Rep. Juan Ciscomani

Humbled and honored by the opportunity to deliver the Republican Address to the Nation in Spanish following the State of the Union. My message is simple: The American Dream is a dream worth fighting for. Mi mensaje es sencillo, el sueño americano merece ser defendido.

Just a reminder that supporting real journalism is believing in the truth and facts, whether it benefits *your side* or the other. The opposite of this is only trusting a reporter when they write something that benefits you, and harassing them when it doesn’t.
Barack Obama & Michelle Obama

The vicious, unjustified beating of Tyre Nichols and his ultimate death at the hands of five Memphis police officers is just the latest, painful reminder of how far America still has to go in fixing how we police our streets.

Perpetual grievance & victimhood, weaponized into an assault on the legitimacy of our democratic institutions. This is the Trumpification of the GOP.

U.S. House of Representatives “(The left are) trying to shoehorn conservative speech into a category of unprotected speech . ... If you want to silence someone you disagree with, just declare that their speech is either a threat or incitement or somewhere in between.”
