A few starter ideas:
Swiftly and immediately deport the illegals who are putting insane pressure on the housing market and public services.
Restrict guest worker visas for the same reason. No more H1Bs. Close the loopholes: no more TPS and limit refugees. Return middle income jobs to Americans.
Fix the healthcare marketplace, Obamacare has made healthcare insanely unaffordable and mandates that families purchase wildly expensive coverage.
Stop printing money and devaluing the currency.
Stop rewarding outsourcing and prioritizing every multinational in the tax code. Corporate carve outs are not “the free market at work.”
End the Iran war and stop Middle East adventuring so truckers can afford diesel again.
Build more market rate, single family homes that are not designated low income. This and home building generally is a local policy issue not so much a fed issue.
To the extent that childcare subsidies already exist, extend them to family member care provided in the home. Make home daycares available again (mostly local issue).

🚨 JUST IN: Rep. Mary Miller and a group of House Republicans are pushing HARD to spend the next 52 days having Congress CODIFY President Trump executive orders on the border, DOGE and more.
@RepMaryMiller: "There are radical communists JUST OUTSIDE THIS ROOM who are determined to dismantle our nation, who even campaigned on that promise! We face a choice, secure our victories or wave the white flag to the radical left. Surrender is not an option!"
"We have less than 52 days, less than 60 days, remaining in this Congress to codify all of our victories, and there's NO excuse for wasting a single day."
"My colleagues and I are requesting bold action before this Congress adjourns."

A) This is incorrect. Every stand alone measure defending women's sports and spaces passed, including in CO and WA. One amendment (primarily focused on abortion but also protecting kids from trans procedures) failed in Missouri.
B) His use of the phrase "anti-trans" to describe these measures only emboldens his opponents fighting for women and kids
CNN: Sarah McBride says “anti-trans politics was a flop" in midterms
Delaware Rep. Sarah McBride, the first transgender member of Congress, argued Monday that “anti-trans politics was a flop this election” after Republicans spent hundreds of millions of dollars on attack ads about transgender policies in the midterms.
“Republicans were once again employing a tired strategy as old as politics itself — to divide and misdirect the public’s attention, to tell them that their neighbor, their trans neighbor, their immigrant neighbor, was to blame for their challenges in life, rather than the wealthiest 1%”

The inability of an older generation of the GOP to acknowledge how consolidation, housing scarcity, inflation, limitless immigration (legal and illegal), AI, and other factors have made it structurally harder for younger generations to get ahead is going to be a source of tension on the right for years to come.
On the receiving end of some pretty wild verbal abuse for these comments simply acknowledging affordability IS an issue for many Americans, and buying a home IS harder for younger Americans than it used to be.
Socialism isn’t the answer. But if Republicans keep denying that these issues are real, they will keep losing… particularly with younger voters.

This is blatantly illegal. I hope someone with time and relevant qualifications, minus the illegal ones, applies and sues over this discrimination.
Colorado State Senator Iman Jodeh, who’s celebrated as the first muslim elected to the Colorado legislature, is advertising an internship program at the Colorado Capitol
Qualifications are you have to be muslim or north african.
This is illegal.

Now the ACLU (along with the WEA) is suing Washington state for its recently-passed ballot measure on women’s sports.
The last time the ACLU tried something like this, we got a resounding Supreme Court victory for women and girls. We’re ready. Game on.

Ole Miss is investigating a video of students making monkey noises and gestures in the hallway of an apartment complex. The incident, caught on a black resident’s Ring camera, has drawn public criticism. One of the students said she had not met the resident and did not know their race.
People are free to condemn, challenge, or reject expression they find offensive. But on free speech, public universities answer to the First Amendment, not public opinion. It’s hard to see how the students’ behavior could have violated lawful rules banning harassment or threats.
@OleMiss also promises students freedom of expression “without fear of retribution, intimidation or coercion.” It must honor that promise instead of abandoning it under public pressure. The duty to protect free expression matters most when calls for punishment grow loudest.
FIRE is contacting Ole Miss to remind the university of its obligations under the First Amendment. No disciplinary action may be based on a student’s protected expression.

