‼️MY REACTION TO @McJuggerNuggets TURNING HIS ABORTION DECISION INTO CONTENT:

The one thing missing from the discussion was the person.
The child.
The human being at the center of it all.
And I couldn't stop thinking about something.
What would a person with Down syndrome think reading that tweet?

Having children is one of the most selfless acts a human being can undertake.
You are voluntarily accepting uncertainty.

The entire journey of parenthood is an exercise in loving someone whose future you cannot control.
That's the deal.

But somewhere along the way we've started treating children like consumer products.
We ask whether the child fits our plans.
Whether the child matches our expectations.
Whether the child will provide the experience we envisioned.
And when a diagnosis arrives that changes those expectations, the conversation often becomes about whether the child still meets the standard.
That isn't parenthood.
That's consumerism.

And then there is one final thing I can't shake.
The need to announce it.
Not to close friends.
Not to family.
To the entire world.
To a bunch of strangers online.
Maybe that's the part that disturbs me most.
Because we've entered a strange moment in our culture.
Every private experience must become content.
Every tragedy becomes a post.
Every intimate decision becomes engagement.
Every deeply personal moment becomes public consumption.
And I found myself wondering:
Was today the day that aborting your child became content?

As Christians, we believe every person is made in the image of God.
Every person.

Join me tonight in praying for both this couple, and the sweet soul that they sent to Heaven way too early.

Fun Fact: Ilhan Omar's father was a senior ranking Somali Military official - Colonel Nur Omar Mohamed.

Colonel Mohamed led the Isaaq genocide that massacred 200,000 civilians in Somaliland.

Maybe sit this one out @Ilhan.

I walked past a couple whose cart looked similar to mine and asked them if their in-laws were coming too. They burst out laughing and said yes. 🤣

Deeply honored that the United States Senate confirmed me tonight to serve as the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Manpower & Reserve Affairs.

I'm excited to soon serve our President, Secretary of War, Secretary of the Navy, and the American people.

America is worth defending!

@cvasut @realmitchlittle But you are OK with the unintentional but expected destruction of embryos?

[Jamie Story Kohlmann @jamiesue]

@realmitchlittle What are your proposals for “ethical “IVF practices? It seems a lot of Christians are just looking the other way from an industry that kills more babies than abortion every year.

[Jamie Story Kohlmann @jamiesue]

@cvasut @realmitchlittle It may not necessarily result in the destruction of an embryo every single time, but it DOES result in the destruction of embryos
- to the tune of more than 1 million a year. And you are OK with allowing that to continue?

[Jamie Story Kohlmann @jamiesue]

@sorlowski82 @realmitchlittle Bless him! Curious, were you and your friends able to take an ethical approach to IVF that did not result in surplus embryos?

[Jamie Story Kohlmann @jamiesue]

@callahan_red @caringguy1957 @Dapper_Det That says nothing about her being a Christian. And nothing I can find online does either.

[Jamie Story Kohlmann @jamiesue]

@caringguy1957 @Dapper_Det I don’t recall any actual Christians shooting up schools.

We call for their immediate release.

A while ago, probably in 2017, I appeared on Tucker Carlson's Fox show to talk about God knows what. Afterwards a name I barely knew sent me a DM on twitter and told me I did a great job. It was Charlie Kirk, and that moment of kindness began a friendship that lasted until today.

Charlie was fascinated by ideas and always willing to learn and change his mind. Like me, he was skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016. Like me, he came to see President Trump as the only figure capable of moving American politics away from the globalism that had dominated for our entire lives. When others were right, he learned from them. When he was right--as he usually was--he was generous. With Charlie, the attitude was never, "I told you so." But: "welcome."

Charlie was one of the first people I called when I thought about running for senate in early 2021. I was interested but skeptical there was a pathway. We talked through everything, from the strategy to the fundraising to the grassroots of the movement he knew so well. He introduced me to some of the people who would run my campaign and also to Donald Trump Jr. "Like his dad, he's misunderstood. He's extremely smart, and very much on our wavelength." Don took a call from me because Charlie asked him too.

Long before I ever committed (even in my mind) to running, Charlie had me speak to his donors at a TPUSA event. He walked me around the room and introduced me. He gave me honest feedback on my remarks. He had no reason to do this, no expectation that I'd go anywhere. I was polling, at that point, well below 5 percent. He did it because we were friends, and because he was a good man.

