This week the Idaho GOP put the elimination of property taxes into its platform. I moved the amendment on the convention floor, and the delegates adopted it by a standing vote. The platform now calls property tax "an inherently unjust tax." Not reduce. End it. #idleg
To donors:
“Pass the SAVE America Act”
To Fox News:
“Pass the SAVE America Act”
On talk radio:
“Pass the SAVE America Act”
At campaign rallies:
“Pass the SAVE America Act”
To Senate Republicans behind closed doors:
“Stop talking about the SAVE America Act”
Ask your senators the following:
Are you willing to dedicate weeks of uninterrupted debate time on the Senate floor—working through weekends and planned recesses—to pass the SAVE America Act?
It won’t be easy, but we won’t regret it.
I’m all in.
Who’s with me?
When a Democrat behaves like a Republican - the rest of the Democrats get rid of him.
When a Republican behaves like a Democrat - the rest of the Republicans make him their Senate Majority Leader.
Make it make sense!
.@Keir_Starmer, your statement says you have absolutely no tolerance for abhorrent scenes of violence like this on our streets.
With respect, tolerance is not the issue. Nobody tolerates a near beheading on a residential street in Belfast. The question your statement carefully avoids is prevention. And prevention requires honesty about a pattern your government has consistently refused to name.
A man in his thirties, a Somali national, pinned a man to the ground on a residential street and stabbed him repeatedly in the face and neck. Members of the public intervened with a hurling stick. A woman required hospital treatment for the stress of witnessing it. This happened in Northern Ireland, a place that has known more than its share of violence, and even there residents said they had never seen anything like it.
Your government has presided over record small boat crossings. It has failed to proscribe the IRGC despite repeated promises. It has blocked the grooming gang inquiry for a year before being forced to concede it. It has spent £10 billion on asylum accommodation contracts. It has actively resisted measures that would have reduced the number of unvetted individuals entering and remaining in this country.
The victims of these attacks are not statistics. They are British people, going about their lives on their own streets, who were failed before the attack happened. Failed at the border. Failed by a system that prioritises the rights of those who arrive illegally over the safety of those who were already here.
Your thoughts are with the victim. So are ours. The difference is that thoughts are not policy. Thoughts do not secure borders. Thoughts do not remove individuals with no right to be here. Thoughts do not protect the next victim, whose name we do not yet know, on a street we cannot yet identify, from an attack that has not yet happened.
How many more before the thoughts become action?
