Yes I can. I was quoting a farmer that I had a conversation with. Cotton clipped that part out. I’ve been endorsed by American steelworkers, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, and farmers. They support me because I have plans to create good American jobs. We haven’t heard from Tom Cotton in 10 years. Now he’s spent $15 mil telling you who he says I am. Showing our kids attack ads on YouTube everyday and telling them that dirty politics is normal. Why doesn’t he tell us what’s he’s done and where he’s been instead of demonizing the person who decided to run against him?

What's scoop on Alex Karp and Tom Cotton? Karp is the CEO of Palantir and one of the largest donors behind attack ads against Hallie Shoffner. Palantir has a $10 billion enterprise budget with the US Army. Cotton oversees their budget as Chair of the Senate Select Committee.

Armed agents at your door asking if you’re registered to vote? That’s not fighting election fraud. That’s intimidation, plain and simple. cbsnews.com/news/federal-age…

Federal agents knock on doors to track down possible noncitizen voters ahead of midterms

Armed and in uniform, agents from the Department of Homeland Security have been knocking on doors to ask residents about their immigration status whether they're registered to vote.

Montanans are paying $6 a gallon for diesel because Washington started a war in Iran. Their fix? Cut deals with Putin. I’ll build American energy here at home, stand up to petro-dictators, and work to end this war so costs come down for good.

CBS identified Illinois based Three Z Printing as the holder of the permit associated with the fake transgender mailers. One of the owners, Matt Zerrusen, is based in Dallas. His Instagram shows pictures with Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump, and comments from local Republicans.

Trump’s Transportation Secretary used the word “libtard” while standing next to his daughter with Down syndrome. Then he defended it. Sean Duffy is a terrible father and a failed human being.

When it was reported he expressed this privately during the first term, I asked him whether he said it. He wouldn’t fess up. And his aides screamed for us to get out of the Oval. He’s just letting the Klan talk rip now. xitter.cf/kylegriffin1/status/95…

Unconscionable that Republicans are using bureaucratic hurdles to deliberately deprive people of food. Sadly, Arkansas & Gov. Sanders have been at the forefront of hardheartedness. And French Hill & Tom Cotton both voted for it. #arpx #arnews #arleg theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

Trump administration has pushed off 13% of Americans enrolled in food stamps

Stakeholders concerned more people at risk of food insecurity after One Big Beautiful Act took effect

If and when the GOP loses elections in Texas, @StephenM will (as he already is) try to scapegoat someone else. But this is your proof that some number of voters are SPECIFICALLY voting because of Stephen Miller's murder squads.

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

No biggy… a little declaration of Capitol for the Day… drag a few cabinet/staff folks from their office, fly a little state airplane up, do some photo ops, and end the day at Arts on Main with a campaign fundraiser sponsored by State Senator Jim Petty.

The fact that Trump will remove tariffs to help Republicans win elections, but he won’t remove tariffs to help Americans afford necessities, tells you exactly what his priorities are.

French Hill was hanging out with Jim Jordan in Arkansas last night. Jordan has been accused by former Ohio State wrestlers of knowing about sexual abuse and doing nothing. Just another reason to vote for Chris Jones. French Hill has got to go.

Great to see so many Arkansans in Benton last night for our Get Out the Vote Rally with special guest Congressman Jim Jordan! Thank you to Lt. Governor Leslie Rutledge, Congressman Bruce Westerman, Secretary of State Cole Jester, and the many other guests who joined us as we head into Election Day. Early voting is underway! Let’s turn out and support Republicans up and down the ticket!
