Prices are too high and Canada is not our enemy. We need to end the tariff war — now. In the Senate, I’ll bring both parties together to lower costs and put Michigan families first.

“They don’t want to bear the weight of the president. I get that. You’re up for re-election? He’ll target you in a primary… You know what all martyrs have in common? They're dead,” Sen.

notable that Trump waited until Congress was gone to make this pledge again there is a lot of skepticism from Republican lawmakers about this

If Republicans win the House of Representatives and the Senate in the 2026 Midterm Elections, I’m going to give all adult citizens in the United States of America, $5,000! Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to signing those checks!
Community note
This repeats a promise Trump made in September 2026. The US has approximately 250 million adult citizens so the total cost would be over 1.25 trillion dollars. Congress must approve any such federal spending. nytimes.com/2026/09/10/us/… pbs.org/newshour/polit…

Thune says “yet to be determined” on whether today’s vote series is the last of the day (and week) Kennedy said a decision hasn’t been made but “we've got at least five senators that have left, and/or are leaving, and they're not coming back. Which would mean we would be short of votes.”

Excited to share this @WSJ project: I went home to Miami to see how the Hispanic voters who helped propel Trump to victory are feeling ahead of the midterms. What I found? Deep frustration, esp. over immigration—and it could keep some who backed him home. wsj.com/politics/elections/i…

I Went Home to Miami to See How Hispanic Voters Feel About Trump and Immigration

Watch as a WSJ reporter visits Miami-Dade County—which Trump flipped red in 2024. Now, many in this heavily Cuban community are frustrated with some of his policies.

This comes as Utah in particular has experienced a historic wildfire season this year, with more than 500,000 acres burned in one of the nation’s driest states. It's been the state’s worst wildfire season since 2007, per experts.

The push for legislating on the growing wildfire crisis gained steam earlier this summer when wildfire smoke from Canada knocked at Congress’ literal front door and polluted D.C. for days on end, making it hard for senators to ignore the national threat wildfires pose.

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. Watch the whole thing:
