NASHVILLE, TN – The Red Wave just got a massive surge of energy in the Volunteer State! In a stunning display of political force that has the Democrat establishment trembling,
Matt Van Epps—the candidate hand-picked and endorsed by President Donald Trump—has officially WON the special election for Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District.
This victory is not just a local win; it is a national statement. The message to Washington is loud and clear:
The MAGA movement is UNSTOPPABLE.
Political analysts are calling this the “Trump Effect” in action. While the mainstream media tries to downplay the former President’s influence, the voters have spoken with a resounding voice.
The Golden Ticket: President Trump’s endorsement remains the most powerful weapon in Republican politics. When Trump gave the nod to Van Epps, the momentum shifted instantly.
Total Domination: Van Epps didn’t just win; he defeated Democrat Aftyn Behn in a race that framed the clear choice between
The defeat of the Democrat candidate is being hailed as a major repudiation of the Biden-Harris administration’s policies. Tennessee voters turned out to reject:
Open Borders: Van Epps ran on a platform of security and sovereignty.
Economic Failure: Voters chose the candidate who promised to bring back the booming economy of the Trump era.
Woke Culture: The rejection of Aftyn Behn is seen as a direct “NO” to the radical social policies being pushed by the Left.
Insiders report that Democrats are in
PANIC MODE. This special election was viewed as a bellwether for the upcoming election cycle. If a Trump-endorsed candidate can mobilize the base and secure such a decisive victory now, the prospects for Democrats retaining power are crumbling.
The “Red Wave” is not just a slogan; it is a reality building seat by seat, district by district.
Matt Van Epps is heading to Congress, but the real winner tonight is the
America First movement. The people have proven that when a candidate embraces the Trump agenda, they win.
Do you agree that Trump’s endorsement is the key to saving America?
President Donald Trump has once again floated the idea of issuing a fourth stimulus-style payment, this time in the form of a $2,000 dividend funded by tariff revenue.
But despite the buzz, Americans hoping for a holiday payout may have to wait.
On November 17, 2025, Trump addressed the timing of the proposed dividend, saying it would target “individuals of moderate income” and would likely be issued sometime in 2026, before the midterm elections.
He added: “We’ve taken in hundreds of millions of dollars in tariff money. We’re going to be issuing dividends later on… of thousands of dollars for individuals of moderate income, middle income.”
Trump also emphasized that the plan would help reduce the growing national debt, stating that part of the tariff revenue would go toward paying down the $37 trillion debt while the remainder would be distributed as dividends.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer walked away from a Republican colleague on the floor of the chamber on Saturday after he was cornered over a so-called “fix” he offered for Obamacare subsidies as the government shutdown he is leading entered its 39th day.
Schumer was engaging with Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) after the Democratic leader offered a proposal to reopen the government: A one-year funding extension of taxpayer-funded subsidies for Americans who buy health insurance under the Affordable Care Act.
During the exchange, Schumer admitted to Moreno that he did not yet have a written proposal.
“We can’t give you a counter in writing, but it’s very simple,” Schumer said. “Because we have two sentences we would add to any proposal which would extend the ACA benefits for one year.”
Moreno the revealed that the Schumer proposal did not seem to contain income caps, meaning people who make millions of dollars a year can obtain taxpayer-subsidized health care.
“It does still have no income caps, so people who make $1, $2, $3 million a year,” Moreno said before Schumer interrupted him.
“Once we pass the one-year fixed so people right now aren’t in difficulty, we would sit and negotiate that,” Schumer said. “[Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.)]has said that he won’t negotiate before. We’re willing to negotiate once the credits are extended, plain and simple.”
The Ohio Republican then responded, “So for one year, people making millions of dollars would still receive these COVID-era subsidies?”
At that, Schumer accused Moreno of caring more about billionaires before disengaging and leaving the chamber, according to reports.
“I was going to ask him before he stormed out of the room because evidently he doesn‘t want to hear any opposing views or actually engage in meaningful negotiation … Would he continue 0 dollar premiums, which we know for a FACT, have enormous levels of fraud,” Moreno said.
“If he had stayed, I would have asked him a third question: Does he want these monies to go directly to insurance companies?”
President Donald Trump appeared to gain some leverage
What began as an effort by Democrats to pressure Republicans during the shutdown negotiations has shifted in Trump’s favor, following a new proposal he unveiled on Truth Social.
In his post, the president announced a plan to redirect hundreds of billions of dollars in Obamacare subsidy payments from insurance companies to direct payments for American citizens.
“I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE, and have money left over,” Trump wrote.
“In other words, take from the BIG, BAD Insurance Companies, give it to the people, and terminate, per Dollar spent, the worst Healthcare anywhere in the World, ObamaCare. Unrelated, we must still terminate the Filibuster!” he added.
Conservative commentators lauded the proposal as “genius,” noting that the former president has effectively recast himself as an advocate for direct-to-consumer healthcare freedom. They said the plan reframes the debate as “healthcare for the people” versus the Democrats’ defense of “big insurance.”
Shortly after Trump’s post, Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) announced that he was working on legislation to turn the proposal into reality.
“Totally agree, @POTUS! I’m writing the bill right now,” Scott said. “We must stop taxpayer money from going to insurance companies and instead give it directly to Americans in HSA-style accounts and let them buy the health care they want. This will increase competition & drive down costs.”
