NEW: Scott Presler allowed multiple out of state GOP operatives to use his home in Pennsylvania to vote in the '24 election. Those operatives then left the state. Election lawyers say this could be in violation of PA voting laws.

MAGA Inc is funded by big crypto, data center elites, the health care industry, Wall Street, private prisons and more. They’re paying for scores of ads in battleground races across the country claiming dems and independents are in the pocket of special interests! nitter.cf/CAPAction/status/21122…

Trump's super PAC has dropped $36M+ on the TX Sen race. Blackstone is the Wall Street firm gobbling up this housing stock @jamestalarico mentioned.
Blackstone's CEO Stephen Schwarzman gave $5M to Trump's super PAC that's responsible for a large chunk of the Talarico attack ads.
.@jamestalarico: the folks who are buying up most of the properties here in Texas, it's Wall Street. And so we need to ban Wall Street from gobbling up our housing stock here in Texas so that we can allow actual Texans to afford a home."

Trump promised to lower costs for Americans on day one. Now—for the 6th month in a row—inflation remains high.
ALT A line graph titled "Year-over-year wage growth vs. inflation" with a header stating: "Thanks to the Trump administration’s war in Iran, inflation has outpaced wages for the 6th month in a row." The graph tracks two metrics from July 2024 through recent months in 2026: Wage Growth (Orange Line): Starts near 3.6%, peaks around 4.2% in late 2024 and early 2025, then gradually declines to 3.0%. Inflation (Purple Line): Remains below wage growth around 2.3%–3.0% throughout 2024 and 2025. Marked by a vertical line at the "Start of the Iran war" in early 2026, inflation sharply spikes past wage growth to a peak above 4.0% before settling at 3.7%. Vertical dashed lines mark the "Start of Trump's term" (Jan 2025) and "Start of the Iran war" (Spring 2026). Cites CAP "Fact Sheet: Costs of Iran War" (2026) and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index (2024–2026). Features the Center for American Progress logo.

New analysis reveals that Trump's tariffs raised prices on consumers and increased price inflation significantly.
Without the tariffs, it's estimated prices would've fallen.

$2.4 billion. That's what Trump and sons have pocketed from crypto since the 24 election. The CLARITY Act does nothing to stop it— it would ratify it.
Trump disclosed $1.4 B of crypto income in 25 alone. Our estimate includes post election 24, 26 to date, & other undisclosed $.

BREAKING: Michael Whatley can't say if he'd actually uphold the promises he made on the RNC stage moments earlier.
Q: If elected to the Senate, would you try to bring those [ACA subsidies] back?

Secretary Rollins downplays high beef prices, comparing it to a trip to Starbucks.
"The price remains where the price is, but people keep buying it.... People think that $6.50 for a pound of ground beef, which by the way, is less than a latte from Starbucks."

Neera Tanden: "What could possibly be protected speech if not facts developed from evidence and crime statistics about governmental policies? It's hard to imagine what the First Amendment would protect if it doesn't protect speech like that."

Neera Tanden: It is anti-democratic that facts inconvenient to the administration are considered defamation to the president.
