Frankly, Republicans got off easy. A lesson was delivered on what happens when you stray too far from your base. Your base leaves. Now, the base must be won back. It's better to learn this lesson now than in 2028, when losing will give Democrats the Justice Department & the FBI.

The task of the next 2 years should be giving the base what it wants. Not the donors. The base.
Worth noting Republicans had a massive cash advantage over Democrats this midterm cycle. A 73% bigger war chest. They didn't lose to some well-funded political machine. They simply lost their own base.

Mike Lee is right. Stay in session. Cancel the vacation. Confirm all 135 of President Trump's nominees before Schumer gets the gavel in January. Every seat left empty is a gift to the Democrats. Thune, this one's on you.

Horrific news Michigan… Jihadist Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed believes in forced vaccinations… “Your right ends…where my face starts. Your right to choose not to get vaccinated ends where the breath that you're breathing…goes into my nostrils”

Will you hear me now, America!? "A 1,400-year-old war is being waged inside our country. Muhammad, the man Muslims call their Prophet, was a military commander whose mission was to bring the world under Islamic rule. That mission cannot be completed until America falls. Islam is a hostile totalitarian political ideology using our freedoms to destroy us. To every non-Muslim, it offers three choices: convert, submit, or die. It does not stop until every court, school, and government on earth is under Sharia. The Muslim Brotherhood turned this imperative into a modern conquest strategy. Two seized documents, the 1982 Project and the 1991 Explanatory Memorandum, detail their two-front plan: build parallel Islamic societies that reject assimilation, while their faithful capture our institutions. The Brotherhood wrote the playbook. Today every hostile Islamic regime and faction is executing it on our soil: Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey, Qatar, Pakistan, Hamas, and the Taliban. Different countries. Different sects. Marching in lockstep toward one conquest...."
The process of the US's collapse has accelerated.

So Steve Hilton lost to the guy who was in charge of keeping migrant children safe -- but lost over 400,000 of them? Do I have that right?

Replying to @LeaderJohnThune
No. You didn’t. You are absolutely 100% wrong. You did nothing of the sort. @NRSC Senate Republicans under YOUR “leadership” did nothing. Nothing. You had the chance to begin the process of saving our election system from the radical left. By passing the SAVE America Act. But K Street either didn’t care or opposed it. So why bother, right? Because the GOP Senate only does what can be monetized via those endless lobbyist dinners / fundraisers. If it can’t raise you money? Probably not worth doing. And you BERATED @BasedMikeLee for trying to get you to work full weeks, to try to pass the SAVE America Act. Or to work a weekend sometime. Or not to recess for weeks in March and then again recess for a month in August. You and your fellow GOP Senators told him that nobody cared about the SAVE America Act. That he needed to sit down and shut up. And the American people watched you, day after lazy, do-nothing day. And how you literally could not come up with a single idea to manage the Senate rules to get the bill passed. You just could not figure it out. Because you really didn’t and don’t care. And because you just are clueless. What’s all the fuss, you say. It’s not a big deal to you that our election system has been taken over and manipulated by the left. That aliens by the hundreds of thousands are on our voter rolls, that there are illegal votes by the thousands in the election results…and that it matters. It matters to the USA. But not to you @LeaderJohnThune So now, you don’t have to worry about it. You don’t have to be in charge of producing meaningful results for the American people. They just sent you to your room without any supper. I’m sure you must be relieved. You and your fellow GOP colleagues who just flat couldn’t be bothered to figure out how to save our elections. Well done, you. What a waste of space you’ve been as a leader. That term should never be applied to you or to your inner circle. Utterly disgusted by the lot of you. You did this. Tuesday was the Thune election. You own it. Hope you’re happy. @EIwatchdogs @seanmdav @EricLDaugh @elonmusk @realDonaldTrump @Bannons_WarRoom @greg_price11 @RealAmVoice

Much scapegoating for Iran is being pointed at SecWar Pete Hegseth in DC from members of the establishment that don't want themselves to fall under scrutiny Couple points: - No one has backed President Trump more loyally than Pete since Day 1 - Finding a new SecWar means rushing to get someone in the lame duck session OR needing to go through a Democrat Senate to confirm a new SecWar - Pete is popular with the rank and file of the military and his anti-DEI warrior ethos policies have led to a big recruiting surge for the US military, blowing out quotas Pete is a Patriot

