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.

Please pray for the WV guardsmen and their families on this Thanksgiving eve. And the families of the 16,883 Americans killed by others, the 24,156 who killed themselves, the 31,801 injured, and the 1,438 kids < 18 killed by bullet. In one year.

Regardless of politics, we can all agree that competence and sobriety matter - particularly for the leadership of America’s armed forces. Pete Hegseth’s juvenile antics are an embarrassing affront to our great nation, our men and women in uniform, and to this Gold Star son.

How can so many members of Congress happily subsidize the financially secure (myself included) while essentially stripping 4-5 million vulnerable Americans of their ability to buy insurance? It makes no sense. How about ending the shutdown by finally agreeing to a national

As generous as the offer might be, the Pentagon mustn’t contribute to the impending irrelevance of the United States Constitution by accepting an anonymous $130 million check. The President and Congress must fund our military and pay our troops according to the provisions our

Mr. President: The White House is the peoples’ house, not yours. Unilaterally demolishing the entire East Wing without any discussion, deliberation, or notification is an affront to our country and Constitution.

Credit is due to the Trump Administration for inspiring the end of bloodshed in Israel and Gaza. Now the hard work begins to afford security and prosperity for Israelis and Palestinians, and may humanity emerge as the victor.

If you support Hamas and Oct 7, don’t believe the single Jewish-majority nation in the entire world has a right to exist, and deface a synagogue with hate, you’re a disgraceful anti-semite and it’s you who should be looking out.

I call out my party regularly. Any common sense MAGA folks willing to call out the Tylenol nonsense and snubbing Biden on the wall of presidential portraits?

President Trump committed to protect free speech, no matter how repulsive, and to prevent the weaponization of gov’t. The FCC v ABC dynamic isn’t cancel-culture, it’s anti-constitutional culture. https://t.co/ZGHUJAYvvZ

Patriots use words and will to make their case, not weapons. Political leaders and pundits on the right and left must prioritize debate or we’re headed for disaster. https://t.co/7Wg1nq4LWq

Enough already. These sick political assassins don’t represent the 99.99% of Democrats and Republicans who’d never kill a fellow American. As political “angertainers” litigate the killer’s views, there are likely 100’s of young Americans on the verge of committing the next

That’s 100% false. Vance Boelter was a Republican and Evangelical who killed Democrats by impersonating a police officer. But I don’t hold Republicans accountable for Boelter, I hold him accountable. Please don’t use your massive platform to misinform and further rip our

Actually, he did so publicly, but as usual that violence was caused by a democrat that actually worked for Democrat Governor Tim Waltz. Just figured since you guys will never put in the relevant details that I’d fill them in for everyone else. You’re welcome & do better!

Social media is radicalizing teens and cable news a.k.a “angertainment” is radicalizing adults. Americans can’t drive until 16, vote until 18, or consume alcohol until 21 (though most do). Is it time for a minimum age for social media? I’m beginning to believe it is.

My childhood pal and football teammate, Gordy Aamoth, was one of 2,983 son & daughters, husbands & wives, and brothers & sisters murdered on 9/11/01. Terrorism, be it foreign or home grown, is a scourge that can only be defeated by working together. So let’s stop attacking one

Charlie Kirk’s mission was to employ speech rather than bullets. May that mission be his legacy as we embrace his wife and children as they face the most unimaginable horror. To all fellow patriots on the right and left, LET’S UNITE by increasing our engagement with words while

It’s time for the President of The United States of America to make gun violence reduction his number one priority. Spending $1 trillion annually on “national defense” and losing tens of thousands of citizens to gun violence at the hands of fellow Americans is absurd.
