Mark Zuckerberg should understand that Republicans won’t always be in charge. If Democrats take the Senate, he will be forced to answer to Congress about his company’s abuse of tax credits to avoid paying its fair share while it builds AI data centers.

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

Vote Republican in November if you want more of this

The Trump administration will start selecting lawyers for unaccompanied minors. Meaning the judges work for Donald Trump, the prosecutors work for Trump, and now the attorneys representing children will work for Trump. This is a rigged system that will result in more untold horrors for these kids.

My investigators have confirmed the Trump administration is hiding interview documents it conducted with some of Epstein’s banks, and there could be more. There’s no limit to how far Scott Bessent, Kash Patel and Todd Blanche will go to continue this cover up.

Yesterday I tried to fast track my bill to ban data center development on public lands, like this one in Oregon. Republicans blocked it. In case there was any doubt, it’s clear Republicans are all in on Trump’s plan to hijack your public lands for data centers.
