🚨🚨 #PrinciplesFirst alert: .@Stephen_Richer: “Election denialism is a swindle—100%. It’s a swindle emotionally for some. It’s a swindle politically for some. It’s a swindle economically for some.” Thanks, Stephen.

"This is the opening salvo in a battle for the soul of the GOP that we have to win, because it's not just about the GOP—it's about the country." Join us this October. #PrinciplesFirst 🇺🇸

🚨🚨 #PrinciplesFirst alert: David Brooks: “Look at the pictures of Abraham Lincoln at the end of the Civil War. You look at the pictures of Franklin Roosevelt at the end of World War II. The burden of sending human beings into battle and causing death and suffering on both sides was something they bore with incredible heaviness. Hegseth treats it like it's a video game. It's just morally offensive.”

🚨🚨 #PrinciplesFirst alert: @DonJBacon on tariffs: “We made a mistake. We passed legislation that gave the president some temporary tariff authorities. I think we should maybe restore the power back to Congress and take away the authorizations.” Bingo.

🚨🚨 #PrinciplesFirst alert: Republican voter in rural Georgia: “Did you see Trump talking? Were his lips moving? He’s lying.” Listen.

🚨🚨 #PrinciplesFirst alert: @DonJBacon (R-NE) announces his support for reforming the President’s pardon power after abuse by both parties. The reform would allow Congress to nullify a pardon with a two-thirds supermajority in both chambers. Thank you for leading, Congressman.

🚨🚨 #PrinciplesFirst alert: @KarlRove on Vivek: “He is a performance artist who says outrageous things, smears his opponents and appeals to the dark parts of the American psyche.” Pretty easy to spot. Thanks, Karl.

🚨🚨 #PrinciplesFirst alert: @DanCrenshawTX rips his GOP colleagues for opposing the border bill over Ukraine aid: “So you want Russia to win more than you want border policy changes?” Keep speaking up, Dan. You’re right.

🚨🚨 #PrinciplesFirst alert: @BillMaher: “Genocide is when you want to wipe out an entire people. That’s the stated goal of Hamas. Hamas would do that to Israel, but can’t. Israel could do that to the Palestinians, but doesn’t.” Clarity.

🚨🚨 #PrinciplesFirst alert: @CondoleezzaRice: “It is really important that whoever runs for President understands ... that we are defending ... a rules-based system, that might doesn’t make right, that you can’t just extinguish your neighbor.”

🚨🚨 #PrinciplesFirst alert: Bill Barr: “He’s a very petty individual who will always put his interests ahead of the country’s … Our country can't be a therapy session for a troubled man like this.” Thanks, Bill. Truth matters.

🚨🚨 #PrinciplesFirst alert: George W. Bush: “The Russian government has made a project of turning Americans against each other. This effort is broad, systemic, and stealthy. Ultimately, this assault won’t succeed.”

🚨🚨 #PrinciplesFirst alert: @SenToddYoung (R-IN) explains his refusal to support Trump in November: “Principled conservatives need to incentivize our party to nominate somebody that principled conservatives can believe in. I'm tired of having my vote taken for granted.” Amen.

🚨🚨 #PrinciplesFirst alert: Former Sen. @PatToomey (R-PA) defends his opposition to Trump: “When you lose an election and you try to overturn the results so that you can stay in power, you lose me. You lose me at that point.” Amen. Draw the line.

🚨🚨 #PrinciplesFirst alert: Chris Wallace on why he left Fox News: “I had no problem with conservative opinion any more than I do with liberal opinion. But what I do have a problem with is conspiracy and lies. The truth is non-negotiable.” We agree. Join the principled:

🚨🚨 #PrinciplesFirst alert: @CRampell on the Harris price control proposal: “It’s hard to exaggerate how bad this policy is. It is, in all but name, a sweeping set of government-enforced price controls across every industry, not only food. Supply and demand would no longer determine prices or profit levels. Some far-off Washington bureaucrats would. The FTC would be able to tell, say, a Kroger in Ohio the acceptable price it can charge for milk. At best this would lead to shortages, black markets and hoarding, among other distortions seen previous times countries tried to limit price growth by fiat... At worst, it might accidentally raise prices.” Price controls won’t work.

🚨🚨 #PrinciplesFirst alert: Gov. @SpencerJCox (R-UT) defends his decision to welcome President Biden to the state. Such an important message for the country. Listen.

🚨🚨 #PrinciplesFirst alert: Navy SEAL Commander Adm McRaven (ret): “The White House is the home of American leadership, where Republican leaders like Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Teddy Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush resided. While each of these leaders had his shortcomings and foibles, none of them consistently violated every principle of good leadership like Donald Trump does. Mr. Trump has no self-control.” Link:

🚨🚨 #PrinciplesFirst alert: @BenSasse on what plagues our politics: “Politicians who spend their days shouting in Congress so they can spend their nights shouting on cable, are peddling crack — mostly to the already addicted.”

🚨🚨 #PrinciplesFirst alert: Brad Schimel (R-WI) accepts the results and immediately concedes: “I’ve called Crawford and conceded. You’ve gotta accept the results.” Thank you for leading by example, Brad. This is how it’s done. 🇺🇸
