defeat fake pastor <strong>James Talarico</strong> in Texas.</p><p><span>&#8220;We in the Senate don&#8217;t have the money budgeted for Texas. We need help from the president,&#8221; Kennedy told </span><em>The Sunday Briefing</em><span> on Fox News.</span></p><p>The Senate GOP had plenty of money to spend on Texas when they were trying to defeat a conservative, but when it comes to defeating a Marxist like James Talarico, they&#8217;ve got nothing.</p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;ee385f04-313e-4bfb-b060-efc94e2a7a80&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><p>We know the national party committees are controlled by party leaders, so they naturally favor pro-leadership candidates &#8212; that&#8217;s not new. </p><p>What&#8217;s unique here is that the Senate GOP took sides in the Republican primary election and spent over $100 million of party money attacking Ken Paxton. You would think that since they spent so much attacking the party&#8217;s eventual nominee, they would feel some obligation to help him now. </p><p>Sadly, that&#8217;s not the case. </p><p>You may hear some party leaders say they &#8220;hope&#8221; Ken Paxton wins and they &#8220;hope&#8221; President Trump helps him, but they&#8217;ve closed their wallets and are quietly rooting for him to lose. </p><p>They don&#8217;t want another conservative fighter in the Senate who will hold them accountable, and they would love to run around telling everyone that Ken Paxton was a bad candidate who cost them the majority &#8212; even though they&#8217;re the ones who attacked and then abandoned him.</p><div><hr></div><h4>Take Action</h4><p>Conservatives are right to be mad about this, but being mad won&#8217;t change it. We need to take action.</p><p><strong><a href="https://secure.senateconservatives.com/priority/d?c=9706cd86">Please support Ken Paxton and our priority candidates with a secure online contribution today.</a></strong></p><p>SCF will pay all processing fees and transfer 100% of your contributions directly to their grassroots campaigns.</p><p>Nothing will do more to help weaken and ultimately

Way back in 2021, when Fauci was still basking in the glow of his media celebrity, Johnson already smelled a rat. He wrote to Dr. Fauci, asking about inconsistencies in his comments about COVID&#8217;s origins. Fauci dissembled.</p><p>Johnson asked Fauci and Big Pharma about the safety and effectiveness of the COVID vaccines. They evaded.</p><p>Over the next few years, Johnson wrote dozens of oversight letters, asking for answers, data, and documents. Fauci stalled.</p><p>To get a sense of Johnson&#8217;s doggedness, check out the timeline of his COVID oversight <a href="https://www.ronjohnson.senate.gov/issues/covid/?utm_source=chatgpt.com"><span>here</span></a>.</p><p>In 2025, Johnson became Chairman of the Senate&#8217;s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. He stopped asking for documents and started subpoenaing them.</p><p>Since taking the gavel, Johnson has gotten tens of thousands of texts, emails, and files from Fauci&#8217;s tenure. And the truth is worse than anyone feared.</p><div><hr></div><h4><strong>The Truth About Fauci</strong></h4><p>Thanks to Senator Johnson, now we know that Fauci <em>knew</em> early on that COVID probably came from the Wuhan lab. He <em>knew</em> the vaccines were creating adverse health effects. He was behind the unconstitutional vaccine mandates. And he was all over the federal government&#8217;s massive conspiracy to silence his critics in the news media and online.</p><p>After all these years, Fauci&#8217;s lies are finally being exposed. He took the Fifth more than 100 times before Congress because he c<span>ould</span>n&#8217;t answer questions without incriminating himself. His former senior advisor just pleaded guilty to concealing records about COVID&#8217;s origins. He&#8217;s even facing criminal investigations in several states. All because Ron Johnson never stopped fighting for the truth.</p><p>If you&#8217;ve followed Johnson&#8217;s career, you know that&#8217;s just who he is. He has been fighting his entire time in the Senate for fiscal discipline, gun rights, the right to life, and against the woke weaponization of government.</p><div><hr></div><h4><strong>Support Ron Johnson</strong></h4><p>Senate Conservatives Fund is proud to support Senator Ron Johnson <em>every year, </em>not just when he&#8217;s up for re-election.</p><p>We make it possible for SCF members to sponsor Johnson, year in, year out, regardless of the election cycle.</p><p>As attention turns toward the campaign trail this fall, we encourage grassroots conservatives to remember the leaders working hard for us<span>,</span> far away from the cameras. Doing the oversight. Asking the questions. Finding the answers. Saving America, one subpoena at a time.</p><p>Washington will never thank Ron Johnson, but history will &#8212; and we can.</p><p><strong><a href="https://secure.senateconservatives.com/johnson/d?c=4dbe707cb">Support Senator Ron Johnson and his fight for the truth. </a></strong></p><p>Let&#8217;s show him America&#8217;s gratitude for his heroic service throughout this long fight against Fauci&#8217;s fraud.

