Union Station a few years ago was a place covered with tent cities, trash, and cracked out homeless people screaming at you as you left the station.
Turns out you can just remove the ugliness and squalor from your cities.
People outside of DC don’t realize what a transformation this is. Union Station used to be packed with drugged out zombies shambling around screaming at passersby, and barefoot, piss-soaked homeless people passed out on the floor. Columbus Circle right outside used to be a gross dead fountain surrounded by dirt and tents. That is what used to greet you when you stepped off the train. Now we have an entrance to our capital city befitting an empire.
Thank you to my friend @MarshaBlackburn for hosting me again this year at her policy summit on Capitol Hill - great event talking the major institutional overhaul we’ve made at the FBI to better serve Americans, our important work together to protect kids from online predators, advancements in using AI to triage intelligence and stay ahead of threats, and President Trump’s historic success in Memphis reducing crime by almost 50% and homicides by almost 40% through the Safe Streets Task Force and the FBI’s Operation VIPER. Thanks to Senator Blackburn, @SenatorHagerty, @GovBillLee and our Tennessee state and local partners for their great work with us.
Jim, republicans are following the laws and Constitution(s). Democrats are trying to get away with breaking both. They are being denied.

If you've "gotten coffee" at Tatte at all — like you've hovered in the waiting area for a wee bit of table space to open up in order to complain about it — you’re in a weird, out of touch, elite bubble.

We're excited to announce 'The Situation Room' by Polymarket is coming to Washington, D.C.
The world's first bar dedicated to monitoring the situation. 🧵
@MarshaBlackburn went from being my opponent, to my congressman, to my Senator, and my soon-to-be Governor. I look forward to working with her next year to #MakeMemphisMatter by making Memphis the safest city in America!
As I’ve said before, that was an ass-whoopin I ain’t forgotten yet!
Marsha’s the man!
‘Tis the season for deportations! To those who have illegally entered our country, there is still time to make it home for Christmas.

GOP TN Sen Blackburn on Fox on TN special election: Republicans are going to show up and Matt is going to win this.. the Democrat Party that has wasted a tremendous amount of money on this. But Matt Van Epps has a great background. He has been in the military. He served Governor Lee in his cabinet as the commissioner of general services and brought his business expertise and his understanding of how to execute a mission to save Tennessee taxpayers money. Now he wants to take that fighting spirit to DC to make certain that we focus on getting inflation down, lowering the cost of living, making certain that everyone has access to affordable health care and supporting President Trump, dealing with illegal immigration. Those are the things that people are wanting to see. And his opponent is a self-described radical who has bragged about bullying, chasing police and ICE officers and live streaming it. She does think men can have babies, that you ought to have boys in girls' sports. And she believes in transgender surgeries for minor children.
