I’m one of just six Senators who have never taken corporate PAC checks. Our campaign finance system is broken.

If we want to regain the trust of Americans on the left, right and center, it’s a no brainer: ban corporate PAC donations to anyone running for office.

They picked the DAY President Trump was named in the Epstein Files to talk about Barack Obama. My 10-year-old nephew understands what is happening. It's a distraction, meant to talk about something other than the President being in the files of a known pedophile and sex offender.

Where has he done that?

Also he lost by ~8 not 14. Presidential margin not his job. Over performing by 5.5 is tough. He got 200k+ more votes than Kamala. Not enough… but the median voter wanted Trump over Kamala by 14 points, so how do you think you make up those final 8 points of Trump voters?

Haven’t seen him blame anyone. But… Curious how you think *any* Dem over performs a 14 point loss at the Presidential level in TX? At a certain point the national brand weighs us down in a state like TX.

He over-performed by 5 can he build on that? yes I think so.

"You can't be both the arsonist and the firefighter."

Senator Elissa Slotkin blames President Trump for fueling his base's interest in the Epstein files and says his response to the controversy has been "weird."

"Just release them, and let's move on to the real work of the country."

In our weekly Intel Briefing, we do another look at President Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" and what it means for kids in schools, the national debt and hidden provisions like:

1️⃣ A tax deduction for private jets
2️⃣ A tax hike on gambling losses

This group did not support him last time and he won the primary by 42 points. If you want an idea of their actual pull with primary voters.

Allred: When I hear someone say, “This year you only get one doll instead of five or six for Christmas,” they just have no idea what working families are actually dealing with.

The question isn’t whether you’re getting five or six dolls. The question is whether you’re going to have any at all.

Ah yes… I remember you now…

You can always do more but a big piece of what he did worked.

Allred over performed Kamala in every country. Harris, Dallas, the Valley. That didn’t happen by accident.

As someone who served in Iraq and saw up close the loss of blood and treasure over 20 years, I don’t want to be embroiled in another drawn out conflict, and neither do the American people. 3/4

$75 billion firm wins carve-out in tax bill after lobbying push Lobbyists for a private equity firm were paid to influence Congress on the obscure provision, records show.

This is why you always need to read the fine print. In addition to a tax plan that heavily favors the most wealthy, there’s plenty of carve-outs like this for their friends. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Trump has been talking about this since Project 2025 came out.

So since January, I've pressed Trump nominees about these very issues: politicizing our military, sending in the Guard against the wishes of a sitting Governor, and upholding our Constitution.

Watch for yourself.

The Legal Issues Surrounding Trump’s Plan to Use Troops to Suppress Protests

Yesterday, President Trump called up 2,000 National Guard troops to LA over the objections of the governor, mayor, and the LAPD. It's the first time in 60 years that a president has sent troops into a U.S. state without the Governor’s consent. 🧵

WELKER: Trump promised he was going to improve the economy on day one. What's your message to Americans who want to retire and have just seen their lifetime savings drop significantly?

BESSENT: Most Americans who have put away for years in savings accounts don't look at the day to day fluctuations

For 30 years we’ve been outsourcing our supply chains way too far, and too many Michigan workers have suffered because of it.

We need a vision for a 21st-century trade policy.
