VoteVets PAC Endorses Alex Vindman in Florida Senate Race
Today, VoteVets PAC is announcing that it is endorsing Alex Vindman in the Florida United States Senate race. Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Alex Vindman is a 21-year U.S. Army combat veteran who served his country in the military and as a national security expert working for presidents of both parties. He and his family left Ukraine (when it was part of the Soviet Union) as refugees when he was three years old in search of freedom and opportunityin America. Alex was wounded in Iraq and awarded a Purple Heart.
As a Lieutenant Colonel, Alex led hundreds of people in high-pressure situations where lives depended on people devoted to the mission and not themselves. His military service took him from the battlefield to the Pentagon and the White House, where he served as a Director on the National Security Council staff. After his Army career Alex dedicated himself to public service outside of uniform, helping veterans run for office so they can serve as a check on corruption and abuse of power. The following quote can be attributed to VoteVets Senior Advisor, Major General (Ret.) Paul Eaton:
"When faced with the choice between doing what is easy and doing what is right, Alex has always chosen to do what is right. His bravery, moral compass, and dedication to service over self is exactly what is needed in Washington right now. Florida voters can count on Alex to always stand up for them and deliver results. No matter how hard the challenge, Alex has proven his ability to step up and lead. Now, he's ready to lead again and we are proud to be in this fight alongside him."

Five Times Congress Nearly Passed Major Immigration Reform - But Failed
From the Gang of Eight to the 2024 border deal, the biggest bipartisan immigration compromises of the past two decades and why each one collapsed.
With Department of Homeland Security funding expiring soon, Congress is once again debating border security and immigration reform.
But finding a solution is easier said thandone. Despite every president from both parties taking interest in the topic, Congress hasn't passed comprehensive immigration reform in 40 years.
The last major reform - the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 - was a compromise that granted legal status to roughly three million unauthorized immigrants while expanding border enforcement and increasing penalties for illegal immigration.
Since then, Congress has repeatedly tried to repeat that formula - pairing legal immigration reform with tougher border enforcement - only to see major deals collapse at the finish line.
Here are the most significant times over the past two decades when Congress came close to passing major immigration reform, and why each effort failed.
Major Immigration Reform Efforts That Came Close
* Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006 (McCain-Kennedy)
* DREAM Act (2010)
* Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013 (Gang of Eight)
* Immigration Security and Opportunity Act of 2018
* Border Act of 2024
Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006
What It Was
Republican Senator John McCain and Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy spearheaded a bipartisan immigration compromise in 2006. Under their plan, unauthorized immigrants who had been in the U.S. for more than five years would have been eligible for a path to citizenship if they paid fines and back taxes. Those who had been in the country for less than five years would have been required to leave and apply for legal status from outside the country.
On enforcement, the bill proposed nearly 400 miles of new border fencing and reimbursed state and local law enforcement agencies for costs associated with stopping illegal immigration.
The proposal also expanded legal immigration. It would have increased the annual cap on H-1B high-skilled worker visas from 65,000 to 115,000, followed by automatic 20% annual increases. It would have raised the H-2B low-skilled worker visa cap from 66,000 to 200,000 per year.
What Happened
The bill passed the Republican-controlled Senate with 62 bipartisan votes.
It never received a vote in the Republican-controlled House. House Republicans were instead working on their own legislation focused narrowly on border security and increasing penalties for illegal immigration, which also never became law.
DREAM Act (2010)
What It Was
The first version of the DREAM Act was introduced in 2001 and has been reintroduced several times over the years, including as recently as 2025. It never came closer to passing than it did in 2010.
The DREAM Act - which stands for Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors - would have provided legal status to Dreamers, people who were brought to the United States illegally as children by their parents.
Under the bill, Dreamers would have been required to maintain a clean criminal record, graduate from a U.S. high school, and then either complete college or trade school or serve in the U.S. military. Meeting these requirements would place them on a path toward permanent legal residency and, eventually, earned citizenship.
What Happened
The Democratic-controlled House passed a version of the DREAM Act in 2010.
In the Democratic-controlled Senate, the bill fell four votes short of the 60-vote threshold required to overcome the filibuster.
Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013
What It Was
In 2013, a bipartisan group of senators known as the "Gang of Eight" formed a grand bargain on immigration.
