I choose to take a stand because we are endowed by our Creator that ALL men are created equal. And when my judgement day comes and I am asked, “What did you do for your fellow man?” I can answer unequivocally, “I am my brother’s keeper, I fought for him.”

After a midterm drubbing, the GOP promotes Jim Jordan—accused by former Ohio State wrestlers of ignoring sexual abuse. With Trump named in the Epstein files, protecting him still seems to be the priority. They learned nothing. #GOP

[Frank Luntz @FrankLuntz]

Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio will be the leader of House Republicans, following the end of Rep. Mike Johnson’s speakership.

What is the definition of "insane", again? Mike Lee is not right.

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

Republicans will never regain power by becoming more like Democrats.

We need bold colors.

No pale pastels.

[Stan Gottfredson @StanGott]

Hard to claim you’re for "limited government" and "states’ rights" while trying to pass a massive federal mandate on how states run their elections. @SenMikeLee’s support for the SAVE Act is pure constitutional gymnastics to justify DC overreach.

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

The formula remains the same:

(1) Put the SAVE America Act on the Senate floor.

(2) Require filibustering senators to speak, calling the vote at a simple-majority threshold when they stop speaking.

(3) Announce that debate will continue until it passes.

Nice win, Go Utes! #HolyWar

[SportsCenter @SportsCenter]

THEY ARE STORMING THE FIELD IN SALT LAKE CITY 🔥

The Utes win the Holy War and are 9-0 for the first time since 2008 😳

[Stan Gottfredson @StanGott]

The voters spoke loudly in the midterms. The GOP has lost the plot. Mike Lee your job is to return to principled conservatism and leave the criminal MAGA coalition to twist in the wind. Why do you care so little for those that elected you?

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

In the absence of an agreement between the Senate and White House about recess appointments, regular pro forma sessions are the norm in the modern Senate, with majority-party senators each taking turns presiding—even if we’d rather be doing actual work in session.

I’ve been in close contact with the White House in recent months on the issue, and have made clear that the moment the White House is ready to make a move in that direction, I will support them in supporting recess appointments and opposing pro forma sessions.

That moment has not yet arrived, but when it does I will step into action.

[Stan Gottfredson @StanGott]

GOP lost the Senate and Mike Lee lost his committee gavel. Delaying the GOP leadership vote won’t change the message voters sent. For a self-described constitutionalist, Lee seems remarkably reluctant to hold Trump and his own party to the standard he demands of Democrats.

[Mike Lee @SenMikeLee]

I’m with @SenRonJohnson.

We shouldn’t rush back into Senate leadership elections without having some hard, necessary conversations about how we move forward.

[Stan Gottfredson @StanGott]

Mike Lee, praising Stephen Miller is an endorsement of ICE’s draconian, fear-driven tactics. Coming on the heels of an electoral ass-whooping, it’s unconscionable. You’re not defending traditional conservatism. You’re making it indistinguishable from MAGA extremism.

[Mike Lee @SenMikeLee]

Stephen Miller has been a true conservative warrior since his days as a Senate staffer, a staunch defender of law and order against illegal invasions and leftist lawlessness, and a steadfast fighter for President Trump for over a decade. He will be an excellent White House Chief of Staff!

[Stan Gottfredson @StanGott]

Senator Lee, you lost because MAGA promised lower prices and no wars. Now you attack Democrats for demanding input on a permitting bill that risks weakening tribal protections. That’s oversight, not obstruction. You’re still “kicking against the pricks.”

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

After winning historic majorities by campaigning on affordability, the first House Democrats do is announce that they’ll be opposing the most pro-abundance legislation in decades.

[Stan Gottfredson @StanGott]

@BasedMikeLee I can’t wait for Mike Lee to get voted out in Jan 2029. The hate from real conservatives is real.

[Stan Gottfredson @StanGott]

@IslandPark2023 True

[Stan Gottfredson @StanGott]

Read the room, Mike Lee. You are a big part of what caused the takeover of the House and Senate. Your full throated support of corrupt leaders like Trump, Hegseth, Kennedy Jr, Bondi, Collins, Noem, Duffy, Lutnick, Bessent proves your moral compass is broken.

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

Socialism is incompatible with liberty—and our constitutional system

[Stan Gottfredson @StanGott]

@DHSGenCounsel United States v. Abrego Garcia — a prosecution dismissed as presumptively vindictive - Judge Waverly Crenshaw Jr. dismissed the human-smuggling indictment against Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He wrote, “The evidence before this Court sadly reflects an abuse of prosecuting power.” GFYS

[Stan Gottfredson @StanGott]

@DHSGenCounsel "Political shenanigans” is quite a charge from someone whose attacks on judges prompted an ethics complaint backed by 128 former judges. Congressional oversight IS governing. Protecting the homeland includes answering to the people elected to oversee you.

[Stan Gottfredson @StanGott]

@SecMullinDHS @ICEgov Read the room. The GOP continues to play circular Russian roulette.

[Stan Gottfredson @StanGott]

@RepFine Randy Fine clearly states he’s against freedom of speech unless it supports GOP’s high gas costs, inflation, voter right suppression, ICE violence and egregious grift by the president and cabinet members. #BreaktheCult

[Stan Gottfredson @StanGott]

@BasedMikeLee Mike Lee is a terrible Senator who is motivated by power and billionaire interests. He twists truth to separate rather than doing the hard work of effective legislation. Every tweet and sound bite are to that end. #GOPTOOL

[Stan Gottfredson @StanGott]

@ChuckGrassley Chuck, you’re not doing any favors for the farmers by carrying the water for the grifters that occupy the White House. Any moral ground you held has been washed away by thieves and pedo’s. America is sick of it!

[Stan Gottfredson @StanGott]

@BasedMikeLee I don’t like it either, Mike but to act like you are outraged and above it is hypocrisy personified. As you know, no laws were broken, it’s a standard GOP party practice and you have demeaned yourself to being the felonious presidents water carrier. Be best, Mike.

[Stan Gottfredson @StanGott]

@BasedMikeLee @SenDanSullivan Mike, you are a terrible disappointment. Your half truths and full throated endorsement of grifters, liars and convicted felons all at the expense of those who voted for you. What a legacy.
