checks.. not the people sleeping in the tents.. Sortor said it directly: arrest the funders and this stops.. because the funders are the ones making it portable.. scalable.. and repeatable.. the camps keep appearing because the people paying for them face zero consequences. I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications right now.

@RedWavePress Cornyn voted with Biden who is an extremist far-left kook about half of the time. We know his faction in the Senate blocked the DOGE cuts and pumped the brakes on the deportation effort after he supported amnesty. There is a gigantic backlog of bills being blocked by him too.

Kevin McCarthy on Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) getting obliterated in the Texas Republican primary: “What it really means is President Trump is probably stronger than any president in our lifetime. Stronger than Ronald Reagan in a Republican primary.” 
“Chip Roy… was running for [Texas] Attorney General. Trump did not endorse him. Simply by not endorsing him, he lost. Ted Cruz was 100% behind him, out there campaigning. The president can determine who is going to win in a Republican Primary.” “I will bet Republicans win Texas.”

@camhigby It is illegal to obstruct the roadways. Why are they not arresting these people and confiscating these gates?

🚨🚨🚨 Rioters in Newark just CAPTURED a vehicle trying to enter the Delaney Hall detention facility. Contractors from the facility came out to defend their female colleagues and rioters used GATES to smash into the vehicle. Pepper balls were deployed.

If you claim to be a "principled conservative" and your "principles" mean constantly handing political power on a silver platter to the left without ever asking them to compromise even a little ever, then your "principles" mean absolutely nothing.

@ClayTravis Abdul is just being a pussy. It isn't more complicated than that.

Abdul Carter says he has a “responsibility” to address Jaxson Dart’s political opinions. Why? Everyone can share their own opinions. Carter didn’t do that. He attacked Dart’s opinions. And now he’s doing it in uniform at work, which Dart never did. Moron.

@chriswithans The thing is, elderly voters drive political outcomes. Not necessarily young people like Mamdani's age cohort and under. This is the hippy generation finally taking their mask off and being honest about themselves.

A lot of dinosaur political commentators are just trapped in March 2021. Pre-Bidenflation, post-J6. The Goldilocks period for when Democrats claimed to be the normal party, the side for normalcy. They were going to use Industrial Policy to revive America! That was all a lie, of course. ARP and IRA turbocharged inflation and was just designed to enrich their cronies and pay off their donors. Not only was that all a mirage, but their party is even worse now. The party of Clinton is fully gone; the party of Obama is just a husk. It's really Mamdani's party now. Socialism with a side of "anti-Zionism." Yeah, the old crones still rage against Trump, but the rest of the party is all about welfare, anti-capitalism, taxing "the rich," and ultimately, anti-Americanism.

@rkylesmith The problem for the people hoping the voters will teach a lesson to Paxton is that anyone who takes one look at Talarico will run for the hills. Talarico is incapable of coming across as a normal person.

People are overthinking Talarico. Hardly anyone who would normally vote R is going to vote for a guy who is going to vote for stuff they hate every time. It is what it is.

@hughhewitt @JohnCornyn That isn't true at all. Cornyn supported red flag laws, which is a complete rejection of due process.

Senator @JohnCornyn will always put the Republic first, and if a SCOTUS nominee comes forward this summer he will be the standard bearer for originalism he has always been. Don’t know about any others but like Jon Kyl before him, John Cornyn is a Constitution-first conservative.

@LACaldwellDC The only part you have correct is that they're angry. Angry that the GOP Senate has to respect anything their own constituents think about the issues.

John Cornyn comes out and says what senators have been telling me privately.... They’re perplexed, angry, and, in some cases, resigned to the conclusion that Trump cares more about himself than the midterms. puck.news/gop-mini-rebel…

@chriswithans Talarico is one of the unauthentic people I've ever seen. His "Christianity" is merely far-left policy preferences created in the last ten years masquerading as Christian values. In any other era, he would've been tarred and feathered for uttering such nonsense in public.

It's a midterm election with a Republican as the president. You're supposed to make the election a referendum on Trump. And I guess Mike Johnson and John Thune. But mostly Trump. Republicans pushed to make this senate election a referendum on Talarico, and Talarico took the bait. That is why he will lose worse than Beto did in 2018. Maybe worse than Allred. Among other things, Talarico isn't a very strong or smart politician. He spends a ton of money to bring in money. And he had to put in effort to beat Jasmine Crockett, a similarly "not great" political actor.

@charlescwcooke The polls show that Republicans like America with or without a Republican president. The Democrats only like America if a Democrat is the president.

It is, though. This country rules.