Democrats Michael Bennet, Dick Durbin, Bob Menendez, and Chuck Schumer were joined by Republicans Jeff Flake, Lindsey Graham, John McCain, and Marco Rubio. Their bill proposed more sweeping reforms than any other on this list, and it came the closest to becoming law.
The bill would have nearly doubled the number of Border Patrol agents stationed at the southern border to about 40,000. It would have built roughly 700 miles of border fencing, added new surveillance technology, and made E-Verify mandatory for employers to ensure workers are authorized to be in the U.S.
On the legal immigration side, the bill would have raised the H-1B high-skilled visa cap from 65,000 to 115,000 annually, created a new low-skilled worker visa program granting between 20,000 and 200,000 visas per year depending on labor market needs, and established a new merit-based visa program allowing at least 120,000 admissions annually. It also would have created a new visa for entrepreneurs and investors capped at 10,000 per year, eliminated per-country visa caps, and exempted immigrants with PhDs or advanced STEM degrees from counting toward annual visa limits.
For unauthorized immigrants already in the U.S., the bill would have provided a path to citizenship if they paid fines and back taxes and had clean criminal records. However, this pathway would only become available once all border security provisions in the bill were fully implemented.
What Happened
The bill passed the Democratic-controlled Senate with 68 votes.
It initially appeared promising in the Republican-controlled House, with over 100 Republicans believed to be in support. But Republican Leader Eric Cantor unexpectedly lost his primary to a more conservative challenger, and pundits widely attributed the loss to Cantor's support for immigration reform. The House never voted on the bill.
Immigration Security and Opportunity Act of 2018
What It Was
In 2018, Republican Senator Susan Collins and Democratic Senator Joe Manchin formed a bipartisan "Common Sense Coalition" of 16 senators serious about immigration reform.
Their plan would have allocated $25 billion for border security, including fencing, surveillance technology, and hiring new Border Patrol agents. It also would have codified many of the first Trump administration's immigration enforcement policies, requiring future administrations to enforce immigration law.
In exchange, the bill would have made the DREAM Act law, granting Dreamers a 12-year path to earned citizenship.
What Happened
The bill failed in the Republican-controlled Senate, falling six votes short of the 60-vote threshold required to overcome the filibuster.
Border Act of 2024
What It Was
By 2024, Congress had moved on from the traditional immigration compromise model. Instead, negotiators linked border security - a Republican priority - with military aid to Ukraine and Israel and humanitarian aid to Gaza - a Democratic priority.
The "bipartisan border bill" would have expanded the president's expulsion authority for people crossing the border illegally. If illegal crossings exceeded 4,000 per day, the president could automatically and immediately remove anyone caught crossing. If illegal crossings exceeded 5,000 per day, the president would be required to automatically and immediately remove anyone caught crossing. In nearly all cases, those caught crossing illegally would not have been allowed to apply for asylum.
The bill also would have increased the standards required to qualify for asylum and streamlined the process so cases are heard faster. Asylum seekers could be rejected if they have a criminal record or if they were living safely in a third country such as Mexico.
What Happened
Despite initial bipartisan support, politics got in the way.
Donald Trump, a presidential candidate at the time hoping to campaign on border security, called the bill "a great gift to the Democrats, and a Death Wish for The Republican Party." He added: "It takes the horrible job the Democrats have done on Immigration and the Border, absolves them, and puts it all squarely on the shoulders of Republicans."
Congressional Republicans largely followed his lead. Speaker Mike Johnson, Senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, and Governor Kristi Noem all argued in some form that new border laws were unnecessary and that existing laws simply needed to be enforced.
The bill received only 43 votes in the Democratic-controlled Senate. Lisa Murkowski was the only Republican Senator to vote in favor.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 -- The National Center on Sexual Exploitation issued the following news:

NCOSE Petitions Supreme Court to Review Section 230 Ruling Immunizing Twitter for Knowing Possession and Distribution of Child Sexual Abuse Material
The National Center on Sexual Exploitation Law Center filed a petition for certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court requesting the court review a 9th Circuit Court ruling in John Doe #1 and John Doe #2 v. Twitter, Inc. that held Section 230 provided Twitter (now X) with legal immunity for knowingly possessing and distributing child sexual abuse material(CSAM), and for knowingly benefitting from a sex trafficking venture.
