I am running for Virginia Senate to represent the 11th district of Virginia which consists of the counties of Albemarle, Amherst, Louisa and Nelson.

[Philip Hamilton @HamiltonForVA]

Senator Louise Lucas states that she isn’t backing down, but I believe that her time in office is coming to an end.

She evaded justice after she incited a riot, which resulting in the toppling of a Confederate monument in 2020.

This time there isn’t a wave of Antifa and BLM rioters to back the senator up while she defends her shady business dealings.

[InfantryDort @infantrydort]

Nah man. I’m not gonna let this go unchecked. As a GWOT veteran I can’t.

I listened to Massie drone through his articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth and I recognized the sickness immediately.

We fought under this ridiculous worldview during GWOT, and it cost us dearly.

Massie is merely an acolyte of the bloodless bureaucratic religion that puts the lawyer in the center of the kill chain, treats every American use of force like a moral emergency, and somehow always finds more sympathy for the enemy being hunted than for the American sent to hunt him.

His whole speech I began wondering who he actually was speaking for, and that’s not good.

GWOT vets know EXACTLY where that road leads. Another approval. Another review. Another JAG opinion. Another commander afraid to make a decision because one bad headline will destroy his career faster than losing the fight ever could.

We were lectured for years about “courageous restraint.” We were told that killing one enemy might create ten more. We were taught to fear our own lethality while the enemy studied our hesitation.

And then we spent twenty years bleeding into the fucking sand.

So spare me the sermon about how dangerous it is to remove lawyers who think their job is to become a veto point over command. Spare me the sudden reverence for process from people who watched Afghanistan collapse, watched thirteen Americans die at Abbey Gate, watched the Taliban retake Kabul, and somehow found no constitutional apocalypse worthy of impeachment then.

Now the outrage is that the machine is actually being used. That commanders are expected to command. And that enemies are being treated like…. actual enemies for once.

That civilian leadership is telling the bureaucracy to get the hell out of the way of lawful military action.

From where I sit, the betrayal isn’t that Washington finally found some aggression for a chang. The realest betrayal is that men like Massie still think the lesson of the GWOT was that we needed more hesitation.

No. WE NEEDED MORE VICTORY.

And I’m done pretending those are the same thing. We’re all done with it. Massie is dead wrong here, he knows it, you know it, and I know it.

Sincerely,
-A seriously disgruntled GWOT vet who knows Hegseth is the cure to what ails our military here.

Follow the money.
Audit everything.

Thank you, Sec. Bessent. 🇺🇸

Do you firmly support Scott on this?

BREAKING: DOJ assistant AG for civil rights Harmeet Dhillon has resigned following Democrats' midterm sweep, according to Fox News.

The announcement comes as Secretary of State Marco Rubio is also considering resigning, according to The Independent.

"Former officials said the [DOJ] is bracing for multiple other top political appointees to exit in the lame duck period before the New Year," Bloomberg reports.

Up to five cabinet members are reportedly considering leaving the Trump administration.

[Newt Gingrich @newtgingrich]

The scale of the Republican defeat is so great that it makes the race for the GOP presidential nomination wide open.

If the administration had won a big victory, Vice President J D Vance would have had an enormous argument to be the inevitable nominee.

Now, with this go-slow strategy blowing up in Iran and his defense of Vivek Ramaswamy's horrible, inhumane ad featuring his opponent's mother attacking her own daughter, a good bit of the luster has come off the bloom.

The number of people who want to draft Secretary of State Marco Rubio is staggering.

In addition, Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton, Ron DeSantis, Pete Hegseth, Glenn Youngkin, and a surprising number of people may decide this is their chance to take advantage of the chaos of the shocking defeat and seek to be the champion who can rescue the party and the country.

[JD Vance @JDVance]

One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"—whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up.

So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? "No," he told me. "We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us."

Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026.

There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasn’t sharp enough down the stretch. I’m sure that’s true.

But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone.

Another pollster—one of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday we’d lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were:

1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel

Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. While many spent Monday attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it turns out her political advice was sound. (She’s also a great person.)

In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcement—by focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance. But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you.

The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.

If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest.

But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.

I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, “I told you so”: you’re right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Let’s take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.

RUSSIA, CHINA, and IRAN are building kamikaze drones to hunt American soldiers in the next war. I'm building SENTRY to stop them, so no American is killed by an attack drone.

You've seen the videos from Ukraine: a soldier alone in a field, a drone closing in behind him, nowhere to run. That's what war looks like now. A drone that costs a few hundred dollars can kill a soldier we spent years training, and they come in waves.

