Markwayne Mullinhomeland Security Secretary
We still have an acting director there and ICE’s mission doesn’t change. Lance is a very good man,

GOP senator blocks resolution that criticized Trump’s taxpayer-funded ads

Presidents of both parties have used public service announcements to speak directly to the American people for decades,
Maggie Hassanamerican politician (born 1958)
The American people want their tax dollars to go towards helping them and keeping them safe, not propaganda campaigns for a president. He’s welcome to run whatever ads he wants with his own riches, but with taxpayer dollars, money that people have worked hard to earn, he needs to follow the law.”
Donald Trumppresident
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,

Republicans’ last-ditch effort to lower costs ahead of midterms fails in key Senate vote

Jon Hustedsenator
This is the bill that gives us a chance to prove to the American people that we’re for lower electricity prices and holding data centers accountable. So the only way that this happen is if this bill passes,
Ohioans should get to decide if data centers are built in their communities and should never be forced to subsidize the electricity costs of big corporations,
Chuck Schumersenate Minority Leader
Here we need some real action on data centers and what does the Republican senator from Ohio come up with? Something that is optional,

John F. Kennedypresident of the United States from 1961 to 1963 (1917–1963)
I mean you don’t have to be a senior at Cal Tech to understand that people are angry about the cost of living, and they’re confused about Iran and the two are inextricably linked,
Jon Husted led the charge to bring data centers to Ohio, forcing Ohioans to pay thousands more in higher electric bills and giving giant out-of-state corporations billions of dollars in out-of-control tax breaks.”
