Exclusive: Former Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) tells me he'd vote for James Talarico over Ken Paxton if he lived in Texas.
He also urged Dems to vote for Susan Collins in Maine.
“Whenever the parties back off from character, it doesn’t inure to the benefit of the country."

@SenBillCassidy is a class act: “When you participate in democracy, sometimes it doesn’t turn out the way you want it to. But you don’t pout. You don’t whine. You thank the voters for the privilege of representing the state or the country for as long as you’ve had that privilege”
“As followers of Christ, we should seek to live peaceably and lovingly with other children of God who do not share our values and do not have the covenant obligations we have assumed.
“In a democratic government we should seek ‘fairness for all.’ In countless circumstances, strangers’ suspicion or even hostility gradually give way to friendship when personal contacts produce mutual respect.”

Great being back with @colbertlateshow@StephenAtHome on set last night. Good to have my Senate rug back! Happy to help a great cause like World Central Kitchen.
Stephen Colbert revealed that Jeff Flake was the winning bidder for his “stolen” Senate rug Monday night, bringing the former senator onstage to reclaim it. https://t.co/CcBoRyh9ML
In December 2025, former US Senator @BenSasse announced that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. That's the primary topic for this @UncKnowledge conversation about mortality, faith, and what truly matters when time is short.
Talking to host @P_M_Robinson, Sasse reflects on "redeeming the time"—holding ambition lightly, loving family more deliberately, and resisting the urge to make politics or professional success the center of life.
The discussion also covers Sasse's thoughts on the failures of Congress; the dangers of a fragmented, attention-starved republic; the crisis of higher education; and the moral challenges of technological abundance.
He speaks candidly and movingly about regret, forgiveness, prayer, and suffering—arguing that while death is a real enemy, it does not get the final word. Watch the full conversation on X:
Mr. President, NATO member countries HAVE been there for us. In fact, more than 40 Danish soldiers lost their lives in Afghanistan, as part of a NATO mission, after the United States was attacked on 9/11.
