.@LeaderJohnThune, I hereby object to any effort to put the Senate into recess in August—at least until such time as the Senate has passed the SAVE America Act—and hereby request a roll call vote.

Do not assume you have my consent.

You do not. https://t.co/jyt1lvkmQu

Senator Mike Lee lays out the path to PASS The SAVE America Act After meeting with Trump at the Capitol:

'Floor Takeover'

Laura Ingraham and Sen. Mike Lee just hinted at a possible "floor takeover" tomorrow in the US Senate to get the Save America Act passed.

Condemning the US Catholic Bishops

As a Catholic, I’m embarrassed by this video. The Bishops never posted a video after Biden lost 300k children. They didn’t care that the Biden admin refused to vet “sponsors” or give DNA tests to prove they were related to the children. They didn’t care that no one answered the…

Schumer Blocks Dave McCormick From Senate Orientation

Schumer is not allowing @DaveMcCormickPA to participate in Senate orientation this week because Casey refuses to concede the race. What happened to all the demands that our leaders accept the outcome of the elections?

Senator-elect Dave McCormick won.

Chuck Schumer's shameful, election-denying decision to block McCormick from Senate orientation shows Schumer's true character.

Chuck Schumer is probably ticked off their plot to keep Republican candidates from winning in swing state elections didn't work in Pennsylvania. I guess that one was too big to rig.
Schumer is an election denier. He's a threat to democracy.

JUST IN: Senator Mike Lee has offered to “escort” into the Capitol Senator-elect Dave McCormick after Schumer banned him from orientation.

Bob Casey (D-Pa.) is refusing to concede the race.

Mitch McConnell: 'MAGA Movement Is Completely Wrong'

Mitch McConnell is the problem. He's part of the Swamp. He considers President Trump and his supporters enemies.

🧵 1. McConnell’s attacks on Donald Trump & Rick Scott are indefensible

3. The Senate Republican leader is supposed to help Republicans, not undermine them

CNN is doing all it can to assist floundering Kamala Harris. However, by pointing out that Mitch McConnell is anti-MAGA and anti-Trump, CNN serves to bolster the MAGA movement.
McConnell is the problem. Government as usual is the problem. He has to go.

SAVE Act

81% of Americans want ID verification to vote. It’s pretty straightforward.

You know, they think Obama, who like every other pussy Democrat has never said a single word about gun control, but they are very sure that he and his Negro army are coming after their guns.

----------------------------

"[F]or most of my lifetime, the United States was such a dominant economic power, we were such a large market, our industry, our technology, our manufacturing was so significant that we always met the rest of the world economically on our terms. And now, because of the incredible rise of India and China and Brazil and other countries, the United States remains the largest economic and the largest market but there’s real competition out there.

----------------------------

"It is a vital national security interest of the United States to reduce these conflicts because whether we like it or not, we remain a dominant military superpower, and when conflicts break out, one way or another we get pulled into them.

--BARACK OBAMA
