Tried to write an obituary for my dad that did justice to his gentle, generous, amazing life. It’s running in WaPo print editions today and this week, with memorial service info for those who would like to celebrate with us. What a great man. Love you, Dad

Elon Musk says he has formed the “America Party.” He should have petitioned the FEC for clearance first. But even Elon he does that now, the FEC can’t give him an answer because it currently doesn’t have enough commissioners for a quorum.

As the story notes, $80,000 was a big deal for Noem then — more than half her $130,000 governor salary.

Crazy find here. When she was governor, Kristi Noem raised gobs of money for a dark money nonprofit. The group then paid Noem’s personal company $80,000 for those services, but she never disclosed the payment. The source of the money—the group’s donors—are private and unknown.
Since the dark money group that made the payments to Noem’s private company does not disclose the names of its donors, the original source of the funds remains unknown.

This “plan” for electing third-party candidates to control the slim margins of majority in Congress—in a publicly posted reply to Elon Musk—is coming straight from the account of a Russian social media engineer the U.S. Senate said has been behind Kremlin propaganda bot networks.
@elonmusk The current configuration of the United States Congress — marked by consistently narrow margins of control in both chambers — has created a unique opening for a strategic intervention through minimal yet decisive electoral presence. This document outlines the Ten-Seat Strategy:

The entity that mortgaged the factory—PACEM Estate Holdings—is also the only entity that pays Cory Mills (up to $1M.year in rent). He's been torching cash, spending $350K a year on luxury rental properties. But in April, PACEM Estate Holdings went into a trust. Maybe to shield it.

It's possible the Canadian lender will try to lay claim to what it legally can, which would appear to include Mills' entire stake in his company, as well as the company's operations facility. (This is why we have disclosure laws — but Mills didn't follow them.).

NEW: 4th of July card from Rep. Cory Mills' lender, now winding down the debt because it was so bad. Mills never disclosed personal liability for tens of millions in corporate loans owed to a foreign entity. But the lender has liens on his stake AND his company's weapons factory.

“What Mr. Clyde did not disclose was that one of two gun stores he owns was placed in the monitoring program in 2020 and 2021. A.T.F. inspectors made the designation after they found more than 25 guns sold there had been used in crimes within 3 years.”

TIL this bill also eliminates the $200 stamp tax on short-barreled rifles and silencers.
I fully support President Trump’s agenda, 100%. Throughout this process, I have fought to improve the One Big Beautiful Bill in order to deliver as many conservative and fiscally responsible wins for the American people as possible. As an ardent defender of our Second Amendment.

Here we go. Now we just lay back and wait a bit for whatever happens next. Working like a charm.

Now, we don’t know exactly what Trump will say, clearly, but it’s reasonable to expect that at some point he will have to say something. Then: We re-evaluate.

Murkowski just voted to pass a bill that she says “is not good enough for the rest of our nation” and “is not ready for the President’s desk”.
This was one of the hardest votes I have taken during my time in the Senate. My goal throughout the reconciliation process has been to make a bad bill better for Alaska, and in many ways, we have done that. In addition to extending pro-growth tax cuts, a larger child tax.

“I don’t want to go too crazy with cuts,” Trump said, as the Senate’s budget reconciliation bill heads back to the House. “I don’t like cuts.”.