Plaintiffs John Doe #1 and John Doe #2 together were solicited and recruited for sex trafficking as minors. After they escaped from the manipulation, child sexual abuse material depicting them was disseminated on Twitter while they were still minors. When Twitter was alerted to this fact and the ages of the children, Twitter refused to remove the illegal material and instead continued to promote and profit from the sexual abuse of the children. Twitter even reported back to John Doe #1 that it had reviewed the video and decided that it did not violate any of their policies and would not be taken down. This resulted in the child sexual abuse material accumulating over 167,000 views before it was finally removed through federal law enforcement intervention.
"The Ninth Circuit erroneously held that Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act immunized Twitter from its own decision to continue possessing and profiting from CSAM and sex trafficking in violation of federal law. We are petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse this ruling and finally clarify the proper interpretation and scope of Section 230 protections," said Dani Pinter, Chief Legal Officer and Director of the Law Center, National Center on Sexual Exploitation.
"From the beginning, Twitter has argued that it has complete immunity from suit, even if it knowingly possessed and profited from the distribution of CSAM. This is outrageous. No company, online or otherwise, is above the law. And Congress never intended Section 230, which was passed to incentivize good corporate behavior by online companies, to protect online platforms that knowingly harm children.
"Survivors who have suffered sexual abuse and exploitation at the hands of social media and other tech platforms deserve justice. Far too many victims have had the courthouse doors slammed shut while billion-dollar tech companies avoid accountability," Pinter said.
The National Center on Sexual Exploitation Law Center, the Haba Law Firm, and the Matiasic Firm represent the plaintiffs.

NCOSE Calls for Criminal Prosecutions and Survivor Protection in Epstein Case
The National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) is calling on the Department of Justice (DOJ) to fully investigate and prosecute all those who facilitated and participated in Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. NCOSE also calls for the full and comprehensive release of the Epstein files in a manner that protects victims, but not potential co-conspirators or facilitators of Epstein's crimes.
"Transparency is paramount in theEpstein case. Sex trafficking networks must be exposed. Sex buyers must be held to account. It has now been reported that the names of potential co-conspirators have been redacted, while victims' names and personal information have been exposed. This is unacceptable and must be corrected," said Dani Pinter, Chief Legal Officer and Director of the Law Center, National Center on Sexual Exploitation.
"Furthermore, the FBI and DOJ have repeatedly said that there is no evidence that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell trafficked women and girls to anyone. However, the recent document release reveals that the DOJ previously identified several co-conspirators in their 2019 investigation into Epstein for child sex trafficking. Yet the names of these co-conspirators were redacted--hidden--from the public. Such misrepresentations and obfuscations erode public trust. The names of these potential co-conspirators must be released, and they should be prosecuted for any Epstein-related crimes they committed. Additionally, the files that were already released must be relentlessly scrutinized for the crucial evidence they contain.
"The full resources and might of the law must be applied to the Epstein network without hesitation. We urge the DOJ and Congress to pursue justice for survivors. That includes ensuring their names and faces are not released in the files but instead protected as promised by the law and the DOJ. At the same time, redactions should not be used to improperly protect potential Epstein-Maxwell co-conspirators and/or facilitators.
"It is utterly unfair that we rely on survivors to bear the burden of telling their stories, reliving their pain in the public eye, while those implicated hide behind silence or privilege. NCOSE stands with the survivors in demanding increased protections for victims and the rigorous prosecution of all those who participated in any criminal activity in connection with the Epstein-Maxwell criminal network," Pinter said.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 -- Americans for Tax Reform issued the following commentary on Feb. 9, 2026:

Trump Administration Calls Out Korea for Delayed Implementation of Commitments Outlined in Trade Deal
Aiden Wegener
On January 27, United States Trade Representative Jameson Greer called out the Republic of Korea (ROK) for not promptly adhering to commitments made in the latest trade deal with the U.S. This followed an announcement by U.S. President Donald Trump that he would raise tariffs on Korea to 25% as a punitive measure for not living up to the trade deal. By not promptly adhering toits end of the trade deal, Korea has deliberately kept in place discriminatory barriers to U.S. firms in the digital space.
American tech firms face significant barriers and discriminatory treatment across the board that must be addressed and dealt with promptly in order to promote an open and fair market for both countries. For example, U.S. map providers, including Google Maps, have been blocked from offering a fully functional maps service due to restrictions in exporting map data put in place by Korea. Additionally, Korea passed an online censorship law that would censor online speech, something that is incompatible with many U.S.-based online platforms.
