I got a call tonight from a constituent whose son is in federal prison He explained that he hasn’t heard from his son in several days (which is unusual for him), that his son suffers from multiple, potentially life-threatening health conditions that are going untreated in prison, and that he needed to know whether his son was still alive He sent me the main switchboard number for the prison in question (which is on the east coast), and I called the number Someone answered almost immediately I explained who I was and why I was calling, and in particular that I needed to know whether this particular inmate was alive and well The guy scolded me three times for calling “too f***ing late” and refused to tell me anything Only when I persisted did he agree to check his records to confirm that the inmate in question was alive and well After checking a list briefly, he came back to the phone and said “he’s here, and he’s alive and receiving the treatment he needs” (His parents assure me that that’s simply not true) I asked politely if someone could leave the inmate a message asking him to call his parents in the morning He said, “it’s too late” I responded, “I don’t mean now, I mean in the morning” He scolded me again for calling too late, and then told me I’d have to call tomorrow and track down the inmate’s counselor I asked him if he could relay the note to the counselor for me He scolded me again for calling too late and asked me to call back tomorrow to track down the inmate’s counselor I asked for the guy’s name He refused to answer I asked for his name again He hung up on me That’s not okay Sadly, this is not the first time I’ve had this experience when talking to people from the U.S. Bureau of Prisons on behalf of constituents with an incarcerated family member suffering from a severe medical condition And each occasion, I’ve been treated at best with dismissiveness and at worst with contempt and profanity Has anyone else experienced this with the U.S. Bureau of Prisons?

Ilhan Omar: “Can I get a $1 million earmark for a ‘substance abuse clinic’?” Congress: “Sure!” Ilhan Omar: “It’s really a restaurant run by Somalis” Congress: …. Earmarks are bad This is just one of many examples that remind us why they should be banned

The FACE Act was never supposed to be politically one-sided—benefitting the left and hurting conservatives And yet that is how it has been used Until now

America’s media cartel: Refusing to report on violent crimes committed by illegal aliens against Americans. They don’t make the news. They just “report” it. Always in the light most favorable to the far left.

What would happen if the intended victims of South Africa’s genocidal maniacs were of *any* other race? Genocide is horrific and should be universally condemned—even where the victims are deemed to be of the “wrong race,” as they far too often are. Skin color is irrelevant.

@elonmusk @dezelan_james “If white people are the victims, it can’t be considered racism—or even genocide.”

Good question

When the U.S. government turns a blind eye to the largest human-trafficking operation in U.S. history, children suffer

Voter fraud is notoriously difficult to detect Especially without voter ID laws That’s why we need voter ID laws The SAVE America Act is a federal voter ID law Without it, federal elections will remain unacceptably vulnerable

What about all of the noncitizens who have registered to vote at a DMV using an NVRA voter-registration form? And what about the Supreme Court ruling telling states that the NVRA prohibits them from verifying citizenship, even where they suspect a noncitizen is registering?

Let’s clean up America’s elections And pass the SAVE America Act

Hey @Grok, what’s the percentage of all federal income tax that’s already paid by America’s top 1%? How about the top 10%?

It’s April 15, 2026 The Senate must pass the SAVE America Act It will take time, but with enough time we can pass it

@KatieMiller Love Byron Donalds

BYRON DONALDS ON VOTER ID: “I don't know what the heck is going on in the United States Senate. But Senate Republicans gotta wake up. “This is not 1978. It's not 1990. The Democrats are true radicals. “Democrats started by saying voter ID was racist. Now they're saying voter ID is sexist because they've lost the racist argument. “I don't listen to the Democrat arguments anymore, because they're stupid, and they assume that the American people are dumb, ignorant, and can't fend for themselves.”

@diffeq398 Much appreciated We have to keep pushing

@BasedMikeLee Thank you very much for your consistent hard work to pass the SAVE America Act senator Lee, appreciate you

We’ve got two options: (1) enforce the talking filibuster, or (2) nuke the zombie filibuster I strongly prefer the first option But the status quo is untenable

@RedbeardF451 We shouldn’t ignore our options We do have them!

@BasedMikeLee There's other options but we haven't gotten there on the Right yet. The left has, though.

@sparkplug754 The status quo doesn’t work

@BasedMikeLee NUKE IT, now !!!

Are your tax dollars well spent?

@ClayTravis “Funding fraud is our patriotic duty”

Happy Tax Day. The top 1% pays 40% of all income taxes, the top 10% pays 72% and the top 25% pays 87% of all income taxes. Meanwhile the bottom 50% pays ZERO income taxes. For all of you actually paying taxes, do you think your tax dollars are being spent well?

Who else will enthusiastically applaud when Trump gets us out of NATO?

Government intervention makes childcare—like far too many other goods and services—unaffordable. “Washington, D.C. day care teachers must have a degree in Early Childhood Education. That can take two years and cost $22,000. ‘Of course you’re going to have to pay a lot more,’ says Lukas in my new video, ‘when you’ve asked people to invest tens of thousands of dollars in degrees.’”
