Abdul El-Sayed had said a lot of disqualifying things. But arguing breast cancer research should have less funding because “equity,” and bemoaning the “social power and privilege” of women with breast cancer… Is exceptionally insane.
đź‘©Abdul El Sayed and the "social power and privilege" of... women with breast cancer? October is breast cancer awareness month -but Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El Sayed thinks we should defund breast cancer research.

Minnesota's top law enforcement officer, Democrat Attorney General Keith Ellison, has been silent in the wake of recent Somali gang shootings at a high school homecoming and a church. Last month, Somali gangsters shot 55 rounds at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church. Police say Somali gangs are responsible. And the Eden Prairie High School homecoming football game was disrupted by what law enforcement sources say were a Somali gang shooting.

Senate Majority Leader @JohnThune on what Republicans will do if they maintain their majorities in Congress: “Once the near-term issue of opening up the strait and gas prices is resolved, what has been done to Iran and its military capability is something that will serve future generations. But there are other big things to do. If we could maintain the majorities in the House and the Senate, the sky is the limit. You’ll start right away after the election and do the defense authorization bill, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. We will have to fund the government in a more permanent way. We’ll do a bunch of nominations, judges on the judiciary, the farm bill, amending permitting reform. There’s a long list of things to do, all of which are really consequential. I think it takes bold leadership, which the president provides, and the willingness to work as a team. I think this team has demonstrated that although we have our differences from time to time, and we have our internal fights within the family, when it comes time to do big things, we come together and realize what is at stake. We have to make sure we keep these majorities intact, and hopefully, November 3rd will allow us to do that.”

Senate Majority Leader @JohnThune on why President Trump had to confront Iran, how American energy independence will make us less dependent on the Strait of Hormuz, and Democrats becoming increasingly radical and extreme: “If you think about the choices the president had, somebody had to do it. Iran had to be confronted. That kind of evil has to be dealt with. And one way or the other, they were on their way to getting a nuclear weapon. The issue right now, of course, is getting the strait opened up and the shipping lanes opened up so commerce can be moved and the flow of energy around the world can continue. But the one thing I will tell you is that the policies put in place by the president and his administration, and working with Congress, are going to encourage more energy development and independence in this country, so we are less and less dependent on places like the Strait of Hormuz. But as you mentioned, there’s a lot of noise in politics, the Democrats continue to nominate more liberal, more radical, more extreme candidates, and that’s going to take this country in a very different direction. So even though we have the situation in the Middle East, it’s going to end, and when it does, we have set this country up with the right conditions, the right parameters, and policies for a really successful future.”

Two years ago, Ohio voters rejected Sherrod Brown. "He's been in public office in Ohio for over 50 years. People can't name one thing he's actually ever done for them." This November, voters will reject him again and re-elect Jon Husted.

Senate Majority Leader @JohnThune BLASTS Democrats for blocking common-sense legislation, calls them the “party of no”: “They are the party of no. They don’t want to give Republicans or the president a victory, particularly this close to the election… But I think if [voters] think about the choices in front of them on which path is better for the future of their family or country and the economy and national security, it’s pretty clear [it’s Republicans].”

Senate Majority Leader @JohnThune rattles off the list of Republican accomplishments and highlights the stark contrast between Republicans and Democrats: “If you go down the list of things the Republicans have gotten done starting with the Laken Riley Act, the HALT Fentanyl Act, the TAKE IT DOWN Act, major housing legislation, Working Families Tax Cuts legislation — which has 100 different bills in it, No Tax on Tips, no tax on overtime, reduced taxes for seniors on Social Security, expanded child tax credit — made permanent, indexed for inflation — and it’s allowing people to have more money in their pockets, and we are seeing that and we will see more of that. If you go on the opposite track, these Democrats have lost their minds. These are people who will take us a very leftward direction for our country, and what that means is higher taxes, more spending, more government, higher costs, and open borders — I mean, that’s what you get with Democrat leadership. With Republicans, you are going to get lower taxes, you’re going to get a better regulatory framework, you’re going to see safer streets, you’re going to see new opportunities to get ahead for your family, and just better economic opportunity for the country.”

Eight years of Peggy Flanagan and Tim Walz in power. And now high schoolers who wanted to go to a Friday night football game in Eden Prairie have to duck gunshots from Somali gangsters. It’s completely insane. Minnesotans deserve to be free to live their lives without fear, drive their cars without being carjacked, and let their kids go to a game without worrying that Peggy Flanagan’s policies could put them in danger.
EP Homecoming Dance cancelled tonight bc of last nights shooting outside the game. Confirmed those involved are Somali gangs - no EP or Tonka students. This is on the heels of the Somali gang shooting in Edina outside the church. More on @FOX9 and Fox local app

Peggy Flanagan didn’t show for our debate because she can’t defend her incompetence and failure, the same record that led Tim Walz to withdraw from his race. It was a pleasure to join Tom Hauser and KSTP to provide straight talk about the new leadership Minnesota needs. I’m running for the U.S. Senate to bring common sense and accountability to Washington and put Minnesotans first.

.@JonHusted SLAMS Sherrod Brown: "He's been in office for 50 years. Can you name one thing that he's done for you to make your life better?... He closed power plants and refineries, driving up energy prices, he voted in the Unaffordable Care Act, which increased your insurance prices... but probably the worst thing was when he joined Joe Biden in the open border policy that allowed 15M people to illegally come into this country, bringing drugs and human trafficking and all that came with it!"

James Talarico has lied to Texans about his radical record throughout this race. He is now deceiving voters about campaigning in Texas this weekend when he's been out of state campaigning with liberal elites who want to destroy Texans' way of life. It's time to put Texas first!
Huge crowd to see @jamestalarico in deep-red Lubbock, Texas. This county hasn’t voted for a Democrat in 50 years.