Korea has been notably restrictive to the emerging AI market as well, passing several laws that disproportionately target U.S. AI providers and limit the AI market as a whole. Currently, U.S. cloud services providers are blocked from offering cloud and AI services to the public sector and regulated industries. Additionally, Korea's current AI regulation framework is incredibly restrictive and burdensome for AI providers, even more so than the EU's AI Act. These restrictions seek to limit a booming market from reaching Korean consumers and explicitly discriminate against American AI and cloud service providers.
Lastly, Korea's enforcement mechanisms for their digital regulatory framework are unnecessarily burdensome and unfair for many American companies in the digital space. The "Platform Fairness Bill," which is expected to advance in the National Assembly until March, includes ex-ante requirements and prohibitions for online platforms that will disproportionately impact US companies and their business practices, with 10% fines of revenue. Additionally, US company executives are frequently subject to excessive criminal investigations in Korea. For example, Google has been under a multi-year investigation by the Seoul Police regarding the policies of Google's Play Store. These methods of enforcement exacerbate the negative effects of the discriminatory regulations themselves and seek to restrict and extort successful American tech firms.
These barriers are directly in opposition to the terms agreed upon in the trade deal Korea signed with the U.S. last year, which stated that the two countries would "commit to ensure that U.S. companies are not discriminated against and do not face unnecessary barriers in terms of laws and policies concerning digital services." Despite this, while Korean companies have enjoyed uninterrupted market access and fair treatment in the U.S., American tech firms continue to face these unfair barriers and treatments. Seoul has actively denied any link between the digital issues and the recent tariffs, but the trade deal explicitly states that barriers to an open digital market must be removed, and the Koreans have not held up their end of the deal. As a result, it is only natural for the U.S. to enforce punitive measures to ensure that an open digital market is maintained.
The Trump administration has acted swiftly in defending U.S. interests in foreign markets and placing pressure on Korea to adhere to the trade deal the two countries agreed to last year. Korea must remove all barriers to digital market access for American firms in order to restore the open trade relationship between the two countries. Not only does this allow for a free and open market that benefits Korean consumers, but it also maintains a positive relationship with their strongest and most supportive ally in Washington.

15th Candidate Supports Congressional Term Limits in GA CD-14 Special Election
U.S. Term Limits (USTL), the leader in the non-partisan national movement to limit terms for elected officials, praises 2026 U.S. House of Representatives candidate for Georgia, Nicky Lama (district 14), for signing the pledge for an amendment to term limit Congress. Previously, candidates Beau Brown, Eric Cunningham, Andrew Underwood, Christian Hurd, Shawn Harris, Brian Stover, Jacqueline Wilmer,Colton Moore, Jenna Turnipseed, Rob Ruszkowski, Star Black, James Brown, Reagan Box and Clay Fuller also signed the pledge.
U.S. Term Limits has the support of more than 150 pledge signers in Congress. USTL President Philip Blumel commented on their pledges saying, "This overwhelming support of term limits shows that there are individuals who are willing to put self-interest aside to follow the will of the people. America needs a Congress that will be served by citizen legislators, not career politicians."
The U.S. Term Limits amendment pledge is provided to every announced candidate for federal office. It reads, "I pledge that as a member of Congress, I will cosponsor and vote for the U.S. Term Limits amendment of three (3) two-year House terms and two (2) six-year Senate terms and no longer limit."
Blumel noted, "We have seen a dramatic increase in supporters wanting term limits on Congress. More than 87% of Americans have rejected the career politician model and want to replace it with citizen leadership. The way to achieve that goal is through congressional term limits."
According to the latest nationwide poll on term limits conducted by Pew Research, term limits enjoy wide bipartisan support. Pew's analysis states, "An overwhelming majority of adults (87%) favor limiting the number of terms that members of Congress are allowed to serve. This includes a majority 56% who strongly favor this proposal, just 12% are opposed."
Blumel concluded, "America is in trouble. Our career politicians have let the people down. It is time to return control of our nation to the people. It is time for a constitutional amendment limiting congressional terms."
The term limits amendment resolutions would require a two-thirds majority in the house and senate, and ratification by 38 states, in order to become part of the U.S. Constitution.
