Tonight @CPAC begins a painful conversation with our supporters about how to rebuild our conservative movement and our political strategy as we gather in Florida this week the one bright spot on the map…and Guam. As bad as it all is we will be clear eyed, humble and we will seek God’s guidance.

Election Day advice for young campaign staffers: • Yard signs don’t vote. • Thank poll workers & greeters, regardless of who they support. • Give personal email to super vols & interns. Help them with their careers • Mix in some water tonight. • Call your parents.

Dispatch attacks Jon as being a career politician and then endorses the man who’s been in politics longer than most Ohioans have been alive. What a joke.

Girlfriend. You haven’t done shit to bring energy costs down. Your votes throughout your career killed Ohio coal jobs, stifled natural gas production, and shoveled billions into the hands of Chinese Green energy scammers. We are paying more because of you.

I’ve seen hostage situations with more enthusiasm.
Amy Acton is holding a press event / roundtable discussion on the topic of corruption at a coffee shop in Columbus. She’s here with Tiffany Muller with End Citizens United.

Over 20 years in the Senate & @SherrodBrown managed to shut down DOZENS of energy generating sites across Ohio. Before he left in 2023 he & Biden/Harris managed to make Coal & Natural Gas target #1 for shut down…finishing the job Obama started. Industries that create jobs and support the working class…Sherrod Brown is the grim reaper for working class Ohioans. eia.gov/TODAYINENERGY/detail…

You’ve proven your ability to stick to big energy. Over 20 years in the senate and you managed to shut down dozens of energy projects killing jobs and hurting working families. Cant you just stop making life harder for Ohioans Sherrod?

Turns out decades of @SherrodBrown supporting progressive public policy that included shutting down reliable and affordable baseload power has consequences.
AEP's Ohio Power Co. shut off customers' electricity because of nonpayment at more than twice the rate of AES, Duke, or FirstEnergy during the last reporting year. Overall, both the average disconnection rate & the average owed jumped. @CanaryMediaInc canarymedia.com/articles/uti…

RIP, Lindsey Graham. This moment in the Kavanaugh hearings was phenomenal.

Like him or not, it is becoming increasingly difficult to dispute that the economy is now improving under President Trump. Costs are coming down, economic investment in the U.S. is increasing, and the stock market is reaching record highs.

Platner is so spiritually Palestinian. Just taking everyone hostage until the very end—even after he's clearly already lost—and continuing to make absurd, irrational demands that his radicalism be placated despite holding virtually no cards.
Platner aide lists terms for dropping out: “If he was to step down it would only be with a guarantee of being replaced by a candidate who he believes is true to the values and vision and policy agenda of the campaign that Maine voted for." @ShaneGoldmacher nytimes.com/live/2026/07/06/…

Aged like milk.
Graham Platner isn’t just our best and only chance to beat Susan Collins, he’s a good, decent man who’s struggled and grown and is always trying to do better. I hope everyone with reservations takes a little time to get to know the real life version of him, not what the algorithm throws in our faces. Clearly, that’s what so many people in Maine have done - from all different walks of life and political persuasions.

There’s nothing more American than redemption! As we celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday, it’s inspiring to see @forthepplorg launch this initiative to expand opportunity and help those earning second chances successfully reintegrate into their communities.
For The People understands to safely bring people home from prison – and truly transform systems – we need the leadership and insight of those with lived experience, in collaboration with other field experts. That's why we're excited to announce our new Reentry Advisory Council, which will advise and strengthen our programs, partnerships, and strategies, including deepening our engagement with currently and formerly incarcerated people seeking second chances. Meet the Council and learn more at fortheppl.org/reentry-adviso…

Absolutely not. As if the crime and exorbitant taxes weren’t enough to leave New York.
New York: it's hot out there, and the power grid is working overtime to keep us cool. Set your AC to 78 degrees, turn off lights/electronics you're not using, and unplug what you can. Our City is doing its part too: maintaining the 78 degrees rule in our buildings, dimming/turning off our lights during peak electricity demand, asking private partners to do the same, and powering down non-essential equipment. A stable grid means the AC stays on, and lives are saved. Let's ease demand — and get through the heat — together.

Watching tonights election results in Colorado we are reminded of another Marxists invasion. Over 40 years ago a small group of high school students in the fictional mountain town of Calumet, Colorado. manage to escape the invading Communists by fleeing into the mountains. Determined not to remain passive victims, the group transforms into guerrilla fighters. They name themselves the Wolverines.

No one exemplifies accountability and redemption better than @PeterLucido, Macomb County Prosecutor and @CPAC Prosecutors Coalition member! His commitment to smart, effective justice made his office one of the most recognized and awarded in the nation. macombdaily.com/2026/06/22/m…

This is addition by subtraction. Good riddance. She’s only ever been beholden to herself and her brand. She should start the party of “Clicks and Likes”

California is a failed state. Their cities are overrun with homeless people, criminals walk free, and their elections are a sham. The Democrat vision for America looks like California.
