Joining the Catholic Church is countercultural—it’s a rejection of relativism in favor of stability, tradition, and the truth.

Having spent the past year on this faith journey, I’m grateful to God for leading me home. I can truly say that it has changed my life in ways I never imagined.

I had the good fortune of sharing a few thoughts with @KatiePavlich on her @NewsNation show.

Praying for all the catechumens and candidates who are entering the church this weekend. Happy Easter!

John Thune after the SAVE America Act got 50 votes in the Senate:

“We don’t have the votes.”

John Thune after FISA 702 got 47 votes in the Senate:

“We’ll have to keep trying.”

Why the difference?

NEW: HHS notified 53 organizations, including several Planned Parenthood affiliates, that they will no longer receive taxpayer funds after pushing “sexually explicit” content on kids.

Planned Parenthood California Central Coast; Planned Parenthood of The Heartland Inc.; the Wisconsin Department of Health; the Maryland Department of Health; the Baltimore City Health Department; the Oklahoma City County Health Department; and more received letters saying their grants were terminated.

Many of the grantees used curricula that encouraged sexual activity as they presented on teen pregnancy prevention at schools, according to documents obtained by @DailySignal.

TRUMP ISN'T LETTING GO OF THE SAVE AMERICA ACT 🇺🇸

@TheElizMitchell says despite pressure from Senate Republicans to move on, Trump remains committed to the SAVE America Act. Election integrity remains a top priority for the conservative base and critical to advancing the GOP agenda.

"Faith built this country into the most exceptional nation in the history of the world."

President Trump highlights the role religion has played throughout American history, saying faith inspired the nation's founders, strengthened generations of Americans, and helped drive the movement to abolish slavery.

With the U.S. approaching its 250th anniversary, Trump says America has been rededicated as "one nation under God."

President Trump promised to carry out the largest deportation of illegal aliens in American history.

Voters sent him to Washington to get the job done.

That means deporting at least 1 MILLION this year.

[Mass Deportation Coalition @Phase2Deport]

"77 million Americans sent President Trump to the White House not just on the promise to secure the border... but the main problem in the United States is reversing the damage and preventing the problems that stem from illegal immigration. That means mass deportation."

The Senate is openly defying the will of the American people by refusing to pass the SAVE America Act.

Just glance at the Democratic Socialists of America platform and you’ll quickly see why this won’t end well.

77% of independent voters want Democrats to move to the center. And yet the party’s radical, left-wing extremists are nominating democratic socialists.

📺 We got to chat about Nixonmaxxing on CNN today. @AudieCornish even called the @nixonfoundation “very hip these days.”

I agree with JD Vance. Watergate wouldn’t have ended Nixon’s presidency if it happened today.

After all, Bill Clinton had sex with an intern in the Oval Office and Joe Biden’s staff used an autopen to govern.

@CNNThisMorning

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."

[Victoria Coates @VictoriaCoates]

One such strategy would be to pass the SAVE America Act? Just a thought.

[House Freedom Caucus @freedomcaucus]

Enough with the excuses, @SenateGOP.

“We don’t have the votes” is just code for “We don’t have the spine to fight.”

Bring the SAVE America Act to the floor and debate it.

How do you know you can’t win if you refuse to even try?

[Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell @TheElizMitchell]

Why Is President Trump So Committed to Passing the SAVE America Act?

“I think the president is appropriately focusing on building the coalition necessary to win in November,” @chiproytx told @DailySignal.

“I think he believes that if we get the SAVE America Act passed, then we hold the House, Senate, and White House for a long time,” a senior Senate GOP aide.

“President Trump had an election stolen from him in 2020—FULL STOP,” Steve Bannon told the Daily Signal. “It’s seared into his soul that elections will continue to be stolen until we pass SAVE America.”

@CletaMitchell of the Election Integrity Network said the president understands that the act “is not just another bill.”

The talking filibuster is neither foreign nor hostile to the Senate

It’s how the Senate historically worked

And a template for how it should function moving forward

[Rachel Bovard @rachelbovard]

Respectfully, we debated and dispatched with these arguments months ago.

1 and 2: Unlimited amendments” in a TF are the same as what happens in a budget and reconciliation vote-a-rama, which the Senate has done multiple times this year. Amendments offered during a TF can be tabled at 51, and tabled by voice unless a sufficient second is present. For context, the last unlimited amendment process in the Senate lasted 8 hours.

3: A quorum is maintained through senators registering their presence via a live quorum. It works like a vote. They come in, raise their hands, and leave. A quorum is then deemed present. Yes, the GOP would need to be around the floor to register their presence when summoned. But they do not need to sit on the floor constantly. Once a quorum is present, Dems need to speak or the vote happens automatically. Delaying a vote by making a speech is what a filibuster actually is.

4: Yes, this will take time, but the point is to force a negotiation. The physical pain of the process is what compels that. It’s how Mansfield started with 40 votes on the Civil Rights Act and ended up getting cloture at 67 after two months of forcing a talking filibuster. It forces a negotiation *that would never take place otherwise* by imposing a physical cost on continued obstruction.

4(a) But the modern Senate is so lazy that I think this would only last a week before some kind of compromise emerged, as long as the GOP didn’t fold first.

4(b) A big reason the TF is attractive as a strategy on the SAVE America Act is that it’s good politics. Voter ID is an 80% issue across party lines. It’s a walking campaign ad. I suspect if you asked the voters, this is what they’d like to see rather than attending yet other chicken dinner and listening to a bunch of talking points about things the Senate promises and then never does.

5: Voter ID/citizenship verification is worth doing regardless of implementation timing.

6: So drop mail-in ballots and do what has the support of 51 GOP senators, including Susan Collins: citizenship verification and voter ID (the House passed bill).

7: Yes, in the Senate outcomes are unpredictable (except when you’re a campus reporter predicting the demise of the SAVE America Act, they know everything, just ask them). The GOP would need to commit to tabling poison pill Dem amdts, just like they do when they vote against amendments fatal to the privilege in reconciliation. But maybe you do adopt some good amendments and the negotiated product gets cloture. That’s the goal. But you will NEVER GET THERE UNLESS YOU TRY.

8: There are opportunity costs for the two week recess the Senate just took and for its consistent 2.5 day work week - think of the judges that could have been confirmed! - but somehow no one ever raises those.

America was born from courage, conviction, duty, and faith in almighty God.

The first American heroes chose sacred honor over safe submission. They did not wait for permission from the powerful.

We must preserve their legacy.
