What are you all planning to do this weekend?

THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT JUST PUT THIS ON NATIONAL TELEVISION DURING THE NFL GAMES. “This is the final battle with you at my side. We will demolish the deep state. We will expel the warmongers from our government. We will drive out the globalists. We will cast out the communists, Marxists, and fascists. We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country. We will rout the fake news media, and we will liberate America from these villains once and for all.” PAID FOR BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. Not a campaign. Not a PAC. The actual United States government. They’re not working us over anymore. We’re working them over. This is the final battle. And it’s live on national TV.

AIR FORCE ONE BAN: The White House barred news outlet Politico from traveling on Air Force One on Monday, keeping the outlet from serving as the print pool representative on President Donald Trump's trip.

MASSIVE news on the U.S. domestic copper sourcing front! I was just in Florence, Arizona, for the opening today of Florence Copper Mine; the first new copper source in almost 20 years! This is a huge boost to domestic copper production, while employing hundreds of people, adding billions to the Arizona economy, and further strengthening our national security, all while greatly protecting our environment with extremely high stewardship standards.

BREAKING: U.S. employers added a disappointing 29,000 jobs last month, and the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.2% ahead of the November midterms. apnews.com/article/jobs-u…

.@SecScottBessent: “We have had 1 million private-sector jobs, and those are going to Americans. We are down 300,000 government jobs. We are seeing a manufacturing boom. Last year, we were setting the table, and this year is the banquet. We are seeing construction jobs that are turning into manufacturing jobs. We are seeing fixed-asset investment all across the country. Industry is coming back to the U.S.”

JD Vance: "Some of America's most elite universities bring in foreigners to undercut the wages of American residents. There are 9 universities in particular that we believe merit an investigation. Those are Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Brown, the University of Pittsburg, UC Davis, Cal Tech, Arizona State, and MIT."

@atrupar As a Stanford graduate, I believe our universities should uphold academic excellence and fairness to American workers. If there are concerns about visa abuse or wage suppression, they deserve a transparent investigation—without special treatment for any institutions.

🚨 WOW! Dept. of Labor IG Anthony D'Esposito just DROPPED this fire line on all universities abusing visas to replace Americans "I WILL PERSONALLY CUFF YOU IN THE UNIVERSITY SQUARE." "I spent a career as a NYPD detective...I did not back down then, and I sure as hell will not back down now. I don't care how prestigious a university thinks it is!" "I don't care how large your endowment is, how powerful your alumni are, or how many politicians you have on speed dial." 🔥🔥🔥 A most wanted fraudster list is also being launched by DOL. THEY WILL BE ARRESTED Schools under investigation include Pitt, Yale, Harvard, Stanford, Brown, UC Davis, Caltech, Arizona State, and MIT Subpoenas already served on 9 schools. He's not bluffing. THIS is the energy we needed for YEARS. Americans are NO LONGER BEING FORGOTTEN

@EricLDaugh No university should be above the law. If visa fraud or abuse is proven, it should be investigated and prosecuted—regardless of prestige, wealth, or political connections. American workers deserve a fair system.

@Farmerwifelife It looks like a major project.

Mediation efforts between the U.S. and Iran have stalled; Washington demands that Iran limit its nuclear capabilities.

@EricMayberryTFB That's great, it looks like you did a great job.

@Jake8420T Wow

Trump has pledged to use personal funds and money from political action committees—specifically super PACs—to pay for video advertisements praising him, in response to public ethical concerns regarding ads funded by taxpayers.
