.@MikeLevin This is an absolutely fake story as usual—one of about 20 I have seen targeting anyone and everything Trump this week. A legal letter and my intent to sue ProPublica have already been issued (see below). Two minutes of research shows that this company’s relationship with the CDC occurred in 2021, under the Biden Administration. I have nothing to do with this company other than being a passive investor in an entity that has a minority interest. I have never spoken to them; I don’t know anybody from their management team, what they do, or who they are. Nothing. This is slander, and I will hold anyone— which will start with ProPublica—who suggests otherwise liable.
Months after a fund tied to Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump put about $30 million into a nearly bankrupt spa company, the Trump administration awarded that company nearly $40 million in federal contracts to screen for Ebola.
The company made most of its money from airport spas and waxing salons.
It had never worked with Ebola.
It had never worked overseas.
Yet part of the money is for work in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where Ebola has killed more than 5,000 people this year. The company's CEO said, "I'm not sure we can do it."
This keeps happening. The same Trump-linked fund invested in a drone company, and five months later that company got an Air Force contract worth up to $90 million. A startup linked to Trump Jr. got a $620 million Pentagon loan after a top White House aide stepped in.
Their fund buys in, and federal money follows. Taxpayers foot the bill, and with Ebola, our safety is on the line too.
This is all totally corrupt.
Americans deserve answers under oath, and our conflict of interest and procurement laws must be enforced.

YOUR DAILY SMART UPDATE ✈️
Last Friday, a Frontier Airlines flight out of Charlotte Douglas International Airport faced a severe weather pattern upon departure - that’s the blue flight path
Our SMART system stepped in with predictive weather insights, routing the flight around the storm cell - the green flight path - and cutting 219 nautical miles off the trip
That single reroute saved passengers 32 MINUTES in the air and 415 GALLONS OF FUEL!
Lower fuel burn means lower costs for airlines, which ultimately helps lower ticket prices
Less time dodging storms and more time at your destination
That's the power of SMART
More to come 🛫 @FAANews

Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent tells The Axios Show how President Trump jokes with him about women wanting an introduction:
“He’ll occasionally tell me: ‘You’re breaking Melania’s friends’ hearts. They see you on TV and they want an intro, and we have to break the news to them.’”
You're an idiot.
I spoke at DC City Council about @charlesallen and his Waymo bill that replaces 800 human drivers.

Senate's is in session today on this Veterans Day and will continue work on legislation to reform the federal permitting processes for energy and infrastructure projects. Senate was scheduled to be out today and the rest of the week for the federal holiday, but Thune changed the schedule yesterday after hearing from GOP Senators to stay in session this week and continue to work on legislation and nominations. @cspan 2

Texas, which sends more Republicans to the House than any state, has been unrepresented in GOP leadership since the end of 2012, when Jeb Hensarling was conf. chair, John Carter was secretary and Pete Sessions chaired NRCC
No Texan has been leader/whip since Tom DeLay in '05

What an absolute load of garbage, one line after the other.
Democrat or Republican, it's great to see Joe Biden's terrible job as POTUS in the rear view mirror.

The best of the freshmen class in the #txlege has a big future... Keep your eye on Paul Dyson.
The final results are in, a plurality has spoken, and it is now clear that I will not be returning to the People’s House next year. Unfortunately, I caught a wave I couldn’t ride. I congratulate Janet Dudding and wish her the best as she prepares to serve House District 14.
To everyone who supported me, volunteered, prayed, contributed, put up a sign, knocked a door, made a call, or simply offered an encouraging word, thank you. I’m deeply grateful.
There is still work to do for HD14 before my term ends. So, we’ll do what we’ve always done: roll up our sleeves and get back to work. My office remains focused on constituent services, district needs, and finishing the job we were elected to do.
It is my honor to serve you.
