Common sense over party loyalty. If it fails in real life, I am opposed to it. Views are my own.

You can always vote for Socialism/Communism.
You can never vote back to Democracy.

Republican Greg Murphy lost NC-3 by 293 votes, within recount range, and still congratulated Raymond Smith. Hillary called Trump an "illegitimate president" for years. Count every legal ballot by the rules, then accept the result. That's how grown-ups do it.

Prove it, @LeaderJohnThune and @SenateGOP:
1. Publish how every Republican voted for Senate leader. No more acclamation.
2. Publish the Senate calendar through Jan 2, 2027, with dates for votes on the SAVE Act and nominees.
No holidays until Jan 2. Talk is cheap. teapawt.net/LeaderJohnThune/status…
.@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.

Axios says Democrats plan to haul Trump's deportation officials before their new committees. Where were those hearings in 2021-2024, when millions crossed? Removing criminals is not a scandal. Voters gave you the House to lower bills, not to run a payback tour.

A "steady voice"? Republicans just lost at least 7 Senate seats and you call that serving us well. Senator, are you a RINO or just a go-along-to-get-along Republican? South Dakota sent you to fight for the SAVE Act and lower prices, not to applaud the same failed leadership. teapawt.net/SenatorRounds/status/2…
Congratulations to my friend @LeaderJohnThune on his reelection as Senate Republican leader. John is a trusted colleague and a steady voice, which has served our group well over the past two years as we’ve worked to advance our Republican agenda, and will continue to do so. Looking forward to continuing our work together as a team in the new Congress.

James Carville says Democrats want "to humiliate Trump" and watch him in "anguish and misery." That's the plan? Voters gave Democrats the House to lower groceries, gas and rent, not to run a revenge tour. Show us the bill that lowers a bill, or own the results in 2028.

Proud of what, Senator? You lost at least 7 seats. The SAVE Act stalled. Hawley asked what you did on gas and health care prices: "Nothing." Conservatives asked for one week to hear a plan and lost 31-15. Who are you listening to? Not the voters. teapawt.net/LeaderJohnThune/status…

Senate Republicans lost at least 7 seats, then kept Thune, Barrasso and Cotton by acclamation. Same team. Hawley asked what they did to lower gas and health care prices: "Nothing." Keep doing what you have been doing and you will keep getting what you got.

Rep. Ansari says people "down the chain at the Pentagon who carried out these orders need to be investigated." Democrats win the House and the first target is the troops? If you think the Iran war is illegal, hold the war-powers vote. Leave the people who followed orders alone.

The House Oversight Epstein report is out: 15 months, 19 depositions, and no evidence implicating Trump in Epstein's crimes. Jeffries and Schumer, your turn. Release a full accounting of every Democrat who took Epstein's or Weinstein's money, flights or favors.

Speaker Johnson says the House passed about 1,000 bills and nearly 700 are sitting untouched in the Senate. Republicans ran the Senate for two years. With under 60 days left, pick the ones that can pass, hold the votes, and stop going home early. Results over excuses.

Democrats dropped Swalwell fast in April once the assault allegations hit. But in 2020, after reports that suspected Chinese spy Fang Fang got close to him, Pelosi kept him on the Intelligence Committee. Accountability showed up only when he became a liability.

Wes Moore claimed a Bronze Star he hadn't received and wrote that he "led soldiers into combat in Afghanistan." His own Army supervisor says that's false. He was a staff officer. A Republican would be finished. Democrat voters: question your candidates, don't just check the D.

8-1 to let the Big Bend border wall move forward, and Justice Jackson was the lone no, with no explanation. Same justice who told the Senate she couldn't define "woman" because she's "not a biologist." Eight justices read the statute. One just says no.

Why keep John Thune as leader? He co-sponsored the SAVE Act, then refused the rules change to pass it. Seven GOP senators, including Rick Scott and Mike Lee, asked to delay today's vote. He's running unopposed anyway. Old establishment playbook. Voters just graded it.

October core inflation came in at 0.3%, hotter than the 0.2% forecast. That's the scoreboard families feel. The Senate just advanced the permitting bill 73-25 with 22 Democrats on board. Finish it before Jan. 3. Cheaper power and fuel beat any subpoena or leadership fight.

Credit where it's due: the Supreme Court voted 8-1 today to let border wall construction resume in Texas's Big Bend region after a lower court halted it. Build the stretches Border Patrol says matter most, treat local landowners fairly, and let results do the talking.

Schumer spent years calling shutdowns "harmful and unnecessary" and warning against poison pills. Now Democrats he leads are weighing a Dec. 11 shutdown fight over Iran. Troops, TSA lines and small businesses still pay first.

Sen. Gallego said a shutdown "does suck" and apologized for putting people through one. Now he wants to use the Dec. 11 funding deadline to force an end to the Iran war. Shutdown brinkmanship didn't stop hurting families because the cause changed.

Rep. Garcia called the Hunter Biden probe a "witch hunt." Now, as incoming Oversight chair, he tells the Trump family to "lawyer up" and talks about a "Trump crime family." Same committee power. Different last name. That's not oversight. That's a double standard.
