If I had a nickel for every time Donald Trump was inaugurated as President of the United States, I'd have two nickels--which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
.@SecScottBessent on tariffs refunds:
"The Democrat AGs who filed the ridiculous lawsuit against this Administration wanted the money to go back to the payer of record — so that is corporate welfare. The American people had that money, and if I hear another Democrat legislator make the inane remark 'the American people should get the money' — the American people HAD THE MONEY in the U.S. Treasury and we were forced to give it back."
@rumpfshaker@PeterSchorschFL If you told me that archaeologists uncovered an ancient prophecy that fortold the coming of a zombie apocalype unless Charlie Crist was in office or on the ballot in every election cycle, I would believe you without hesitation.
@mattyglesias Surely this isn't going to a Gary Hart-style "How dare you make such insinuation. There is nothing going on here. Please come and report on this so everyone can see there is nothing going on here" situation. Surely.
@AP4Liberty Donalds will win, Collins second. I'm gonna come in with the spicy take that Fishback will underperform and come in fourth behind Paul Renner.
This is totally wrong.
The senate helps small states but the impact of the electoral college on Kentucky is to make it — like most states — totally irrelevant in presidential campaigns because doing even five or six points better or worse than baseline won't flip the state.
I'm devastated for the family and friends of Jason Arday.
He faced an unacceptable public hounding and campaign of abuse. I know many Londoners will be angry and upset this evening.
Jason Arday was the victim of a pernicious public shaming that other people in his position simply wouldn’t have faced.
His death was a tragedy, but once again it should be a wake up call for all of us.
Oh. I didn’t realize progressives believe men cannot be classified as women without 2-3 years of wrong-sex hormones. Weird how not even that requirement appears in a single progressive law or policy letting men into women’s prisons, abuse shelters, bathrooms, locker rooms.
On July 21st, 2026, NBC News reported that Republican Florida Congressman Cory Mills was under criminal investigation by the Department of Justice.
Like virtually every federal investigation, this one began with a single suspect before expanding to include others.
A government whistleblower who approached my campaign has confirmed that this investigation has expanded to include U.S. Congressman Byron Donalds, who along with Cory Mills, is under investigation for federal sex trafficking.
Federal prosecutors are looking at two dates in question: May 17th, 2024, and November 19th, 2024, dates when Congressmen Mills and Donalds are said to have traveled to the MGM National Harbor—a luxury hotel resort in Oxon Hill, Maryland, where they solicited, procured, and paid women for explicit sexual acts.
In the coming hours, Byron Donalds will call this investigation a “political attack.” It’s not. The Department of Justice, led by a Trump appointee of the same political party as Byron Donalds, is not investigating him for “political reasons.”
They are investigating him because there is credible evidence that he committed a serious crime.
My campaign was approached by a whistleblower who provided details that only someone with direct knowledge of a federal investigation could know.
In fact, this whistleblower informed us that Cory Mills was under federal investigation before it was publicly reported by NBC News on July 21, 2026, as evidenced by this letter (attached) to the DOJ that was sent on July 20, 2026 that detailed the existence of the investigation into Cory Mills and Byron Donalds.
My legal team has spent weeks attempting to independently verify this investigation, and we have done just that.
For example, text messages (attached) sent from Cory Mills himself to a third party confirm that he and Congressman Byron Donalds were both at the MGM Harbor on both of the dates that are now the focus of federal prosecutors.
Before I came here today, I tried every possible avenue to clear and exonerate Congressman Donalds, including reviewing a letter from a former federal prosecutor who asked the Department of Justice to confirm whether “any component of the Department of Justice is currently investigating or has investigated” Byron Donalds.
And they refused to comment.
They refused to do so despite clearing Florida Republican Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna of any criminal conduct in a letter just two weeks ago.
Let me be crystal clear: Our Constitution entitles Congressmen Mills and Donalds to the presumption of innocence. But while they deserve that presumption, voters deserve transparency.
I specifically gave Congressman Donalds the opportunity to make the fact he is under investigation public. But he chose not to.
This is the first and last time I will discuss this publicly. My campaign will not run any television ads or mailers detailing any of this because this is not political. It's about transparency for Florida voters.
