As I bid farewell to Congress today, I depart more deeply in love with my country and more deeply disgusted by the dysfunction of our government. We can and must do better, and my mission to awaken America's exhausted majority and make common sense cool again is just beginning.

Portraying our former president and first lady as apes, antagonizing our allies across the globe, dismissing out of control cost of living, and trashing constitutional rights in our streets is not making America great. It’s making us an embarrassment.

COMMON GROUND: Our broken immigration system is a stain on both major political parties and leaders. I say that as a Democrat. The current crisis shouldn’t be an end point, rather a turning point — one where Americans of all political stripes prioritize reforms @deanbphillips

The immigration law enforcement crisis must not be an end point, rather a turning point for America. My op-ed on @FoxNews: https://t.co/iVkr8QpL8J

Tina Smith, Peggy Flanagan, and Tim Walz publicly trashed me for advocating for a competitive Democratic primary in 2024 - helping pave the path for Trump’s return. Judgment and courage matter to me, which is why I strongly support @AngieCraigMN !

Our Founders entrusted elections to states in our republic to prevent interference by a rogue president. I vehemently oppose Trump’s call to “nationalize the voting”. Do you?

So this guy mocked the Jewish faith of the US Attorney for Minnesota appointed by Donald J Trump last year. Who could have predicted it?

It’s common sense to deport undocumented criminals, and I encourage Gov. Walz, Mayor Frey, and all state and local officials throughout the country to cooperate with the federal gov’t to that end.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar has my complete and total endorsement for Governor of Minnesota!

Whether you support or disagree with Rep. Omar, at least she has the courage to host public town halls while the “tough guys” hide behind phones. #truth

Please watch this remarkable display of integrity and honor from former GOP candidate Chris Madel. The most truth you’ll hear from anyone. https://t.co/HMkJmx51b5

Glad the President has recognized the incompetence and lies of Kristi Noem. May Tim Walz and Tom Homan initiate a re-set with capable ICE leadership and adherence to our Constitution. Enforcing our immigration laws and protecting Americans’ rights are not mutually exclusive.

A leading GOP candidate for Minnesota governor (and good man) drops out of race. Says he cannot count himself a member of a political party that condones what’s happening in our community: https://t.co/m2GxVHEZr7

Rep. Davidson: States are not in open rebellion and the “insurgents” to whom you refer are working in cafes and roofing our homes, not overturning our elections by storming our Capitols. In Printz v. USA (1997), the Supreme Court ruled the federal gov’t cannot commandeer state &

Those in favor of executing American laws without executing Americans 🙋🏼‍♂️

Common sense: Enforcing immigration law and respecting Americans’ rights are not mutually exclusive - rather mutually mandatory. 🤝

Meanwhile, Politico reports the largest 20 DC lobbying firms reported growth of 10% or more vs 2024. In total, they brought in nearly $824 million. The swamp is alive, well, and flourishing.

This isn't something I like to talk about in public — the point of concealed carry is not to draw attention — but like many Americans, I carry everyday. The purpose of the second Amendment is the prevention of tyranny. What happened today was tyrannical, so I wrote about it. 🧵

The events in Minneapolis are incredibly disturbing. The credibility of ICE and DHS are at stake. There must be a full joint federal and state investigation. We can trust the American people with the truth.
