Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Crockett: He went from being the dork that was jumping around on stage to allegedly being this amazing genius that's gonna save a country he wasn't born in, and one that maybe he doesn't agree w/the idea of a democratic republic, considering the fact he may have been more on the side of apartheid.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as allude to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Treasury Department officials admitted today that the agency “mistakenly” and “briefly” gave a member of Musk’s DOGE team the power to alter a sensitive federal payments database. The disclosure undercuts the Trump administration’s repeated claims that access was limited to a “read-only” basis.

If Elon Musk is looking for wasteful government spending, he should start with Pete Hegseth. Hegseth approved a $49,000 ‘emergency’ paint job on his government home—while critical services are being cut. But sure, tell us more about fiscal responsibility. MORE: www.forbes.com/sites/antoni...

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

James Comer had 2 years to dig into all this supposed govt corruption that Musk is “discovering.” That’s what Oversight Committee is supposed to do. Instead, he spent 2 years on Hunter Biden - which resulted in nothing except a James Comer book deal.
