Earlier today, my colleagues and I were asked to grant unanimous consent to adjourn for the August State Work Period. I objected because I believe we need to stay and keep working.
In response to my objection, I secured an agreement to vote on adjournment, and I’m working with my colleagues to tee up votes on a number of matters prior to any recess, including the voter ID portion of the SAVE America Act, a continuing resolution to fund the government through December 11th, and confirmation of Todd Blanche as Attorney General. Those votes will likely start happening soon—in the next few hours.
Efforts to pass a budget resolution efforts will continue, and I will not stop pushing for election integrity measures to be included in them.
A few of my colleagues and I just finished a good conversation with President Trump, who agrees with and supports this approach.
I woke up and as I had my morning coffee, I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, something evil has invaded our nation, and our lives are never going to be the same.
I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life--so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone.
You can't justify this insanity. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind!
• If a man pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.
• Somehow it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.
• Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegals voting in our elections are good.
• It was cool for Joe Biden to "blackmail" the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquires about it.
• People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.
• People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees.
• Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.
• Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcome.
• $5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not.
• If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.
• People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.
• We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to us.
• Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.
• Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of THEIR rights.
• And pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us "racists"?!
Nothing makes sense anymore, no values, no morals, no civility and people are dying of a Chinese virus, but it racist to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China.
We are clearly living in an upside down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong, but killing innocent babies is right.
Wake up America, the great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, is taking on water, and is sinking fast. The choice is yours to make. What will it be? Time is short, make your choice wisely!
Feel free to copy and paste. I did.
Time for our government to wake up you either work with and for America or get the hell out .. we're tired of paying taxes and you incredibly selfish people don't give a damn for the people you work for... you should all be ashamed of yourself !!!!
Javier Mascherano on why Lionel Messi broke down in tears after the final whistle against Spain in the FIFA World Cup final.
🗣️ Javier Mascherano: “After the match, I went straight to Leo. I hugged him and didn’t say anything for a few seconds because I knew there were no words that could take away that pain. When he finally spoke to me, he said something that broke my heart.”
“He told me, ‘Jefe, these tears aren’t because we lost the World Cup. Of course losing hurts, but that’s not what’s breaking me. I’m crying because this might be the last time I ever wear the Argentina shirt. That’s the pain I can’t accept.’”
“When he said those words, I couldn’t hold back my own tears. People think footballers only cry because they lose trophies. They don’t understand. Sometimes you’re crying because you know a chapter of your life the most beautiful chapter is coming to an end.”
“I’ve known Leo for almost my entire career. I’ve seen him lift trophies, lose finals, face criticism and silence the world. But I’ve never seen him look the way he looked that night. It wasn’t the face of a man defeated by Spain. It was the face of a man saying goodbye to the jersey he loves more than anything.”
“He kept looking at the Argentina badge on his chest. He touched it, kissed it and whispered, ‘I gave you everything I had.’ There wasn’t a single person in that dressing room who could look at him without crying.”
“If that truly was his last match for Argentina, then the world didn’t witness the end of a football career it witnessed the final page of the greatest international story this sport has ever known. No trophy can measure what Lionel Messi gave to his country. He didn’t leave with just tears in his eyes; he left having given every last piece of his heart to Argentina.

Citizenship, voter ID — send it to Donald Trump's desk ASAP 🇺🇸
This was Messi's reaction after Egypt scored their second goal. Instead of panicking, he told his teammates to stay calm, never give up, and keep fighting with the same determination. Had it been another player who had just missed a penalty, he would have mentally checked out of the game.
But the exact opposite happened. Today, we witnessed arguably the greatest 20-minute spell of Messi's career. When he realized the center of the pitch was completely shut down, he drifted to the right wing and changed everything.
What followed completely transformed Argentina. Out of nowhere, he delivered an assist and then scored a goal that brought the Albiceleste back into the World Cup and sent his haters into shock.
This is what true leadership, composure, and mental strength look like.
• He’s won the World Cup already
• He’s broken every possible record existing at this World Cup as well.
Having this passion for the game even after all this explains why he’s being untouchable all through his career. 🐐🥹🫡
