Wrapping up one of the most productive legislative sessions in recent history with one or two… or sixty five final bills to sign.
Thanks to my friends in Congress for making it possible.
Somehow there's always money to expand the Pentagon and bankroll Israel's assault on Gaza. But when it comes to healthcare, education, or helping working people, we're told there's nothing left.
America's priorities are failing people here and abroad.
“The President is right that his tariffs are at work—in destroying U.S. jobs and raising prices. The U.S. has lost some 75,000 manufacturing jobs since January 2025, including 25,900 in motor vehicle and parts production.”@WSJ https://t.co/QVLG6tlJkV
🚨 HE'S STEALING THE MIDTERMS
On July 9, 2026, @realDonaldTrump FIRED the two remaining Democratic commissioners of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) via email.
This leaves the EAC with NO ACTIVE COMMISSIONERS and without a quorum, meaning it cannot perform key functions like certifying voting systems, distributing grants, or updating resources ahead of the 2026 midterms.
The EAC:
- Provides standards for voting equipment to ensure reliability, security, and accessibility.
- Tests and certifies voting equipment nationwide so states can use reliable, federally vetted technology.
- Provides federal funding to states for election improvements, new equipment, security enhancements.
- Maintains the National Mail Voter Registration Form.
- Works to improve voter participation, including for people with disabilities, and supports overall election integrity without directly running elections.
Since @realDonaldTrump knows the SAVE Act is dead in the water, he's rigging the system in his favor and to benefit Republicans.
Trump can now nominate new commissioners (subject to Senate confirmation) more aligned with HIS election views on the very issues the SAVE Act pushed to implement. A Trump appointed loyalist MAGA Election Assistance Commission (EAC) could then issue guidance favoring those SAVE Act priorities for years to come.
Although, the EAC is a four-member bipartisan commission, and under the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA), it explicitly states that no more than two commissioners may belong to the same political party.
THIS IS ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!
And the U.S. Supreme Court gave him this authority.
Following reports that Trump fired the leadership on the Election Assistance Commission, lawmakers, election officials and voting rights advocates are sounding the alarm that the move is an attempt to meddle with voting in the months before midterms.

NEWS: Republican U.S. Senate candidate in Iowa Ashley Hinson says her family can barely afford groceries. Her disclosures say she’s worth up to $7M richer since taking office. And the “all my stocks are sold” claim? Also false. The receipts 👇 https://t.co/ViK64xghxh
Greenland isn’t surrounded by Chinese and Russian ships. There hasn’t been $19.2 trillion invested in the US under Trump. Trump hasn’t settled eight wars. Biden’s military aid to Ukraine wasn’t worth hundreds of billions of dollars. The 2020 election wasn’t rigged.

Companies associated with Trump's sons have received $1 billion and counting in government contracts since he returned to office.
We've never seen anything like this coming out of the White House.

EXCLUSIVE | @InsiderGeo × -@SONARROW_OSINT
South of Cyprus, in European waters and just offshore from the UK's RAF Akrotiri Air Base, one of the most important and least discussed segments of Russia's shadow fleet continues to operate.
Since January 2026, we have identified 226 ship-to-ship (STS) transfers in the area, exposing a structured offshore crude oil laundering network in the heart of the Eastern Mediterranean.
At its center is TRITONEA (formerly LEO II, IMO 9243318), a VLCC involved in more than 70 STS operations roughly one-third of all recorded transfers.
This network functions as the laundering layer of Russia's shadow fleet. Russian crude is transferred, blended, split, and redistributed between successive tankers, making its origin progressively harder to trace.
All of this is taking place in European waters, within sight of one of the UK's most strategically important military bases in the Mediterranean.
The real scandal is not only that well over 100 million barrels may have passed through this offshore system. It is that the mechanism is visible, repeated, and structured.
Yet only a handful of the vessels involved is under sanctions while the overwhelming majority continue operating freely.
This network is only one piece of a much larger ecosystem. In a forthcoming thread, we'll break down the different sub-fleets that together form Russia's shadow fleet.
🚨NEW: FEMA is threatening to withhold terrorism-prevention funds unless states adopt Trump’s anti-voting demands — including citizenship checks and paper ballots.
Trump can’t run state elections, so he’s trying to use public safety money as leverage.

Through the same schemes, their investors lost $2.3 billion.