When I became the VP nominee--something Charlie advocated for both in public and private--Charlie was there for me. I was so glad to be part of the president's team, but candidly surprised by the effect it had on our family. Our kids, especially our oldest, struggled with the attention and the constant presence of the protective detail. I felt this acute sense of guilt, that I had conscripted my kids into this life without getting their permission. And Charlie was constantly calling and texting, checking on our family and offering guidance and prayers. Some of our most successful events were organized not by the campaign, but by TPUSA. He wasn't just a thinker, he was a doer, turning big ideas into bigger events with thousands of activists. And after every event, he would give me a big hug, tell me he was praying for me, and ask me what he could do. "You focus on Wisconsin," he'd tell me. "Arizona is in the bag." And it was.

Charlie genuinely believed in and loved Jesus Christ. He had a profound faith. We used to argue about Catholicism and Protestantism and who was right about minor doctrinal questions. Because he loved God, he wanted to understand him.

Someone else pointed out that Charlie died doing what he loved: discussing ideas. He would go into these hostile crowds and answer their questions. If it was a friendly crowd, and a progressive asked a question to jeers from the audience, he'd encourage his fans to calm down and let everyone speak. He exemplified a foundational virtue of our Republic: the willingness to speak openly and debate ideas.

Charlie had an uncanny ability to know when to push the envelope and when to be more conventional. I've seen people attack him for years for being wrong on this or that issue publicly, never realizing that privately he was working to broaden the scope of acceptable debate.

He was a great family man. I was talking to President Trump in the Oval Office today, and he said, "I know he was a very good friend of yours." I nodded silently, and President Trump observed that Charlie really loved his family. The president was right. Charlie was so proud of Erika and the two kids. He was so happy to be a father. And he felt such gratitude for having found a woman of God with whom he could build a family.

Charlie Kirk was a true friend. The kind of guy you could say something to and know it would always stay with him. I am on more than a few group chats with Charlie and people he introduced me to over the years. We celebrate weddings and babies, bust each other's chops, and mourn the loss of loved ones. We talk about politics and policy and sports and life. These group chats include people at the very highest level of our government. They trusted him, loved him, and knew he'd always have their backs. And because he was a true friend ,you could instinctively trust the people Charlie introduced you to. So much of the success we've had in this administration traces directly to Charlie's ability to organize and convene. He didn't just help us win in 2024, he helped us staff the entire government.

I was in a meeting in the West Wing when those group chats started lighting up with people telling Charlie they were praying for him. And that's how I learned the news that my friend had been shot. I prayed a lot over the next hour, as first good news and then bad trickled in.

God didn't answer those prayers, and that's OK. He had other plans. And now that Charlie is in heaven, I'll ask him to talk to big man directly on behalf of his family, his friends, and the country he loved so dearly.

You ran a good race, my friend.

We've got it from here.

So incredibly proud of my husBen for his service to our country and his willingness to serve in an even greater capacity upon Senate confirmation.

Also proud of our 3 kids for their good behavior during the hearing. I was nervous, but that Sunday church training came in handy!

[Ben Kohlmann 🇺🇸 @benkohlmann]

On Thursday, I was honored to testify before the Senate Armed Services Committee.

I am deeply grateful to President Trump for nominating me to be Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Manpower and Reserve Affairs.

In my testimony, I emphasized a straightforward message and something I deeply believe:

America is worth defending.

If confirmed, I look forward to working with Secretary Hegseth and Secretary Phelan to accelerate a culture of warfighting excellence and high standards within the Navy.

Thank you to Chairman Wicker, Ranking Member Reed, and the other distinguished members of the SASC for considering my nomination.

[Noah Wall @NoahWall]

I founded @RedStatesLead to tackle the epidemic of state governments captured by left wing activists. Today in @FDRLST I expose how your state government is being undermined by powerful organizations you’ve never heard of.

[Michael Lucci @Michael7ucci]

The Western Greco-Roman + Judeo-Christian moral framework has been wildly successful for millennia at achieving:

1) Survival
2) Flourishing
3) Happiness

One political party bases its entire moral outlook on rejecting all of this, root and stem. Then they end up unhappy.
