This is very typical with Apple. Their left wing engineers and editors pick political winners and losers at every turn.

Dear @realDonaldTrump They are not on your side. VETO!

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.

@LeaderJohnThune You’re a coward. Own it.

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?

This is how the GOP Senate blocks Trump from recess appointments. 2 minute pro forma sessions every few days during their vacation. Only POTUS in history that has had recess appointments blocked by his own party. Think about that. Traitors. Sickening.

@toddstarnes @douglassmackey President Trump can veto it. And he should.

Don't listen to the spin coming from Senate Republicans. Democrats got everything they wanted. American voters got screwed. There was a reason why John Thune scheduled the vote while the nation was asleep - so they could skip town before voters woke up and discovered what they had done. And here's the real kick in the pants - Republican senators left for yet another vacation without doing anything about the Save America Act. There's no polite way to say this - but Senate Republicans are sabotaging the midterm elections and President Trump's agenda.

Like Pavlov's bell for Western midwits.

@hillarytaylorvi @CNN You’d win gold in mental gymnastics

@CNN trans women are women. we strongly condemn the discriminatory policies of the olympics committee taking us back to hitler’s 1930s. transgender rights are human rights.

Thought it was a parody account but nope, it is a legit post from a whackadoodle.

By publishing this explicitly false story, the @FT has officially become tabloid trash for market participants. Despite my direct, on-the-record denial of ever having advocated, explored, or espoused the idea that Chancellor-Bank of England statute serving as a prototype for a Treasury-Federal Reserve relationship, FT journalists manufactured a story with the headline, “Scott Bessent praised Bank of England as model for tighter oversight of the Federal Reserve.” These pathetic journalists have clearly fabricated a story to give the impression that both I and the Trump Administration are setting “about restructuring the relationship… at a time when President Donald Trump has launched an unprecedented assault on the world’s most important central bank.” Their mendacious assertion is based on vague statements from unnamed “financial industry executives familiar with the matter.” In short, FT has literally manufactured an entirely fake policy position for me and the Administration. Other than furthering a maliciously false narrative of dysfunction and divisiveness, it baffles the mind as to why they would shred their already diminished journalistic credibility. Over the past 10 years, I have written more than 20,000 words opining on the Federal Reserve decisions, personnel, structure, and modifications. Nowhere have I ever mentioned this ridiculous notion. The Governor’s letters to the Chancellor have proven to be a useless and perfunctory device. There is much to be said about the storied Bank of England, but any recreation of its operating framework on this side of the Atlantic has never been contemplated. The shameful journalists and editors at the FT are shocking in their meretriciousness, lack of standards, and general intellectual libertinism. It is the worst tradition of Fleet Street to manufacture news rather than report on it. They have brought irredeemable shame to their parent organization, Nikkei Inc., with whom I had previously held excellent relations. In 2025, I laid out a comprehensive 6,000+ word review of each and every policy reform that I believe should be adopted by the Federal Reserve.

@SecScottBessent @RapidResponse47 @FT They are weaponizing the media to undermine the success of the United States because of their TDS. If this is deliberate, which it appears to be by repeated bs stories, then it should be actionable because criminal behavior is not protected by the First Amendment

Check with California to see how that went ….

Eric Trump explains just how bad Democrats weaponized the DOJ 🚨 He also says he believes Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Democrats in charge during the Biden Admin were responsible for organizing the assassination attempt “I became the most subpoenaed person in American history, 112 subpoenas for doing nothing wrong. I've never gotten so much as a traffic ticket. 91 indictments toward my father. They came after us like we were dogs They raided Mar-a-Lago. They raided Melania's room, their room — It was the government. It was Joe Biden. It was Merrick Garland. We know that Hillary paid for the dirty dossier. We know that Barack Obama was the one that did the Russia hoax. They weaponized every bank. They weaponized every financial institution. They weaponized the DOJ. They spied on our campaign. And when none of this worked, you know what they did? They tried to shoot my father because they couldn't control us. We weren't one of them. We love this country. We love our nation. We love the constitution. We love God. We love faith. We love freedom. And our country was going to hell. So guess what? We fought relentlessly”

@HumanEvents @nicksortor @JackPosobiec Oh there’s a way. There’s nothing pretty about it but the full force of the federal government could fix it.

.@nicksortor tells @JackPosobiec about a Portland jury finding one of his Antifa-affiliated attacker's NOT GUILTY on all charges: "It was somebody that was literally attacking me on the street…It's crazy. I don't know if there's a way to save cities like this."
