I am profoundly saddened by the loss of @charliekirk11. Last night, while on a panel at Georgetown, the hostility toward law enforcement was unmistakable. Intolerance and the collapse of civil discourse fuel tragedies like this. To the thousands of students shaped by Charlie’s

Public safety is under attack, not just by criminals, but by a justice system and politicians who keep releasing them. A repeat violent offender with a long rap sheet is back on the streets. The community gets no safety, only a warning. Reckless. Dangerous. Unacceptable.
🚨BREAKING UPDATE: Violent offender in Colorado, previously facing murder charges, has been released from custody and identified as a refugee from Tanzania. Debisa Ephraim was found incompetent to stand trial and was released from jail yesterday. Because he hasn’t been

There is a double standard in how the media covers interracial violence. When the victim is black, it’s national news. When the victim is white, it’s often ignored. This is called selection bias. And it’s creating division. The goal is equality. Not to flip inequality.

Chicago Alderman @RaymondALopez might be the only voice of reason left in City Hall.
"We have a political elite that is in love with criminality." Listen in as @RaymondALopez explains why Chicago remains the murder capital of the country, despite @ChicagosMayor's claim crime is "down." Speaking bluntly, Lopez calls Mayor Johnson a liar on crime.

Law enforcement partnerships work, and have for decades! (My shirt from a 1990s task force.) They take the most violent criminals off the streets and keep communities safe. Why leaders like @ChicagosMayor, @GovPritzker, and @CAgovernor refuse to use this proven tool is beyond me.
President Trump is right about Chicago’s Crime Crisis, and everyone agrees, even MSDNC: “JB Pritzker should do something radical! He should pick up the phone and call the president because the 'nothing to see here' move isn't working” https://t.co/JeXqA2M33t

Thank you to @bennyjohnson for the opportunity and interest.
Former US Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund reveals how Nancy Pelosi’s leadership repeatedly denied critical National Guard support requests days before and during January 6th, leaving officers overwhelmed and vulnerable: “Let me take you back to a couple days before January 6th.

I wore a badge almost as long as Zohran Mamdani has been alive, and let me be crystal clear: this is a disaster in the making. You don’t end crime by erasing laws. You end up with a LAWLESS society. Period. This isn’t reform, it’s rewarding criminals while punishing the

@SRuhle is saying what millions of Americans feel: we don’t feel safe! We’re DONE being victimized and held hostage by pro-criminal politicians, weak and compromised DAs, and broken laws. People have had ENOUGH! @AGPamBondi @USAttyPirro @CAgovernor @GlennYoungkin @SenSchumer

Not surprised President Trump came to Anacostia in Southeast DC to stand with law enforcement. His support means a lot to the men and women in uniform who risk their lives daily to keep our communities safe. Compare that to protestors in Northwest, unleashing profanity-laced

Let this sink in: Washington, D.C. had 497 carjackings in 2024 and already 190 this year. Since the new crime initiative launched last week? Just ONE. That’s what real action looks like. @RepJeffries @SenSchumer @SpeakerJohnson

As a 25-year DC Police veteran, I know these crime-fighting initiatives work. We’ve implemented them before with local and federal partners, including the National Guard, and they made our communities safer. If anyone else had taken this action, they’d be praised for decisive

Ma’am, it is long past time to be honest with the American people. On January 3, I requested National Guard assistance, but your Sergeant at Arms denied it. Under federal law (2 U.S.C. §1970), I was prohibited from calling them in without specific approval. That same day, Carol
Donald Trump delayed deploying the National Guard on January 6th when our Capitol was under violent attack and lives were at stake. Now, he’s activating the DC Guard to distract from his incompetent mishandling of tariffs, health care, education and immigration — just to name a

Where we are today has been a long time in the making. In 2020 the D.C. Council passed severe anti-police legislation, effectively handcuffing the D.C. Police Department. Between May 30 -June 1, as the White House came under attack, the D.C. Police, an agency created by Congress

What an incredible act of generosity and a beautiful reminder that America never forgets the families of those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedoms. Thank you Mr. Sinise. WELL DONE! @GarySinise @GarySiniseFound

I spent 25 years patrolling the streets of Washington, D.C. I know this city can be the safest in the world, if we fix what’s broken. When prosecutors refuse to paper cases (prosecute) and sympathetic juries let violent offenders walk free, our hard work on the streets is undone.
