Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out.

The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing.

Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees.

The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in.

Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal.

The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals.

The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion.

This is your tax money.

It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children.

This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close.

We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket.

Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

It's been almost exactly one year since the six of us made a 90-second video simply restating the law, and the President cannot let it go.

Based on that video, he ordered his then-Attorney General to ‘investigate, arrest and hang’ us for sedition. Last February, the Attorney General saluted and took us to court, trying to criminally indict us for sedition. A group of jurors, whom I will never meet, unanimously threw it out. The President and the Attorney General came for me again in the last few weeks for yet another freedom of speech issue.

There is no clearer telltale sign of a disassembling authoritarian leader than when he tries to prosecute those who simply speak up against him. It’s a classic move to try and weaponize the government against your critics — I’ve seen it in places like Eastern Europe and the Middle East, over and over. It’s also a desperate move to distract from the generational loss he’s brought to his party.

So I say to President Trump and his Attorney General: Bring it. It would demonstrate to the country just how you’re hitting rock bottom. And if that lets us then begin to recover and repair from your disastrous leadership, please just get on with it.

Scott Colom’s father: In victory you want to not be critical of other people. Cindy Hyde-Smith is a person who's been in service many years, and she's our competitor, but she's not our enemy. Scott's going to be her senator and her neighbor's senator, and he's not going to offer any criticism of her….

Must watch: Meet Chuck Hubbard, who is set to defeat Virginia Foxx in a safe Trump +18 district in North Carolina.

Just a normal guy, he decided to run for office to stand up for his LGBTQ daughter and defend her rights in Trump’s America.

Wow. This is amazing!

The incoming House Oversight Committee chairman @RobertGarcia just outlined the four main investigations that Democrats will be opening when they take back the house in January.

It’s about time!!

I don’t even know what to do with myself after these midterm results

[Jeff Sale @jsale]

@DecodingFoxNews It's not because we hate the other guys more. I am so proud of the quality of the candidates fielded by the Democrats. This is very promising.

[Jeff Sale @jsale]

@DecodingFoxNews It is so difficult to watch this. I can't wait for the good stuff.

[Jeff Sale @jsale]

@DecodingFoxNews My God, they all make me so sick.
