Watch this video.
Not just that. But the impeachment articles are about executing "unlawful orders."
But who issued these unlawful orders in the first place?
President Trump.
Why would Senate Republicans vote to remove Hegseth from office, but somehow not President Trump? It doesn't make sense.
Not only that, but even establishing a precedent for punishing "unlawful orders" is going to cause mass confusion inside the military and cause security defections.
This is seditious behavior by the @SenateGOP
2 years in the majority and you can't confirm these nominations then want to let Thune continue as the Party Leader?
Shame on you.
GOP deserved to lose.
The problem is that America does not deserve what the Democrats are about to do to us.
Already 20 + bills in place to take gun ownership rights away from Texans.

If Thune is elected by secret ballot to be the minority leader then the GOP is effectively dead.
How can they ever fund raise based on the record of having control of all three branches of government and not passing any significant legislation outside of the One, big beautiful Bill?
Approximately 700 bills died in the Senate, 100+ judicial appointments are dead in the Senate, and the save America act which is the most bipartisan supported piece of legislation with 80% plus approval ratings was not even brought up for a vote.
Thune is NOT a leader & is incapable of executing.
Is a pawn of special interest groups out to serve his own good.
I am sick and tired of casting my vote for a do nothing party.
He MUST be replaced or the GOP is cooked.
The curse of discipline is that every day looks the same.
The curse of indiscipline is that every year looks the same.
Choose wisely.

🚨 I call on Gov. Abbott to IMMEDIATELY convene a special session to REIN IN EXECUTIVE EMERGENCY POWERS… before Gina Hinojosa is sworn in!
Republicans lost last night, but Democrats were not sworn in.
We still have total power in Texas, and we must act like it by using the remaining ten weeks to restore separation of powers and limit the emergency powers that Governor-Elect Hinojosa is set to inherit, which would allow her to destroy liberty in Texas by executive fiat.
I’ve warned since I was first elected that NO governor, Republican or Democrat, should have unchecked emergency powers!
Now that Texas has elected a Democrat Governor, the urgency is undeniable… and inaction is intolerable.
Without action, Governor Hinojosa will inherit the powers of a DICTATOR.
Due to the absurd (and almost certainly unconstitutional) Texas emergency powers laws, Gov. Hinojosa will literally have the power to modify laws, ignore laws, or create and enforce laws – including criminal laws – on a whim!
Today is a day for ACTION, and bold leadership.
The Texas Legislature must immediately pass, and Governor Abbott must sign, legislation like HB911, which I filed in 2022 and warned at the time, that “Never ending emergency powers are antithetical to representative government and render people powerless. Legislative bodies allowing a single executive branch official to both write and enforce laws is the biggest threat to our constitutional system of divided government and should be opposed irrespective of which political party runs the executive branch.”
My legislation would protect liberty from executive fiat by, among other things, taking the following actions:
1. Prohibit the Governor from suspending or modifying statutes
2. Sunset emergency orders in 30 days if the legislature does not ratify the order
3. Prohibit the governor from reissuing emergency orders that expired or the legislature rejected
4. Require emergency orders to be narrowly tailored
5. Subject emergency orders to expedited judicial review
We have TEN WEEKS LEFT to protect Texas from near total Democrat rule.
I encourage every elected Republican in Texas to join my demand for Gov. Abbott to call a special session.
The future of liberty in America is literally on the line in Texas, and Texans deserve leadership that acts accordingly.

If John Thune is selected as the Senate Minority Leader, then we will all know exactly who in the senate is compromised by outside forces.
That vote needs to be made public on who votes for him.
P.S. - Thune needs to be primaried out of office in 2 years. @ScottPresler

The standard deduction for married people should be 125,000 and 50,000 for single.
Do this, declare victory over Iran, and introduce a new amendment to the constitution eliminating all corporate money from politics.
We would have an economic boom, a baby boom, and Trump will go down as an absolute Mount Rushmore president by being the person that eliminated corporate money from politics!
THE IRS JUST RELEASED THE NEW 2027 🇺🇸 TAX BRACKETS. HERE'S HOW THEY WORK IN PLAIN ENGLISH
Every bracket got a little bigger to keep up with inflation, so you can earn a bit more before moving into a higher rate.
Step 1: Take what you earn and subtract the standard deduction. That part isn't taxed at all.
- Single: $16,600
- Married: $33,200
Step 2: Whatever's left gets taxed in layers.
Single filers:
- 10% on your first $12,800
- 12% on income up to $52,025
- 22% up to $109,125
- 24% up to $208,325
- 32% up to $264,550
- 35% up to $661,375
- 37% on anything above that
Married couples: the cutoffs are roughly double ($25,600, $104,050, $218,250, $416,650, $529,100, $793,650).
Example: You're single and earn $76,600. Subtract $16,600 and you're taxed on $60,000.
- 10% on the first $12,800 = $1,280
- 12% on the next $39,225 = $4,707
- 22% on the last $7,975 = $1,755
Total: about $7,742 in federal income tax, or roughly 10% of what you earned.
Even though you're "in" the 22% bracket, only your last $7,975 gets taxed at 22%.
This needs to spread through the internet like a California wildfire!
Every Republican legislature in America should immediately pass legislation to:
1) Ban sanctuary cities
2) Ban Ranked Choice Voting
3) Ban ballot harvesting
4) Require citizenship to vote
5) Require photo ID to vote
6) Ban the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact
7) Ban foreign entities from buying property
8) Suspend any gas taxes
9) Institute school choice
10) Abolish property taxes
11) Open non-juror records to public inspection
12) Mandate secretaries of state to share complete voter registration rolls with DOJ
13) Mandate voter roll list maintenance
14) Offer rewards for convictions involving fraudulent use of Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, Social Security, or other entitlements
Republican governors would be wise to use this time to convene special sessions.

🚨🚨 THE DEMOCRACY FILES / THE INSURRECTION PLAYBOOK, SPECIAL EDITION: ON CROSSING THE RUBICON 🚨
Many people on 𝕏 are calling for elections to not to be certified, or for Trump to not to seat the new Congress on January 3rd.
In a sense, attributing 2026 results to cheating is too narrow of a way to look at a much larger and a much worse problem.
The problem isn't that machines decided to flip 15% of Republican votes and stole the 2026 midterms from us.
The problem is that our elections are untransparent, monopolized by mysterious NGOs, and set up institutionally such that they are impossible to challenge or audit honestly.
I wrote a book, UNELECTED. It lays out the whole NGO Administrative Complex and how they have monopolized virtually every facet of our ordinary society and perform functions through, above, and despite Congress. This is what they do. They cut off every single plausible path to their own reform.
The last two chapters explain my remedy, but I do not believe these chapters are easily approached without reading the other 300+ pages first. And I've had fans compare it to "A Brief History of Time" in complexity ... while I wouldn't go that far, it is an enormous problem with an enormous network that developed over an enormous amount of time.
The good news is that our anger at finding out about this, and our lashing out at all this is the epistemic bubble popping. Regimes don't last long after that.
The bad news is - to borrow a phrase my friend uses - there are many ways to lose, and few ways to preserve our Republic.
I'm not here to tell you that President Trump shouldn't use the 2026 elections to force a showdown.
I'm here to tell you what happens if he does. If he goes down this route, he better treat it like crossing the Rubicon.
Pray for peace and wisdom for the administration as they deal with the many difficult decisions ahead.
