America’s farmers have a hard enough job as it is. They shouldn’t have to overcome artificial service barriers to keep their farm machinery running, or pay inflated prices for critical equipment. And they shouldn’t suffer retaliation for fixing their own equipment, or shopping around for better prices.

I really hope this isn’t true. The Senator Blackburn I know and saw in action would not do this. Sam is a generational talent and should be swiftly confirmed.
This is extraordinary and bad. Sam Adkisson is a dream pick for President Trump appointing someone with superb credentials and the potential to be a judge for a long time. I'm shocked. Failing to return a blue slip on Sam is something I'd expect from Sheldon Whitehouse!

Americans are losing billions of dollars to scammers impersonating governments and businesses, often using Big Tech’s platforms. The FTC is fighting back. Today, we seek comment on whether we need new tools to aid in our fight against online scams.

Least surprising thing ever that @USAttyHolyoak is delivering BIG for the people of Utah. She is a superstar.

If you are stealing from the American people, the Trump Administration will hold you accountable.
FTC takes historic action against multilevel marketing operator Amway for unfair and deceptive business practices: /1
Let me be clear: If you harm Americans, you will hear from us.
This is the largest monetary recovery obtained by the FTC against an MLM in our agency’s history. Nearly all of that money will go back to consumers were harmed.
The firms agreed to pay a whopping $225 million to settle allegations that they used deceptive practices to recruit members.
Today, the @FTC, under President Trump reached a landmark settlement with the multilevel marketing company Amway and two of its affiliates.
Beast mode. God bless Susie Wiles, no surprise she took on cancer and kicked its ass.
Some personal news I’m grateful to share. After a medical appointment at the Mayo Clinic this week, my pathology results came back clear.
I am cancer free.
Thank you to my family, friends, doctors, and everyone who prayed for me, checked in, and supported me along the way.
A special thank you to President Trump for his unwavering support. I am deeply grateful and will continue to work to advance his America First Agenda.

Another appalling example of unscrupulous fraudsters taking advantage of our nation’s enormous generosity. Such abuse was tolerated, if not encouraged, under the previous administration. Thankfully, those days are over.

The defendants from this takedown are naturalized U.S. citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents originally from Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Afghanistan, and Iraq. The map below shows locations of the executed search warrants in this daycare fraud investigation.
“These charges underscore a simple truth: anyone who steals from programs meant to support children will face swift and uncompromising accountability,” said @AAGMcDonald. “Fraud against these programs is an attack on vulnerable families, and law enforcement will continue to dismantle schemes that exploit them. I want to thank the prosecutors and agents in the Southern District of California whose relentless work exposed this scheme and ensured that those responsible are being held accountable.”

It is not just appropriate, it is necessary for us to recall the horror and tragedy of that day. And it is equally necessary that we remember and laud the uniquely American response to it: incomparable heroism. To ensure America remains America, its citizens remain safe, and the heroes of 9/11 are properly honored, we truly must never forget. Pray for the souls of the departed, and thank Almighty God for the heroes he emboldened on that day and the days that followed.
God Bless America. 🇺🇸

Twenty-five years ago, our Nation changed forever. But September 11 is remembered not only for what we lost, but for what we found: unity, love, courage, & an unshakable patriotism.
God bless America. 🇺🇸

This article is riddled with factual errors and also wrong on the law. Nothing alleged in here violates any law the FTC enforces. But law and facts don’t matter to the partisan Democrats who will stop at nothing to attack your family. They hate you and they think it’s funny.
The so-called reporter behind this piece, Cat Zakrzewski, gave my office just 45 minutes to respond to her inquiry. When we asked why we were given so little time, she said, and I’m not kidding, President Trump’s administration is not entitled to basic journalistic standards. Despicable stuff that’s only tolerated in “journalism.”

Everyone knows that the proper role of the executive branch in response to judicial opinions they don’t like is to openly tolerate and excuse unlawful assemblies outside the houses of judges.
Spare me the pearl clutching. Chuck Schumer threatened violence against the Justices on the steps of the Supreme Court to influence the outcome of a case. Left-wing mobs attacked the Justices’ homes for months in response to a ruling, which is a federal crime. These people said nothing. Merrick Garland did nothing. One of these left-wing lunatics tried to kill Justice Kavanaugh, and got a slap on the wrist from a Biden appointee.
All Jimmy is doing is publicly disagreeing with judicial rulings. It’s the most First Amendment-protected speech imaginable. Cry me a river.
This is America. If you don’t like public disagreement with your judicial rulings, get off the bench.

Notice the resources the Left is putting into silencing me. Why? Judicial activism is their golden goose, and they’re afraid if I keep talking about it then it will stop.
My friend @emundz42 is an absolute patriot and her work has been historic. President Trump’s plan to unlock nuclear energy is one of the greatest policy accomplishments of any administration in memory. It is one of the building blocks for America’s reindustrialization. It took lots of unsung heroes to get it done, and Emily was one of them (alongside my good friend Austin Raynor, another great patriot). Emily expertly coordinated this policy from the top, guiding it to the finish line. It is some of the most incredible work I’ve ever seen in government. I have no doubt she will be as successful in the VC world as she was in government.
Congratulations also to @CalebOrr__. He’s one of the admin’s brightest minds and will excel in his new role.

Four Most Wanted Fraudsters captured in just five weeks.
@VP Vance’s Anti-Fraud Task Force and our partners at @TheJusticeDept and @FBI have made clear that if you steal from American taxpayers there is nowhere you can hide. 🇺🇸

If you had a senior role in a government office and get saying that it screwed up on your stuff that means (1) you screwed up or (2) you had no juice. Why would you cop to either? It’s important dynamic for journos: why do you want to hear from someone who’s (1) or (2)?

🔥🧵from @SaysSimonson. As usual, Joe is exactly correct about this. When we said we’re going to stop fraud against government programs, we meant ALL fraud. Every dollar this woman allegedly stole from American citizens was an injustice. She’s getting what she deserves: JUSTICE.

The New York Times, a mid-cap tech company known for its crossword puzzles and recipes, is out today attacking the DOJ and @VP for working to arrest fraudsters. If you just read the headline and you'll assume we're bullying small business owners for not having the right permits.