We have an incoming United States Congressman who volunteered for an Al Qaeda front group and testified as a defense witness for a jihadist convicted in the plots tied to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
This man is a fifth columnist. His holding office in the United States government is exceptionally dangerous.
Insane exchange. Newly elected Democrat Adam Hamawy refuses to call Iran an adversary.
BROWN: Do you see Iran as the adversary?
HAMAWY: "We pushed them into a fight"
BROWN: But are they the adversary?
HAMAWY: "We should be making friends"
BROWN: They've been saying "death to America" for decades
HAMAWY: "We've been saying 'death to Iran'"
BROWN: They've killed a lot of Americans
HAMAWY: "And we've killed a lot of them"
BROWN: So you don't see Iran as an adversary?
HAMAWY: "I see that we are pushing Iran into a fight"

From @AFN_Network: "After a Democrat tsunami turned Texas blue, a conservative state lawmaker is urging the defeated Republican governor to call a special legislative session to peel back the executive authority he has warned about — and tried to stop — for several years.
The morning after the Democrat blue tsunami swept through the nation, including Texas, state Rep. Brian Harrison fired off an X post urging action. “I call on Gov. Abbott to IMMEDIATELY convene a special session to REIN IN EXECUTIVE EMERGENCY POWERS… before Gina Hinojosa is sworn in!” he wrote.
Hinojosa, a Democrat state representative, defeated Republican Gov. Abbott in the Tuesday election 56%-42%. She is now governor-elect in once-red Texas and will take office January 19, 2027.
What worries Rep. Harrison about that pending date, he wrote, is the emergency-related executive authority Hinojosa is set to inherit from Abbott as the next governor.
That authority comes from the Texas Government Code and is granted to the state governor during a state of emergency, such as a natural disaster.
Gov. Abbott himself used that authority to shut down schools and businesses, and impose criminal punishment, during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Rep. Harrison has proven he's familiar with that state law and its executive power. He introduced legislation, HB911, during the 2022 legislative session to curb the Governor’s executive power. His bill died in committee, however, when fellow Republicans refused to curb Gov. Abbott’s political power.
That executive power, Harrison warned this week, gives a Texas governor the authority to “modify laws, ignore laws, or create and enforce laws – including criminal laws – on a whim!”
Describing those executive powers on American Family Radio, Rep. Harrison told show host Jenna Ellis he’s not exaggerating when he compares them to a dictator’s authority.
“The Governor can write laws. He can delete laws. He can edit laws. I'm not making this up,” the GOP lawmaker insisted. “The governor of Texas can create a criminal law, and then prosecute somebody for violating the criminal law, that he wrote by executive action.”
AFN has learned it is true, under Section 418, there is a maximum $1,000 fine, or up to 180 days in jail, for “failure to comply” with the Texas governor’s emergency management plan.
It was under that authority, and Gov. Abbott's orders, that a Dallas salon owner was fined and sentenced to jail for defying Covid-19 lockdown orders.
Among her stated plans for The Lone Star State, Governor-elect Hinojosa has vowed to end school vouchers, and stop border wall construction, with the power of the Governor’s office.
As far as any hints of using her executive authority, Hinojosa has also vowed to she will declare a “high-cost emergency” after taking the oath of office.
“Within an hour of taking the oath of office, I will declare a high-cost emergency in the state of Texas and issue an emergency executive order to: one, suspend the gas and diesel tax; and two, freeze electricity rates,” Hinojosa told reporters during her gubernatorial campaign.
Aware of that comment, Rep. Harrison told Ellis the governor-elect has openly admitted she will start “meddling” with the state electricity markets as soon as she takes office.
“And I think that’s just the start,” he warned.
“Hey, Governor, the Democrats might have won elections two nights ago, but they weren't inaugurated two nights ago, and Governor Abbott is still the governor of the state of Texas. The legislature didn't change yet,” Harrison said.
As of Friday morning, Abbott has not responded to Rep. Harrison's plea to call a special session."

Vote on Hegseth impeachment is at 5:30pm today - I will not be voting to impeach.
The Iran war is through no fault of his own and he should not be the one scapegoated for it.
I fully support the changes Hegseth has made to the DoW to make our fighting force the very best it can be.

