I support this.



🚨 UPDATE: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis just said the states should band together for a federal BALANCED BUDGET AMENDMENT so that DOGE cuts are FORCED to be codified

Yes! This would be HUGE for the future of our republic 🇺🇸

DESANTIS: "If Congress had to balance the budget then it could have easily folded in the DOGE recommendations."

Around 29 states have filed so far. We need 34 to FORCE it!

He's fighting hard for consideration and I respect it. The Republican bench is deep and DeSantis is absolutely a contender to be the next presidential candidate imo. Him, vance and rubio would all be great options.

Imagine the circles they would run around AOC in a debate lol

I'm a Florida resident, and I agree he would be a good candidate. He has some baggage though, he went on an anti woke binge back in the COVID days, some of his positions were just a little over the top. He's a good executive though

An anti-woke binge is baggage? Seems like a badge of honor to me.
maybe, but for president you have to appeal to more than just republicans. I'll say this though, if you compare records as governor against Newsom - housing, homelessness, budgets, economic growth - Desantis has much better record to run on.

🚨 FLORIDA IS DOING WHAT THE REST OF AMERICA WON’T

Starting this semester, every public school student in Florida is REQUIRED by law to learn the real history of communism.

Soviet Union. Mao’s China. North Korea. Castro’s Cuba.
Not the sanitized, “it’s never been tried” version. The actual body count version.

DeSantis signed the anti-communist education bill in 2024 for a reason. Socialism is on the march in American politics, and Florida decided kids should know where that road ends.

DSA just praised Fidel Castro online last week. DeSantis didn’t flinch: Florida students know better.

Even the Democratic Socialist running for Senate is suddenly trying to pretend the label doesn’t mean anything.

Meanwhile, kids whose families actually fled these regimes are sitting in class understanding exactly what’s at stake:

Freedom isn’t the default. It’s the exception.
Florida is teaching the truth. The rest of the country is still pretending the 100 million dead were just a “flawed implementation.”

America First starts in the classroom.

DeSantis may emerge as the frontrunner for 28 after this debacle. It would be him or Rubio as of today for me.

What he says here is 💯



🚨 Ron DeSantis is GOING OFF on Republicans for SQUANDERING our TWO YEAR TRIFECTA -- ESPECIALLY on deportations

"Why haven't we STRIPPED JURISDICTION from the federal courts over deportation cases?!"

"Why haven't we done IMMIGRATION?! Shut off H1B visas! Why haven't we CODIFIED Trump's immigration executive orders? There's SO MANY THINGS that could have been done. They didn't even ATTEMPT it, Laura."

"A lot of our voters who STAYED HOME. They stayed home because they were FRUSTRATED with the lack of productivity from Republicans in the House and Senate."

Senate Republicans had everything they needed to LOCK IN conservative immigration policy for a GENERATION. They didn't even TRY.

I just saw him on another channel and he was mocking Republicans who ran anti-trans ads because he said that's already been done and it no longer works. Hopefully you guys take that to heart.

You cannot be serious. It had ZERO effects on this election - ZERO, even with a half-billion dollars from Elon to promote it because it's corrosive and not what the majority of Americans cared about.

Listen to S.E, a conservative - she knows.


It works. Lots of questions still to be answered.

Ok fine, don't learn and keep on losing because that's not what mom and dad sitting around their kitchen table care about. DeSantis thinks you're stupid for focusing on it too but it's fine with me if you're averse to winning.

K, never in our history have we had an election season that had so much anti-trans propganda that literally lasted for two years and it did nothing - less than nothing. But keep pumping that nonsense if you think it helps you, it won't.

When major losses occur there is always discussion which is good. Any kind of Trans ads did not cause the loss imo.
You're missing the point - they didn't help - at all, even with a half-billion Elon bucks and his mega-phone spreading anti-trans hysteria. But it was an extraordinarily expensive flop.

You’re missing the plot @dpic73. It’s furries. Furries are the REAL problem and the GOP miscalculated by over-indexing on trans. Duh.

We should roll up our sleeves and go after the evil veterinarians performing furry sex changes before the practice spreads any further. It's of the devil and we need to make ending it part of the 2028 platform.