In Minnesota, 68 people have already been convicted for their roles in a $250 million child-nutrition fraud scheme. In California, one defendant pleaded guilty to running a $270 million Medicaid fraud scam &#8212; charging the government for prescription drugs never delivered to patients.</p><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p><em>&#8220;Fraud is endemic,&#8221;</em> Schmitt said. <em>&#8220;America is the most generous nation in the world, but that generosity is being abused by illegal aliens and career criminals who reject our nation&#8217;s values and pillage the federal welfare state. Taxpayers are paying the price. Thankfully, the Trump Administration has a clear and simple message for fraudsters: time is up.&#8221;</em></p></div><p>Vance&#8217;s Task Force has already stopped more than $50 billion in fraudulent payments. And that&#8217;s just the beginning. The Trump Justice Department is prosecuting perpetrators and investigating others. Democrat politicians may be involved, too, as some of the Minnesota fraudsters funneled money to their campaigns.</p><p>As leader of the Senate Anti-Fraud Task Force, Schmitt has already introduced a bill to denaturalize immigrants convicted of fraud or other serious crimes. Now he&#8217;s working on new legislation to build on Vice President Vance&#8217;s recommendations. Ideally, Schmitt&#8217;s reforms could even pass the Senate with only 50 votes on the next budget reconciliation package.</p><p>This is a fight conservatives need to take up. Liberal states, liberal politicians, and liberal campaigns are all involved. That&#8217;s why they let it happen. Cracking down on federal fraud will not only protect taxpayers &#8212; it will actually de-fund the Left!</p><p>We applaud Senator Schmitt for taking up this fight and support his efforts to pass anti-fraud reforms before the end of the year.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank"

Here&#8217;s the latest data from several of our key races across the country.</p><div><hr></div><h4><strong>ALABAMA</strong></h4><p>Great news. Conservative  <strong>U.S. Rep. Barry Moore </strong>has opened a commanding lead against Democrat <strong>Everett Wess</strong> in the race to succeed Coach Tommy Tuberville:</p><blockquote><p><strong>Barry Moore     47%</strong></p><p><strong>Everett Wess     32%</strong></p><p><em>(Yes. Every Kid. Foundation / July 8-11)</em></p></blockquote><div><hr></div><h4><strong>FLORIDA</strong></h4><p>Conservative<strong> Senator Ashley Moody</strong> is also polling ahead of the field in the Sunshine State. A recent survey gives her a <span>10-point lead</span> over her leading Democrat rival, Russia-hoax figure Alexander Vindman.</p><blockquote><p><strong>Ashley Moody     50%</strong></p><p><strong>Alexander Vindman     40%</strong></p><p><em>(University of North Florida / July 8-17)</em> </p></blockquote><div><hr></div><h4><strong>GEORGIA</strong></h4><p>Polls in Georgia give incumbent Democrat <strong>Senator Jon Ossoff </strong>a lead over conservative <strong>Congressman Mike Collins</strong>. The size of the lead has varied week to week depending on the pollster. The most recent survey from mid-July reports a 9-point spread:</p><blockquote><p><strong>Jon Ossoff<span>     </span>52%</strong></p><p><strong>Mike Collins<span>     </span>43%</strong></p><p><em>(AARP / July 13-16)</em></p></blockquote><div><hr></div><h4><strong>KANSAS</strong></h4><p>Don&#8217;t let this red state fool you. Kansas could be a close race this year. Polls have given <strong>Senator Roger Marshall</strong> a consistent but modest lead all year. On August 4, Kansas Democrats nominated progressive pastor <strong>Adam Hamilton</strong>. Hamilton has a huge fundraising network through his megachurch and will be able to spend millions on this race. </p><p>The first survey since the primary has Marshall up by only 1 point:</p><blockquote><p><strong>Roger Marshall<span>     </span>46%</strong></p><p><strong>Adam Hamilton<span>     </span>45%</strong></p><p><em>(Public Policy Polling / August 7-8)</em></p></blockquote><div><hr></div><h4><strong>TEXAS</strong></h4><p>The race between Texas <strong>Attorney General Ken Paxton</strong> and woke pastor <strong>James Talarico</strong> remains neck and neck. Polls throughout July gave Talarico small leads of one to four points. The most recent poll, the only one taken in August, puts Paxton slightly ahead:</p><blockquote><p><strong>Ken Paxton <span>    </span>47%</strong></p><p><strong>James Talarico<span>     </span>46%</strong></p><p><em>(Emerson College / August 9-10)</em></p></blockquote><div><hr></div><p>All five of these races are winnable. All five are huge opportunities to help build a conservative Senate. We&#8217;ll report back with more polling data as it&#8217;s published.</p><p>Thank you for your continued support.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

