@RepHaleyStevens The dismantling of the Department of Education is only a danger to the multitude of leaches that have bled American taxpayers while destroying a once premier education system.

Donald Trump’s latest attempt to dismantle the Department of Education is a danger to families everywhere and a complete disregard for the values America was built on.

My daughter spent 4 years earning her bachelor’s degree, followed by another year doing research at UC San Diego and after scoring high on the MCAT to get accepted into medical school. After 4 more years of med school, she’ll be competing for residency — a total of 10 years of hard work and massive debt. Meanwhile, she’ll be up against foreign doctors who only spent 6 years in their home countries to become physicians. How is this fair to American students who invest a decade of their lives and hundreds of thousands in debt to become doctors? Why aren’t we putting American doctors first? Who’s going to compensate our kids for this burden? America First means taking care of our own. 🇺🇸

@SenSanders Trump didn’t encourage any of these people to take out huge college loans for worthless degrees that could never be paid back. *YOU* and your party leaders pushed for this. Own it!

Thanks to Trump and his “Big Beautiful Bill,” student loan payments will go up as much as $4,000 a year starting July 1st. While billionaires get massive tax breaks, working people will be defaulting on their debts. Unacceptable.

@MichiganDems Stop bringing up Biden. We already know about his rotten record.

As they fight it out for Donald Trump’s endorsement, John James, Perry Johnson, and Mike Cox have made themselves inseparable from the toxic, corrupt, and cost-raising president. #MIGov

@dananessel All 3 members of the Michigan Public Service Commission were appointed by Whitmer and have rubber stamped every utility rate increase. Your party is actually the reason why rates are so high. You haven’t stopped anything. Calling you useless is an understatement.

Want a state AG who will challenge the utilities each and every time they ask for a rate hike? Get yourself a Democratic AG. thebradentontimes.com/stories/florid…

Nothing to see here… Just Pocahontas getting out of a private jet going to her vehicle with a personal chauffeur to drive her around so she can make a video talking about how bad wealthy people are for humanity 🤣

