More evidence that hating Jews and trying to destroy Israel is a really bad idea.

Las Vegas has done a great job capitalizing on professional and college sports. Naysayers abounded but they've all been proven wrong. The Golden Knights, the Raiders, the Aces and UNLV have brought great things to the city. The Athletics are right behind. Waiting for our NBA team!
It’s undeniable – Las Vegas is a sports destination! As the sports industry continues to grow, I’ll keep partnering with and working alongside Las Vegas sports organizations to create lasting opportunities for young Nevadans to get involved, including through @unlv’s new Sports Tourism Hospitality Program.

The only thing that's going to change and the Senate is the direction of the money flow from special interests. As always, the needs of Nevada citizens will be nowhere in the equation.
A Senate majority doesn’t mean anything if you don’t use it. Donald Trump is still president, but there is a lot @SenateDems can do to deliver concrete, positive change for working families. When my new colleagues are sworn in, my priority will be to pass common sense bills to lower costs for workers across this country.

Nice work Chuck. @ChuckMuth
Nevada Democrats swept all six statewide offices on Tuesday, including the governor’s office. Democrats have not held all statewide offices since John F. Kennedy was president.

Removing violators of our immigration laws from the country is an essential duty of the federal government. Allowing violators of our immigration laws to vote is a felony that should be prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law. Serving in office as a result of illegal voting is a heinous betrayal of democratic legitimacy and the rule of law.
Elevating the main architect of Trump’s cruel immigration agenda who enabled ICE’s worst impulses is the complete opposite of the message voters sent on Tuesday. Let me be absolutely clear: I will stand up to protect our communities and push back against Stephen Miller.

Stephen Miller is the chief architect of Trump's racist, cruel, and un-American campaign of terror across our country. Innocent people have died and families have been torn apart because of the policies he's eagerly pushed. Miller should be under investigation, not running the White House.

The Vice President is a creation of corporate leaders in tech industry. Like all the Republicans in office today, his loyalty is not with you, but with his masters.
JD Vance is experiencing a Vivek Ramaswamy like descension and loss of popularity. I think his political career is over.

Great, he's completely dishonest and should not be allowed any further role in government at any level.

Way too late, JD. After years of profiting from the Trump train, it’s not okay to suddenly start hating Jews and Israel. Voters wanted America First, an end to the Pentagon's wars, and prices to actually go down—you had years to deliver. This post-mortem is just a weak attempt to resurrect an already failed 2028 campaign. America deserve better than you and your pals.
One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"—whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up. So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? "No," he told me. "We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us." Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026. There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasn’t sharp enough down the stretch. I’m sure that’s true. But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone. Another pollster—one of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday we’d lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were: 1) End the war 2) Focus on cost of living/inflation 3) Put America First 4) Change our relationship to Israel Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. While many spent Monday attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it turns out her political advice was sound. (She’s also a great person.) In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcement—by focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance. But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you. The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night. If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest. But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there. I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, “I told you so”: you’re right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Let’s take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.

Congratulations Seattle voters. Another notch for your gun. "Homegrown is closing its last two stores and its catering business, ending a 17-year-old Seattle sandwich chain that spent its final stretch fighting through a union strike, the loss of 10 stores, a state tax crackdown and one of the highest minimum wages in America. The union contract its workers celebrated in 2024 did not save a single store." seattlered.com/seattle-red/j…

"How do you have no investment acumen, and then all of a sudden get elected to Congress, and then you're outperforming Warren Buffett?"
🚨 WOW. Gov. Ron DeSantis is GOING OFF right now post-blue tsunami: "I see the ad, 'so and so voted against releasing the Epstein Files.' I'm like, that's a bad vote. We ran as Republicans saying we need to do that. And you have people in Congress voting against release when the Attorney General said she had all the all this horrific stuff on her desk and that people are gonna be held accountable?!" "It's untenable when you have people going in trading stocks! I've never traded stocks since I've been in elected office. How do you have no investment acumen, and then all of a sudden get elected to Congress, and then you're outperforming Warren Buffett?" "I saw how they were running and it was a rejection of what was going on in DC." I am SO thankful Florida held the line. We avoided some of the MOST horrendous US House wipeouts (still losing some) and our statewide remained red. The legislature is still red 2028 is our only next chance to make a dent in this.

He actually believes this stuff. He is a deranged human being. He should not be wearing a badge.
💥REPORT: Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw defends his incompetent investigators who interviewed the Bridal Path shooting suspect in his hospital bed — then let him walk, because they had "no evidence" he'd been shot at the scene. Shouldn't a bullet wound count as evidence?

Affordable Care Act. Where is it? We were promised this years ago. Affordable, no pre-existing conditions, you can keep your doctor.
Health insurance premiums for some Nevadans who purchase their insurance through Nevada Health Link may double in price because Republicans in Congress refused to work with Democrats to extend the ACA’s enhanced premium tax credits. Senate Republicans need to come to the table and work with us to bring back the enhanced credits Democrats created so more Nevadans can afford the care they need without breaking the bank. As always, I will keep fighting to protect the original ACA tax credits that Nevadans rely on.

This is what voters in Washington want. A violent Progressive Leftist paradise.
They told us nobody would leave. Mayor Wilson called it "super overblown." Then she waved bye to the millionaires. Here's who's waving back: Bezos to Florida. Fisher Investments to Texas. Howard Schultz to Miami. Starbucks sending 2,000 corporate jobs to Nashville. Moment to Wyoming. Soak & Sage expanding in Nashville, not here. Now NIC Global. Closing its Woodinville plant. 103 jobs. Moving to Spokane and Tennessee. Nearly 1 in 4 Washington employers say they're thinking about leaving. The 9.9% income tax doesn't even start until 2029. They're not waiting. Who's next?

True, today is quite a different situation from when we were all on board with President Biden destroying our businesses during COVID. The $5.00/gal. gas was a treat too! O happy days!!
Nevadans are sick and tired of what Donald Trump and Washington Republicans have been doing in the last couple of years: driving up costs for hardworking families with across-the-board tariffs and a reckless war in Iran. Our vote is our voice — and when we all speak up, we win. Visit iwillvote.com/nv to make a plan to cast your ballot and send a message to Trump that enough is enough.

Expensive gas was okay during COVID. Losing your job was okay during COVID. Having your business destroyed by the government was okay during COVID. Now all of the sudden these are problems?

The cost of living has been outrageous since COVID. Somehow it's only a problem now? After next week's election, the cost of living won't be a problem anymore. Nothing in the economy is going to change, the problem will simply disappear from the list of talking points.
Nevadans are getting killed by the cost of living. I’ll fight to bring down the cost of groceries, gas, and health care.

True.
Why the West is being flooded with immigrants. Western countries that use broad-based consumption taxes such as Value-Added Tax (VAT) or Goods and Services Tax (GST) have treated immigration as one tool for expanding their tax bases and easing the fiscal pressures created by aging native populations. By admitting large numbers of working-age migrants, governments can increase both direct income-tax collections from employment and indirect consumption-tax revenues (VAT/GST) generated by the additional household spending of those new residents.
