It took more than 200 years for the national debt to hit one trillion. The national debt just increased by one trillion dollars in the past 70 days. There are no brakes on this train. None.

The Constitution doesn’t permit a president to act as the legislature and judiciary on top of being the chief executive. If it’s war, he must go to Congress. If it’s crime, he must go to court. When there’s no imminent danger, there’s no justification for unilateral strikes.
Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."

Play socialist games win socialist prizes. An economy centrally planned in your favor can just as easily be centrally planned out of your favor. Solution: stop centrally planning.

The Constitution does not require the president to notify Congress; it requires the president to get permission from Congress.
NOW - Trump says he will notify Congress of U.S. military strikes likely to occur against drug traffickers on foreign soil: "We have to do it to save lives."

Two people survived one of the recent boat strikes. They were not detained, not checked for drugs, not prosecuted. They were sent back to be tried in their own country. If the strike was based on the assumption that the boat was carrying drugs, and the survivors weren’t even

The Trump administration supports gun control.
Instead of dropping it all together, the Trump DOJ is going to argue before the Supreme Court that Marijuana users don’t deserve 2nd Amendment Rights.

The GOP supports gun rights the same way they support lowering spending: they don't.

Training Texans for high-demand careers is important, but Prop 1 isn’t the right tool. It creates two permanent constitutional funds ($850 M total) outside the treasury, appropriations process, and spending cap. Once in the Constitution, those dollars flow automatically with

I appeared on The Tracy Show with Tracy Carson to discuss the upcoming 2026 Senate race in Texas. It includes difficulties in running for office as an alternative candidate, as well as discussion of some important current issues.

Like hundreds of other activists aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla, I was abducted by the IDF and held in Ketziot prison. There, I saw firsthand that Israel’s “strength” is more fragile than it seems. https://t.co/c12PlFE0lm

Genuinely scary how many people have become convinced overnight to claim fentanyl comes into the US due to Venezuela, even though Venezuela has basically nothing to do with the entrance of fentanyl into the US, as US Govt reports make clear. Frighteningly easy to sell new wars:
@SystemUpdate_ @ggreenwald Because fentanyl is killing tens of thousands of Americans a year and a lot of the terrorists pumping that crap in our country either reside or do business there!!

Ameal and Jordan saved over $40,000 so Ameal could rise from truck driver to truck owner. But that dream collapsed when police seized their life savings on the side of the road and then tried to keep it using #CivilForfeiture. They were never arrested or even charged with a

So Libertarians have been doing the whole "No Kings" thing since 1971 when the @LPNational was formed in opposition to another Authoritarian named Richard Nixon taking us off the gold standard and prolonging the Vietnam War. We have been #NoKings for decades. You should rule
