No other success in the Senate

Can compensate

For failure to pass the SAVE America Act—NOW!!!

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

As of two days ago, the Pentagon recognizes every Christian faith in America as Christian

Except one

That’s not okay, and it needs to change—now

Pass it on if you agree

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

Read the Book of Mormon.

Cover to cover.

Pray about it, asking sincerely to know whether it’s true (the final chapter provides specific guidance on this point).

Then tell me whether Latter-day Saints believe in Jesus Christ.

Will you accept that challenge?

@RealJamesWoods All I could think was "don't feed her after midnight."

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

Are you tired of Democrats setting the agenda and getting their way even when Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House?

Tired of the “we don’t have 60 votes in the Senate” excuse?

Me too

It’s time to nuke the filibuster

Pass it on if you agree

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

If Democrats are hell bent on stalling SAVE America, we as Republicans have to get the job done on our own

Time to nuke the filibuster

Where do your senators stand on that?

@UtahAG Now do Beef...

[The Tabernacle Choir @TheTabChoir]

As the title track of the Tabernacle Choir's new album, Mack Wilberg’s “We Thank Thee, Lord, for This New Day” takes the form of a prayer of gratitude with lyrics written by David Warner. 

This short anthem was composed especially for The Tabernacle Choir’s return to live broadcasting in October 2021 after an extended pandemic-related hiatus. Wilberg’s musical setting illustrates both the sobering impact of that challenging period and the quiet hope engendered by a new day and a fresh start. 

The repetition of the same word at the start of each line—a rhetorical device known as “anaphora”— emphasizes the manner in which every morning can be celebrated as an opportunity for renewal.

"This New Day" will be released Friday, May 8th. Pre-save it now at: https://t.co/nnQTX9Vx3E

The Constitution isn’t a national suicide pact

It doesn’t compel us to encourage illegal immigration with universal birthright citizenship

@SenJohnCurtis I feel it would be better for your constituents, my fellow Utahns, to be in DC with @BasedMikeLee trying to get the filibuster fixed and the SAFE act passed. Your trip may have been a good purpose, but you've failed to read the room... unless you put John Thune ahead of Utah.

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

Please share if you agree that the Senate should not recess until it has (1) fully funded DHS, and (2) passed the SAVE America Act
