In 2024, Temulun Togochog told Congress she'd never met her family because of CCP repression. Today, she was arrested for threatening to kill a Jewish woman and attacking her in public, on camera.
🚨🚨 JUST NOW: Deranged Abdul Supporter tackled a Jewish girl (@basedinmalibu) at free speech event.
She was SWIFTLY arrested, resisted and then said “I SHOULD HAVE KILLED HER!!” As she was loaded into the police vehicle.

Standing on the side of what’s right will always prevail.
The baseless attacks against @PeteHegseth and today’s outcome should send a shot across the bow of every political leader willing to sacrifice principle for politics.
His unwavering refusal to back down in the face of political attacks or intimidation, and his willingness to stand up for our military and do what is right, should be an example to every American.
Honored to serve alongside the greatest @SecWar .
Hold the line.
The one thing I agree with Thune on, although there are loopholes 😉
🚨 JUST IN: Senate Leader John Thune STANDS BEHIND not nuking the filibuster because now we need it to block Democrat bills in the Senate
"This is the way the founders designed the Senate to work, exactly this way, to make it hard to do things, and the legislative filibuster protects minority rights. It gives the minority in the country a voice in our government, which now we are going to appreciate!"
We also could've done the TALKING FILIBUSTER nearly a YEAR ago to get these bills like SAVE America done.
It may give Dems more floor time but we could've burned up floor time and get to a simple majority!

Has Pete Hegseth committed impeachable crimes? The question is absurd and the answer is: obviously not.
Like so much of Congress, impeachment has become a ridiculous show that stands in for actual policymaking. Congress has so many tools for registering its policy disagreements. Rather than use them, they're going to try to impeach Pete Hegseth. They did the same to Donald Trump. Legislation is hard. Impeachments are easy (and ultimately, inconsequential).
The irony is that legislators are most angry at Pete on the issues where he's most correct: repositioning forces away from Europe/Ukraine and reorganizing the general officer corps.
This isn't about Iran, this is about the fact that Pete took on the bureaucracy at the Pentagon.

The Judges created this problem by accepting jurisdiction in direct contravention of the language of the INA.
Let them deal with it.
People like this are no better than Candace Owens.
This is what I believe happened in the 96 hours before, during and after Election Day. I have little insider information, this is just me connecting some dots. I could be wrong:
1. The Trump Administration knew it would be a wipeout.
2. The Vance team coordinated with Susie Wiles so there would be a concerted information campaign to blame the loss on Pete Hegseth because of Iran and to oust him, thereby clearing a JD Vance competitor from the field (plus maybe Rubio too).
3. Trump was unaware of this campaign, which included Susie scheduling a Saturday Camp David meeting with Vance/Susie loyalists with Trump out of town (that meeting got cancelled).
4. Vance dropped his "It wasn't me" X post on Wednesday morning (which directly blamed Trump's decisions but also impliedly blamed Hegseth and Rubio), but not before a whole bunch of people (me included) had already started backing Hegseth.
5. Hegseth himself dropped an info campaign that was clearly in anticipation of unfriendly folks in the admin trying to pin the loss on him.
6. It all came to a head in the Oval Office where Trump had to choose between Susie and Hegseth. Trump chose Hegseth and ousted Susie.
This is all conjecture on my part, but it feels right. I base my assessment in part on the fact that there were media people telling me that the Vance team was POd at my "Hegseth 2028" article and they tried to discredit me in the media as being paid by Hegseth to post that article (which is an absolute lie). (Note the similar attacks on Laura Loomer.)
Politics is a nasty, nasty business.
As you see efforts to impeach Hegseth in the days and weeks ahead because he does his job so well, please consider my theory.

A lot of people are hellbent on creating division where it doesn't exist, but the fact is there is ZERO DAYLIGHT between @POTUS and @VP on Iran — as @POTUS has repeatedly stated.
@POTUS (TODAY): "A lot of people didn't like his comments, but not me. He was right." 1/
Here’s what these leftists will never understand;
1) the “wwe-style ‘funeral’ you mention was a turning point style memorial, not a funeral. it was no different from any other turning point event besides the fact that one of your loons killed the leader.
2) saying she immediately weaponized his legacy to do a book tour shows me your ignorance. those appearances were booked well in advance by charlie himself. again, he was supposed to be on that book tour promoting his book, but again, one of your loons killed him.
no shade sister but you threw a WWE-style funeral for him and immediately weaponized his memory to do a book tour. people have struggled to take his death as seriously as conservatives forced us to because you all didn’t take it seriously either. i’m sorry

To see leftist podcasters, comedians, and commentators laugh about political assassination as though it’s entertainment and the destruction of a human life is a punchline, is beyond disgusting.
My husband, Charlie Kirk, was killed in an act of political violence, something our two children and I will live with every day for the rest of our lives.
A culture that laughs at assassination is one of profound moral decay. It threatens the very foundation of our country and the principles that hold our democracy together.
You do not have to agree with someone’s politics to recognize the value of their life. This should not be so hard.
Political violence must never be something this country tolerates, excuses, or celebrates.

