Sen. Marsha Blackburn is seemingly determined to avoid interviews. We were invited to a local media event, and were told she'd stick around to talk about her race for governor of Tennessee. Blackburn tried to deter our @NC5_BenHall, who was trying to get real answers, but a slow elevator had other plans for her.

PabloReports: How do House Republicans make the case that you're fighting for affordability when you go back to your districts? Nehls: Affordability? What are you talking about? I'm gonna go there tomorrow. I'm gonna get me a couple of big lobster tails. I'm gonna get me some nice rib eyes. Reporter: Do you think the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck can afford lobster tails and rib eyes and all of that? Nehls: Maybe not. Maybe the 60% of Americans don't work as hard as I do.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court strikes down limits on party spending in federal elections, backing Republican appeal.

Keeping Tom and his family in my prayers. I’m glad to see him back, serving his constituents, and in good health. Depression is a disease impacting millions of Americans and can be debilitating if left untreated. Having known Tom for years, he is a dedicated public servant who has always put his constituents first. Stepping away to seek help was not an easy decision for him. It is easy to criticize, but even elected officials are human, and deal with many of the same struggles that impact the American people on a daily basis. Tom has my empathy and support as he comes forward to discuss a deeply personal challenge that he has been dealing with for the past few months. I encourage everyone to show him grace and recognize this disease, like any other, is beyond his control. He has sought treatment and is back to good health and focused on fighting for the people he represents. Welcome back, @CongressmanKean!

If Graham Platner wants to debate policy, I look forward to that conversation. But making reckless and defamatory accusations because you cannot defend your own record is beneath the people of Maine.

I’ve been arrested over 25 times in nonviolent civil disobedience as a movement leader. I’m running for Congress in Arizona’s 4th district to take the fight to dethrone the oligarchs and win an America we can afford from the streets to the halls of power. Today we share our first ad, by the great @MeltedSolids team, which shows the movement of love, truth, and people power we’re building to take on one of the most powerful corporate Dems in the country. We’re ready to be the next big organizing win for progressives. Join us. kaiforaz.com

Stephen Miller: “America’s doors are fully closed to asylum seekers… If you want asylum, we’ll find another country to take you.” Since October 2025, 4,499 refugees have been resettled in the U.S., according to the Refugee Processing Center. All but three, who were from Afghanistan, were South African. Meanwhile, The New York Times reports the Trump administration has prepared a welcome package for future white South African refugees arriving in the U.S. that includes an Android tablet, an American flag, copies of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, and Trump-approved literature promoting a version of American and South African history that criticizes racial equity and civil rights laws while promoting claims of discrimination against white people. It doesn’t get more racist than this. Refugees are welcome as long as they’re white.
