Being in one of these states, let me tell ya: the ads his PACs and groups create are INSANE. Mostly AI, always about nonsense issues not relevant to the economic moment....unhinged from reality. They're not even attempting to lie well; it's all fear mongering.

NEW: In March the White House released an FY27 budget request that zeroed out the National Science Foundation's directorate of Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE). For months it was unclear what would happen. Now, with FY26 over, the damage to SBE is coming to light. My reporting:

Wow! Senator @ChrisMurphyCT is denied entry to U.S. military facilities in the Persian Gulf. He wasn't even allowed to meet with military leaders! He believes this is on the order of Pete Hegseth, who is trying to hide the damage and the cost of this war of choice with Iran.

The ICE Air Operations official handbook allows minors as young as 13 to be shackled on ICE flights. We don’t know this girl/young woman’s age, but if she is over 18, it probably isn’t by much. I don’t know how those flight “guards” sleep at night.