Some people have started sharing this clip again after talk of an amnesty deal with Dems started up again.
Worth a watch.
The disappointment on Charlie’s face after realizing whole industries have grown addicted to illegal labor is something I still think about a lot.
A few weeks before Charlie was killed, he gave a speech to a conference of roofers. He was shocked that a group which invited him to speak and largely voted Trump, was also hostile toward deportations. They felt their businesses needed illegals for cheap labor.
A couple of thoughts:
- We cannot be held hostage by industries that have grown addicted to low-wage illegals. It's a felony that undercuts American wages.
- I refuse to believe that Americans are unwilling or unable to do jobs like roofing. If you pay Americans a decent wage, the workers will come.
- If we are going to restore American sovereignty, and the rule of law, it will require sacrifice. These are relatively small in historical terms. Certian goods might cost more, even burritos!
This is the central question of our time: Are Americans tough enough or strong enough to take our medicine and save the country?

"If enforcing the law depends on our sympathy for those who break it, we no longer have the rule of law. We have a collection of suggestions subject to the whims of our emotions."
Trump is right. It’s hard to deport someone who has worked hard for 15 years and broken no laws beyond entering the country illegally.
I spent over a decade teaching in a community with many illegal immigrants and their children. I knew genuinely good people, wonderful families, and incredible kids. They weren't abstractions to me. They were people I cared about and wanted to see succeed.
I understand the emotional difficulty of enforcing immigration law. I've experienced it firsthand.
But there's a fundamental difference between judging an individual through the lens of personal experience and governing a nation through the rule of law.
It's easy to make exceptions when we're confronted with a sympathetic story. We see a hardworking father, a devoted mother, or an innocent child, and naturally want to spare them hardship.
But my personal feelings about those individuals cannot determine whether the law applies to them. Nor can anyone else's.
And with immigration, the consequences extend far beyond any individual case. We're deciding who may enter our country, remain here, and become part of our national community. If those decisions are ultimately determined by who manages to get here and whose story moves us most, the consent of the governed becomes increasingly meaningless.
The hardest cases are precisely when our principles matter most, because the entire purpose of having laws is to establish rules that transcend our individual sympathies, prejudices, and emotions.
If enforcing the law depends on our sympathy for those who break it, we no longer have the rule of law. We have a collection of suggestions subject to the whims of our emotions.

Jennifer Welch says her advertisers were "harassed" into dropping the show.
"Sadly, some of the advertisers have caved. But we still have other advertisers, and we're still standing."
Little companies are apparently stepping in to try to save them.
They read a message from a brewery in Wisconsin that called Charlie Kirk "an awful human being" and wanted to help sponsor the show.
Welch called that "so sweet," then did a shout out for the company for free.
At last count, around 30 sponsors have dropped the podcast.
It's not because they were harassed. It's because these women are toxic.
But hey if you're a little company, just drop these hateful hags a message bashing Charlie. Maybe that'll get you a free ad read.

Reading through Thomas Massie's articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth. There are 8 articles. Articles 1, 2, and 3 all accuse Hegseth of violating the War Powers Resolution by waging war in Iran. You might ask yourself: Did Pete Hegseth order US forces into action in Iran? I thought President Trump did that. That's a good question; from the very beginning, Hegseth appears to serve as a stand-in for Massie's real desire, which is to impeach Trump.
Article 4 is about the accidental hit on the Iranian school. Article 5 is about the drug boat attacks. Article 6 is about retaliating against Sen. Mark Kelly over the you-can-refuse-an-unlawful-order video. Article 7 is about the Venezuela attack and taking Nicolas Maduro into US custody. And Article 8 is about strikes against the Houthis in Yemen.
In all, Articles 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 8 are matters of the president's constitutional authority to wage war. If Massie wants to impeach somebody for those actions, the proper official to impeach is the president. Article 4 is about an accident by US forces in Iran. That leaves Article 6, the Mark Kelly matter, as the only issue for which Hegseth appears to bear some direct responsibility.
Massie is clearly pushing these articles because he is racing the clock against his own departure from Congress on January 3, having been defeated in a Republican primary in his home state of Kentucky. There is only so much time left to do damage, and with this BS impeachment, Massie is trying to make the most of it.
