And the Senate should absolutely move forward with a floor vote.
The Constitution, our history and norms support these actions. Full stop. #FillTheSeat

.@realDonaldTrump's nominee for #SCOTUSl should receive a floor vote. This is the norm for a Senate who is of the same party as the President. There have been 29 Supreme Court vacancies during election years or lame-duck terms and the President has always made a nomination.
In 19 of those 29 cases the President's party has held the Senate. 17 of those nominees were confirmed, 9 before the election and 8 after. The last time a divided government confirmed the nominee was 1888, with President Grover Cleveland. #FillTheSeat
Historically when the opposing party controls the Senate they can block the appointment. That’s supported by precedent. Only once has a nomination been made by a sitting president before election day with a Senate of the opposite party & had the Justice confirmed. CJ Fuller 1888
There is also plenty of time to move forward before the election - Justice John Paul Stevens was confirmed in 19 days. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor in 33 days. And the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in 42 days.
There is overwhelming precedent to support the Senate's moving forward with the confirmation process of the President's nominee. This is not analogous to the 2016 passing of J. Scalia where a lame duck President made a nomination to a Senate of the opposite party. #FillTheSeat
In 2016, President Obama was asking the Republican Senate to do something which had not been done in 130 years. It was also not the precedent. The Senate majority did exactly what Senate Democrats said they would do in 1992 and again in 2007.
Our Constitution & laws set up the means by which authority is excersized. Within those limiting principals we govern. The people have elected @realDonaldTrump & a @GOP controlled Senate. It's wholly appropriate to select & confirm a nominee before election day. #FillTheSeat
Our #SCOTUS nomination process has become more partisan in recent yrs. But the norm has always been to hold it open until the next election when there is a conflict between the branches & move forward when the President & Senate are of the same party #FillTheSeat@realDonaldTrump
When the American people have elected a Senate majority to work alongside the sitting President of the same party, the historical record is overwhelmingly in favor of the confirmation of a sitting President's nominee. #FillTheSeat@realDonaldTrump
In short, in the absence of divided government, election year nominees get confirmed. #FillTheSeat

The president of Mexico is openly trying to help her fellow countrymen in America avoid our new remittance tax.
Ironically, this is precisely WHY we need to crack down on remittances.
My bill—the REMIT Act—will do just that. (1/7)
Mexico depends on U.S. remittances. That's why their president is trying to give Mexican nationals in the U.S. guidance on how to maximize the flow of U.S. dollars into Mexico.
Their economy is inextricably tied to this cash flow. Without our economy, theirs would crumble. (2/7)
This isn't the first time Claudia Sheinbaum has encouraged Mexican nationals in the U.S. to activate—as a political bloc—to lobby for Mexican interests.
In June, she called for them to "mobilize" against the remittance tax in the Big Beautiful Bill. (3/7)
Under Biden, the Left used the executive branch to build a powerful lawfare machine.
Trump won. But the Left's lawfare continues. Activist groups and far-left judges are wielding our courts like a political weapon, twisting the law to undermine the will of the American people.
As Attorney General of Missouri, I went on offense against Biden—and won
We blocked his vax mandates, forced him to enforce Remain in Mexico (for a while), killed his student loan bailout scheme, exposed his censorship regime, liberated a million people from forced masking…
🚨HUGE victory today in the fight against the unaccountable Administrative State.
The Supreme Court just put an end to yet another lawless order by a single rogue district judge that prevented the Trump Administration from downsizing our bloated bureaucracy. 🧵
This is a big win for the President's ability to direct the affairs of the executive branch. Personnel is policy. If the President can't remove bureaucrats, he isn't in charge.
This a nation of settlers, explorers and pioneers. Our ancestors settled a frontier, built skyscrapers and split atoms, and planted our flag on the moon.
Missouri has been at the heart of it all — every step of the way. 🧵
In 1799, an old man packed up his things and left Kentucky for the wild frontier.
His name was Daniel Boone. He was 65 years old.
Kentucky had gotten "too crowded," he said. "I want more elbow room."
So he headed west: to the Spanish-controlled territory of Missouri.
Boone was an early American archetype: the restless explorer who pushed west because the existing frontier wasn’t wild enough for him.
Even before Missouri was officially America, it had begun to attract men like this—driven by a pioneering spirit that would shape our nation.
🚨 The Supreme Court just delivered a HUGE win on birthright citizenship.
But it's even bigger than that. They also reaffirmed that rogue district judges can't issue nationwide injunctions to stop President Trump from carrying out his agenda.
This is a big, big deal. 🧵
This case wasn’t just about just about birthright citizenship—it was about the proper role of the courts in our political system.
I called this after oral arguments took place for the case last month: "Trump could be on the cusp of a big win."
The entire Democratic Party is lining up behind an anti-American open borders socialist who wants to tear down the country that welcomed him and his family.
Don't look away.
This is who they are. 🧵
Zohran Mamdani just won the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City. He wants to:
• End cooperation with ICE
• End deportations of criminals
• Abolish prisons
• Defund the police
• Decriminalize all drugs
• Have taxpayer-funded sex changes for kids
...and much more.
Mamdani is an open left-wing revolutionary. Those are his words—not mine.
He's not just "liberal." He is a card-carrying member of the Democratic Socialists of America—and holds every insane leftist, socialist, Third Worldist position in the book.
