SENATE UPDATE: Ron Johnson is on Fire 🔥
Government reopens, Ron Johnson keeps winning, and Arctic Frost scandal spreads

Last Week
Last weekend, after a record 43-day shutdown, Senate Democrats finally caved and voted to reopen the federal government. Conservatives have one — and hopefully two — big wins to take from the shutdown.
First, Republican leaders held firm against Democrats’ demands for more Obamacare subsidies. The billions they wanted to prop up their misnamed “Affordable Care Act” were left out of the deal.
Second, conservatives are taking up President Donald Trump’s call to fight on the health care issue again.
Last week, Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) made the case all Republicans should be making every day: Democrats wrecked the U.S. health care system.
Elite opinion says health care is a liberal issue. It shouldn’t be. Everything wrong with the system is the result of failed liberal policies: high prices, access restrictions, wasteful bureaucracy, and billions in corporate welfare for insurance companies.
Conservatives can fix all those problems. For the first time in a long time, the GOP may be joining that fight again.
Conservative Spotlight
RON JOHNSON — Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) continues to shine as chairman of the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. This month, he led two more bombshell hearings exposing the corruption and incompetence of the Left. First, Johnson chaired a PSI hearing on the failures of Obamacare. Witnesses exposed the truth about the law’s waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayers and patients. Then Johnson traveled to Los Angeles with Sen. Rick Scott, chairman of the Committee on Aging. The two led a field hearing about the failures of California Democrats to prepare for and respond to the Palisades fires last January. While most of Washington twiddled its thumbs during the government shutdown, Johnson fought as hard as ever.

ARCTIC FROST — Senators Rick Scott, Ted Cruz (R-TX), and Josh Hawley (R-MO) were also busy during the shutdown, digging into the Biden Administration’s growing Arctic Frost scandal. They sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, urging her to unseal grand jury documents about illegal spying on Republican lawmakers and conservative groups.
This Week
The Senate has one vote scheduled so far for the upcoming week — to confirm President Trump’s nomination of Ho Nieh to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
With the shutdown over, the Senate is also expected to start taking up individual Department spending bills for 2026.
