🚨🛢️DIESEL EXPORT EMBARGO pushed by the senior Senate Republican. Grassley's Iowa is a top battleground state in the fight for the Senate, w/Ashley Hinson up against Josh Turek. Earlier this week, John Thune told me he was open to exploring a diesel export ban to cut prices.
W diesel $6.57 in Iowa why doesn’t Pres Trump put an embargo on diesel exports like presidents in the 70s put embargoes on ag products bc food prices were inflated. High diesel prices ARE KILLING FARMERS INCOME #cornwatch #soybeanwatch

👇 Guy who has never had to open a cricket box
"On at least one occasion, the crickets escaped in the office and had to be recaptured." This sentence rocks. Like did they stage a daring prison break or did the same rake-stepping staffers now kvetching to the Times accidentally let them out

AP: "Very briefly in front of news photographers, Trump noted that Xi has the friendliest press corps in the world. The U.S. president quipped that the Chinese press ask Xi for permission to speak. China is one of the most oppressive environments for journalists in the world."

For the midterms, I think corruption/self-dealing is issue 1b behind cost of living as 1a. It's not just that people feel things are unaffordable for themselves, they think those in power are helping rich friends get richer. From our latest "America in Focus" focus group...

Twitter used to be great.
So, a shipment of crickets for the lizard arrived via FedEx today. It was my first time ordering bulk crickets off the internet, and I naively assumed that they would be in like, a bag or some other contraption to facilitate easy transfer to another container. They were not.

“Paid for by the U.S. Government.”
So I was just watching Fox News and this commercial played during Jesse Watters show. It says “Paid for by the US Government.” This is clearly a campaign ad. And the singers are just singing over and over again, “Love me” - over images of Trump. @CBSMiami @CBSNews

I think JD Vance technically could cast a tie-breaking vote to pass the resolution to end the Iran war. Not that he would.

Asked Sen. Gallego about the NYT Peltola story on staff mistreatment, who tells reporters: “when I was 25, I had a really bad boss. He made me run across an open fucking field of raking machine gun fire to breach a door. So, yeah, life's tough sometimes”

BREAKING: Despite the court's order, a POLITICO reporter was barred from entering the White House this morning and had his credentials seized. The court order was clear about its immediate effect and applied to all WH / USSS officials. politico.com/news/2026/09/24…

Interest rate on 30-year Treasury debt just rose to the highest level since 2004. 5.44%. Not great when you are $40T in debt and running big deficits.

I feel like this has been one of our more underrated charts. If you throw out voters who *weakly* approve or disapprove of Trump's performance and only look at *strong* approval/disapproval, his net approval rating is -29, even worse than his overall -22.

While a federal judge has ordered the White House to immediately restore press credentials for CNN, MSNOW, and Politico, it’s unclear if TV networks will resume pool coverage of Trump. The WH has not said whether CNN is back in the pool—a separate issue from the credentials.

I am hearing from Kansans about the increased federal law enforcement presence in southwest Kansas as ICE agents carry out warrants in the area. I visited with Secretary Mullin, stressing the importance of DHS working with our local law enforcement to safely execute these warrants. Secretary Mullin assured me these warrants are only for the purpose of arresting individuals who have been charged with criminal activities. I will remain engaged with federal and local authorities and community leaders.
