Dear Senator Hawley,

You have betrayed us……
We thought for sure you were going to help us drain the swamp and carry out the mandates we brought forth when electing Trump.

On Memorial Day 2026, while the rest of America paused to honor the fallen who died defending our freedoms, you chose to gavel in a meaningless pro forma Senate session and then gavel it right back out. A 30 second ritual that accomplished exactly nothing except one thing: deliberately blocking President Trump from making a single recess appointment.

You personally stood in the way of the American people’s mandate.

We voted. We won. We gave President Trump the White House, we gave Republicans the Senate, and we sent a clear message……drain the swamp, confirm the loyalists, and move at warp speed to repair what the last four years destroyed.

Instead, you and the rest of the Senate club decided the dusty old rulebook matters more than the will of the voters who handed you the majority.

By keeping the Senate “technically in session” through sham pro forma meetings, you stripped the President of a constitutional tool specifically designed to bypass obstruction like this.

Do you understand what that means, Senator?

It means qualified America First nominees, judges, ambassadors, agency heads, and military leaders remain stuck in limbo while the same entrenched bureaucrats who sabotaged Trump the first time continue holding power. It means the deep state gets more time to resist, delay, leak, obstruct, and laugh at the voters who believed change was finally coming.

It means Americans are once again being told their landslide victory was meaningless because the Senate has “traditions.”

You ran on fighting the swamp. You wrote books about it. You raised your fist outside the Capitol with the rest of us.

Now you’re the one holding the gavel that keeps the swamp alive.

We are not disappointed, Senator Hawley.

We are furious.

You didn’t have to take that presiding slot. You didn’t have to participate in the ritual protecting the establishment from the very change Americans demanded. But you did.

Every day those positions remain unfilled is another day the agenda Americans voted for is delayed.

This is not “procedure.”

This is betrayal dressed up in a suit and tie.

The swamp does not drain itself. It requires leaders willing to confront a broken system instead of protecting it under the banner of “tradition.” Right now, you are choosing the institution over the people who elected you.

We expected better from you.

We still want to believe you are not just another suit who talks tough on Fox News and then folds the moment Senate leadership whispers “tradition.”

Prove us wrong.

Demand these pro forma charades end immediately. Demand recess appointments be allowed so President Trump can govern at the speed this moment requires. Stand in that chamber and publicly call out the hypocrisy.

Because if you don’t, the answer to the question “What did Josh Hawley do on Memorial Day 2026?” will be simple:

He helped keep the swamp alive.

We’re watching.

We’re angry.

And we will remember.

Sincerely,

We the Disappointed, Disgusted, and Determined Trump Voters
The American Majority You Were Elected to Serve

Elon Musk just defended America better than every politician in Washington combined.

Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?”

One nation on earth held a weapon nobody else had.

Total dominance. Zero competition. No risk of retaliation.

Every empire in history that held that kind of advantage used it.

Rome. The Mongols. The British. The Ottomans.

They conquered until they collapsed.

America had a bigger advantage than all of them combined.

And it rebuilt the countries it just defeated.

Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.”

Almost unprecedented?

It had never happened before. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded history.

The Marshall Plan wasn’t foreign aid.

It was the most radical act of restraint any superpower ever committed.

America turned its enemies into allies. Turned rubble into economies. Turned surrender into partnership.

Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a generation.

Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.

Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.

A city in the heart of the nation that just tried to destroy it.

That’s not policy.

That’s a civilization deciding what it is at the exact moment it has the power to be anything.

You’re being told a story right now.

That America is the villain of history.

You hear it everywhere. Media. Universities. Social platforms.

Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.”

Every nation on earth has dark chapters. Every single one.

The difference is what a country does when nobody can stop it.

And when nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.

Musk: “The history of China suggests that China is not acquisitive. Meaning they’re not going to go out and invade a whole bunch of countries.”

Probably right.

China has historically built walls, not fleets.

But the real question isn’t about borders anymore.

We’re approaching a moment that mirrors 1945 in ways nobody has fully processed yet.

AI is going to give a handful of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look quaint.

If someone is going to hold that kind of power, who do you want it to be?

The country that conquered when it could? Or the one that rebuilt when it didn’t have to?

Every alliance. Every trade route. Every economy.

Billions lifted out of poverty.

All of it traces back to one act of restraint that had never been done before.

And carries no guarantee of being repeated.

The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb.

It was what it didn’t do after.

