BREAKING: Rep. Byron Donalds just went NUCLEAR on the US Senate failing to pass the Save America Act:
"The Senate SUCKS, I just want to come out and say that."
"If Bernie Sanders wants to hold the floor for six months, go ahead, let him. Swap out the depends, get some body armor, whatever you need, keep it going, because it demonstrates the stupidity of your argument, and that is what the American people want to see."
Now they're going on vacation until July 13th. Entirely unacceptable.
Jonathan Pettigrew was just murdered on a bus in NYC on his way to pick up his young daughter after asking a rider to lower the volume on the phone
Police and media are only identifying the suspect as a “teen with a white shirt”

My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us!
I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around.
I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it.
Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought.
We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!!
Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ??
Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity."
Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in.
When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided.
My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress.
Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country.
People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism.
Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism.
We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."
🚨 BREAKING OVERNIGHT: The SAVE America Act GOT 50 VOTES thanks to Sen. Susan Collins voting in favor of Mike Lee's amendment
THEY JUST PROVED IT CAN GET 51 VOTES, with JD Vance as a tie-breaker!
This version of the bill still contains voter ID and proof of citizenship 🔥
But it needed 60.
SO NO MORE EXCUSES! Nuke the filibuster.
Lee says this is the HOUSE-passed version of SAVE America, which still secures our elections to a VERY strong degree.
OMG
US attorney Bill Essayli reveals California lets people register to vote using:
-Gym memberships
-Employer ID card
-Credit or debit card
-Prescription drug label
-Insurance card
California is also BLOCKING a federal audit of voter rolls
They aren’t even trying to hide it
Let's recap the weekend:
-Billy Schmidt (a 22-year-old Penn State student) was murdered by two black men over a phone in South Philadelphia.
-Louis Erebia (a 56-year-old father of 5) was murdered by a black man with a long criminal history in Houston while trying to help recover a stolen truck.
-Six people were randomly stabbed at Penn Station in New York City by a homeless man in what police described as a senseless attack.
This isn’t “random violence”, it's preventable, and the direct result of left-wing policies that value criminals over citizens.
Republican Senators, for the love of God…
STOP POSTING.
You’ve been in the Senate Majority for 15 months. WE THE PEOPLE gave you everything. We gave you the House and Senate so YOU ALL would unite behind President Trump and tram through the entire America First agenda, confirm every nominee, and crush radical Democrat obstruction.
Instead, because YOU chose John Thune as Senate Leader, everything is stalled, watered down, and sabotaged.
We don’t need more tweets about what “needs to happen.”
You have the power. Use it. Pass the agenda.
Confirm the nominees.
Stop the radicals.
STOP POSTING AND ACT.
The American people are watching.
GOP RINOs, this is your official wake-up call and final notice!
Not a single one of you has dared to challenge @LeaderJohnThune
or his dirty pro forma sessions deliberately blocking President Trump’s recess appointments.
Your Senate seats are NOT lifetime entitlements or personal property. You were elected to serve We the People, not protect the swamp. Keep sitting on your hands like spineless traitors, and we will primary every last one of you out of office.
America First demands loyalty, not excuses. Step up or step aside. Your jobs are on the line. 🇺🇸
Last night, I made a simple request on X. I asked if anybody visiting Arlington National Cemetery for Memorial Day would stop by Alan’s grave and leave a photo for our family.
What happened next honestly caught me off guard.
By this afternoon, dozens of Americans from all walks of life had made the walk to Section 60 to visit SSG Alan W. Shaw. Veterans. Families. Complete strangers. People who had never met Alan, but chose to honor him anyway.
For one day on social media, people put aside the constant noise and negativity and came together for something bigger than themselves. My notifications filled with photos, kind messages, prayers, and stories from people honoring not just Alan, but so many of our fallen heroes.
I don’t think people fully understand what moments like this mean to Gold Star families. The fear is never just losing them. It’s losing them slowly over time as the world moves on and fewer people remember their name.
But today showed me that Alan will never be forgotten.
After years of watching social media reward some of the worst parts of humanity, today gave me a reminder that the good is still out there too.
Thank you to every single person who stopped by to visit Alan today, said his name, shared his story, or took a moment to honor the fallen.
This right here is the America Alan knew and loved enough to fight and die for.
And today, y’all showed us all that it’s still here and it’s still worth fighting for. 🇺🇸
🚨OH. MY. GOSH!!!!
