The other one I’ve wondered about is Josh Hawley…

Cornyn, Thune are more obvious establishment types.

Anyone paying attention to Cotton over the last years knows he’s compromised.

Follow the phone calls, emails, text messages, etc...Trump is moving at such speed, they will slip up from rushing what they normally could conspire in private about over the course of six months. Now it’s six days.

Cotton’s communications director, Caroline Tabler, told Fox News: “To be clear, as he’s stated many times, Senator Cotton graduated from Ranger School, earned the Ranger Tab, and served a combat tour with the 101st Airborne, not the 75th Ranger Regiment.”

Quite frankly, I think the first thing on their freshman orientation schedule is for the CIA to compromise them six ways to Sunday and scare them into submission to the agency.

The control and manipulation of information equals power and authority around American politics. The Agencies will control you in American politics by any means necessary to further their agendas. This must be fixed.

I’ll clarify this for you,
@charliekirk11
.

Senator Tom Cotton (
@SenTomCotton
) serves as a Director at the International Republican Institute (IRI), one of eight core NGOs aligned with the political establishment. While IRI is closely tied to the Republican Party, its agenda and interests fundamentally conflicts with President Trump’s policies.

Funded primarily by taxpayers, IRI received $130,689,289 last year, much of it from USAID. Though Senator Cotton is unpaid for his board role, the organization directs substantial public funds toward expenditures like travel ($12,173,741) and pensions and fringe benefits ($14,232,108).

As I’ve noted before, IRI has funded refugee resettlement through grants to the UN-affiliated International Organization for Migration and has backed other progressive initiatives.

Anyone affiliated with IRI is advancing the interests of the global elite, not the priorities of U.S. citizens or Republican constituents—unless they choose to resign from the IRI.

“DataRepublican (small r)
@DataRepublican

Copying and pasting for context since Elon RT’d:
No one is entirely good or entirely evil—we are all flawed. That’s why I haven’t criticized Rubio or Ernst solely for their involvement with the International Republican Institute (IRI). Even good people find themselves in compromising positions; Daniel from the Old Testament is a prime example.

However, Washington, D.C., and the country as a whole are entangled in a web of corruption, and the IRI itself is part of that corruption. If
@SenTomCotton
is leading an effort to undermine Bridge—a figure unpopular among neoconservatives, according to Wikipedia—that likely explains his motivation.

That said, Tom Cotton can still redeem himself. At a minimum, he should stop opposing Trump’s appointees and distance himself from any association with corruption. Actions speak louder than words.”

Tom Cotton going to get a Musk colonoscopy. Twitter on the case.

DataRepublican is handicapped. Deaf and non verbal. She is killing it with the research and helping to expose the grifters.

I see this coming to a crash very soon. It boils down to the last two standing fighters.

Beltway Intelligence Agencies vs. Elon Musk. I am very concerned about that match. The agencies are cornered, wounded, and rabid. They would prefer total mutual destruction over defeat.

The judicial and legislative branches have just about punched themselves out now. The executive branch is way too disjointed and fractured. I know Musk has discussed this.

“Publius
@OcrazioCornPop
Thomas Massie has warned that
@DOGE
is on a collision course with the fake conservatives in the House and Senate.

And why haven’t Republicans exposed all this blatant Fraud years ago?

International Republican Institute (IRI):
USAID Funding: Over $130 million

Board Members: Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham, Tom Cotton, Joni Ernst, Mitt Romney, Dan Crenshaw

John McCain led the International Republican Institute for 25 years while he “tutored” the current Board Members.

National Endowment for Democracy (NED):
USAID Funding: Around $300 million annually

Board Member: Elise Stefanik

These organizations, often labeled as “worldwide democracy spreaders,” are well-known for their roles in “regime change operations.”
