Why do sitting members not understand how appropriations work?
You cannot take money from one area and give it to another.
The OBBB - which you didn’t vote for - gave money to the transportation department. This is an additional ask that I guess you’ve decided to not give because scoring political points is much more important to you.
You’ve literally controlled Congress for the past two years. And apparently, there’s always been money for vanity projects. But none to fix our air traffic control system?
Perhaps Trump should prioritize aviation safety over his pathetic Arch.

🚨 NOW: President Trump just dropped this truth nuke
“Some people worry about losing, I worry about not trying. I can explain a loss, I can’t explain to my people why I didn’t try!”
Highly Respected Senator John Kennedy, of Louisiana
👏🏻👏🏻
We have NOTHING TO LOSE by putting a new reconciliation bill to the floor which only needs 50+1 votes
The clock is ticking. Confirm and pass it all!
I guess BlueSky has completely crumbled because all the leftist crazies have come back.
In the last month or so, I’ve been insulted, my business threatened, put on X lists, etc.
You can’t even make simple observations or point out truths.
And to be fair, even people on the right are assholes if you question anything.

Literally no one cared. It wasn’t even an issue in the election.
And it’s rich considering she was one of the idiots pushing the hoax.
Marjorie Taylor Greene Says Trump Warned Epstein Files Could “Hurt” His ... youtube.com/live/GHHky6UhcjA… via @YouTube
Dude just had surgery because of lung cancer, something not afforded to people less fortunate, and decided to lecture others about doing exactly what he did.
I don’t begrudge anyone having these resources, it just reeks of hypocrisy.
Today, the promises of transhumanism and posthumanism are multiplying. These are ideological currents according to which, sooner or later, technology will eliminate all disease and pain, as well as aging and even death itself. Precisely because scientific progress is a supreme achievement of human intelligence, it must not be confused with a privilege reserved for millionaires seeking immortality, while entire peoples suffer from poverty and oppression. In the face of this mirage, which promotes the illusion of human beings perfected by cybernetics and biotechnology, Christian anthropology reminds us that a limitation is not a manufacturing defect, but rather the very condition of human grandeur. #ApostolicJourney #Peru #MagnificaHumanitas vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

The Trump Administration will not be extorted, intimidated, or bullied by unlawful subpoenas, especially those deployed to harass rather than advance any remotely legitimate legislative end.
The good thing is that since Republicans control the senate these radical bills won’t pass *and* they can use them to their advantage in 2028.
🚨 NOW: Texas Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa and Democrats are moving to GUT the Texas Heartbeat Act, meaning a lot of unborn children might be k*lled soon
THIS IS DEMONIC.
Hinojosa has called for ENDING Texas's abortion ban and "restoring access."
Days after Democrats flipped the Texas House, they filed HB 126 to REPEAL the Heartbeat Act, the 2022 trigger ban, AND the ban on child gender transitions
The new Democrat attorney general-elect also says he'll STOP suing out-of-state abortion pill providers.
The Republican state Senate is the LAST LINE of defense now
Texas Republicans CANNOT FOLD on this!

“$50 billion shake down”
I would think it hurt being this stupid, but she proves every day that it doesn’t.
$50 billion dollar shakedown so we can fly safely.
But wasting money on a ballroom, gaudy gold all over the WH, building some terrifying Arc filled with weapons, and bombing Iran is totally fine with Trump’s admin.
But fork over more money you pathetic peasants!
How about 🖕🖕🖕