fetchpriority="high"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>As South Carolina Republicans consider their choices in the U.S. Senate primary runoff, some may be undecided. </p><p>On the one hand, they have Senator Lindsey Graham&#8217;s sister, <strong>Darline Graham</strong>, who has been endorsed by President Trump.</p><p>On the other hand, they have Congressman <strong>Ralph Norman</strong>, a solid MAGA conservative who has fought for their values for years.</p><p>This could make the choice difficult for some. And since Darline Graham has no record, there&#8217;s no way for voters to verify her qualifications. </p><p><strong>But if you set aside the president&#8217;s endorsement &#8212; which is clearly driven by his friendship with Senator Graham &#8212; and follow the money, the choice becomes clear.</strong></p><p>According to recent FEC filings, voters in the Palmetto State are about to be bombarded with ads urging them to oppose Ralph Norman. </p><p>Here&#8217;s where the money is coming from:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Security is Strength PAC</strong> <strong>and Palmetto Action </strong>&#8212; The two super PACs historically tied to Lindsey Graham. Some of the donations are from disclosed donors, while others are from third-party intermediaries to avoid disclosure (aka &#8220;dark money&#8221;). But it&#8217;s safe to assume they&#8217;re funded by the same interests that supported Lindsey Graham and his policies.</p></li><li><p><strong>National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC)</strong> &#8212; The party committee controlled by Senator John Thune and the Republican leadership in the Senate. Naturally, it favors pro-leadership candidates.</p></li><li><p><strong>Invest in Tomorrow Colation PAC </strong>&#8212; The super PAC funded by the green energy lobby that is on a self-described &#8220;retribution tour&#8221; against Freedom Caucus conservatives who pushed to phase out renewable-energy tax credits in the One Big Beautiful Bill. This group funded the ads that defeated Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) earlier this month, and now they&#8217;re spending big to defeat Ralph Norman in this Senate race. </p></li></ul><p>What does all this tell Republican voters in South Carolina?</p><p><strong>It says that a vote for Darline Graham is a vote for someone who will likely continue Lindsey Graham&#8217;s policies, be loyal to John Thune, and vote to protect corporate welfare schemes. </strong></p><p>When you consider that Lindsey Graham had a disappointing 59% lifetime conservative rating, that John Thune is currently on a 5-week recess instead of fighting for the SAVE America Act, and that corporate welfare has enriched the green energy lobby to the point where it can buy elections, the interests funding Darline Graham&#8217;s campaign prove she&#8217;s not the best choice.</p><p>And for those who may think President Trump will keep her in line, he will only be in office for two of the six years of her Senate term. Who&#8217;s going to hold her accountable when he&#8217;s gone?</p><div><hr></div><h4>Path to Victory</h4><p>If the election were held today, we believe Ralph Norman would win. One poll reported this week had Norman leading Graham by 12 points in the runoff. This makes sense given that two-thirds of the August 11th primary voters supported someone other than Graham, even though they knew she was Lindsey Graham&#8217;s sister and President Trump&#8217;s choice. Voters didn&#8217;t buy it. </p><p>But the election is not today, and a barrage of ads is about to hit the state, telling voters that Ralph Norman is a Trump-hating liberal. It&#8217;s garbage. But they have to do this because if they explained the real reasons why they oppose him, Norman would win in a landslide. They know that South Carolina Republicans would love to have a senator who fights for their values &#8212; even if that means standing up to John Thune and corporate interests. </p><p>Here&#8217;s what you can do to help:</p><ol><li><p><strong>Contact Republicans you know in South Carolina and urge them to ignore the false ads and vote for Ralph Norman on August 25th.</strong> Turnout will be very low, so every vote has a big impact. </p></li><li><p><strong><a href="https://secure.senateconservatives.com/lwm32/d?c=c89d46d5a">Contribute to Ralph Norman&#8217;s campaign.</a></strong> He&#8217;s up against some big money, so he needs help to get his conservative message out. If you contribute to him through SCF, we will pay all processing fees and transfer 100% of your donation to his campaign.</p></li></ol><p>Thank you for being part of our team and doing so much to help build a conservative Senate. We know that the Senate is the problem in DC, and the only way to fix it is to elect true conservatives who will fight for America&#8217;s future. We have a chance to do that in South Carolina on August 25th, and we&#8217;re grateful for your support.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2"

Now, we need to work together to finish the job.</p><p>There are two reasons why Norman can win this two-week sprint to the Republican nomination:</p><ol><li><p><strong>Darline Graham underperformed.</strong> Everyone knew she was Lindsey Graham&#8217;s sister, and everyone knew the president endorsed her, yet two-thirds of Republicans chose someone else. Grassroots conservatives understand the president&#8217;s affection for Lindsey Graham, and they don&#8217;t dislike Darline. They just don&#8217;t want to take a chance on an untested candidate when we desperately need true conservatives in the U.S. Senate.</p></li><li><p><strong>Ralph Norman overperformed.</strong> Pre-election polls had Norman in a three-way tie for second place, but when all the votes were counted, he was in a solid second place. And this came after he was outspent by the third and fourth-place finishers. Norman is now positioned to win a large majority of the voters who didn&#8217;t vote for him or for Graham in the primary.</p></li></ol><div><hr></div><h4>Take Action Now</h4><p>We have a chance to send a strong MAGA conservative to the Senate from South Carolina this year. <em><strong>But we must act right now.</strong></em></p><p><strong><a href="https://secure.senateconservatives.com/lwm32/d?c=3707aedd">Please make a one-time contribution to Ralph Norman&#8217;s campaign.</a></strong></p><p>SCF will pay all processing fees and transfer 100% of your contribution directly to this campaign. </p><p>Ralph Norman has been in Congress for nine years, and he&#8217;s built a 98% conservative lifetime rating.

