Driving the news: In a memo Thursday, the Kennedy-aligned political advocacy group MAHA Action warned the chairs of the Republican Senate and House campaign committees and House and Senate leaders that the GOP "is renting MAHA voters. They haven't decided to purchase them yet." The group says Republicans could still close the polling gap with appeals to this segment, which it said could represent 10% of the electorate.

Serving the people of Nevada has been the honor of my lifetime. Nobody is prouder of our Nevada Congressional District than me. Thank you for the honor. Every achievement worth doing began with listening to Nevadans and fighting for our values. I came to Congress to solve problems and to make sure our State and Nation have strong voice in the federal policy and oversight processes. I look forward to finishing my term.

You can volunteer. You can make phone calls. You can knock on doors. But you can give! I've been out-raised twice in the last two quarters. They're killing us money-wise. I would rather have $10 from a million people than one guy giving me $10 million. Please go to lindseygraham.com tonight and give what you can, and do it every month until the election.

Elon Musk is spending big to help the GOP win the midterms. The world's richest man gave $5 million apiece in December to two super PACs tied to House and Senate GOP leadership, according to new disclosures filed with the Federal Election Commission on Saturday. That includes the Congressional Leadership Fund, which backs GOP House candidates, along with the Senate Leadership Fund. While Musk's contributions have been previously reported, the disclosures put a precise dollar amount on Musk's new investments.

No longer confined to the partisans and activists, the fierce backlash against Donald Trump's immigration crackdown has begun to break out across American culture, spanning the worlds of business, sports and entertainment.Bruce Springsteen released a new song Wednesday that slammed "Trump's federal thugs." OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman told employees that "what's happening with ICE is going too far," referring to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

I wouldn't say he's concerned about the policy,

I worry about that Trump is looking for this kind of pandemonium to go on like you just described. So that he could declare martial law or something and also cancel the midterms,

Well, no, I'm actually not, Mace said. I feel like we could do a lot more. We don't have a lot of time to, I believe, implement all of Donald Trump's agenda. Republican primaries start in March Texas is one of the earliest states. And I don't believe we've done enough.

President Donald Trump will gather with House Republicans on Tuesday to ensure they're aligned on their agenda at the start of a critical midterm election year that could alter the course of his final two years in office. GOP lawmakers are hosting a daylong policy forum at the Kennedy Center, the performing arts venue on the other side of Washington from the Capitol. Its board, which is stacked with Trump loyalists, recently voted to rename it the Trump Kennedy Center, though that move is being challenged in court.

Trump said 1.45 million military service members would get the warrior dividend before Christmas. The checks are already on the way, he said. Yet his bonus payments for the troops come as millions of Americans are fretting about the costs of groceries, housing, utilities and their holiday gifts as inflation remains elevated and the labor market has meaningfully weakened in recent months.

The Republican Party is increasingly at war with itself, which doesn't bode well for its effort to prevent another election-day wipeout like it experienced earlier this month in off-year elections in New Jersey, Virginia, Georgia and California. Republicans ostensibly won the government shutdown fight, but they did so by blocking an extension of broadly popular tax credits under the Affordable Care Act. Millions of Americans now face spiking health care premiums, and the president's party is splintered over how to respond.

Donald Trump himself alternates between claiming he's already pushed the cost of living way down and publicly mulling ways to convince Americans to feel better about their ability to make ends meet. Obviously Republicans need to improve the president's sinking job-approval numbers in anticipation of high-stakes midterm elections. But more immediately, the GOP must decide how to deal with the health-insurance "cliff" it created by failing to extend Obamacare premium subsidies in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

We will be issuing dividends later on probably the middle of next year, a little bit later than that, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Monday. Thousands of dollars for individuals of moderate income, middle income. Last week, the president claimed that the checks, which require congressional approval, would be sent out next year. Trump said the idea is to give Americans the tariff money that has been collected on imports.
