A few thoughts: 1) This attack should not have happened without Congressional authorization. This is no mere technicality -- it's the framer's foundational design for how the republic should wage war. 2) Khamenei's death is a great victory, but we've all been on this

Wrong again Bozo Adolf. @StephenM
To anyone still gullible enough to fall for scummy media hoaxes: Trump said warmongering neocons love sending your kids to die for wars they would never fight themselves. Liz Cheney is Kamala’s top advisor. Liz wants to invade the whole Middle East. Kamala = WWIII. Trump = Peace.

The problem with @ByronDonalds and every other Populist is that shouting lies quickly over a media anchor doesn’t make your argument any more true. He simply is lying about the economy. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 🙄

Dehumanizing people leads to the worst outcomes. I know that from history.
According to Kristi Noem, ICE deported a "cannibal," a man so feral that he attempted to "eat himself" while on the deportation flight. I am shocked — SHOCKED — to learn that this was a complete fabrication

What a wonderful moment. What a fitting 46-year follow-up to the Miracle on Ice.
I don’t follow hockey, but this had me tearing up. They brought their teammate’s (who was killed by a drunk driver) kids out onto the ice with their dad’s jersey to celebrate the moment. 🥹

I’m not sure there’s ever been a president more distant from the ideals of the Founders of the United States and the Framers of the Constitution—and more detached from the core American culture of liberty, individualism, and self-determination—than President Trump.

Trump could have written and submitted a tariff bill for enactment by Congress. It happened often in the 19th and early 20th centuries. He didn't do that, because the point of the exercise was arbitrary presidential power - and the corruption possibilities that flow from

Relentless lying. Relentless.
BREAKING: ICE director Todd LYONS says the two officers involved in the Jan. 14 chase/shooting incident appear to have lied under oath and are being investigated by DOJ. This comes after DHS Secretary Kristi Noem defended them as firing in self-defense. https://t.co/ilkDWT6ZrU

Polls show Donald Trump slipping — even behind Joe Biden. If the era of invincibility is ending, the harder question begins: WHAT HAPPENS AFTER TRUMP? https://t.co/qB8hueksBB

Small reminder: if you took conservative positions on the Constitution, the economy, foreign policy, or basic morality and then radically changed them solely because a Republican was elected president who changed the party’s positions, you were never really a conservative, you

Woman of integrity. Woman of courage. Woman of Christ.
I share this post in earnest and (what may prove a naive) hope that a few people caught in the situation I’m about to describe will hear instead of rushing to the usual tropes, criticisms and caricatures. For what it’s worth, I offer this in good faith. Between 2016 and 2022, I

Racist. Deranged. Humiliating to our country. The fact that we have decided to pretend to this is normal every day is a moral abomination. Have we any shame? And every day an entire generation is being told it is “Christian” to support this. God have mercy on us.

I've attended the National Prayer Breakfast for much of the past two decades. I staffed the President and worked on his speech there for four years. I wrote extensively about the breakfast in my first book. One purpose of the Breakfast in history has been to position presidents