My daughter got detention for defending her late Marine father — but when FOUR MEN IN UNIFORM walked into the school the next day, the entire building went silent.
"Mrs. Harrison, you have to understand: Grace’s behavior was completely UNACCEPTABLE. We respect your husband’s service to this country, but..." her teacher said.
My 14-year-old daughter sat beside me, her eyes glassy.
The day before, one of her classmates had made a joke about Grace not having a father.
He was a Marine. Grace was only three when we lost him.
So when that girl laughed and said, "Maybe your dad just didn’t want to come back," something inside Grace snapped.
She shot to her feet so fast that her chair slammed to the floor.
Through tears, she shouted,
"My dad was a HERO. Don’t you ever talk about him like that again!"
She was the one who got detention.
She barely said a word the whole way home. That night, I found her sitting on the floor in my husband’s old sweatshirt.
"I’m sorry I got in trouble," she whispered. "I just couldn’t let her say that about him."
My heart cracked wide open.
The next morning, the school called an emergency assembly.
I assumed it had something to do with Spirit Week. A few minutes after the first bell, Grace texted me from the auditorium.
Then my phone rang.
"Mom..." she whispered, her voice shaky. "You need to come."
I stood up so fast I knocked over my coffee.
"What happened? Grace, are you okay?"
There was a long silence on the other end.
"Mom... four men in uniform just walked into the school."
"Hide right now. What’s happening? I’m calling the police!"
But Grace laughed.
"No, Mom, they’re not doing anything bad. You have no idea WHAT JUST HAPPENED! Just get here, please!" she said, before the line went dead.
I didn't bother grabbing my purse. I threw my keys into the ignition, my heart hammering against my ribs, and sped to the high school. When I burst through the double doors of the auditorium, I stopped dead in my tracks.
The room, packed with over eight hundred teenagers, was completely, eerily silent.
Down the center aisle stood four imposing figures in impeccable Marine Corps Dress Blues. The brass buttons caught the overhead lights, and their crisp white covers were tucked sharply under their arms. I recognized the man at the front immediately. It was Staff Sergeant Miller—my late husband’s closest friend and squad leader. I had called him in tears the night before, just needing someone who understood the weight of the disrespect Grace had faced. I hadn't expected him to do *this*.
The principal, Mr. Davis, stood awkwardly at the podium, looking completely out of his depth.
Staff Sergeant Miller didn't wait for permission to speak. He stepped up to the front, taking the microphone from the stand, and his booming, authoritative voice echoed through the massive room.
"We apologize for the interruption, Principal Davis," Miller said, though his tone suggested he wasn't sorry at all. "But we received word that a young lady in this school was being disciplined for defending the honor of a fallen United States Marine."
A collective gasp rippled through the student body. The teacher who had given Grace detention slunk back into her seat in the front row, her face turning crimson.
Miller’s heavy gaze swept across the bleachers. "Where is Grace Harrison?"
Grace stood up slowly from the middle row, still wearing her dad’s oversized sweatshirt.
"Come down here, Grace," Miller commanded gently.
As she walked down the bleacher steps, the three other Marines broke formation and fell perfectly into step behind her, creating an impromptu honor guard. They escorted her to the center of the floor.
Miller turned to face the silent crowd. "Captain Mark Harrison didn't just 'not want to come back.' He gave his life pulling three wounded men out of a burning transport vehicle in the middle of a firefight. I know, because I was one of those men. None of us standing here today would be breathing if it weren't for Grace's father."
The silence in the room was absolute. You could have heard a pin drop. A few rows up, the girl who had made the cruel joke the day before was staring at her shoes, visibly crying.
Miller turned back to Grace and dropped to one knee, bringing himself to eye level with her. He pulled a small, velvet box from his pocket and opened it, revealing a gleaming Challenge Coin from their old unit.
"Grace," he said, his voice thick with emotion but loud enough for the microphone to carry. "Your father was the bravest man I ever knew. You stood your ground yesterday, just like he would have. You protected his honor, and now, his squad is here to protect yours. We have your back. Always."
He pressed the heavy metal coin into her palm, stood up, and then all four Marines snapped a crisp, perfectly unified salute to my fourteen-year-old daughter.
Tears streamed down Grace's face, but they weren't tears of anger or shame anymore. She stood tall, squared her shoulders, and returned a clumsy but beautiful salute of her own.
Suddenly, from the back row of the bleachers, a single student stood up and started clapping. Then another. Within seconds, the entire auditorium erupted into a deafening standing ovation. Even Mr. Davis and the teachers were on their feet.
I hurried down the aisle, wiping away my own tears, and wrapped Grace in a massive hug. Staff Sergeant Miller tipped his head to me, a fierce, protective glint in his eye.
Before we could leave the building, Principal Davis rushed over to us in the hallway. He looked thoroughly chastised.
"Mrs. Harrison, Grace," he stammered, wringing his hands. "I... I want to formally apologize. The detention has been completely wiped from her record. We will be handling the bullying incident with the other student appropriately, and frankly, I think our staff needs a heavy refresher on empathy."
Grace squeezed the coin in her hand, looking up at the four men in uniform who had dropped everything to stand by her side. She didn't need to say a word. The message had been delivered loud and clear.
Captain Mark Harrison had left a legacy of courage behind, and that day, an entire school learned exactly what it meant to be a hero's daughter.

We just won Missouri v. Biden.

As Missouri’s Attorney General, I sued the Biden regime for brazenly colluding with Big Tech to silence Missouri families — censoring the truth about COVID, the Hunter Biden laptop, the open border, and the 2020 election. They tried to turn Facebook, X, YouTube, and the rest into their private speech police, labeling dissent “misinformation” while they pushed their narrative on the American people.

