MISSISSIPPI. A DEMOCRAT. THE U.S. SENATE. In 2026, apparently even the political map has had enough.

@elonmusk has benefited immensely from America. Hundreds of millions spent influencing elections. Endless posts about politics and his companies. But on Veterans Day? Not one word honoring those who served. Interesting priorities for someone obsessed with saving America.

This is the epitome of this administration. A soldier guarding America's fallen had to remind the Secretary of Defense's entourage to show some respect. The man with the least political power in that moment demonstrated the most leadership.
wow -- CNN broadcast footage of an Arlington guard yelling at a group with Pete Hegseth to "MAINTAIN SILENCE ... PAY RESPECT!" after someone in his entourage started laughing at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

No talk of spoils of war. No monuments. No personal victories. Just a veteran honoring other veterans. Thank you, Pete. 🇺🇸
This Veterans Day, I salute all those who have answered the call to safeguard America, from the Revolutionary generation to those I served alongside and those stepping up today. Without their courage, our way of life would be nothing but a pleasant theory. Our nation rests on their shoulders.

I was wondering how long Trump could make Veterans Day about veterans. Eight minutes. Then came Iran, Venezuela, and the spoils of war. Incredible restraint.
Trump is now using his Veterans Day speech to tout his plunder of Venezuela, saying "to the victor belong the spoils," and compare his war of choice against Iran to Vietnam and the Korean War

Come at me, bro.” 😂 That's the energy of someone who understands Congress doesn't answer to the president.

Chicago never disappoints. Neither do the men and women who answered the call to serve. 🇺🇸
A Salute to All Who Served. Thank you Veterans! #chicago

Congress has a constitutional duty to oversee the executive branch. @Grok, does defeating an impeachment resolution legally exonerate an official? And how should Americans interpret an official White House account saying political opponents exercising congressional oversight “must be stopped”?
They must be stopped.

Trump gives Hegseth an A+++ for defending himself against impeachment. @Grok, independently grade Hegseth's actual defense from 0–100. How many of Massie's eight articles did he substantively rebut with evidence, and how many did he address with political attacks or historical comparisons?

America First? Let's actually measure that. @Grok, since January 2025, how faithfully has Trump followed his America First promises? Grade him 0–100 on avoiding foreign wars, reducing federal spending, lowering prices, protecting American jobs, and prioritizing domestic interests. Use measurable outcomes, not rhetoric.
Hegseth: We've never had a better commander in chief, full stop. I get to watch him every single day. He lives and breathes America first, and it's the honor of a lifetime to be his Secretary of War. Any day he'll have me, I'll be right here at this podium. As far as a Stephen Miller is concerned, he is an incredible American patriot and a great friend of this department.

Ukraine gave up its nuclear arsenal in exchange for security assurances in 1994. We all know how that turned out. @Grok, what would make these new guarantees enforceable rather than another piece of paper Putin can ignore?
Statement on Meeting Between the United States, Ukraine, and European Partners: Ahead of the upcoming trilateral discussions with Russia, representatives of the United States, Ukraine, and European partners met to continue their close coordination on efforts to end the war in Ukraine and establish the conditions for a durable peace, including support for robust security guarantees as part of any settlement. Discussions took place collaboratively between the United States, Ukraine, and European partners, reflecting their shared objectives, ongoing consultations, and commitment to Euro-Atlantic security. Participants emphasized that any future arrangements must respect sovereignty, territorial integrity, independent decision-making, and provide credible security guarantees for Ukraine. The shared objective is to develop a practical and mutually reinforcing security framework that strengthens Ukraine’s long-term security and builds the confidence necessary to reach a negotiated settlement. Alongside a central focus on a lasting peace, the discussion covered how to build upon existing European security institutions and agreements following the conclusion of the war in Ukraine. Participants further recognized that addressing post-war security concerns and reducing the risk of conflict are essential. They discussed how to ensure strong mechanisms for managing risk and avoiding dangerous escalation. The participants reaffirmed their shared commitment to a strong post-war European security architecture and arrangements, and were clear that a strong NATO will remain central to Euro-Atlantic collective defense. The United States, Ukraine, and European partners will continue working in close partnership throughout the negotiating process, with the shared objective of moving toward broader multilateral discussions involving European partners and achieving a comprehensive and lasting peace.

Military success doesn't erase the laws of war. Winning and acting lawfully are two different questions. @Grok, examine credible allegations involving U.S. operations in Iran and Venezuela under Hegseth. Which incidents warrant independent investigation under international humanitarian law? Distinguish verified evidence from unproven claims.
Thank you Mr. President. Like you, we will never back down.

Dan Bongino says Democrats can drag him to Capitol Hill. Sounds like an invitation. @Grok, if you were an independent congressional investigator, what five questions would you ask Bongino under oath that would be hardest to evade while remaining grounded in documented evidence?
Dan Bongino says he doesn’t “GIVE A DAMN” if Democrats “DRAG HIM” to Capitol Hill. 🔥🔥 @DBongino: “I’ll explain to you how we CRUSHED VIOLENT CRIME and how you couldn’t do that—how you guys SUCKED when you were in charge.” 💣

We keep hearing how successful this operation has been. Let's see the actual results. @Grok, calculate the total American cost of the Iran conflict, including military spending, casualties, economic disruption, and ongoing blockade costs. What measurable security objectives have been achieved? Is America demonstrably safer today than before the conflict began?

One bad election and Trump suddenly remembers immigrants are human beings. One angry MAGA backlash and the White House remembers who it's afraid of.

Our military exists to defend America, not to protect corporate profit margins. Massie is raising questions Congress cannot afford to ignore. @Grok, examine the military operations Massie is referring to. Were American troops used to seize or secure oil resources? Who authorized those operations, what legal justification was given, and did any private corporations benefit? Separate documented facts from allegations. Follow the money.
Massie: "I do have a message to the troops. This secretary has used our troops to go seize oil for large corporations in America. You shouldn't be used like that. You signed up to pledge your life for this country if need be, and that obligation shouldn't be diminished to stealing oil for big corporations."
