I've been saying forever that Donald Trump's energy policy is to prioritize the interest of energy producers (high prices) over consumers (low prices). It appears he agrees with me.

Before he joined the Trump Administration, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent wrote that tariffs are inflationary.

When he testified last month, I reminded him of his words. No matter how much he tries to deny it now, the president’s tariffs make life more expensive.

Congratulations to Marco Rubio for making Profiles in Sycophancy, Chapter 23 by walking a mile in some random pair of oversized shoes so as to suck up to Dear Leader.

It's politics before policy. Leave you to decide whether good politics but that's all it is.

I’m incredibly proud to have recently secured over $11 million to address needs in our community. Federal investment is coming to every corner of the 6th Congressional District.

US official: ‘Not true’ Navy successfully escorted oil tanker through Strait of Hormuz Energy Secretary Chris Wright claimed in a now-deleted social media post that the Navy escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz.

And today's subsequent correction on his behalf, which sure looks like it was only done to try and manipulate oil markets. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Energy Secretary Chris Wright on President Trump's Plan to Lower Energy Prices (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit | by David Greyson Energy Secretary Chris Wright was on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream to discuss President Trump’s plan to lower energy prices.

Here's his initial denial of that self-evident truth: www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/03/ener...

Yesterday, Energy Secretary Wright said that I was wrong "on both counts" when I said that the WH had no plan going into the war with Iran and it's not surprising they also failed to account for the SPR. Then he lied about oil ships being escorted through Hormuz. I stand by my initial observation.

Effective immediately, I am the starting outside linebacker for the Bears. I am asking the clerk of the House of Representatives to have that reflected in the official roster. For administrative purposes, I will continue to serve as a Member of Congress and will not report to Bears training camp.

Indeed. I couldn't find any video online but there was an SNL skit years ago with Steve Martin, Garrett Morris and Gilda Radner as historians debating how WWII would have turned out differently if Eleanor Roosevelt could fly. Same intellectual rigor, but funnier.

What would the cost be if Rick Scott was a suicide bomber intent on destroying the US Capitol? That question, like Rick Scott's question here is not only dumb, but massively irresponsible to put forth as a justification for war and murder.

I'd respect him more if he just said "I don't want women or minorities or young people to vote". At least then he'd be honest about his intentions. But making up bad analogies doesn't make you a statesman. It makes you a liar.

...(b) that the % of non-citizens voting is a fraction of a percent of the % of underage people buying beer. Neither of those things are remotely true. Barrasso - like all Republicans - don't want citizens to vote who don't vote for them because their ideas aren't popular.

This is nonsense. The idea that you need a photo ID to buy beer so it's just common sense that you need one to vote is premised on a world where (a) every liquor store has a list of all eligible drinkers that they check off when you buy a beer and...

Fox News exists to make you stupid. If you don't think they're good at that, I'd invite you to spend time chatting with any of my colleagues who have Fox News on in their office all day.

I’m sorry, doing this in a baseball cap sold by your campaign store is deliberately disrespecting the dead.

Correction: he said that in July 2025. not 2026. So only took 4.5 years.

Tillis says he won't back any Trump nominees who express support for Jan. 6 The North Carolina senator is retiring when his term ends in 2027.

Look: this is good, and I hope he sticks to it. But finally deciding in 2026 that what happened on January 6 2021 was unacceptable is a little late. If you couldn’t figure that out on J6, we should be questioning your judgment before we celebrate your principle. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Tillis voted to confirm Noem, RFK Jr., Hegseth, Vought, Gabbard & Patel. He voted that Trump was not guilty after being impeached for January 6. Changing a pillowcase after you’ve fouled the whole bed doesn’t make you a hero.

Your periodic reminder that if you are an elected Republican in Washington you can get respect and national attention by VERY OCCASIONALLY not doing a terrible job. Tilis is on TV right now because he briefly did what Dems do all the time.