Wait. So is she saying not to spend the money so planes can crash?
You need money to fix things. This isn’t gaslighting, it’s reality.
You can get mad for every stupid thing we spend money on, but having a meltdown over an actual decent thing to spend money on isn’t the way to go.
I’m literally blown away by the amount of people that fell for the total garbage that they got fed at that press conference yesterday.
If you’re an American, we as a country are in over $40 trillion in debt, have spent approximately $15 trillion in foreign countries and foreign wars over the past 25 years, and yet they have done shit updating our infrastructure that is literally falling apart.
And then they force all airplanes to stop yesterday creating chaos all over the country and fear among the American people sending them to the grocery stores buying emergency supplies and then they turn around and demand more money, $50 billion, and then lie at a press conference about what happened.
I don’t care who they are. I don’t care who you voted for, if you’re not pissed off then there is absolutely no help for you.
Yes, duh, we need to update our systems.
Yes, duh, it takes money to do that.
We, as Americans, pay $5.7 trillion a year in taxes, they have plenty of money to update all of our infrastructure all over the country if they actually gave a damn, they would do it.
But they don’t give a damn.
And if you’re living under some delusion that they do, then you’re beyond help.
Washington DC doesn’t work for you the American people no matter which party is in control.
They work for the big corporations and lobbyist, the big donors that fund their campaigns, and even foreign nations for foreign causes.
Wake up!
The American people are basically raped, robbed, and pillaged over and over again and if you continue to stay loyal to a political party like you are for your favorite sports team and excuse every single failure just because that’s your party, then you are not able to face truth and reality and nothing will ever change.
You get treated like crap because you take it and you continue to vote for it.
I’ve been to Washington. I know how it works.
The bullshit ends when you finally stand up for yourself and realize they’ve been lying to you all along and using you like a dirty rag and they have no intention of changing anything.

In April 2025, President Trump outlined the failures of Pete Buttigieg and the outdated FAA system.
Trump and Duffy have been demanding to get this system fixed for years.
"We have very obsolete equipment for air traffic controllers ... This Buttigieg did a horrible job. They wasted billions and billions of dollars," says @POTUS.
"A third-grade student would know it doesn't work ... We want to put a brand new air traffic control system in."
Right. As he’s the only one trying to fix a decades-old problem that everyone ignored. I guess the last guy going on maternity leave was an actual highlight for the job.
“War of choice”
Using a dumb Democrat talking point isn’t your best food forward.
Every war is a choice. But Iran started it.
And no, Iran wasn’t why. It was the excuse because they felt everything was too expensive. It’s the same thing when people blamed tariffs. It was a tangible excuse.
I’m not saying keeping the blockade didn’t keep gas prices high. I’m just saying people used these things because it’s what they believed.
The war of choice in Iran that we foolishly entered into at the urging of Netanyahu and Israel raised the cost of gasoline, diesel, fertilizer, groceries, and airfare, and it pushed up mortgage rates. At a time when American families were already struggling to get out from under the Biden inflation crisis, the war jacked up inflation and wiped out strong pre-war wage gains.
Sen. John Kennedy says you should “put down the crack pipe” if you think that’s why Republicans lost.
How clueless is the Republican establishment?
Follow the Vice President’s lead and ignore the out-of-touch establishment.

Where did I say all trans women are like this man? The point is that letting all trans-identified men into women’s spaces means letting men like him in - and I can send you evidence of many, many more who threaten violence if thwarted. We know not all men are violent. Some are.
Maybe you should learn that Congress controls the purse strings on such things.
Maybe you should ask why no one else even tried? What? You think this just started? It was also a mess under Biden. Even Trump 1.0., Obama, Bush…
Maybe we should spend more time fixing our air traffic control system and crumbling transportation infrastructure and less time building a ballroom or a giant arch.🤔

I hear having water turned on to fight fires that take out farmland.
I also hear not taking water away to save a tiny fish does wonders as well.
My administration is rolling out $81M in climate-smart projects to help more California farmers improve soil health and prepare for more frequent droughts.
We're backing the people who make us the top Ag state with proven tools to help keep farms productive for the long haul.

Why don’t @NBCNews employees know how the government works? How do they not know Congress has to approve the money? How did they not know that the OBBB had funds for modernization?
🚨 WOW! Sec. Sean Duffy just took ZERO BS from this NBC reporter
Q: Trump's been in office for almost 2 years. Why hasn't this been a bigger priority? Republicans control both chambers of Congress!
DUFFY: NBC? Maybe YOU haven't covered the hundred+ press conferences I've done and the president's pushed to GET THE MONEY. Congress has to give it to us! Often times you need a bipartisan vote — I think the question should be from NBC to every MEMBER, do you support actually modernizing, making a state-of-the-art air traffic control system? Every member of Congress should say yes. Every American would tell those members yes. Let them FINISH THE JOB.
Trump already secured $12.5 BILLION for the overhaul in the One Big Beautiful Bill, and Democrats voted against it.
Tonight Duffy asked Congress for $50 BILLION more to finish the job