scientists smeared as fringe cranks, the emails pried loose one FOIA lawsuit at a time, then the committee vote tomorrow is the closest thing to a reckoning the Senate has managed to produce. </p><p>It deserves our attention and clear understanding, because the case is stronger than the coverage suggests.</p><p>Here is what happened, what the resolution actually does, and what to watch for.</p><div><hr></div><h4>What Happened on July 29</h4><p>Chairman Paul subpoenaed Fauci to appear before the committee, which is investigating risky gain-of-function research and the origins of COVID-19. The subpoena letter told him plainly what the subject would be: the origins of COVID-19, risky life sciences research, and his tenure as a federal employee.</p><p>Fauci showed up, he was sworn in, and he read a prepared opening statement discussing his years in government, his prior testimony to Congress, and the records the committee has released. </p><p><strong>Then he announced he would not answer a single question and invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.</strong></p><p>He kept invoking it. By the end of the morning, he did so 111 times.</p><p>Chairman Paul overruled the privilege, directed him to answer, and warned him he could be held in contempt. &#8220;There will be repercussions to your refusal to testify today,&#8221; Paul told him. Fauci refused again. </p><p>Paul said he genuinely wanted to hear from Fauci &#8212; an apology, some acknowledgment that errors in judgment were made. None of it came.</p><div><hr></div><h4>The Pardon Problem</h4><p>Here is the part that makes this different from every other contempt fight you have watched fizzle.</p><p>On January 19, 2025, in the final hours of his presidency, Joe Biden granted Anthony Fauci what the pardon document calls &#8220;A Full and Unconditional Pardon&#8221; for any federal offenses he may have committed from January 1, 2014 through the date of the pardon &#8212; anything arising from his service as NIAID director, as a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force and COVID-19 Response Team, or as Chief Medical Advisor to the President.</p><p>Think about what that means.</p><p>The Fifth Amendment protects a witness from being compelled to give testimony that could be used to prosecute him. That is the entire basis of the privilege. <strong>Where the possibility of prosecution has been removed, courts have long held that the privilege generally has nothing left to protect. </strong>It is why prosecutors grant immunity to compel testimony in the first place.</p><p>Biden&#8217;s pardon removed the possibility of prosecution for that eleven-year window &#8212; the exact window covering the decisions Americans want answers for.</p><p>Paul tested this directly at the hearing. He asked Fauci whether, at any point during the period the pardon covers, he destroyed a federal record or instructed anyone else to do so. He narrowed the question explicitly to the pardoned period. Fauci still refused, citing the Fifth.</p><p>&#8221;We believe that with his &#8230; immunity from criminal liability, that he didn&#8217;t need to hide behind&#8221; the Fifth Amendment, Paul told reporters afterward. &#8220;That&#8217;ll be a legal question.&#8221;</p><p>Indeed, it will. But it is a question the pardon created for him. The pardon was issued to protect him. It may turn out to be the instrument that strips him of his last place to hide.</p><div><hr></div><h4>The Waiver Problem</h4><p>There is a second argument in the contempt resolution, and it is the one with the cleanest precedent.</p><p>Fauci did not remain silent. He gave a prepared statement addressing the very subject matter the committee summoned him to discuss &#8212; his federal tenure, his previous testimony, and the documents the committee produced. He spoke about the substance, but then refused to be questioned about it.</p><p>You cannot testify selectively. You do not get to deliver your version of events and then pull the curtain shut before anyone tests it. The resolution&#8217;s finding is that <strong>Fauci waived the privilege through his own opening statement</strong>.</p><p>If that sounds familiar, it should. In 2013, IRS official Lois Lerner sat before a House committee, read an opening statement asserting she had done nothing wrong, and then took the Fifth. The House held her in contempt for doing so.</p><div><hr></div><h4>What Happens Next</h4><p>Read the operative language, and you will see how narrow and procedural this is. It&#8217;s a feature, not a bug.</p><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p>Under sections 102 and 104 of the Revised Statutes (2 U.S.C. 192 and 194), the resolution directs the President of the Senate to certify the committee&#8217;s report on Fauci&#8217;s refusal to the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, &#8220;to the end that Dr. Fauci be proceeded against in the manner and form provided by law.&#8221;</p></div><p>That is the whole mechanism. Congress does not convict anyone. It certifies a record and hands it to a prosecutor.</p><p>The path from here runs in three steps:</p><ol><li><p><strong>Committee vote &#8212; Thursday.</strong> Republicans hold the majority on HSGAC. The resolution is expected to be reported out.</p></li><li><p><strong>Full Senate vote.</strong> A committee referral is not self-executing, which means the chamber must act. What will Senate Democrats do?</p></li><li><p><strong>Justice Department decides.</strong> Criminal contempt under 2 U.S.C. &#167; 192 is a misdemeanor punishable by up to 12 months in prison.</p><div><hr></div></li></ol><h4>What We Will Hear from the Left</h4><p>Fauci&#8217;s defense is that this is personal. He accused Paul of an &#8220;unhinged obsession&#8221; with him and said the only purpose of the hearing was to extract something to vindicate Paul&#8217;s public promises to see him behind bars. Committee Democrats echoed it: ranking member Gary Peters called the exercise &#8220;relitigating the past,&#8221; and Sen. Richard Blumenthal called it a &#8220;show trial.&#8221;</p><p>That is a complaint about motive, not a legal defense. A witness under a valid subpoena does not get to decline on the grounds that he dislikes the chairman.</p><p>Fauci&#8217;s lawyers will also argue the pardon does not eliminate all jeopardy &#8212; it covers conduct through January 19, 2025, but it cannot immunize him for anything after that date, and it cannot immunize him against a perjury or false-statements charge arising from <em>new</em> testimony. That is a real argument, but if Fauci had simply chosen to tell the truth now, he would have nothing to fear. </p><div><hr></div><h4>Why This Matters</h4><p>Chairman Paul&#8217;s contempt resolution is important because the alternative is that a subpoena means nothing.</p><p>Set Fauci aside and ask the institutional question: can a Senate committee compel testimony from a former senior federal official about how he spent taxpayer money and what he told the American people? If the answer is that he can appear, make his case in an opening statement, refuse every question, and walk out with a pardon in his pocket and no consequence whatsoever, then congressional oversight is nothing more than a ceremony.</p><p>Thursday&#8217;s vote is not the end of anything. It is the committee putting a record on the table and forcing everyone downstream &#8212; the full Senate, the U.S. Attorney, the courts &#8212; to decide in public whether accountability applies here.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank"

