Now let’s use defense production to force Newson to reopen the California refineries that supply our Pacific fleet.
ExxonMobil has confirmed its Joliet, IL refinery is fully back online after a successful restart: “11 million gallons per day of diesel and gasoline production capacity are back online.”

It is a great honor to be put in the same post with @VotingGuy as he has forgotten more about election administration than I have learned. Truly a must follow.

Abraham Accords lead to increased security for Israel’s partner nations. Fact.
Israel has emerged as a major arms supplier to Morocco, accounting for 24% of the nation's defense imports and ranking second behind the United States. Military ties between the two nations have expanded significantly following the 2020 Abraham Accords.

.@JeanneIves and @JimIuorio, filling in for Dan Proft, discussed technical failures that disrupted the first day of early voting in DuPage County. To discuss broader election integrity issues, the hosts welcomed Don Palmer (@VotingGuy), senior legal fellow for election integrity at the @Heritage Foundation, which recently released its latest state-by-state election integrity scorecard.

SCOTUS gets one right holding, “the Federal Government has an obligation to respond to requests from state and local election officials seeking to verify the citizenship of voters.” Only the Feds have the citizenship information states need to conduct lawful list maintenance. Florida has led the charge on this issue through years of litigation. The 20 arrests announced yesterday prove that with this information we can catch and punish those who try to cheat in our elections. thehill.com/regulation/court…

Without even allowing the government a chance to respond, and in the dark of night, a federal appeals court blocked us from conducting all third-country removals of illegal aliens, an entirely legal and invaluable tool to stem the tide of illegal immigration. We will immediately seek relief from the Supreme Court, which previously granted a stay in this very same case. foxnews.com/politics/federal…

Over the past 8 years we have, among other things: —strengthened voter ID requirements —removed derelict local election officials —banned ballot harvesting —prohibited Zuckerbucks —enacted the Florida SAVE Act —established the office of election crimes, which has brought prosecutions for voter fraud
We have prioritized election integrity in Florida. I was proud to enact major reforms to ensure the security of our elections. The results are in: For three cycles in a row now, Florida has been the national model for conducting efficient, responsible, and transparent elections. We have zero tolerance for voter fraud. Today, @AGJamesUthmeier announced the arrests of 12 individuals, most of whom are non-citizens, for voting illegally in Florida. We will not tolerate attempts to undermine the integrity of our electoral process, and we will hold accountable those who violate our laws. I was proud to announce that the newly formed Association of State and Local Election Officials will bring together election officials from across the country to improve election administration and restore public trust in our electoral systems. Under the leadership of Cord Byrd, Florida’s own Secretary of State, we are committed to helping other states replicate the successes we have seen in Florida.

BREAKING NEWS - Huge legal victory for election integrity in Ohio tonight. Just got word that we effectively upheld our state law that ensures only U.S. citizens can register to vote in Ohio! This comes just two days after another legal win preventing the Ohio Democratic Party from funneling unlimited campaign contributions to their candidates from radical billionaires like George Soros. We’re still fighting another lawsuit attempting to prevent us from verifying citizenship *after* someone registers to vote. The fight continues, but we’re winning! Stay tuned!

The Navy has it covered!
The crew of the USS Abraham Lincoln touched American soil for the first time in nine months, when the strike group pulled into Apra Harbor, Guam, for a brief logistics stop and on-base liberty. The supercarrier, alongside guided-missile destroyer USS Frank E. Petersen Jr., arrived on September 19 and left the next day. Lincoln is 307 days into her deployment, 19 short of the record set earlier this year by the USS Gerald R. Ford, and is now just weeks away from San Diego. Meanwhile, two flattops are on station in the Middle East supporting blockade operations, and the USS Ronald Reagan has rejoined the fleet after an extended maintenance availability.

Love that @KevinRobertsTX went to Harvard and asked this question: If diversity is so important to Harvard, why aren’t there more conservatives? Can’t wait to watch the whole debate!
My opening statement at Harvard last night where I argued that DEI policies have done great harm to the people who supposedly benefit from them, to the social cohesion of the academic community, and to those who deserve to participate in higher education.

BREAKING: In a 2-1 vote, the Sixth Circuit allowed Ohio to continue requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration at the BMV while the state appeals a federal judge’s order that had blocked the requirement. Judge Ritz dissented.

Voters and city councils routinely repeal ranked-choice voting after implementing it because it does not provide the benefits promised, only bringing confusion and chaos.
What’s the case for ranked-choice voting? Delayed results? Longer lines? Eliminated ballots? Less transparency? Technical issues? Expensive machine upgrades? timescall.com/2026/09/20/lon…
