I can’t imagine a better choice for Tennessee! Congrats, @michael_hendrix
Building an administration that reflects the priorities of Tennesseans starts with having the right people in key leadership positions. @michael_hendrix understands the policy challenges and opportunities facing our state. He brings a depth of experience that will be important to our team as we move forward. I am pleased to appoint him as Chief of Staff and look forward to the leadership he brings to this role!

Alabama is going to be the richest state in America lol
Very productive meetings with Alabama’s Senate and House GOP caucuses this week. We are ready to hit the ground running in January to deliver wins for the people of Alabama.

Interesting. Copied this format for Governor’s races (adjusted to 12 point swing environment seen in Governor vote counts)
The arrow maps are basically unreadable, here's a trend map between 2024 pres and 2026 sen. (trend = swing - 14%)

So proud of my long time friend Whitney Lipscomb for announcing her candidacy and announcing the call of public service once again. She was a great chief counsel to a Governor, a great Deputy AG, and has been a great teammate as @RepublicanAGs Policy Director.
BREAKING: Whitney Lipscomb officially announces her campaign for Mississippi Secretary of State. Lipscomb has worked for Republican officials throughout her career and is currently general counsel for the Republican Attorneys General Association.

Thousands of volunteers door knocking, fundraising and getting the vote out made it possible for Florida to remain RED Job well done
Despite the most challenging political environment in a generation, the Florida firewall held at the top of the ticket. There will be plenty of analysis on why: Strong nominees and their top-tier campaign teams, the Governor and Legislature creating an environment to build the voter registration advantage, the Florida GOP infrastructure, and down-ballot campaigns that worked hard to drive turnout in their districts. But my mind is on the thousands of GOP volunteers who once again worked tirelessly to get the job done. Our grassroots knocked doors, made phone calls, chased ballots and rallied their communities to turn out the vote, some of them through hurricane-level flooding. None of them did it for recognition - they did it because they believe giving their time can make a difference. And with elections this close, it absolutely did. Not every race went our way, and there's real work ahead. For now, I'm grateful for every volunteer who showed up. You are the backbone of the Florida GOP.

If you’re in another state in this union, and you’re looking for a team of consultants and advisors who will get you a win during the most difficult of national headwinds … I know some Florida folks.

Four years ago it was 4/10 and 11/20. After yesterday, only 4 out of the top 20 most populous states will have a Republican governor.
With the loss of governors races in Texas, Ohio and Georgia, there will be only one state of the top ten most populous states with a Republican governor: Florida.

Lula put his own former lawyer on the Supreme Court. He asked the courts for voting to be extended by 2 hours. Skipped the court that should decide it and had that same former lawyer unilaterally decide to order it 2 minutes before polls close. BUT only for places that still had voting open, which were mainly Lula strongholds that were aware of the request and waited for it to be granted. This isn't just optics. They knew exactly what they were doing. It's open corruption.

Crazy WSJ data. Between 2022 and 2025, wealth increased 37% for Americans 75 and older, while **decreased** 23% for people under 35. wsj.com/economy/affluent-and…

Last night Team International took the team bus to Olive Garden for a family style dinner. Meanwhile Team USA took 12 separate cabs to 12 separate tables at Applebee’s. Today was inevitable.

Yesterday’s essay by @DarioAmodei is a must read with which @elonmusk and others have agreed. @RepublicanAGs have been at the forefront of the intersection of innovation and protection for decades. Here is what I wrote on linkedin about it: lnkd.in/p/eUmm3tJi
We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so. Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.

Good litmus test on who we should #shrink
Update on the situation: I took the car in to get serviced, I paid in full, and sent a text with invoice to the golfer. his response: "Spoke to my lawyer, not my fault, i wont pay, insane to think you would force someone to pay this... blah blah blah.. (*I only texted him are you going to pay for this after he said he would*) he chickened out after telling myself and many other people he would pay it. zero accountability, zero truth to holding his word. not a stand up guy.

“While you consider your decision, please enjoy this special behind the scenes footage of the time we kidnapped the President of Venezuela for, like, no reason.”
Sources: President Trump, commerce secretary Howard Lutnick, and White House task force head Andrew Giuliani put together a team of elite lawyers — from outside the government — to challenge the Flo Balogun red card. Specifically they challenged the use of slow motion instant replay to give the red card, which they argued violated FIFA rules. The president also conveyed to Gianni Infantino, FIFA’s president, that the appeal had been filed and he believed the red card penalty was excessive. FIFA’s independent committee reviewed the decision and agreed the penalty was incorrectly given, rescinding it under their rule 27 authority.
