While my opponent Lisa McClain is investing in her wallet, she's also leaving our district behind. She's not here to serve the district, she's here to serve herself.

Yeah that's exactly what I would've expected my opponent to say 😒
Time to ban insider stock trading! No one who serves in congress should be allowed to pull this off.

NN: There's a report your husband bought stock in Musk's xAI days before news surfaced the Pentagon is expanding xAI's role in military systems. Can you assure us this wasn't based on inside info?
McCLAIN: If it was, we wouldn't have bought 100,000 shares. We would've bought a heck of a lot more

🚨⚠️This only signals to other nations that all our planes are fair game. Civilian planes are now potential targets to them.
Breaking NYT:
The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."

It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.
ICE at Midway Target and seem to possible be leaving. Lots of community members here

I was at the ICE Out For Good rallies in Lake Orion, Oxford, and Clarkston this weekend. Here's a highlight from a candidate who will actually FIGHT for your rights!

Fun fact: I like my country like I like my drinks
Without #ICE! 🧊
Another fun fact: I'm the only federal candidate in MI-09 willing to say we should abolish ICE. We could use that money for things that build this nation up instead of letting lawless agents run roughshod over the citizens of #America

If outcomes don't change no matter who wins, what does that say about where the power actually is?
#WeThePeople have the power, and we need to start acting like it. Hold our representatives to a higher standard. They should work for US, not corporate donors!

True. If they ACTED like they cared there would be more ACTION from them to stop these bad things from happening. Just because they're the minority doesn't mean they're powerless—they're WEAK!
I'm specifically talking about you Jeffries and Schumer! #Democrats #Congress

You know, I’m starting to think the reason why there’s no pushback from the Democratic Party is because half of them want all of these bad things to happen.

📣Hey Mike Johnson, your buddy Homeland Slimeball Advisor Stephen Miller might think it's fine but Greenland isn't ours nor are you mad enough about the consideration of military action! It wasn't a joke from Marco Rubio either.

MIKE JOHNSON: Here's the false narrative -- Democrats are pretending as though this affects everybody in the country. It affects 7% of Americans, this extended subsidy
CNBC: But we are talking 22 to 24 million Americans
JOHNSON: We're going to help 100% of Americans reduce their premiums

Brooke Rollins on beef prices: "To rebuild the lowest beef herd in 75 years will take a little bit of time. You think about the last administration, they had a war on American agriculture. They thought that cows created climate change."