These radicals hate our Constitution, our God-given rights, and our sovereignty. Yet 40 percent of Democrats &#8212; especially elites &#8212; already prefer these &#8220;democratic socialists&#8221; to their own party.</p><p>And it shows. DSA candidates are winning stunning victories in Democrat primaries this year &#8212; in local races, state races, and U.S. House races. Their extremist ideas are starting to leak into Senate campaigns, too.</p><p>This is where Graham Platner &#8212; the disgraced Maine Democrat Senate candidate with the Nazi tattoos &#8212; came from. Same for James Talarico, the Texas Democrat who says God is non-binary and the American flag is a &#8220;complicated symbol.&#8221; Same for Abdul El-Sayed, the frontrunner in the Senate Democrat primary in Michigan, who was just endorsed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her &#8220;Squad&#8221; of Marxist congresswomen.</p><p>Faced with this communist insurgency, what is the Republican Establishment&#8217;s strategy? To go on vacation.</p><p>And they wonder why Congress&#8217;s approval rating is so low. Democrats are talking about ending capitalism, emptying prisons, and replacing all three branches of our government. And Republicans can&#8217;t even summon the will to pass an 80% issue like voter ID.</p><div><hr></div><h4>Securing America&#8217;s Future</h4><p><span>Republican elites are not tough enough &#8212; or conservative enough &#8212; to win political fights today</span>.</p><p>If we want to save our country, we have to send more principled patriots to Washington. Empty suits with an &#8220;R&#8221; by their name are not good enough.</p><p>We need <em>real</em> America First conservatives. </p><ul><li><p>Leaders like <strong>Mike Lee</strong>, <strong>Ted Cruz</strong>, <strong>Eric Schmitt</strong>, <strong>Rick Scott</strong>, <strong>Bernie Moreno</strong>, and <strong>Ron Johnson</strong>. </p></li><li><p>Fighters like <strong>Barry Moore</strong> in Alabama, <strong>Mike Collins</strong> in Georgia, and <strong>Ken Paxton</strong> in Texas. </p></li><li><p>Future superstars like <strong>Harriet Hageman</strong> in Wyoming and <strong>Kevin Hern</strong> in Oklahoma. </p></li><li><p>Proven leaders like <strong>Ashley Moody</strong> of Florida, <strong>Roger Marshall</strong> of Kansas, and <strong>Bill Hagerty</strong> of Tennessee.</p></li></ul><p>Every conservative we can send to the Senate will become one more vote <strong><span>against the Communist Left</span></strong>. And another voice pulling GOP leaders off the sidelines and <em>into the fight</em>.</p><p>Our supported candidates run for office because they understand what the Left is really up to. They fight not because they hate Democrats but because they love America. They know how much trouble our nation is in &#8212; and how much every election counts. They know how badly we need principled, fighting conservatives on the ballot and in the Senate.</p><p>Thank you for being part of our team and for doing so much to help fight for America&#8217;s future.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank"