What if America's election results are revealing something far more disturbing than who won or lost? What if they're revealing the spiritual condition of our nation? 🇺🇸⤵️ Americans are celebrating, complaining, arguing, and blaming one another over the elections. But there's a question almost nobody wants to ask: What if the leaders we elect are a reflection of the people we've become? Fr. Chad Ripperger, a Catholic priest, exorcist, and theologian, issued this sobering warning: “You get the leaders you deserve. The vast majority of Catholics are leading lives of grave sin.” We demand honesty from politicians while tolerating dishonesty in ourselves. We demand courage from our leaders while remaining silent about our faith. We demand morality from those in power while making excuses for our own sins. And Catholics aren't exempt. We complain about weak bishops, compromised priests, and politicians who abandon Christian principles. But how can we expect holy leadership when we're unwilling to pursue holiness ourselves? Dom Jean-Baptiste Chautard warned in The Soul of the Apostolate that when a priest is a saint, his people become fervent. When he's fervent, they become pious. When he's merely pious, they become decent. But when he's only decent, his people risk becoming godless. Sometimes the leaders a nation receives may even be a form of chastisement, calling its people back to repentance. But regardless of who won these elections, our newly elected leaders desperately need our prayers. Pray that God grants them wisdom, courage, humility, and the strength to defend truth, protect innocent life, and govern justly. Pray for their conversion where needed, and for the grace to resist corruption. And pray for ourselves, because America's spiritual renewal will never begin with an election alone. It begins with repentance, confession, prayer, and ordinary Catholics choosing holiness over compromise. We spend so much time asking God to give us better leaders. But what if God is asking us to become better people? 💬 So here's the question: Is America's greatest problem really the people we're electing, or the people we've become? Because elections can change who's in power, but only conversion can change hearts. And if you know a Catholic who's praying for a better America, this is the reminder we all need: Before we ask God to change Washington, we must allow Him to change the person staring back at us in the mirror.

That’s right. SECWAR Hegseth is my own red line.
🚨🚨DataRepublican Knows the Blackmail on Hegseth — and Just Declared Scorched Earth on Anyone Trying to Make Him the Midterm Scapegoat: DataRepublican just drew the line. Hegseth is not the scapegoat for the midterms. She knows the blackmail playbook and who is running it. The same forces that tried to sink him during confirmation are now pushing to make him the fall guy for a war Trump ordered and the military executed. Hegseth destroyed Iran’s military capacity. The chain of command is clear: civilian control. Blaming the SecDef for the decision to go in, or for the political fallout, is the setup. She’s a team player until they try to throw one of their own under the bus. Then it’s scorched earth. 🔥 #IstandwithDATAr 💣

🚨 NOW: Rep. Tim Burchett says Republicans should have PASSED his export control bill to lower gas prices up to -$1 per gallon overnight He also says a FULL stock trading bill should have been passed. "Why did Republicans lose? Two reasons, really. One's affordability...the other reason was you don't trust Congress, and it's for good reason, because it's infinitely broken and crooked, both parties." "We are crooked as a dog's leg...we just didn't keep our word. And that's what got us." Burchett says oil companies posted record profits from farmers and truckers, and his export-control bill could have knocked up to a dollar a gallon off overnight @timburchett is just fully genuine, speaks his mind and tells voters where he's at. I hope Governor-elect Marsha Blackburn appoints him to the Senate! He could be an ASSET ahead of 2028 🇺🇸

