It was an honor to present President Trump with my own 'Man of the Century' award. For doing more for America than any other President.

I was asked today on MSNOW about the recent ad in the Ohio governor’s race. It’s completely inappropriate and has no place in American politics. It should be taken off the air, and those responsible should apologize. Here’s what I had to say.

SCOOP: The State Dept has started asking career diplomats up for promotion if they voted for Trump in 16, 20, 24. Federal law prohibits politically based hiring for career staff. State tells @washingtonsun it's screening for "fidelity" and execution of the president's vision👇

‘Wildly unacceptable’: Trump’s moves on Russia are testing GOP patience

Republicans are frustrated, and one is threatening “punitive budgetary action.” But with the midterms two weeks away, most are deferring to the president.

^Correcting previous tweet which said the suspicious envelope was sent to the old DSA address. The DSA address was included as the return address of the envelope. The address it was sent to was blacked out in the image in the Senate notice. DSA has said it was not involved.

Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.

Six Republicans joins Dems in calling for Trump to withdraw from his Russia diesel deal, calling it "a gift to our adversary and a betrayal" of allies. Tillis, Collins, Armstrong, Murkowski, McConnell, Cornyn. Of course, only two of them expect to be senators next year.