He knows 80% of Americans support voter ID. And he knows Senate Republicans <strong><span>have done nothing</span></strong> to deserve a six-week vacation just three months before an election that could cost them their majority.</p><p>Thune recently went on TV to defend his inaction. He said Republicans don&#8217;t have the votes. But they just got 50 votes on a voter ID budget amendment. <strong><span>Those 50</span></strong><span>, </span><strong><span>plus Vice President J.D. Vance, are enough to pass the bill!</span></strong></p><p>Thune also said the talking filibuster has not been used in a century. That&#8217;s false. The talking filibuster is how Congress passed the Civil Rights Act. The majority then did not have the votes they needed when they took up the bill. <em><strong>The open-ended debate is what forced the action.</strong></em></p><p>Why won&#8217;t John Thune do the same on voter ID? Because most senators care more about their 2.5-day workweek and their summer vacations than about election integrity. They don&#8217;t want to fight. <em><strong>They don&#8217;t even want to work.</strong></em></p><p>The very fact that the Senate is planning to abandon its posts for six weeks proves that it should stay! The Senate has a month and a half of open floor time. Senate leaders <strong><span>would rather do nothing</span></strong> than fight to secure our elections from foreign influence and Democrat corruption.</p><p>It&#8217;s outrageous and unacceptable. </p><div><hr></div><h4><strong>No Results, No Recess</strong></h4><p>Not surprisingly, Mike Lee&#8217;s fight is gaining momentum. Senate conservatives are joining his effort. <strong>Rick Scott</strong> (R-FL), <strong>Ashley Moody</strong> (R-FL), <strong>Eric Schmitt</strong> (R-MO), <strong>Bill Hagerty</strong> (R-TN)<strong>, Roger Marshall </strong>(R-KS)<strong>, </strong>and others have come out against the surrender strategy.</p><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p>As Lee said recently, <em><strong>&#8220;We don&#8217;t have a lack of time. We have a lack of spine.&#8221;</strong></em></p></div><p>Senate conservatives are trying to change that. Voter ID is a fight Republicans can win. But they will never win if they don&#8217;t try.</p><div><hr></div><h4>Support Mike Lee</h4><p>Mike Lee never stops fighting, and we will never stop fighting for him. SCF has stood with Mike Lee since his first campaign back in 2010. And we are proud to help grassroots conservatives continue to support him today.</p><p><strong><a href="https://secure.senateconservatives.com/lee/d?c=9142335c43b">Please make a one-time contribution

But even in a crowded field, Ralph Norman is easily the most conservative.</p><p>Norman has served in the U.S. House of Representatives for nine years, with a sparkling <span>98% lifetime conservative voting record</span>. He is a member of the House Freedom Caucus. He has been endorsed by Senators Mike Lee (R-UT), Rick Scott (R-FL), and our founder, former Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC).</p><p><strong>Ralph Norman has been a fighter in Washington from the moment he arrived. If you don&#8217;t know Ralph, he is a full-spectrum, MAGA, Tea Party, Pro-Life, pro-gun, pro-family patriot.</strong></p><p>Norman stands on principle against the woke Left and the GOP Establishment &#8212; and never ducks a fight. He stood up to his own party&#8217;s leaders when they worked with Joe Biden to expand government. He worked to reopen the country during the COVID lockdowns. He led fights to impeach Biden&#8217;s criminal cabinet. And he has been one of Donald Trump&#8217;s strongest allies in both terms.</p><p>Lindsey Graham&#8217;s sister, Darline Nordone, was appointed to temporarily fill her brother&#8217;s seat. Now she&#8217;s decided to run a full six-year term. She&#8217;s done a fine job under difficult personal circumstances, but South Carolina deserves a proven conservative fighter in this seat for the next term. </p><p>That&#8217;s Ralph Norman. And that&#8217;s why SCF and conservatives in South Carolina and across the nation are supporting him.</p><h4>Road to Victory</h4><p>Polls show Norman with a narrow lead in a crowded field. He can win, but he needs help to compete with outside money. And with the special election just three weeks away, he needs help right now.</p><p><strong><a href="https://secure.senateconservatives.com/lwm32/d?c=bf178cf8b">Please contribute to Ralph Norman&#8217;s campaign today. </a></strong></p><p>Remember, <span>the </span>Senate Conservatives Fund is the best way for grassroots conservatives to influence Senate races around the country.</p><p>We transfer 100% of your donation to our candidates&#8217; campaigns. We pay all the fees, so every dollar you give goes directly to the front lines.</p><p>This is an all-out sprint until August 11. Norman has already hit the ground running. Now it&#8217;s up to us to get him the money he needs to win.</p><p><span>Don&#8217;t forget. The Senate is the problem in Washington. And the only way to fix it is to fill the Senate with true conservatives &#8212; no RINOs, no excuses.</span></p><p>Thank you for being part of our team and for doing so much to help us fight for