Today, after years of unrelenting litigation, we deep state into a historic 10-year, court-enforceable Consent Decree. It directly binds the Surgeon General, the CDC, and CISA: no more threats of legal, regulatory, or economic punishment. No more coercion. No more unilateral direction or veto of platform decisions to remove, suppress, deplatform, or algorithmically bury protected speech.

Missouri struck first—and Missouri won big.

This is the first real, operational restraint on the federal censorship machine. It locks in the First Amendment principle we fought for: modern technology doesn’t erase your rights, and government labels don’t strip speech of protection. The deep state just got checked.

For every working Missouri family tired of being silenced by their own government: this victory is yours. The heartland fought back, and the heartland delivered.

President Trump asked Congress: “Stand if you agree: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”

Democrats did not stand.

This tells you everything you need to know.

[Nick Sortor @nicksortor]

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just CHECKMATED Democrats in the House chamber

He asked members of Congress to STAND UP if they believe it's the duty of the US government to protect American citizens over illegals...

AND PRACTICALLY ALL DEMOCRATS STAYED SITTING

"You should be ASHAMED of yourselves by sitting down!"

[Sean Davis @seanmdav]

Dear @SouthwestAir: Your new seating rules and boarding procedures are a DISASTER.

Boarding is chaos. Deboarding is even worse. Your new boarding order leads to front bins being filled by back seaters before longtime A-Listers even board. This leads to madness upon deboarding as people go against the flow of traffic to get the carry-ons they had to stash 20 rows behind them.

And because you no longer allow two bags to be checked for free, there are way more carry-ons, which only leads to longer boarding and deboarding times.

There’s simply no reason to fly Southwest anymore. You don’t have the lowest fares. Miles and status don’t matter because of how badly you dorked up boarding. And the service quality has gone waaaaay down, with fun and cheery flight attendants being replaced by nasty, bossy cranks with bad attitudes.

It doesn’t have to be this way. You used to be the best. You should go back to doing the things that made Southwest different and great.

[Cardinals Live @Cardinals_Live_]

The first step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one - Busch Stadium is no longer Baseball Heaven. #STLCards

But I can be.

The Cardinals are no longer a prime destination for those who play between the white lines or for those who stand outside them holding a microphone.

St. Louis has become a stepping stone to the next gig, when it used to be the top rung of the ladder.

You came here, fell in love with the crowd and the team. Once you reached baseball heaven, you couldn’t leave.

Now, playing for or covering the team has no more prestige than Washington or Miami.

Over the past 10 years, baseball heaven, the BFIB, the St. Louis Cardinals......have eroded.

The truth is, WE played a role too. We quit coming.

It was the RIGHT thing to do, we HAD to send a message. We needed CHANGE, and I believe we hurt ownership and made them nervous.

Scratch that - based on what I’ve heard, we’ve 1000% made the DeWitts nervous.

Take a step-back, there are a ton of positives happening right now, and things that needed to be done are finally happening.

The DeWitts aren’t going cheap either.

If we're going to talk about this stuff - we must be honest about reality too.

They’re paying a significant amount of money to let Chaim reshape this roster.

The cheaper thing to do would be to keep the current players, let them play out their contracts, start a rebuild, and tank in 2–3 years.

Instead, they’re expediting it by eating the cash.

We should acknowledge it.

I understand they won’t be good next season, but I think we should go to the park anyway.

It’s time to send another message: We see you-keep going.

They’ve also said the right things-they’ll invest that money back into the roster when it’s time. If they’ll spend to trade a player just to leave (first time ever) they’ll most certainly spend to sign a new one.

I also know the DeWitts want a superstar, and they will pay for one when it’s time if they can’t draft one. They crave a SUPERSTAR.

They want to construct 90% of this roster homegrown, but 2–3 players will likely need to be added, and they’ll probably be highly paid. We’ve got to get the ship right.

So I’m going to acknowledge that the DeWitts have hurt this franchise, but I’m also going to acknowledge that the path we’re on now seems right-and I’m going to do that by buying a ticket.

That’s something I haven’t done in 2 years (I’ve gone down there 3 times in 2 years on company tickets, but not for myself or my family).

I recommend you all do the same, because now that we’re on the road, we must realize we ARE the gas, tires, and engine. It won’t get far without us.

I’m not naive; I know we won’t get back to top 10 in attendance this year. But I hope we’re prideful enough as a city and as fans to slowly tick up from last season-no matter the W’s or L’s or standings.

Let’s let them know: Hey, we’re still here, and we will be here if you keep playing your CARDS right.

It’s okay to remind them: If it takes too long, if you take us for granted again, or if you mess up -if you refuse to reinvest when it’s time, refuse to take that next step, add a player and stop there without going all in like what’s needed to compete-we’re gone again.

As we head into a lockout and lost season, this may be your last shot to enjoy Busch for a while-so go down and enjoy it.

Send a message: We are still the best fans in baseball. We can show up to put a powerhouse on the field. We are not a small-market team.

But make that message clear: Drive it right. This is your family’s last chance to make it right. We won’t buy in again.

It sucks now. Ruined a functional, efficient process. No reason to choose @SouthwestAir over other carriers anymore.
