  • @lsferguson Report: 
  • Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune tried to talk President Trump out of endorsing against Bill Cassidy to no avail Cassidy voted to impeach Trump and has been very critical of RFK Jr Thune was in Baton Rouge campaigning for Cassidy last week. Thune is actively slow walking and obstructing President Trump.

  • If we've learned anything over the last few years, it's that securing our elections is crucial. I’m leading the SAVE Act with my good friend, @BasedMikeLee, to make sure only U.S. citizens get to vote in our elections. This is common sense. -@SenRickScott. America will die without secure elections.
  • Wait, 56 people died under ICE during the Obama admin?? Was I living under a rock? Cause I don't recall any riots over that back then... Great points. (video)
