Israel is far and away the best ally the United States has in the Middle East, and our cooperative programs with them strengthen our national security by giving our warfighters access to cutting edge technologies. Section 224 of the National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2027 doesn’t create any new programs within the Department of Defense. It simply adds transparency and improves efficiency by designating a single official to coordinate existing initiatives. In no way does it give away command and control of our military operations, personnel, or equipment. Misinformation in relation to Israel and our close partnership with them has always run rampant, and bad actors are all too happy to stoke these flames when given the opportunity. Any narrative that this legislation is somehow ceding control to another country in any way is categorically false and misleading. The NDAA strengthens American sovereignty and American national security first and foremost.
Local governments took $32 billion in property taxes in 2019.
Today, they are taking $60 billion.
Meanwhile, at the state level, Florida has reduced spending four years in a row — even though we’ve had both inflation and population growth.
Exempting homesteads can be done. And it it will help millions of Floridians.
In 2022, incomes for the bottom 80 percent of earners were slightly lower after taxes and transfers compared to 2020 and 2021, driven by expiring pandemic-era policies.

Trump failed to learn the lessons from Vietnam that most others did: When you go to war your goal is total, unequivocal surrender of your enemy. #IranWar@SenateGOP@HouseGOP
The decision to withdraw a second armored brigade from Eastern Europe is reprehensible and embarrassing to our country. The SECDEF did this with no concessions from Russia and with no coordination with Poland, a model ally.

Democrats under Biden crushed working families with 9% inflation and gas prices averaging over $5/gal.
High prices are a feature of the Democrat's energy plan.
Given the chance, they’ll do it again.
individual polls are meaningless, but the polling average still holds up as something meaningful to pay attention to. And this is not good for Republicans as the midterms approach.
Poland spends nearly 5% of its GDP on defense and has done what we ask of our NATO allies. Blindsiding them while canceling a U.S. armored brigade deployment sends a weak message to Putin and a terrible message to our allies.
Russia is starting to lose ground in Ukraine
Our tracker suggests it has suffered its first sustained net loss since October 2023

Infuriating how Trump is being played by the Iranian dictators. Stall... stall... stall is their #1 strategy. Unconditional surrender should be the only objective at this point. @SenateGOP@HouseGOP@marcthiessen
The President could fish or cut bait on Iran and bring some resolution there to help the economy. But he won’t.
The President could end all his tariffs to stimulate the economy. But he’s been convinced by people infatuated with the 1950’s that they work. They don’t.
So the GOP will head to the midterms in this environment.
The guy campaigned on lowering prices and then loudly prioritized a core economic policy that's specifically designed to increase prices - and THEN he bragged about the policy (repeatedly) and called the affordability issue a "hoax."
Huge mystery why Americans are so upset!
