Always appreciate the opportunity to speak at Boys State in Aberdeen and answer questions from South Dakota’s future leaders. Looking forward to seeing what these young men take on next.
Senator John Cornyn admits that President Trump’s endorsement of Ken Paxton over him was to “send a message” — because Trump was frustrated that the Senate was unwilling to pass his agenda.
CORNYN: “You know, I really don’t think it was about me.”
“I think it’s very different from the Cassidy and Massie situation because I’ve been a Trump ally...”
“I think he got frustrated with the Senate not able to get what he wanted when he wanted it.”
“And as you know, the president can be a pretty impatient guy and I certainly understand that. He’s a chief-executive guy, he’s not a legislative guy.”
“And so, I think he just got frustrated and he wanted to send a message.”
🚨 IF TRUE, THIS IS A DISASTER

🚨 BREAKING: A gunman fired at the White House MULTIPLE times with a firearm, causing US Secret Service to RETURN FIRE, per Fox
The gunman has been TAKEN DOWN, after being SHOT, Fox reports
Yet ANOTHER gunman trying to get at President Trump.
ABSOLUTELY INSANE.
President Trump always deserves the benefit of the doubt in these situations. The team he has assembled to put ultimate non-kinetic pressure on Iran is truly impressive.
Let's hope this takes us to a safer and better place.
Al Jazeera: Sources say the Iran draft proposal includes ending the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, unfreezing billions in Iranian funds, lifting the U.S. naval blockade, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and pulling U.S. forces away from Iran’s vicinity.
The sides would then have 30 days, extendable by agreement, to finalize a nuclear deal. Iran says future management of the Strait would be handled jointly with Oman.

“The call was very positive. Good progress is being made,” a regional diplomat told Fox News. “Regional leaders were supportive of the progress and of the breakthrough President Trump achieved with the talks.”
Today, I voted to advance the Secure America Act through the @BudgetGOP Committee & on to the Senate floor.
This legislation funds @ICEgov & @CBP through the end of @POTUS’ second term & ensures that Democrats can no longer hold this critically important funding hostage.
Appropriate this vote comes during Law Enforcement Appreciation Month. I look forward to voting in favor of it when it comes to the Senate floor.
I have worked closely with President Trump through both of his Presidential terms and voted with him more than 99% of the time. He has consistently called me a friend in this race. It is now time for Texas Republican voters to decide if they want a strong nominee to help our GOP candidates down ballot and defeat Talarico in November, or a weak nominee who jeopardizes everything we care about. I trust the Republican voters of Texas.
The Senate to now lose an exceptionally brilliant and creative mind, an MD who chairs healthcare, and a person of character. Bill Cassidy’s departure is a loss for the country.
JUST IN: Cuba has reportedly acquired more than 300 military drones & discussed plans to target Guantanamo Bay, nearby U.S. military vessels, & possibly Key West.
🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: Unvaccinated Chief Warrant Officer 5 Kennie Kelly — a Master Aviator — has officially been REINSTATED to the US military, with full backpay, entitlements, station preference and benefits...