Every GOP strategist, consultant, and candidate should be forced to participate in a role-playing exercise this morning. Your name is Bob. You’re a 49-year-old blue-collar worker in Ohio. You’ve always struggled to make ends meet. The good jobs were all shipped to China and the few remaining pay a pittance wage, undercut by endless illegal labor. You’re a 3x Trump voter because you believed he would finally make America great again. You put your son through Ohio State. He graduated cum laude in computer science. You couldn’t have been prouder. After months searching, he landed an entry-level job at Microsoft. Beneath his qualifications, but a good start for a smart kid. Then he got laid off. That same month, Microsoft applied for 150,000 more H-1B visas because it can’t find qualified Americans. Your son has spent six months back in his childhood bedroom, sending hundreds of applications without landing an interview. On TV, Trump boasts about the greatest economy in history and how many women and minorities are finding jobs. You decide a father-son steak night might cheer him up. Gas is $4.50 a gallon. Filling your truck costs over $100. At Kroger, ribeyes are $30/lb. You settle for hamburger, even though 70/30 ground beef still costs $10+. At checkout, a fat black woman is screaming at the cashier because her EBT will only cover most of the filet mignon and lobster in her cart. You think to yourself how the Iran war has made everything expensive, but at least we’re stopping their nuclear bomb. You weren’t even sure where Iran was before you googled it after we first bombed them in March. After dinner, you take your son to the county fair. Half the people aren’t speaking English. Virtually none of the crowd looks like you. You’re forced to leave early after a “teen takeover” turns violent. A foreign born judge pledges none of them will go to jail. Back home, you turn on the TV. Vivek Ramaswamy is lecturing the crowd about American mediocrity and why Ohio needs more foreign talent. Your son grows upset. You change the channel. Now a Republican surrogate, the daughter of a governor or wife of an elderly billionaire, explains that young White men are the REAL welfare queens. They’d rather play videogames in their parents’ basements than work. Your son says nothing. He just goes back to his childhood bedroom. You turn off the TV. Then your neighbor starts blasting reggaeton and cracking open Modelos. He brought his cousin’s family from Mexico to help with all the minority-business contracts his construction firm keeps winning. Tonight they’re celebrating his nephew’s birth, the family’s first birthright American citizen. You sit alone in your living room. You worked hard, paid taxes, obeyed the law, and raised your son to do everything right. You voted Republican again and again because you believed somebody in Washington would finally fight for you. Instead, your wages are stagnant. Groceries are unaffordable. Your community is unrecognizable. Your country is fighting another foreign war. And upstairs, the son you sacrificed everything for is lying awake in the bedroom he slept in at twelve, wondering what the heck he’s even supposed to do with his life now. Every time you turn on the TV, the Republicans you elected are either congratulating themselves or explaining why you and your son are the problem. For ten years, they told you America’s future depended on your vote. Now you aren’t even sure America has a future worth defending. The Republican Party needs to answer one simple question this morning: You’ve spent a decade demanding Bob’s loyalty. You’ve given him stagnant wages, unaffordable groceries, another foreign war, and a son who did everything right but can’t find work. And when they complain, you call them lazy, entitled, and racist. What possible reason have you given Bob and his son to vote Republican? Do you honestly think you deserve their vote?

.@SteveDeaceShow walked into the studio today FIRED UP with a message every single American needs to hear after last night. WE NEED TO “AMERICA” EVEN HARDER: “Your job now is to America even harder… You will go to church Sunday harder… You’ll repent harder, you’ll pray harder. You’ll love your spouse harder… You’ll love your children harder. You will work harder. If you’re an activist, you will activate harder. You will tailgate this weekend harder, alright? You will Christmas harder; you will Thanksgiving harder. You will 'Merica even harder. That’s how we fight back… We don’t roll over. We don’t black pill. What you received last night was clarity. Now, often clarity sucks, but it can be energizing, mobilizing, clarifying. And we received that last night. And now we can only control what we can control, and what we can control is carrying and sharing our traditions and heritage and legacies as Americans even harder.”

NO YOU F’N DIDN’T… You are the BULK of the reason we got our ass kicked last night John…
Over the last two years, Senate Republicans have put up a strong record of accomplishment that’s created safer streets, more money in Americans’ pockets, and new opportunities for families and businesses to get ahead. After fighting Democrat obstruction at every turn, we prevented the largest tax hike in American history, secured our border in an unprecedented way, confirmed the president’s Cabinet at the fastest pace in two decades, and put strong conservative judges on benches across the country faster than we have since the Reagan administration. I’m proud of our team and everything we’ve done for the American people, and I’m looking forward to the important work we have in front of us over the next few months. As we head into 2027, Senate Republicans will not stand idly by as the far-left, socialist wing of the Democrat Party attempts to unwind everything we’ve done. Thankfully, we still have President Trump in the White House, and we’ll work with him to stop the worst impulses of Democrat extremism. We cannot let their fringe positions become the mainstream.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Gov. Ron DeSantis just BLEW UP and went on an America first RAMPAGE on national TV "I saw NO INDICATION that Republican senators were interested in doing conservative change! WHY haven't we done immigration, SHUT OFF H1B visas?! WHY haven't we CODIFIED Trump's immigration executive orders?! Why haven't we STRIPPED jurisdiction from the federal courts over deportation cases?! There's SO MANY THINGS we COULD HAVE DONE." "THEY DIDN'T EVEN ATTEMPT IT." "They say, 'oh, if only we needed 50 votes we would've done it!' YOU DON'T HAVE 50 VOTES. You NEVER SHOWED you'd do conservative things, even with 50 votes! [RE: filibuster]...I NEVER saw an indication that they'd do it." "This midterm was a rebuke of the president and Congress...BUT, a LOT of our voters stayed home because they were FRUSTRATED with the LACK of productivity from Republicans in the House and Senate." A fire was just lit under this man. Honestly have not seen him get that fired up in a LONG time We definitely deserved better from our Senate. Now, we need to repair and win in 2028, or Democrats are destroying America!