And look how Dave Chappelle repaid him

Charlie’s vision for Turning Point Action was always bigger than one election. He wanted a permanent, year-round operation with the people, relationships, and resources to compete in every cycle. He knew there would be victories and setbacks because he had experienced both and that’s why he built for both.
Last night, we saw races Republicans once won handily by double digits come down to the thinnest of margins, and in some cases, flip entirely. Democratic socialist candidates made the cost of gas, groceries, and housing the center of their campaigns. And voters responded at the ballot box. A rising stock market doesn’t mean much when nearly half of Americans don’t have a 401K and just want to put gas in their trucks, put food on the table, and provide a good life for their families.
But every time socialism has tried it has failed, because socialism concentrates economic power in the hands of the government instead of trusting individuals to build prosperity for themselves and their families. That’s fundamentally at odds with the free enterprise, individual liberty, and opportunity at the heart of the American experiment. We can disagree with the solutions voters were offered while still recognizing why they were looking elsewhere for answers. Exit polls clearly showed that the American people are concerned about the state of the economy and the war in Iran. This isn’t a surprise to us because we’ve heard the same concerns from our students around the country for months and we’ve been concerned about it too.
The biggest mistake conservatives can make right now would be to allow this moment to become another exercise in finger-pointing, in-fighting, or trying to secure their own political preservation. That does not solve the problems the American people are demanding be solved.
Turning Point was born out of a moment just like this following the Obama era, which was itself a reaction to the political frustration of the early 2000’s. Our history reminds us that moments of disappointment can actually be moments of renewal and infinite opportunity.
Americans are not looking for labels and don’t subscribe to unquestioned party loyalty anymore either. They will support the candidates who can both speak to their concerns and deliver on what THEY need and dream about for their families. And those needs are the same as they have always been: an affordable home, safe communities, and the hope that the next generation will inherit a country with more opportunity than the last generation did. That is what the American dream has promised to all of us.
I miss Charlie so much every single day, but especially on a day like today. He always said that when things are going well, we need to stay humble. And when things aren’t going the way we want, we need to stay positive, keep our faith, and get back to work.
That’s exactly what we’re doing over at Turning Point today. We are going to listen, study the results, and spend the next two years making the case for how conservative, free market solutions, and a renewed focus on our country’s founding principles can address the problems the American people face. And we’re going to keep building the permanent infrastructure Charlie envisioned, strengthening our relationships in communities across the country, and preparing for 2028 and beyond.
If you woke up feeling discouraged today, there’s more important work to do than ever. Our principles haven’t changed and neither has our mission.
To every staff member, student, volunteer, and ballot chaser who gave their time and energy to this mission this cycle, thank you. I know Charlie would be unbelievably proud of each and every one of you, and I am, too.
Onward. 🇺🇸

One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"—whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up.
So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? "No," he told me. "We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us."
Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026.
There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasn’t sharp enough down the stretch. I’m sure that’s true.
But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone.
Another pollster—one of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday we’d lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were:
1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel
Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. While many spent Monday attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it turns out her political advice was sound. (She’s also a great person.)
In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcement—by focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance. But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you.
The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.
If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest.
But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.
I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, “I told you so”: you’re right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Let’s take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.

How incredible is it that we get to vote in the year America celebrates its 250th birthday?
250 years ago, our Founding Fathers had the courage and foresight to imagine a country where the people would have the power to shape their own future. They understood that a government accountable to its people, built on the principles of liberty and self-government, could give generations of Americans the opportunity to flourish.
This is your reminder that we live in the greatest country in the world. Not a perfect country, but the greatest. What a blessing it is to be alive during its 250th year, to call this country home, and to have the freedom and the right to vote.
Tomorrow is Election Day. Make our Founding Fathers proud by making sure you VOTE! 🇺🇸
