CAGOP Chairman 07-11, Presidential spox for @TedCruz in ‘16. Senior advisor in ‘18. Almost CA Lt. Gov. in ‘14. I lecture on politics and explain it on TV. 🇺🇸

.@TedCruz, "Texas is my home. It's where I've raised my family, where I've fought for conservative principles, and where I've had the extraordinary honor of representing 32 million Texans in the United States Senate, said Sen. Cruz.

“The work of rebuilding our party begins right here. That's why Saving Texas is establishing its headquarters in Austin, in the capital of the Lone Star State.

“That means recruiting strong candidates who share our principles, rebuilding the grassroots infrastructure that has powered Republican victories for decades, and raising the resources necessary to compete in every corner of our state.

“I'm committed to doing the hard work of rebuilding our party in the state, and this organization and team will be an important part of that effort.”

This is the cycle from hell.

This is a sharp observation

It is so weird to me how so much of Podcastistan invested in the Epstein story while promoting and trying to normalize the Tate brothers and Russell Brand.

We need to shut down Detroit until we can figure out what the hell is going on.

[Newt Gingrich @newtgingrich]

Before last Tuesday, I saw Vice President J.D. Vance as the clear frontrunner for the 2028 Republican nomination.
The election results have changed that calculation.
Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Brian Kemp, Ron DeSantis, Glenn Youngkin and others now deserve a closer look.

ReformUK’s entire argument for two years has been: we’re going to win because we’re winning.

That argument is gone.

Their entire mission has been, according to them, to destroy the Conservative Party.

They missed their shot. @KemiBadenoch will be the next UK Prime Minister.

Kemi Badenoch will cut £36 billion from the welfare bill and get Britain working again.

[Steve Guest @SteveGuest]

Sen. Ted Cruz: "Hear me now: We will bring Texas back. I am filled with hope and optimism. Texas will be red again. We have not suddenly become a bunch of tofu-eating, gun-banning, tutu-wearing pinko commie liberals. That ain't us. Texas is still Texas.

We will rebuild as a true blue-collar party, not by embracing socialism, but by being real free-market conservatives. The way we built the Texas economic miracle, in the first place, and we will build and rebuild America as well.

When the zealots overreach, and they will, we will stand ready to lead in the direction of freedom, o prosperity, of safety, and security, and common sense, we will return to a new dawn of freedom in America. It is dark right now, but it is always darkest before the dawn, and morning is coming. That is my fervent prayer, and that is my commitment to you."

The federal government charges 34.75% in tariffs and duties on Canadian lumber.

The National Association of Homebuilders estimates recent tariffs add $10,900 to the cost of a new home. A 2025 study found a 25% tariff tax on Canadian lumber alone would increase mortgage payments by $26 - $41 per month on a $420,00 home.

We are also imposing tariffs of 50% on copper used for pipes and wires, 25% on kitchen cabinets and vanities, and 15% on HVAC systems.

[Stephen Moore @StephenMoore]

The reason homes are expensive? Regulations.

Regulatory costs have soared 40% since 2001 and now top $130,000 per home.

If we’re serious about tackling America’s housing crunch, let’s cut the red tape!

[Ron Nehring @RonNehring]

@Patterdude So is @Patterdude!

[Ron Nehring @RonNehring]

I just bought a $1999 refrigerator.

It would have been about $1649 if not for the federal tariffs tax which I (not “South Korea”) paid.

I also paid $155 in sales tax.

Total cost $2154. Of which 25% is tariff tax and sales tax.

To pay for it, I had to earn $3,420 in gross salary, of which $1266 went to fed and state taxes.

So for $3,420 in labor I got a refrigerator worth $1,649 (48%).

52% went to the government in taxes.

Holy. Cow.

[Frank Luntz @FrankLuntz]

Hispanic voters are primarily driven by economic issues (45%) rather than immigration (15%).

That led to a big Latino swing toward Trump in 2024, and a swing back to Democrats in 2026.

Bad news for California. Bad news for veterans. Bad news for people with disabilities.

Thanks for your service Jeff. You have been an inspiration.

The federal government is so bad at this they can’t figure out how to make the Post Office — a government protected monopoly — not lose money. When they figure this out I’ll listen to them on trade. In the meantime, we don’t elect politicians to tell us what toasters we can buy.

Freedom.

[Ron Nehring @RonNehring]

Farmers get put on welfare. Oh, sorry, “Market Facilitation” payments. Foreign countries massively retaliate against American farm exports, then the feds shell out welfare payments to farmers to compensate. We are $40T in debt and handing money out to farmers who can’t sell their crops.

https://t.co/4yWZOoweCS

[Ron Nehring @RonNehring]

Tariff taxes put Americans out of work because the higher input costs and foreign retaliation outweigh whatever “benefit” the tax-induced higher prices produce.

[Ron Nehring @RonNehring]

These tariff taxes distort the market and companies take advantage. In 2018 we imposed 12% new tariff taxes on washing machines. Guess what. They raised prices on dryers too — even though they weren’t subject to the tax. Tariffs make markets less competitive.

https://t.co/wp6U0IQovI

[Ron Nehring @RonNehring]

One third of the tariff taxes price increases came as a result of domestic manufacturers price gouging and raising their prices because their competition just got more expensive.
