Adam Schiff says this ad is a "threat to our democracy" and wants it banned.

Do you agree

@MaryBowdenMD @AGJamesUthmeier My guess is if the State of Florida wants to pursue charges, it falls under some kind of conspiracy charge. The statute of limitations is longer and his pardon doesn’t cover any offense against a state.

When will someone cut this state off from Federal dollars? They can do whatever they want with their state funds.

Someday historians are going to look back and be astonished at the amount of absurd bullshit Americans took pride in believing during this era

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

My colleague from South Dakota suggests here that the talking filibuster hasn’t been used in a century, and that it was not used to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

He’s mistaken.

As I’ve explained to the entire Senate GOP on multiple occasions, the talking filibuster *was* used effectively to break the weeks-long filibuster mounted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Leader Thune and others point out that the Senate ultimately invoked cloture on the Civil Rights Act, and on that basis wrongly conclude that the talking filibuster was *not* the tool used to achieve that victory.

This argument ignores the fact that this is *how* the Senate closed a staggering 30-vote cloture deficit in 1964. After many weeks of fighting a losing battle, filibustering senators predictably started to lose their resolve to hold up the bill indefinitely, especially when they realized how hard they’d have to work to keep the effort alive.

So they started proposing and supporting amendments to the bill to make it more palatable and help them save face.

I still maintain that this is a viable approach that could work well—even better—in the context of the SAVE America Act, especially considering that the bill is less complicated and less controversial with voters than was the Civil Rights Act, and currently has a cloture deficit of only 10 votes—tiny compared to the 30-vote deficit faced by the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

My colleague also mistakenly suggests that Senate Republicans would have to vote to enforce the talking filibuster. That simply isn’t true; no vote is required for this step. All we need is a majority leader willing to announce that we’re getting on the bill and that we will continue to debate it until it passes—all with the understanding that if filibustering senators fail to show up to debate it, we can “call the question” and pass it with a simple majority.

That understanding, in turn, is what motivates the filibustering senators to show up and speak, but it’s also what naturally causes them to tire of the exercise after a few weeks, at which point they start looking for a face-saving off-ramp.

Finally, Leader Thune suggests that the talking filibuster would be thwarted by being “reset” every time Democrats offered an amendment. There’s a valid point in there, but it’s not a good reason not to invoke the talking filibuster. It appears he’s referring indirectly to paragraph 1(a) of Senate Rule 19 (the two-speech rule). While offering a new amendment can create a new question under longstanding practice, the September 25, 1986 precedent narrowed how rigidly the two-speech rule is applied by clarifying that many procedural actions do not count as speeches at all.

Particularly in light of that 1986 clarification, it’s been a long time since I’ve suggested we consider rigid enforcement of Rule 19’s two-speech limit as part of a talking filibuster strategy for the SAVE America Act. We don’t need it!

Nor was that rule aggressively enforced during the Senate’s consideration of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Majority Leader Mike Mansfield correctly focused on requiring actual debate from filibustering senators rather than looking for technical ways to shut the debate down.

To give credit where it’s due, I appreciate what Leader Thune said in this interview about the possibility of passing some iteration of SAVE America using budget reconciliation—a procedure in which there is no 60-vote cloture hurdle. I’ve been skeptical of this approach in the past, but I’m starting to believe the SAVE America Act has more budgetary features than I initially considered possible.

That said, reconciliation is fraught with all kinds of problems, challenges, risks, and uncertainties. Also, failure can be far too easy to blame on the parliamentarian.

I’m open to considering the reconciliation path, but we should make this decision with our eyes open. To do that, we need to separate fact from fiction when it comes to the talking filibuster.

Great point at the end! Thank you for always teaching the history of a movement & philosophy. 🙏🏽

[Glenn Beck @glennbeck]

Look at Europe right now: an Islamist attack in France and another in Germany by a convicted radical who was sentenced to "anti-extremism classes" instead of real prison. I have a serious question for the modern Left and especially the LGBTQ+ community: Why are you empowering and joining with radical Islamists who want your total destruction?

We’ve seen this movie before. In 1978, French philosopher Michel Foucault (who shaped many of the modern LGBTQ+ beliefs about sexual identity) championed the Iranian Revolution. He was warned that its Leftist-Islamist alliance wouldn't last, but he ignored it. He praised the revolution right up until the new Islamist regime started hanging gay men in the streets. And he spent the rest of his life refusing to admit he was wrong.

We have the historical receipts. But still, the modern Left chooses to ignore and look the other way, just like Foucault.

Xavier Becerra says he didn’t lose 85,000 migrant children.

He’s right… He lost 319,000.

Becerra turned the HHS into the LARGEST child trafficking operation in history.

They were cited for "Disorderly Conduct: Noise"

This CANNOT stand. This is a violation of the 1st Amendment.

The police who cited them should be fired.

I am not trying to scare people about the DSA but I would like to alert them to the seriousness of the problem.

These are not just communists. They are revolutionaries and not surprisingly their escalation happened after 2019. They were trained by Cuban revolutionaries and funded by Neville Singham and the CCP. Granted money is fungible so if you constantly move it in between 185 different NGOs it becomes harder to trace, which is the whole entire point.

But for our purposes, all we need to know is that the most radical communist ideology that exists is what is embedded within that group.

13/27 seats are a self identified Marxist-Leninist unity group.

Mohamud Hassan, the chairman of the Sincad political party in Somalia…

Also owns a healthcare company in Minnesota!

Of course

However, the address listed on his website doesn’t match his NPI address… super shady 🧐

These people are LITERALLY telling us they want to destroy the foundation of our Republic and democrats are welcoming them.

This is why I say democrats are useful idiots for people who want to harm or destroy our nation.

BREAKING: Becerra Migrant Child Abuse Camps

Whistleblower confirms Xavier Becerra dismantled vetting to speed up release of migrant children.

Kids sent to sex traffickers, abusive workplaces, fake relatives. “We were constantly getting information that was false, and we were supposed to go with it.”

Becerra 'lost' 319,000 children. 140,000 are still missing.

“Sometimes [the sponsor] didn’t know the name of the child.” “Children were sent to sponsors who provided a fraudulent form of identification.” “We still have no proof that the child went to that address.”

More “Becerra Tapes” to follow.

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

WOW 🚨 Muslim social studies teacher in Texas says that villainizing Islam in American schools isn’t going to work, she says Islam will take over America as the dominant religion

This is who is teaching American children, very clear mass indoctrination into being pro-Islam

“I'm going to say this straight up: the more you try to suppress and villainize Islam in the classroom, the more you are doing Islam a favor. Because right now, today, on the ground, Islam is the fastest growing religion in Texas, the United States, and in the world. Suppression doesn't shrink a faith, it spreads it. And you are proving that in real time”

She then does a Muslim prayer and prays to Allah

We need to mass depot Islam from America while we still can. Muslims have literally infiltrated the classrooms as teachers

Thank you @nytimes for your honest and accurate reporting. We must fight against the extremist religion of the car in question that caused it to plow into the LBTQ parade. Cars are born peaceful. They are self-radicalized online but vehicle extremists.

This is perfect example of what the left is today. Watch her just lie, when she has no clue what she’s talking about.

🚨 COMMUNITY NOTES JUST DESTROYED THE NEW YORK TIMES

NYT headline:
“A car plowed through a park during Berlin’s biggest LGBTQ Pride event…”

Community Note:
“The reality is, this was done by an Islamic terrorist. It was his choice, not the car’s.”

They tried to blame the vehicle.

X users forced the truth!

This is why the legacy media is losing.
