.@kentstrang: What we can do to grow our economy and build on the economic progress we're seeing right now is PASS the One Big Beautiful Bill — "which will provide permanence and certainty to small businesses and American families who need that tax relief."
We need to stop the backdoor searches of Americans’ data and prevent the government from spying on U.S. citizens without a warrant based on probable cause.
The DHS shutdown is finally over
And the FISA 702 reauthorization vote just failed—because it didn’t contain a warrant to protect Americans from U.S. citizen queries
Long day
Big wins
Stay tuned
Pretty hard to see the path ahead for FISA here with a week to go.
“Next week it gets real,” @LeaderJohnThune said.
Prior House holdouts noncommittal; Dems won't deal with Pulte in place.

1984 should be fiction NOT a how to guide for the government.
We MUST protect our fundamental rights enshrined in the Bill of Rights!
No reauthorization of Section 702 should happen without a clear warrant requirement to protect Americans' data.
Any reauthorization of FISA Section 702 should include a warrant requirement for searches on Americans’ data.
We must protect constitutionally protected civil liberties!
These protections do not impact foreign intelligence collection.
Any reauthorization of FISA Section 702 should include the following reforms:
✅ Warrant Requirement for Searches on Americans’ Data: Require judicial approval before intelligence agencies can search the communications of U.S. persons stored in the 702 database. This reform protects civil liberties without affecting the collection of foreign intelligence.
✅Close the Data Broker Loophole: Prohibit government agencies from purchasing Americans’ sensitive personal data from data brokers as a means of circumventing warrant requirements. A warrant requirement is meaningless if agencies can simply buy the data instead.
✅Fix the ECSP Definition: Restore reasonable bounds to the electronic communications service provider definition so that ordinary businesses, nonprofits, and property owners are not conscripted as government surveillance agents.
✅Strengthen the Amici Curiae Process at the FISA Court: Ensure that independent, non-government experts have meaningful access to proceedings and materials to provide the oversight the FISA Court’s secretive process demands.
Scott Bessent just delivered a political knockout punch to Ron Wyden and son 🤯
A Senate hearing took a tense turn when Senator Ron Wyden pressed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on matters related to Jeffrey Epstein. Bessent responded by bringing up reports involving a past meeting between Wyden’s son and Epstein, leading to a heated exchange between the two. #reaction #politics
The GOP must pay close attention to this ahead of midterms & deliver lower prices at the pump by:
✅Eliminating the Jones Act
✅Cutting red tape
✅Streamlining our permitting processes
Raiding emergency savings for gas will not go over well at in the ballot box.
"Affordability is the number one issue for Americans."

Kent Strang of @AFPhq recently joined @trish_regan to discuss the importance of lowering energy costs, meeting the American people where they are, and what the administration can do to provide relief and win in November.
As consumer sentiment hits a new low, conservatives MUST focus on driving SOLUTIONS that will lower prices:
✅Cut wasteful spending
✅Slash red tape
✅Increase energy production
✅Lower trade barriers w/ allies
Republicans need to pay attention to polling like this & hammer home what lowers costs: In addition to the WFTC, they MUST go further to cut red tape & unleash energy production to bring down the cost of living.
Most Americans view the U.S. economy negatively and disapprove of President Donald Trump’s handling of inflation, with many saying they are struggling financially and feeling stressed about money, a CBS News/YouGov poll released Sunday found. https://t.co/RoWrfvq9Hn