This isn't about taking sides in someone else's war. It's about making sure every American who puts on the uniform comes home. And it's getting closer to home: cartels already fly drones across our southern border. It's only a matter of time before those drones are armed.

Here's what most people don't realize: almost every counter drone system out there protects a place, not a person. Bases, ships, convoys. Radar, jammers, guns, missiles. The soldier on foot gets a handheld jammer that can't stop a fiber optic drone, a shotgun, and luck. And shooting million dollar missiles at few hundred dollar drones is a losing trade for the taxpayer.

SENTRY is air defense for one soldier. Here's how it's designed to work:

A sensor pack on the soldier's back is always listening and looking for incoming drones. When one is spotted, an interceptor drone launches from a cartridge on the pack, rushes the attacker, and wraps it in a net, taking it down away from the soldier. It doesn't rely on jamming, so it's designed to stop the drones jammers can't touch. Then the soldier slots in a fresh interceptor, ready for the next one. The version in this video is the biggest SENTRY will ever be.

It's designed to fit how soldiers already fight, with almost no extra training, and to be affordable enough for every soldier, not just every base. Every squad on patrol should carry a few. Every soldier walking alone should have SENTRY watching their six.

Peace through strength starts with protecting the people we send to fight. The next war will be decided by who can put the most drones in the air, and who can keep their soldiers alive underneath them.

I never want to see a video of an American soldier being hunted down by a kamikaze drone. That's why I'm building SENTRY.

Cannot over-state the importance of what is being reported by @datarepublican & @nataliegwinters
They are absolutely correct. We are looking at a shaping operation similar to 2020 where they told you: “on election day it would look like Trump was winning but when the mail-in ballots were counted, Biden would win”. That was exactly what happened, but it was a lie. It happened because they engineered the steal & prepped the information battle-space so you would believe it & they could get away with it. So you would not pay attention to mail-in ballot drops that were 100 percent for one candidate - which everyone knows never happens organically. The purpose of a shaping operation is to manipulate your mind in order to engineer your behavior & manipulate the outcome. How you defeat this is very simple: you expose it so that the lies collapse & wethepeople are not deceived. Share everywhere, talk about this - folo those reporting on this. Do not disengage or try to hide your head in the sand. This is the moment to make your life count by standing for something much bigger than all of us. It is a gift. Don’t waste it.

Welcome to Virginia, where you need a government-issued photo ID to buy a pack of cigarettes, but not to vote for US Senator.

Effective 10/1/26 - Virginia Code § 4.1-359, tobacco retailers are required to verify a purchaser’s age using government-issued photo identification.

But under Virginia Code § 24.2-643(B), a registered voter who does not present an acceptable form of identification may sign an ID Confirmation Statement and cast a full regular (non provisional) ballot.

Virginia requires government-issued photo identification to purchase cigarettes, but allows registered voters to cast ballots without presenting any identification at all because requiring ID to vote is racist but requiring photo ID to buy smokes is not racist.

Apparently, buying a pack of Marlboros requires more documentary proof than electing the people who govern Virginia and the Federal Government.

Make that make sense.

This is insane.

This money is coming from YOU AND ME! It’s coming from ratepayers.

We pay Dominion and then they funnel it into the pockets of politicians who regulate them.

They’re charging us more so that they can pay off politicians to keep rates high.

Yes, Democrat energy policies are a HUGE problem. But how is this not just naked corruption?

🚨 JUST IN: FBI Director Kash Patel reveals now-indicted President Pro Tempore of the Virginia Senate L. Louise Lucas (D) not only obtained MILLIONS OF DOLLARS through an illegal marijuana operation, but used her Senatorial position to PROTECT IT

FRAUD, CHEATING AND STEALING.

"Truly, the epitome of hypocrisy for a public official. Ms. Lucas posted on social media, 'I'm a 78-year-old grandma who legalized pot and now has her own cannabis store, and I'm the last thing standing between the GOP and total control of Virginia. That's worth an RT,' end quote."

"While she was posting these things, and the reason I highlighted it, is because during this time period, her and her co-conspirators continued her criminal conspiracy to enrich themselves and break the public trust!" @FBIDirectorKash

She bragged about her cannabis store online while the feds say the illegal side of it was making her rich!

Then made it about Republicans!

Now she's RIGHTFULLY facing FEDERAL charges.

Total nuke in Virginia politics. One of the most powerful and influential Dem senators has been exposed for the fraud she is.