DAY 17 — NATIONAL GUN VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH HE GOT SHOT. HE GOT UP. THIS WAS TWELVE DAYS AGO. Friday night. June 5, 2026. 10:23 p.m. San Jacinto, California. A father is outside hanging out with his neighbors. Ordinary Friday night. The kind of evening where nothing is supposed to happen — porch conversation, the day winding down, nobody checking the locks because nobody is thinking about locks. His wife goes back inside to charge her phone. She does not find a quiet house. A man named Ismael Martinez, 45 years old, is inside. He has a shotgun. He has no connection to this family, no connection to this house — he picked it at random, less than a mile from where he had just assaulted his own girlfriend with a knife. She is in a hospital right now because of what he did to her before he ever reached this family's front door. The wife runs. Martinez fires at her as she flees toward the garage. She gets out. She is screaming — "There's an intruder" — and her husband, standing outside with his neighbors, understands in roughly one second what that sentence means. His teenage daughter is still inside. He moves toward the house. Martinez, inside, is reloading. He opens fire on the father as the father comes through the door. A neighbor who watched this happen told local reporters exactly what he saw: the father got shot at. He went down. He got back up. And he finished the fight. I want you to actually sit with that sequence for a second, because it is not a movie. He went down. Read that again. And then he got back up and ended the threat that was standing between him and his daughter. Martinez died at the scene. The father's daughter was out of the house unharmed. His wife was unharmed. A neighbor who knew this family said it plainly afterward: his goal was to get his daughter out safely, regardless of what happened to him. This is not a story from 1966 or 2007 or 2017. This happened twelve days ago. I am writing this sentence on a Wednesday and a father in San Jacinto, California, twelve days ago, walked into gunfire, took a hit, got up, and made sure his daughter walked out of that house breathing. NOW LET ME TELL YOU WHERE THIS HAPPENED. California. The state with a ten-day waiting period on firearm purchases. The state with one of the most extensive background check regimes in the country. The state that requires a Firearm Safety Certificate, registers every handgun transfer, and restricts magazine capacity. If the theory that gun control prevents violence were true — if the laws on the books in California actually did what their authors promised — a man who had just committed a knife assault on his girlfriend less than a mile away should not have been standing inside a stranger's house twelve minutes later with a loaded shotgun. He was. Because criminals do not fill out paperwork. They do not wait ten days. They do not submit to background checks before deciding to commit a violent felony. Every restriction California has passed in the name of public safety applied with full force to the father defending his family that night, and applied with absolutely zero friction to the man who broke into his house to hurt his wife and daughter. What next — is California going to tell us their gun laws prevent exactly this kind of random, violent home invasion... wait. I just checked. June 5, 2026. San Jacinto. It already happened. In California. Under California's laws. To a family that did everything right. THE NUMBER THAT SHOULD END THIS DEBATE PERMANENTLY Here is something Dr. John Lott documented that the gun control lobby has never wanted printed next to a headline like this one: concealed handgun permit holders, as a population, are convicted of crimes — including firearms violations — at rates dramatically lower than police officers. Lower than police officers. The population that gun control advocates treat as the danger is, by documented conviction data, more law-abiding than the population we trust to carry a badge and a service weapon every single day. That father in San Jacinto is not an outlier. He is the statistical norm for an armed civilian. The exception in that house on June 5th was the convicted-history-of-violence intruder who should never have had unimpeded access to a firearm in the first place, regardless of what California's paperwork says should happen. And since I already know what is coming in the replies — "but what about kids in the home with guns" — let us handle that directly with Lott's own data. There were approximately 1,400 accidental firearm deaths in the United States in the most recent complete year studied. More children die in bicycle accidents every single year than die from all types of firearm incidents combined, accidental or otherwise. I am not telling you to stop worrying about firearm safety in the home — responsible storage matters and I practice it in my own house. I am telling you that the fear driving this entire policy conversation is wildly disproportionate to the actual risk, while the benefit — a father who was physically present and armed at the exact moment his daughter needed him to be — never shows up in anyone's risk calculation at all. THE LEGAL GROUND THAT NEVER MOVES DeShaney v. Winnebago County (1989) and Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales (2005): the government has no constitutional duty to protect you as an individual. Riverside County deputies arrived at that San Jacinto home moments after the gunfire ended. Moments. Not minutes that felt like hours — actual moments, a fast and professional response by any standard. And it still was not fast enough to be the variable that saved that daughter's life, because nothing arriving after the first shot ever can be. The only thing standing in that hallway between Ismael Martinez and that teenage girl was her father, already there, already armed, already willing. But what do I know — I am only a medically retired Army combat medic who understands exactly what it costs a body to get back up after being hit and keep fighting anyway, a published textbook author, a science teacher, and a father of four who read this story and did not have to imagine what that father was thinking when he heard his wife scream. I know exactly what he was thinking. There was only one acceptable outcome, and he was going to make sure of it himself. IF THIS ARTICLE MADE YOU THINK: LIKE it so the algorithm shows it to people who need to read it. SHARE it — this happened less than two weeks ago in one of the strictest gun-law states in the country. People need to see what that actually looked like. COMMENT below: California has a ten-day waiting period, background checks, and a Firearm Safety Certificate requirement. None of it stopped Ismael Martinez. Tell me what law you think would have.

🚨HOLY CRAP!!! ICE just caught a COMMANDER of two foreign terrorist organizations living in SMALL-TOWN North Carolina... ...and he was HOLDING HIS OWN WIFE HOSTAGE!!! His name is Felipe Dell Aquilla, a commander of the PCC and Comando Vermelho, the two largest criminal empires in Brazil, both designated FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS. When federal agents moved in, he ran, leading them on a high-speed chase that ended when he CRASHED into stopped traffic. THERE ARE LITERAL TERRORIST COMMANDERS HIDING OUT IN SMALL TOWNS IN THE SOUTH!!!!!!!! WHY ISN'T THIS THE #1 STORY IN AMERICA RIGHT NOW?!!!!!!!!

