"Moody’s is essentially saying: We no longer believe you’ll course-correct in time." The states must litigate against Congress to enforce their #ArticleV power to propose a debt-limit amendment. @StopInflatingUS @RominaBoccia open.substack.com/pub/debtdi…

Thank you @SutherlandInst for having us and Senate Majority Leader Kirk Cullimore for leading the way on this constitutional reform to protect Utah from the corrosive influence of money in politics!

The bedrock of #federalism is state power under #ArticleV to propose constitutional amendments. State AGs now considering litigation to compel Congress to call a fiscal responsibility amendment convention. FFSF.us Whatever happened to federalism?: committeetounleashprosperity…

Fixing earmarks a good (unfortunately microscopic) start to defusing the debt bomb. ffsf.us. State AGs must litigate to defend state power to propose a debt limit amendment. Republicans are the earmarking party: committeetounleashprosperity…

Check out this 4-minute snip of FFFS.us Chair Dave Walker's testimony yesterday before the House Budget Committee, featuring Chairman @RepArrington terming it a "travesty" that Congress has not called the convention for proposing a fiscal responsibility amendment. youtube.com/watch?v=nC99owAs…

DOGE is greatly needed. But ... no Admin or Congress can bind a future Admin or Congress. Only a constitutional debt limit amendment can permanently constrain federal debt addiction. @StopInflatingUS
ELON MUSK: "The interest that we owe on our national debt is now higher than the defense budget. Over a trillion dollars and growing. The country is going to go bankrupt. That's why we need the Department of Government Efficiency. D.O.G.E on a brass plaque on a desk."

Don't feature token budget reductions. Make lean budgets permanent by adding a fiscal responsibility amendment to the US Constitution. @StopInflatingUS . End pay-to-play crony capitalism by adding a campaign money limits amendment. @usapromise

Note mention of fiscal repair as a candidate qualification. @StopInflatingUS
Senator Marco Rubio is expected to resign from the Senate to assume duties as Secretary of State when the Trump administration takes power on January 20th, creating a vacancy roughly two months from today. We have already received strong interest from several possible candidates, and we continue to gather names of additional candidates and conduct preliminary vetting. More extensive vetting and candidate interviews will be conducted over the next few weeks, with a selection likely made by the beginning of January. Florida deserves a Senator who will help President Trump deliver on his election mandate, be strong on immigration and border security, take on the entrenched bureaucracy and administrative state, reverse the nation’s fiscal decline, be animated by conservative principles, and has a proven record of results.
