Senator Collins said she was going to get ICE out of Maine, but she has failed to do that. Even further, she handed over $70 billion to ICE without guardrails or accountability. And Maine paid the price.

🚨 Kansas Republican Governor Mike Hayden endorses Adam Hamilton: Kansans work hard. They deserve a senator who works just as hard for them... I supported Roger Marshall before, but he has put party and politics ahead of the people of Kansas. It's time for a change.

When a presidency signals it doesn't care about corruption, the rot spreads far and wide.

There has now been more than $100,000 in taxpayer-paid airings of this Maduro-focused ad — since Trump announced that his super PAC would be paying for these ads, per AdImpact. They still bear the disclaimer: "Paid for by the U.S. Government." nytimes.com/2026/10/06/us/po…

NEW: A day after the president said his super PAC will pay for the "Patriotic Ads" lauding him instead of the taxpayers continuing to fund them, a new spot -- about the Maduro raid -- is airing. @ShaneGoldmacher and me nytimes.com/2026/10/06/us/po…

Trump Does Not Plan to Reimburse Taxpayers for Promotional Ads

A day after the president said his super PAC would pay for the ads, which had drawn bipartisan backlash, officials said that he meant moving forward. A new taxpayer-funded ad aired Tuesday.

NEW: Social Security is a sleeper 2026 campaign issue. Senate candidates including Talarico (D-Texas), Turek (D-Iowa), El-Sayed (D-Mich.), Osborn (I-Neb.) are calling to lift the payroll tax cap on higher incomes to avoid an automatic 22% benefit cut. The shortfall hits in 2032, or six years. A huge issue that this year's class of senators will have to deal with. nbcnews.com/politics/2026-el…

Senate candidates run on raising Social Security taxes for higher incomes to prevent benefit cuts

Social Security is projected to dip into insolvency and force a 22% benefit cut in 2032, or less than six years, meaning the class of senators elected this year will have to address the issue.

It's too pat to conclude, in essence, "gas prices --> blue wave." The public has tolerated high prices in the past and will again. The key is that this time the onus, the imperiousness, and the indifference are all unusually clear. 🧵 offmessage.net/p/donald-trum…

if you think allowing other people to marry the person of their choice curtails your "religious liberty," you're a religious fanatic who does not belong in government.

From @hamiltonnolan—"Every government will, in time, be faced with the question of what to do when the power of rich individuals begins to rival the power of the state itself." Sounds incendiary, but read carefully, it's hard to disagree. My chart...

Best argument for term limits I’ve ever heard. “I can’t do my constitutional role of protecting the country because I am afraid I might lose a seat where my job is to protect the country.” It’s kinda disgusting. You swore an oath for God’s sake.