He&#8217;s been in the middle of every big budget fight ever since: from &#8220;Cut, Cap, Balance&#8221; to the Trump tax cuts to DOGE.</p><p>He may also be the most dogged oversight investigator in Congress. As Chairman of the Senate&#8217;s Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee during the first Trump Administration, Johnson led inquiries into the Russia Hoax, Hunter Biden, and the origins of the COVID pandemic.</p><p>A fearless investigator and fiscal hawk is <em>exactly</em> what America needs leading Congress&#8217;s budget process today. Johnson is perfectly positioned to partner with President Trump&#8217;s conservative Budget Director, Russell Vought, and Vice President J.D. Vance&#8217;s anti-fraud task force.</p><p>Fighting waste, fraud, and abuse is one of the top priorities for Senate Conservatives. It could be costing taxpayers <em>$500 billion</em> every year. Criminal networks in Minnesota and California are just the beginning. There is much more to root out. And Johnson is just the man to do it.</p><p>He&#8217;s a fighter, a patriot, and an unapologetic defender of the nation&#8217;s taxpayers. America needs a conservative superstar running the Budget Committee right now.</p><p>And in Senator Ron Johnson, we&#8217;re going to get one.</p><div><hr></div><h4>Winning the Long Game</h4><p>The DC establishment has been playing the long game in the Senate for years &#8212; hand-picking and funding pro-establishment candidates who will help the current leadership maintain power for decades.</p><p>SCF is dedicated to defeating these efforts by backing true conservatives who will shake up Washington and fight for less government and more freedom.</p><p>Back in 2010 and 2012, we succeeded in doing just that &#8212; helping to fund grassroots candidates like <strong>Ron Johnson</strong> (R-WI), <strong>Mike Lee</strong> (R-UT), <strong>Ted Cruz</strong> (R-TX), <strong>Rand Paul</strong> (R-KY), and <strong>Marco Rubio</strong> (R-FL). </p><p>The DC establishment said they couldn&#8217;t win, and then, when they gained momentum, the establishment fought to defeat them. But you stood with freedom-loving Americans across the nation and refused to back down.</p><p>Now, over a decade later, these leaders are on the frontlines in the fight for America&#8217;s future:</p><ul><li><p>Ron Johnson is now the chairman of the Budget Committee, </p></li><li><p>Mike Lee is the chairman of the Energy Committee and will become the next chairman of the Judiciary Committee, </p></li><li><p>Ted Cruz is the chairman of the Commerce Committee, </p></li><li><p>Rand Paul is the chairman of Homeland Security, and </p></li><li><p>Marco Rubio is our Secretary of State.</p></li></ul><p>None of this happens without people like you who show up and invest in conservative candidates.</p><p>Thank you for being willing to take risks on underdogs today, so they can become our leaders tomorrow.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank"

The next sixteen weeks will decide whether we send more conservative fighters to Washington to stand with President Trump. Or whether more liberal elites are sent to weaponize Congress to destroy him and the America First agenda.</p><p>That&#8217;s the choice Americans will face in November. And this fight is going to come down to just a few races. New polls from three key states show just how close this election is right now &#8212; and how hard America needs grassroots conservatives to fight.</p><div><hr></div><h4><strong>FLORIDA</strong></h4><p>Polls from Florida are consistently giving incumbent  Senator <strong>Ashley Moody</strong> the lead in her race to finish the remainder of now-Secretary of State Marco Rubio&#8217;s term. Several surveys since April have shown Moody with leads of 3 to 13 points. The most recent has her ahead of <span>the top Democratic challenger,&nbsp;Alexander Vindman, by 7 points &#8212; 47% to&nbsp;</span>40%.</p><p>Vindman, you may remember, was a key figure in the attempted Deep State coup known as the &#8220;Russia Hoax.&#8221; If elected, he is sure to be a cheerleader for yet another partisan impeachment of President Trump.</p><div><hr></div><h4><strong>GEORGIA</strong></h4><p>The Senate race in Georgia is the other way around. MAGA workhorse Rep. <strong>Mike Collins</strong> closely trails Democrat incumbent Senator Jon Ossoff. The most recent poll, from late June, gives Ossoff a four-point lead, 47% to 43%, with 10% undecided.</p><p>A four-point deficit actually bodes well for Collins. Georgia is now a purple state, and Ossoff began the general election campaign with a huge fundraising edge. Despite a tough primary and runoff, Collins has already gotten himself within striking distance. His top issues &#8212; immigration, crime, and election integrity &#8212; resonate with Georgia voters.</p><p>SCF is committed to helping Collins raise the funds he needs to get his message out. This is going to be a close &#8212; and expensive &#8212; race all the way. And it&#8217;s one of conservatives&#8217; best chances for a pickup in 2026.</p><div><hr></div><h4><strong>TEXAS</strong></h4><p>Speaking of close and expensive campaigns&#8230;</p><p>The Texas Senate race between conservative state Attorney General <strong>Ken Paxton</strong> and woke Democrat weirdo James Talarico continues to be neck and neck.</p><p>Of the six June polls of this race, three give Paxton leads of 1 or 2 points; one puts Talarico up 2; and two others have it tied.</p><p>Left-wing elites are stuffing Talarico&#8217;s campaign with money, salivating at the prospect of turning Texas blue. Senator Ted Cruz has been warning national Republicans not to sleep on this race. Texans who aren&#8217;t paying close attention, he says, could be charmed by the corporate media&#8217;s biased narrative.</p><p>This race is going to come down to getting the truth about Talarico out to Texas voters. Every dollar we can raise for Ken Paxton is another fact he can put on the air about his opponent.</p><div><hr></div><h4><strong><span>THE SCF DIFFERENCE</span></strong></h4><p>Donating to candidates through the Senate Conservatives Fund is the best way for grassroots conservatives to influence the November elections. We transfer 100% of your contribution to candidates&#8217; campaigns for maximum impact. </p><p>&#9989;  No hidden fees. </p><p>&#9989;  No vendors taking 80% of the money without you knowing it. </p><p>&#9989;  And no party committees diverting funds to help weak Republicans!</p><p>These <em>&#8220;Hard Money&#8221;</em> donations let our conservative candidates purchase campaign ads at the lowest rates possible &#8212; meaning money you give to SCF goes farther than giving to any PAC or party.</p><p><strong><a href="https://secure.senateconservatives.com/lwm32/d?c=15fd4978f">Please support SCF and our candidates today!</a></strong></p><p>SCF is the only organization dedicated to sending fighting, principled conservatives to the United States Senate. No RINOs. No Establishment squishes. No shape-shifting politicians. And no excuses. We only endorse rock-ribbed, America First, MAGA patriots.</p><p>In the fight to save this country, we&#8217;re all in. And so are our candidates. If you are, too, now is the perfect time to join the fray.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank"

