This design is a disappointing landscape feature better suited to a hotel courtyard or mini golf course than a monument to the courageous men and women who fought and the lives lost to radical Islamic terrorism. There are American designers ready and willing to inspire their countrymen and honor those who served. Let’s start over and hire one of them.
The Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation (@GWOTMF) has released the design concept for the GWOT Memorial which will be built on the National Mall in Washington, DC. Full announcement video here: youtu.be/qMbJt0-hHNg

The thing that winds me up is how Elon has a trillion because he’s set up a system where he forcibly takes 40% of what hard working people produce, leverages it up as debt, spends it ineffectively and does dumb things to win the votes of millions of people who’ve become dependent on his handouts.

Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine. In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted. odni.gov/index.php/newsroom/…

Despite apocalyptic warnings from a deep state that wants unfettered domestic spying, FISA won’t cease protecting America even for years after it expires. We have time to agree on a warrant requirement to defend the privacy of American citizens and get FISA reauthorized.
FISA is set to expire today—but what does that mean for our national security and Americans’ privacy?🧵

Enter illegally? Pay the price. Hire illegally? Good luck.
Illegally crossing our borders is — in fact — ILLEGAL and has consequences. My new bill with @BasedMikeLee and @TimSheehyMT DOUBLES civil fines for illegal aliens and the businesses who hire them.   We WON’T allow hardworking Americans who follow the rules to get ripped off.

120-year-old red tape is suffocating America’s supply chain ports. 🚢🚢 I introduced deregulations today to stop the smothering and unleash American trade. Read the America-First fixes here⬇️⬇️

Joe Biden and Alejandro Mayorkas turned a blind eye to the largest child trafficking operation in American history. The open-borders, anti-ICE crowd will never acknowledge the human toll of illegal immigration.
“We found 146,000 kids so far. Some of these kids claimed that they were raped over 600 times. I don't care who you are. If you can't stand for law enforcement to go find these kids, who are you?” @SecMullinDHS

Yawn. The Democrat elite’s hatred of America is boring & predictable, unable to inspire themselves or anyone else, especially not young people. Let them cling bitterly. The rest of us will be celebrating 250 years of the greatest country on Earth. God bless America. 🇺🇸
The Nation has published a special edition for America 250 which, unsurprisingly, carries pieces like: "250 years of genocide, theft, and displacement" "The celebration of the nation's birth is a sham" "Shame" "The Bald Eagle perfectly embodies America's flaws" "America is due for a deep clean." "America is due a third Reconstruction." "Alexander Hamilton, the wrong founder."

Red card.
🚨HOLY CRAP: The Al-Shabaab Islamic terrorist group just put out a statement BACKING the Somali referee who was denied entree into the U.S.— they then slam the Trump admin and call on Somalis to “expel the invaders.” Looks like DHS made the right decision barring him from entering our country!

ActBlue accepted foreign money and donations under fake names. They knew about it and failed to stop it. And when we asked them about it, they all took the 5th.

It’s quite simple: include a warrant requirement protecting the 4th Amendment rights of American citizens from government spying, and we will reauthorize FISA immediately.
Thune on Johnson going to the WH: "The speaker is down there anyway for a bill signing, and I think hopefully we'll use the opportunity to make the case about why we need to do what's necessary to get FISA done before the deadline"

Another excellent standard set by the Trump administration. We cannot allow foreigners to treat U.S. citizenship like “stealing a base.”
Under President Trump, the State Department is defending the integrity of U.S. citizenship by ending illegal birth tourism schemes. No foreigner is permitted to obtain a visitor visa for the primary purpose of acquiring U.S. citizenship for a child by giving birth in the U.S.

I’ve got a bill for that.
EXCLUSIVE: Noncitizens in New Jersey were on the voter rolls for years — and some even cast ballots before asking to be removed, according to documents obtained through public records requests. Records reviewed by the NJGOP and RNC show multiple noncitizens seeking citizenship told election officials they were unknowingly registered to vote, with several pointing to the DMV as the source. Most had no voting history, but county records show at least some voted in elections before being removed from the rolls. The records were uncovered after Republicans requested voter roll data from all 21 New Jersey counties and are drawing renewed attention to how noncitizens were registered and what safeguards could be put in place to catch the errors sooner.

Disparate impact is yet another perverse conception of civil rights that pushes “good” discrimination to supposedly combat bad discrimination. It’s why I introduced the Restoring Equal Opportunity Act with @RepBrandonGill to ban disparate impact policies that incentivize racial hiring quotas, and why the @TheJusticeDept is right to reject them today.
🔥Hot off the presses: @TheJusticeDept issued an opinion today explaining that disparate-impact liability under federal employment law is *unconstitutional*. This is an earthquake in federal civil rights law. If right, this is the foundation to overturn that pernicious regime.

Americans want an H-1B pause, and they are going to get it, one way or another. Americans are tired of their country being used as a job bank for foreign nationals, their opportunities sold off to the lowest bidders.
A federal judge has struck down the Trump administration's $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas. apnews.com/article/h1b-visa-…

No FISA extension without reforms, period. The swamp’s spying on law-abiding Americans is a threat to ALL of our freedoms. Fix FISA. Get a warrant.

Woof!
Reminder: Last year, a woman in Orange County, CA was charged w/ felonies after she successfully registered her dog to vote in CA and casted multiple mail in ballots in the dog's name in CA elections. She was only caught because she turned herself in and her attorney said she wanted to "make a point". The dog's vote was successfully counted in the 2021 recall election of Governor Newsom, but the dog's ballot in the 2022 primary was rejected. Why the difference? According to the OC DA's office: "Proof of residence or identification is not required for citizens to register to vote in state elections nor is it required to cast a ballot in state elections. However, proof of residence and registration is required for first- time voters to vote in a federal election. As a result, the 2022 primary ballot cast in [the dog's] name was challenged and rejected." The woman, Laura Lee Yourex, has pleaded guilty and is awaiting sentencing. She has no prior criminal history. Prior to her arrest, she mockingly posted on social media that her dog, Maya Jean, had voted, and had continued receiving mail in ballots, posting photos of Maya Jean with her ballots.

Fraudsters take note: you aren’t immune to consequences after “touching base” by acquiring residency or citizenship under false pretenses. One day, you WILL be deported.
EXCLUSIVE: The Trump administration plans to announce it is seeking to revoke the citizenship of 17 U.S. citizens accused of immigration fraud, expanding its unprecedented denaturalization campaign, CBS News has exclusively learned. cbsn.ws/49LajBM