Disagree. She won due to republicans being pissed that she was forced on the state imo.
well if anti trans ads worked it shouldn’t matter?

truth is they don’t. And it’s funny seeing now the opposite to the delusional dems the past few years who couldn’t believe they lost elections now flip to the other side.

it’s the economy stupid! And most folks don’t give a dam about Iran, don’t give a dam about putting Israel before our own needs, and don’t give a dam about “well stocks are up!” When housing is out of reach for an entire generation, and costs are soaring through the roof.

Trump sucks now. He blew it and the country knows it. Idk what happened to the maverick who came through in 16’ maybe he got old or compromised but it ain’t the same guy anymore and running some anti trans ads thinking that’ll win you elections in the big 26’ just seems like a joke.

I dont recall trans ads being the cornerstone of anything where im at. Like you said the performance while in office is the primary thing. I think hes doing a good job. He didnt create the cluster with housing and everything else. Housing prices are now dropping in GA Gwinnett county. The Iran deal im not happy with but i trust Trump.

Are you seriously trying to claim that Trans ads weren't the cornerstone of the Republicans strategy?

I have been inundated for months with ads from Darlene Nordone that literally were about nothing but Annie Andrews being in favor of Transing kids which made her too radical. Months of the same ad.

In 2019 median house price in Gwinnett county was 225-250 now it’s coming DOWN to 400-425 (not to mention interest rates are far higher now than in 19’) and mind you one county doesn’t account for the last 6 or so years of a trend. “Welp I know housing costs have doubled over the last few years but now they’re coming down 1-2%” isn’t a winning strategy to campaign on.

what’s a first time homebuyer supposed to do out there? Did median wages double over the last 7 years? You can’t save for a down payment quick enough to account for how high housing prices have gotten down here.

Did you run GOP national strategy? You seem to have your head buried about as much as they did.

I’m center right, I understand it’s not all trumps fault. And honestly we had a great economy till Covid hit.

but the truth is the national gop strategy was absolutely awful and tried to play the hits with culture war nonsense instead of trying to have a competent strategy of improving the economy.

Iran war has been an absolute mistake even if our guys in the air and on the sea have done their jobs to perfection. It looks like we’re bending over backwards for Israel instead of “America first” as we were promised.

and in our own backyard did the gop think South Carolina voters were stupid? Trying to install another Graham right after her brother talked about trying to send our men and women to Iran? He barely had enough political power to hang on as a multi term incumbent let alone his sister. It’s why Wilson steamrolled through as a republican and Graham lost. (Not to mention Dr. Andrews did a good job just presenting as a normal safe center left politician and not far left, I’m not sure how it’ll play out with her, does she truly want to hang on and stick around for a while and stay center left or try to push a hard left agenda while she has her office)

Graham did nothing to appeal to any young republicans in this state, the only “positive” ads I saw her run was about giving more tax cuts to retired boomers.

I also truly don't think Graham even wanted to be a Senator. I felt a bit sorry for her in her concession speech, she seemed extremely relieved.

I live in GA yoshi.
I live in Georgia too and we didn't see many of those ads here but they were rampant in other states. Watch this clip to see how stupid the Republican candidate in Montana looked while trying to pin trans nonsense on his opponent who stayed calm and composed during his rant and then note his response. It doesn't work anymore, it's a dead election issue.


And look at the ads they ran against him that didn't work. Forstag still won by 3 points in this deep red state despite the trans hysteria.

LMAO... So let me get this straight... Graham was FORCED on SC? The SC governor picked her to serve the rest of her brother's term. Then she decided to run for the Senate herself. She got elected in the SC Republican primary after a run off. So she got voted for twice by Republicans in SC. How exactly was she "forced" on the state?

No man, the problem was not only the Furries... The Republicans SHOULD have been laser focused on those woke schools that actually provided the litter boxes for these furries. THAT'S where the focus should have been... LITTER BOXES. That's what wins elections!!! (even though no one could actually find a school that provided them).

You are just some kind of woke freak!!!! I'm glad I live in Idaho (which stayed Red) and I don't have to worry about my daughter (Chloe) leaving for school in the morning and coming back as Cole that afternoon. That sounds like EXACTLY the kind of thing a Peditrician Dem Senator would support. Hell, she probably does the surgery herself!!