After flash flooding in Bat Cave NC last night washed away driveways and roads...
...Western North Carolina hero Jake Jarvis, who has ALREADY worked over 550 days FOR FREE for victims of Hurricane Helene
IS CURRENTLY FIXING ROADS, BY HIMSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear United States Senators (all of you):
You are not royalty.
You are not the House of Lords.
You are politicians, meaning your profession enjoys a public reputation below Mafia lawyers and prostitutes.
You do not have an automatic lifetime tenure.
You work for us, the People. We don't work for you.
The sooner you figure all of this out the less painful it will be for you.
Love,
CP
Dear GOP,
I know I'm new to this movement.
I'm not anyone important, I'm just a regular voter who started paying attention.
...and I'm trying to figure out WHAT IN THE HELL is going on with you
Because honestly... I'm really confused.
From where I am, it looks like you're sitting on the EASIEST WINS IN MODERN POLITICAL HISTORY and for some reason... you just won't take them.
Why aren't you forcing daily votes on clean, single-issue bills that everyone already agrees on?
Mandatory voter ID.
Defunding fraud.
Defunding the Taliban.
Stuff that polls through the roof and the stuff normal people agree on.
Why aren't you at LEAST trying to win?
I don't understand.
Why are you betraying the same people who gave you a mandate... a few months ago???
Why are you still funding fraud?!
Why are you still funding NGOs that HATE conservatives?!
Why are some of you trying to push MASS AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS?!
I keep trying to assume there's some smart reason I just can't think of... some masterful long game
...but it doesn't look like a long game to me
It looks A HELL OF A LOT like corruption.
It looks like you'd rather lose comfortably than win for the America people, uncomfortably.
It looks like you're more scared of making Democrats a little sad, than you are of disappointing the people who put you in power.
I cannot for the life of me figure out how that math works in your favor... unless there's corruption at play.
You tell people like me to show up.
You have said things like...
Speak up!
Vote!
Donate!
Volunteer!
Bring our friends along!
AND WE HAVE!!!
BUT WE NEED YOU TO DO SOMETHING, ANYTHING AT ALL, FOR US.
Use the power that was JUST given to you and FORCE THE VOTES.
Make the other side go on the record OVER AND OVER.
Enforce the talking filibuster.
PASS THE SAVE ACT!!!
DEFUND THE TALIBAN.
STOP PUSHING MASS AMNESTY FOR ILLEGALS.
You won... would you PLEASE start acting like it?!
Because if you're not even going to try, I genuinely don't know what we're doing here.
Sincerely,
A brand new conservative who isn't going anywhere, but really, REALLY needs you to start fighting.
Democrats will nuke the filibuster and pack the Supreme Court as soon as they get the chance
Republicans in both chambers of Congress need to prepare for this and take steps to prevent it
If we nuke the filibuster now, we’ve got a chance to stop them
WE DON’T HAVE THE VOTES:
Senate Majority Leader Thune said they had a spirited debate on the SAVE America Act.
No, this is a fabrication — not once did he force democrats to speak against voter ID‼️
Thune said they don’t have the votes to nuke the filibuster.
👉If Leader Thune won’t give us the SAVE America Act, then DEFEAT his top 2 allies — Cassidy & Cornyn👈
Louisiana: 🗓️ Sat., May 16th
Texas: 🗓️ Tues., May 26th
This is false.
@LeaderJohnThune did not force a real talking filibuster that would have required Democrats to stand on the floor, speak for hours, and own their opposition to voter ID.
He brought the SAVE America Act to the floor as a box-checking exercise.
We can still pass it. A determined talking filibuster plus raw Senate Republican willpower can break the Democrats’ obstruction.
@SenateGOP: Get back on the bill. Make them talk. Hold the floor until they break or the American people see exactly who is blocking secure elections.
John Thune and the Senate GOP just spent an entire year treating the SAVE America Act — and basically every single bill the House sent over — like it was radioactive.
Constituents; "Pass it."
GOP Senate: Crickets.
Now they are emailing us - "can you send us $25 to keep the lights on."
Sorry Guys - you ghosted us for a whole year - and now you want date money? Nope. But I do give you the gold medal for Audacity!
No farmer is buying fertilizer today. They buy fertilizer in the fall after harvest.
You’d know this if you really represented farmers.
But you’re a city boy. Dems gerrymandered western mass to ensure farmers get an ignoramus to use them as props.
30 years in DC. Try harder.
