Maybe Republicans shouldn’t take political advice from people criticizing certain presidential aspirants by saying they have no chance to win after those same people spent the last 7 years unapologetically cheering for the guy who led them to 3 straight bad election cycles.

This is phenomenal from . Ensures that government works for taxpayers - not political groups, that teachers don’t have money deducted from their paychecks for causes they don’t support, and that unions claiming to represent teachers actually have teachers’ support.

Today's proposal from @GovRonDeSantis takes a huge swing at wayward school unions: -no more deducting dues from paychecks -no union business or fliers at work -school union execs can't be paid more than highest paid member -and a requirement to have 60% representation to exist

Just since yesterday an Amtrak train got stuck in the woods for 29 hours and the Federal Aviation Administration had its first nationwide ground halt since 9/11 due to system failure, but the Left wants even more agency power and Pete Buttigieg thinks he deserves to be President.

Choosing to take a job and agreeing to do it in exchange for pay is the same as being forced to fund union politics and representation you don’t want out your paycheck, or else be fired. Very sensible and conservative!

The “nationalist populist new right” - the ones claiming they REALLY protect conservative values - say there’s no difference between agreeing to do the job you’re paid to do and chose to work at…and being forced to fund Democratic activism through mandatory union dues.

So great to see champion this. The Supreme Ct already said the status quo - automatic union dues deduction from paychecks - is unconstitutional because it forces workers to fund union politics against their will. Unions can and should do their own dues collection.

NEW: Gov. Ron DeSantis says he wants a “Paycheck Protection” bill passed. He says it prevents government from deducting union dues from teacher paychecks. Instead, teachers would need to write checks to the unions. “That maximizes freedom to choose"

Every statewide GOP candidate in Georgia won except one. Every Trump candidate but one lost, and the one who won underperformed. Ronna McDaniel is the longest serving RNC Chair to never have a winning season. Georgia has 16 electoral college votes in 2024.

No one talks about because he’s the antithesis of everything Trumpers and the new right say Republicans need to be to win these days - aka he’s a principled and civil champion of free markets - yet no one has a better record than he does in Pennsylvania this century.

You’ll never hear it from the “new right” nationalist populist crowd, but everyone knows that Pat Toomey - champion of free trade and limited government economic freedom - would have absolutely destroyed John Fetterman in Pennsylvania.

Best PA Republican electoral record of the last twenty years : Pat Toomey. Something we should remember in the days to come.

Remember how it feels when you fuel up your car, check out at the grocery store, and look at your 401k. Bad policies caused this. Reckless spending, war on fossil fuels, rampant union favoritism. Today is the beginning of changing direction. Vote out the people who caused it.

The Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments about ending racial discrimination in college admissions. The Court must take this opportunity to stop discrimination and hate in its tracks, & encourage the next generation to achieve their own American dream.