the House. </p><p>Senator Graham&#8217;s last phone call with President Trump was about his efforts to pass the SAVE America Act.</p><p>Conservatives have disagreed with Senator Graham on many issues over the years, but we&#8217;ve always respected his willingness to fight for what he believed in and appreciated it when he was on our side.</p><p>His fight &#8212; his sense of urgency &#8212; is lacking in Washington today.</p><p>And now that he&#8217;s suddenly gone, there&#8217;s a lesson for Senate Republicans and for every freedom-loving American.</p><p>Life is short.

So, it&#8217;s incumbent upon each of us to use our time to fight for liberty. </p><p>When Senate Republicans meet for their weekly lunch a few hours from now, our hope and prayer is that Lindsey&#8217;s passing will inspire them to fight for America&#8217;s future now.

He was a happy warrior who never held a grudge; he&#8217;d disagree with you vehemently on an issue, then be your best ally on the next political battle.

Every one of our kids is now going to be an owner of the biggest producers in our country.&#8221;</strong></em></p></div><p>If anything, Cruz may be understating his idea&#8217;s potential. By giving children access to equity markets and compound returns, TRUMP Accounts could change the way young Americans save for college and first homes. Economists are even speculating that, in time, TRUMP Accounts could create a national groundswell to reform Social Security.</p><p>Just like IRAs and 401(k)s transformed the way Americans retire, TRUMP Accounts could change the way Americans <em>begin</em> their life journeys. This could turn out to be one of the great conservative reforms of the 21st century.</p><p>In a city full of talking heads and empty promises, TRUMP Accounts are a real, long-term solution to help working families save for the future and set their kids up for success.</p><p>And none of it would be possible without the principled, innovative conservative leadership of Senator Ted

And we&#8217;ll never stop. <em><strong>It&#8217;s not a burden; it&#8217;s a privilege.</strong></em></p><p>Fighting for freedom is what it means to <em>be</em> an American. That was true 250 years ago &#8212; and it&#8217;s still true today.</p><p>Thank you for your patriotism.

face off against the Senate&#8217;s &#8220;Give Up Caucus.&#8221; They&#8217;re the Establishment RINOs &#8212; and the plain old lazy bums &#8212; standing between America and the passage of federal voter ID reform.</p><p><strong>Voter ID is supported by 80% of Americans.</strong> Multiple versions of it have already passed the House of Representatives. One version just got 50 votes in the Senate. Senate Republicans <em>have the votes</em> to pass the bill. And they have multiple options for passing it:</p><ul><li><p>Attaching voter ID to a must-pass spending bill;</p></li><li><p>Including it in a filibuster-proof budget bill;</p></li><li><p>Forcing Democrats to conduct a &#8220;talking filibuster&#8221; until <em>THEY</em> give up;</p></li><li><p>Nuking the filibuster and passing the SAVE Act on a party-line vote.</p></li></ul><p>None of these options would be easy. None is guaranteed. But all <em><strong>could</strong></em> work. If they&#8217;re willing to put in the time, Congress <em>could </em>pass voter ID this summer.</p><p>But last week, the &#8220;Give Up Caucus&#8221; rejected all of these options. <strong>Instead,
