## Resource

Trump kicks off the first ever midterm convention in American history from Texas, and true to form, turns a 90 minute speech into a genuine tour through everything: record breaking foreign investment, a proposed $5,000 "Trump dividend" for every adult if Republicans win, renamed lakes and states, and a truly memorable rant about a certain NBA trade. There's the expected roll call of endorsements, Ken Paxton, Michael Whatley, and some pointed, colorful jabs at their opponents, plus a serious, sobering stretch honoring Charlie Kirk on the anniversary of his death and remembering victims of violent crime. Between the applause lines on drug pricing, tariffs, and Iran's dwindling nuclear ambitions, there's classic Trump riffing on everything from Babe Ruth trades to correspondents dinner reporters. It's part rally, part roast, part policy rundown, with a closing call to action that sounds less like campaign season and more like a battle cry.
