🚨📈📺 #RATINGS BOOST — NBC Sports announces that more than 2 million people tuned in for Nelly Korda’s win at the U.S. Women’s Open, resulting in a viewership increase of 78% compared to last year and delivering the 2nd largest Sunday audience for the event in the past decade.
Hello Senator Thune,
Let's expose what you're really doing with "reconciliation."
You announced it yesterday, eleven months after the House passed the SAVE America Act. You're not trying to pass this bill. You're trying to kill it in a way you can blame on process.
Here's how we know:
Reconciliation requires the Senate parliamentarian to rule that provisions are "budgetary." Citizenship verification is not budgetary. Photo ID mandates are not budgetary. The parliamentarian will gut the bill. Then you'll shrug and say "we tried." We see through you.
Meanwhile, you WON'T use the tools that actually work:
Rule XIX limits each senator to two speeches per legislative day. Keep the Senate in continuous session, file cloture daily, and the filibuster exhausts in ~12-20 days. You dismissed it as "complicated." Because if you tried and succeeded, you'd have to actually pass the bill.
Harry Reid nuked the filibuster in 2013 when he wanted results.
Mitch McConnell changed Senate rules THREE times and canceled the August recess.
Chuck Schumer used reconciliation within months on a 50-50 Senate.
You have 53 seats. You've changed nothing, canceled nothing, and waited eleven months.
Now let's talk donors:
• Goldman Sachs: $150K to you - top H-1B user
• Google: $75K - lobbies against E-Verify
• Meta: $72.5K - Zuckerberg's FWD[.]us pushes mass immigration
• Wells Fargo: $90K - banks undocumented immigrants
Same corporations sponsor Punchbowl News, where you sit for "Fly Out Days" which nobody watches except Congress staffers and K Street lobbyists who pays premium bucks for legislative intelligence. Their reporter then telegraphs to the audience the SAVE Act "will ultimately fail."
Corporate money flows to you AND to the outlet that frames your inaction as inevitable.
We see the loop.
You called grassroots anger a "paid influencer ecosystem." YOU are the paid influencer. You take the wrong side of a 80% issue because you are indistinguishable from a K Street mouthpiece, and an ineffective one to boot who won't bend the rules to get anything passed.
What we want:
1. Force a real talking filibuster.
2. Stop hiding behind process.
3. Pass the SAVE America Act.
YOU will become the reason that we will have our butts kicked in midterms. Not Candace Owens, not Nick Fuentes, not anyone else. You and you alone, and all because you want to make the 200 or so viewers of Punchbowl Fly Out Days happy. You're living in a K Street information bubble, addicted to the comforts and praises of lobbyists masquerading as journalists. You mistake the steak and martini dinners you get invited to as your own constituents.
You are not "moderate." The SAVE America Act has 98% support among Republicans. Name one other thing that has 98% support. You are an extreme minority who prides himself on being a calm leader, when in reality you are well in the running for the most ineffective Majority leader of all time.
Prove me wrong. Do the bare modicum of effort. Not symbolic. Actual effort. Cancel the recess. Get SAVE America Act passed.
Listening to them talk about what a good young talent Ludvig Aberg is at 26…and he definitely is… but a reminder that Tiger actually had completed the career grand slam…..at 24
🚨Taylor Swift has now the 3rd most expensive musical catalog of all time, estimated at $900 MILLION according to @Forbes.

My parents winter in Puerto Vallarta. Have for years.
They are currently barricaded in their condo, the military keeping rebels from entering their property.
They have food and power, and have taken in 2 women who were stranded.
The street below, usually buzzing with life, is silent, apart from the odd car that drives thru. Those people driving are not brave. They are stupid. They are surrounded by rebels, beaten, their cars lit on fire.
The Canadian consulate is unavailable. They are getting their information from social media and gov't websites. They are sheltering in place and say they are safe. They have not heard gunfire. We are praying the internet does not go dark.
Canada will not be saving my parents or any other Canadians
You can keep your elbows up, pay your excessive a taxes, mutilate your children, MAiD your elderly, bash America---and viciously mock their president because CBC told you to.
The reality is, when my parents come home safe, it will be by the grace of God and the determination and heroics of America. Canada won't do anything, because it can't
I've said it before, and I'll say it again:
God Blessed America ❤️🇺🇲
Flashback to when Obama went on Letterman a week after Benghazi to lie to America.
He blamed the Benghazi attack on a video instead of terrorism (even though he knew it was terrorism) so it wouldn’t hurt him in the upcoming election.
100% confirmed lie
Father dies at 81. $2.7M estate. Three adult kids.
He set up a trust in 1998. Never updated it.
Kids can't touch principal until age 65. They're currently 52, 49, and 46.
The trustee? His brother who died 6 years ago. Nobody caught it.
Now a bank is the successor trustee. Charging $36,400/year in fees.
The trust references his "wife" getting income. She died in 2015. He remarried in 2017.
His second wife gets nothing. The trust still pays his first wife's estate.
His 52-year-old daughter is a teacher. Makes $78K. Renting an apartment.
She gets $14K/year from the trust but can't access principal to buy a house.
The trust was written when his estate was $800K. Nobody adjusted for $2.7M.
"Dad was so careful about planning."
26 years ago. Tax laws have changed many times. His family changed twice.
He spent $5K on that trust in 1998. Never spent another dollar reviewing it.
Now his kids are paying attorneys $40K to petition the court for trust reformation.
The court might fix some of it. Decanting could help. But it's expensive, time-consuming, and not guaranteed.
They're not fighting over money. They're fighting a document written for a different family in a different tax code.
Your estate plan has an expiration date. Just because it's signed doesn't mean it still works.
Review your estate plan every few years and with any major life change (births, deaths, marriage, divorce) . Or pay for your kids to fix it in court later.