@dananessel This only affects illegal aliens and bums.

No family should ever have to sit around the kitchen table wondering if they can afford their next meal, but recent cuts to SNAP will have devastating consequences across our state. wilx.com/2026/06/17/mic…

@SenatorSlotkin You are the person making it political - as usual

The total damage from the ice storm Michigan had a year and a half ago was $440 million. We can’t have a system where you get a bigger or faster payout if you’re in a Republican state. Let’s keep disasters apolitical.

@BasedMikeLee @RealDeanCain Why, why why is Thune still in his position????

We don’t have 60 votes for the House-passed SAVE America Act But we do have a simple majority Given the bill’s widespread bipartisan popularity, we could pass it with a simple majority—by debating it until it passes I explain how in this clip Share if you want this to happen

@TeamMcMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow Man-o-man! There must be purdy near 20-30 people there. You really know how to draw an enthusiastic crowd.

.@MalloryMcMorrow bringing the energy tonight in Woodbridge 🔥

@LeaderJohnThune You are practically salivating at the thought of spying on Americans.

We need to get the FISA Section 702 program reauthorized quickly so that the intelligence community has the tools they need to keep Americans safe during a summer of high-profile celebrations.

@WWJ950 Why not just lower water costs for everyone?

Michigan Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Debbie Dingell introduce the Water Access and Affordability Act. Proposed amendment to establish a $20-billion annual Low-Income Drinking Water Assistance Program. VIDEO: Jon Hewett

@GovWhitmer Just like government loans for students that immediately drove up college tuition, this scheme will actually drive up the cost of homes.

I proposed a plan during my State of the State to lower housing costs . The plan would unlock a new, state-level affordable housing tax credit, cut red tape, and streamline zoning. Let’s build more homes and drive costs down so every Michigander can find a place to call home.

@MalloryMcMorrow My gawd - I don’t know who’s a bigger phony - you, Benson or Whitmer. You reek of insincerity

Right now, we need to see some fight. So we went to talk to the experts at Jabs Gym in Detroit.

@FuckThaDems @MeidasTouch Here’s where the real money printing occurred according to the Federal Reserve.

@MeidasTouch Is anyone surprised? This administration has done nothing but print money.

New documents obtained by The Washington Post show the price to build the ballroom has ballooned to $600 million, up from the initial $200 million estimate, with more than half expected to be paid by U.S. taxpayers. wapo.st/4vOuwPD

@MichiganDems All 3 members of the Michigan Public Service Commission were appointed by Whitmer and have rubber stamped every utility rate increase. Your party is actually the reason why rates are so high.

The Trump economy strikes again. Michiganders are struggling with rising energy costs as summer heats up. Higher electricity prices and greater AC usage mean higher bills. cnn.com/2026/06/13/eco…

Go fuck yourself! @DTE_Energy is in the Democrats pockets. In 2019, they donated $840,000 to Whitmer and the Democrat Party for FAVORS, i.e. the Freedom to screw customers! In 2022 a DTE-tied nonprofit gave $2 Million to Michigan Democrats to help win the 2022 election helping them win CONTROL of the state government ahead of energy work. DTE paid NO FEDERAL TAXES after a profit of $1.5 Billion Dollars. Our rates are out of control because @gretchenwhitmer GAVE DTE and Consumers Energy a combined total of $1.6 Billion Taxpayer Dollars and gave them the authority by her hand picked administration to raise our rates. Michigan has the HIGHEST electricity rates in the region. We're paying an additional $.534 per gallon of gas to fix the roads instead of the flat 6% tax we were paying. Whitmer SPENT the $9 Billion Dollar Surplus the state was given to fix our roads and infrastructure. Gave $20 Million of that money to her friend Fay Beydoun.

@marceelias Sounds like an awesome idea!

Shasta County, CA, recently approved one of the most sweeping local attacks on voting since 2020: a measure that would end most mail-in and early voting, require strict photo ID to register and vote and force election officials to hand count ballots. democracydocket.com/analysis/repub…
