*NEWS INTERRUPTION*

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been 10/10. He’s been phenomenal.

From the moment I jumped into politics, securing the border was my #1 issue.

My opponents looked at me like I was crazy. The media called me an “immigration hardliner.”

Well, it wasn’t hard to draw a line at the invasion of our country.

Witnessing President Trump prioritizing the border crisis and solving it almost overnight, is more than just a vindication.

It's a great comfort knowing Arizona is safe.

A post on…paper checks!

-Treasury processed 116 million paper checks in FY2024.
-In FY2023, $25 billion in tax refunds were delayed or lost due to returned or expired checks.
-Treasury maintains a physical lockbox network to collect checks for tax (IRS), passport (State Department), etc.  It costs approximately $2.40 per check to maintain this lockbox network.
-Deleting paper checks would save at least $750 million per year.

According to court documents, officers within the vicinity of the device were unable to properly use their body-worn cameras and key fobs to lock and unlock police vehicles and were unable to transmit information through police issued hand held radio devices during an active emergency.
