I told you the dialectic would build
Full court press from GOP cucks for amnesty
Interesting that the VP warned this was coming

🚨🚨| James Gunn’s biggest mistakes that reportedly led to his firing:
• Killing Hal Jordan despite Kyle Chandler delivering one of the best performances in the DCU.
• Greenlighting a Jimmy Olsen sitcom instead of focusing on major DC characters.
• Introducing Gorilla Grodd without even having The Flash established makes it even worse.
• Making Supergirl the DCU’s second theatrical release when Superman hasn't even established the universe yet.
• Prioritising Creature Commandos Season 2 and a Poison Ivy series over major franchises like Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Arrow and Shazam.

It’s pretty insane that the entire Republican voting base has said, “we don’t want this guy. We don’t want this failed leadership.” And their arrogance and obstinacy is so great that they come out and tell us, “we don’t care what you want. We understand we’re supposed to represent your wishes, but we are going to spit in your face and do what we want anyway.”
Literally, the only constituency that the Senate Republicans have are each other and a handful of massive donors.
.@SenateGOP is committed to being here and doing whatever it takes to finish this legislative session strong and get as much done as we can for the American people.

Nikki Haley says deportations clearly went too far because big business is upset:
“Everyone saw that ICE overreached and what happened was it was too much. It wasn’t just going after criminals… all of sudden it was going into companies and they thought the overreach was there.”

Ratioed.
The Prime Minister of Haiti, Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, and the President of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, must ensure that all operations conducted by Salvadoran forces in Haiti comply with international human rights law.

Has Pete Hegseth committed impeachable crimes? The question is absurd and the answer is: obviously not.
Like so much of Congress, impeachment has become a ridiculous show that stands in for actual policymaking. Congress has so many tools for registering its policy disagreements. Rather than use them, they're going to try to impeach Pete Hegseth. They did the same to Donald Trump. Legislation is hard. Impeachments are easy (and ultimately, inconsequential).
The irony is that legislators are most angry at Pete on the issues where he's most correct: repositioning forces away from Europe/Ukraine and reorganizing the general officer corps.
This isn't about Iran, this is about the fact that Pete took on the bureaucracy at the Pentagon.

If he could ever succeed in being perceptive in non-malignant way, he’s such a broadcasting talent I suspect he’d overshadow many of the other figures currently bedeviling him.

If I haven't made it clear, I renounce all support I ever had for Massie and MTG
Many of you tried to warn me that I was falling for their grift, and I am sorry I did not believe you sooner
You were right and I was...less right

If Trump II had the economic and foreign policy of Trump I, combined with the immigration and DEI policy of Trump II, he would've gone down as the greatest president in history.
🚨Trump’s Border Wall Nears Completion
By the end of Trump’s second term, the Trump administration is on pace to complete 1,418 miles of primary steel bollard wall, 708 miles of secondary steel bollard wall in high-traffic areas, 536 miles of waterborne barriers, and 536 miles of Smart Wall technology coverage in areas with otherwise impassable terrain.
Most importantly, Trump’s new border wall is set to become a permanent feature along the United States’ southern border.
In California, Arizona and New Mexico, the wall sits on the Roosevelt Reservation, a 60-foot-wide strip of land owned by the federal government along the border. In Texas, the federal government has been acquiring private land through eminent domain. Once the government takes the title, the land stays federal.
And even if Democrats regain control of the federal government in the future, Trump’s border wall is set to remain in place. When construction was paused in 2021 under Joe Biden’s directive, the existing wall stayed up despite the Biden administration’s best legal efforts to take it down.
In essence, President Trump has not only illegal-alien-proofed the southern border, he’s Democrat-proofed it as well.

These sorts of pro-immigration arguments are actually a powerful argument against immigration
If even after three generations, the foreign derived population still identifies more with the label of immigrant than the label of American, then assimilation is a myth
I’m the grandson of an immigrant who came to America from Jalisco Mexico.
He changed the way we pronounced our family name.
Over time, the culture disappeared. The language evaporated. The stories were forgotten.
No immigrant should have to feel like they need to lose their culture in order to become more American.

Thom Tillis is constitutionally illiterate. The entire point of our system is that impeachment is supposed to have a higher bar: we don't do "no confidence" votes. This isn't a parliament. There need to be actual high crimes and misdemeanors.
Everyone’s got two years to make their case.
And I want everyone (yes everyone) who thinks they could be president to run for president in 2028. Duke it out, fight for their respective positions and earn our vote. No more coronations.
By the way, Vance ideologically wise is the candidate I'm closest to in 2028. But due to his associations with Trump, he is most likely unelectable in a general, which is the #1 determining factor for whom gets my support for the nomination.

“For every eight guys who retire in this trade, only one guy picks it up. The whole industry is in danger.”
“Wow. Would you hire me? I’d love to learn it.”
“Absolutely not.”

kind of horrific that any random Republican voter knows that Senate failure is a big contributor to the election loss but the “Senate majority leader” does not.
INSIDE THE ROOM: Thune tussled with Ron Johnson at one point ahead of the vote on delaying the leadership elections.
Thune interjected to suggest there wasn’t anything he could have done differently during the campaign — “I defy you all to name something I could have done differently,” Thune said, per sources in the room
Thune also said “tell me what I should have done differently” that would have mitigated the GOP losses
