@ItsEthanRay They’re just openly chimping out on the Senate floor now… this has gotten out of hand

[Deep Leaks @DeepLeaksHQ]

BREAKING: Arizona lawmakers are now investigating Illegitimate Governor Katie Hobbs after $339 MILLION "disappeared."

Hobbs's budget director also mysteriously resigned yesterday.

State Senator Alex Kolodin issued notice to Hobbs stating, "Imagine my shock when the Legislature was informed the State has several insolvent agencies and requires a $339 million bailout to close out the current Fiscal Year. Since your liaisons dedicated to briefing members of the Legislature failed to provide detail on how we got here, I am putting my request in writing: Arizonans deserve to know the details. Why did you mislead the legislature about the spending you intended to approve? In just two weeks' time, I've learned that the problem has worsened and that your office's request is now $350 million!"

WHAT IS GOING ON IN ARIZONA?

[🇺🇸Kev @KevO4188]

They literally just voted against this like 3 weeks ago.

[Rep. Mary Miller @RepMaryMiller]

FYI: House & Senate Democrats voted AGAINST the Stop Insider Trading Act just months ago.

It’s foolish to try to gaslight Americans into believing Democrats are suddenly “champions of accountability.”

Where was all this outrage when Nancy Pelosi made MILLIONS in the stock market? 🤫

@RepRobertGarcia Talking about being hard about a vote is kinda weird…

[Andrew Follett @AndrewCFollett]

Notably, he explictly blocked this when Republicans proposed it before the election.

@RepJeffries Making Trump the POTUS who will be responsible for draining the swamp…

@Cheezydork74 He’s paid everything back with interest and you still want to tax him even more. Like the government giving you a loan should be a life-long leech if you end up successful. Only people who have no chance at being successful don’t understand this…

[Weekend Republican @TraderWeekend]

@andre_walton56 30% have taken steps to take care of themselves or put themselves in positions to not rely on government health care.

@SenAlexPadilla We need a pathway to citizenship for everyone that has done everything 100% right. If they haven’t, deport them.

🚨 WOW! Elon Musk FIRES BACK at every Senate and House Democrat planning to target him, saying he will GLADLY cancel any government contract — he doesn't NEED them anyway

"SpaceX contracts with the government are BOTH the best product AND the lowest price! Moreover government revenue will be less than 10% of SpaceX revenue this quarter and less then 5% a year from now. Happy to cancel any that the government doesn’t want. Just say the word!"

Honestly, pushing away Elon Musk is a HORRIBLE move from Dems! His products are incredible and benefit America 🇺🇸

This begs the question, why vote for the people that “wrecked” the economy and caused you all these problems in the first place? Over the people who failed to mop of 4 years of devastating problems in 2 years? Logic failed every 2024 voter in this election and we will be paying for it for years.

[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.

[Alexandru Fartade @KullAxel]

Now cosider that California ballots have a hole designed for blind people to be able to vote, but in reality you can seee from the outside of the ballot is for a Democrat governor or republican.

This is outrageous, people can literally load this ballots in a van, look at hole and decide what actually keep and what to trash. I’m not saying that this is what happened, I’m just saying this shouldn’t happen!!!

[Amy Reichert @amyforsandiego]

🚨 VERY IMPORTANT: DISTURBING REPORT FROM SAN DIEGO BALLOT DROP-OFF LOCATION

An eyewitness reports that the ballot drop box at the library on Voltaire Street was so full that voters were being turned away.

According to the witness, ballots were on the ground as election workers slowly emptied the overflowing box, filling TWO bags.

The witness says one worker then loaded the bags into an unmarked minivan.

When she began recording, an election worker allegedly told her to DELETE THE VIDEO.

She refused.

What’s funny about this is there isn’t equal food in both pictures, which is the reason socialism always destroys economies… you have to print lots of money to avoid recessions that leave plates empty… then your currency is worth nothing, after a while, and you either get ran over by another military or your government is over thrown from within.

@snowyxq1 The protestor was committing a crime, why’d you leave that part out?

[Weekend Republican @TraderWeekend]

@GavinNewsom Why are you against securing elections from illegals voting again?
