A young man at our town hall asked if I was pushing class warfare.
I told him: “We already have class warfare in this country — billionaires are waging war on the rest of us.”

So let me get this straight. An A.I. startup gave to Sean Duffy’s son in law’s campaign for congress.
Then Sean Duffy and the FAA gave that same company a 12 year, $875M contract for their A.I. air traffic control system.
That same traffic system went live nationwide Nov. 10.
Three days later, the FAA had to ground all flights because the system failed.
Ok. Lock em all up.

I’ve spoken with 60 air traffic controllers tonight about what Sean Duffy said at the White House today. None of them are buying what he said because they said these types of switches that the FAA is doing, they don’t happen during the day, they don’t happen during busy times like a Friday afternoon. They’re doing these midweek, middle of the night when there is no air traffic going on. The controllers were saying, “We don’t buy that this is actually what’s happening, the reason that Sean Duffy is saying this has happened.”

Katie Wiles, daughter of former White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, is a partner at Continental Strategy, whose reported federal lobbying income rose from $1.8 million in 2024 to more than $27 million in 2025 and reached $35.7 million in the first nine months of 2026.
Continental promoted Katie to director in its Jacksonville and DC offices on November 8, 2024, one day after President-elect Trump named her mother chief of staff. The promotion added lobbying and business development to her existing communications role.
The firm holds a $35,000-a-month lobbying contract with the government of Republika Srpska, the pro-Russian Bosnian Serb entity. During an August 2026 trip that Continental says was for a separate US corporate client, Katie was photographed holding a rifle at a shooting range alongside the entity’s interior minister, Željko Budimir.
On September 21, 2026, Susie Wiles met at the White House with Željka Cvijanović, the Serb member of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s three-member presidency. A White House official says Continental partner Alex Garcia, not Katie, arranged the meeting.
The developments come amid allegations by former HHS senior adviser and MAHA advocate Calley Means that Susie Wiles’s office stalled MAHA policies while courting industry money for the midterms. Means also says Continental’s revenue surge was “tied to Katie Wiles working there.”
A Wiles spokesperson calls the claims “outrageous, defamatory, and provably false.” Continental calls the claims about the firm “inaccurate and baseless.”

The Supreme Court let the bulldozers back into Big Bend National Park today. It's Stephen Miller's first day as chief of staff.
Texas ranchers oppose this wall. A Bush-appointed judge blocked it.
In January, Democrats run Congress. I will vote to cut off every dollar for it.

This will be a younger Senate. The average age of the 15 departing senators is 70 years old. Their replacements are coming in at roughly age 55. That will bring the average age of the U.S. Senate down from 65.4 to at least 62.8 years. @AlexandraSSharp foreignpolicy.com/2026/11/06…
