After suffering the most significant loss in more than 50 years, will the Senate GOP really just keep everyone in place via a closed door, secret vote?
🚨 BREAKING: Republican Senators are about to take a SECRET BALLOT and possibly elect JOHN THUNE as the next Senate Minority Leader, despite a push to delay the race This means we have no way of knowing every senator voted for Thune Lawrence Jones' response is PURE TRUTH: "After what happened on Tuesday, why would they think that what they're doing currently is ACCEPTABLE to the voters? I mean, you've got to have some self-assessment and figure out what went WRONG." "And if the voters feel like you didn't deliver on the agenda and many of it died in the Senate, and you're gonna take that same leadership path, I think that's SUIC*DE RIGHT THERE!" Should not have tried to hold the election today, barely ONE WEEK after the shellacking in the midterms The focus should be Thune leading us to common sense legislation passage for 60 days straight!

The crazy part is that if democrats would become rabid defenders of the 2nd Amendment, they’d never lose an election again. They just can’t help themselves.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES: Texas Democrats just filed nearly 20 bills to impose SWEEPING new firearm restrictions — on the VERY FIRST DAY they could ‼️ Days after winning the Texas House and the governor's mansion for the first time in DECADES, they went STRAGIHT for Second Amendment rights They include: - SB 80: Ban on "assault weapons," including possession - HB 173 and others: FELONY to transfer many semiautomatic rifles to adults under 21 - HB 712: Lets cities and counties chip away at statewide gun protections - HB 613: Background checks on private gun sales - HB 659: Dealers must report people who buy multiple guns or magazines HB 218 would also repeal the 2025 Texas law that BANNED red flag orders. The only thing standing in the way right now is the Republican Texas Senate! HOLD THE LINE, PATRIOTS. THIS is what Democrat control looks like. Texas, you were warned. Turn red in the next election 🟥

The Buckeyes are finally having a bad season for the first time in 15 years…and Michigan fans can’t enjoy it for one second. That’s what Kyle Whittingham stole from you. SMH. He will never be forgiven for these crimes against humanity.

We’ve needed 5 to 6 parties for a long time now. I’ve been voting third-party since WMD and Iraq. Not sure why people are so late to this idea.
Thomas Massie just admitted it might be time for a “third party.” “The two-party system is an illusion.” “The lobbyists will just spend more time with whichever party ascends.” “They keep you distracted with fake food fights.” “In foreign policy, it’s hard for me to see a difference.” “The crime I committed, I started throwing real punches without regard for whose party you belong to.” Then, he opened up about his meeting his Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Joe Kent. “What did we talk about?” “Our concern about nuclear war.” “We spent a lot of time talking about this.” “Putin could get backed into a corner and use nuclear weapons.” “Or our own President could use nuclear weapons.” “I don’t think they even care up here.” “Do we need a third party?” “We’ve got six parties shoehorned into two.” “I think there could be room there.” @RepThomasMassie @WestonAPrice

Tonight’s outcome isn’t about placing faith in Democrats or socialist principles; it’s about holding Republicans accountable for betraying their promises. All Republicans had to do was: 1. put Americans First 2. not start another war 3. prosecute sex traffickers

Replying to @elonmusk
What’s coming was avoidable, but Republicans in Congress let Trump start a war, increase spending, arm a genocide, betray MAHA, and cover up for Epstein’s coconspirators. I was ousted with over $30 million of foreign lobby money for refusing to go along, and here we are.

Summed up perfectly. I’m not voting this year for the first time since 98. I vote religiously. Tonight will be the first death moan of MAGA.
Americans aren't choosing the democrats over the republicans tomorrow. Though the dems will win. Rather the GOP chose Israel over America so they will lose. Don't get it twisted. None of us really want the dems to win. We just want the GOP to suffer Stop being traitors or lose.

Not sure I could say this any better. My heart is broken in pieces. With a daughter in flight training right now this hits even harder.
🖤✈️ N722BD — Rest in Peace 🕊️ In my 35 years as an Air Traffic Controller, I have heard countless radio transmissions, including emergency calls. But listening to the recording of the Mayday call from this tragic flight in Florida was one of the most painful and heartbreaking moments I have ever experienced. Behind every Mayday call is a human being fighting for survival, a voice desperately hoping to make it home. As Air Traffic Controllers, we are trained to remain calm, focused, and professional during emergencies. But beneath our headsets and behind our radar screens, we are human too. And sometimes, a voice over the frequency touches our hearts in ways that words cannot describe. Today, my heart is heavy. My deepest condolences to the families, loved ones, and everyone affected by this tragedy. May all those who lost their lives rest in eternal peace. 🕊️ From one aviation professional, with 35 years of service, to the souls who never made it home. You will not be forgotten. 🖤
