New at The Watch:
The Democrats' demands to "reform" Trump's immigration thugs aren't reforms at all. They're already the law, the Constitution, and widely accepted police practices. And in a free society, they'd never be negotiable.

The Constitution is not a bargaining chip for a budget negotiation
The Democrats demanded that Trump's immigration cops follow the law and the Constitution. The Republicans called those demands "nonstarters."

If you're wondering how CBS News under Bari Weiss is covering Stephen Colbert's stunning revelation that the network blocked his interview with a Texas Democrat... It isn't. Silence both on the air and online.

So we launched an unprovoked military operation, seized and sold a foreign country’s natural resources, and stashed the profits in a bank in Qatar.
The Energy Secretary calls this “diplomacy,” but I don’t think that word means what he thinks it means.

Chris Wright on seized Venezuelan oil: "We've sold about $1 billion of oil so far. We've recently signed agreements to sell about another $5 billion in the next several months. So you're talking well north of $10 billion a year ... this is way out of the box, groundbreaking Trump diplomacy."

Ukraine regained more territory than it has since 2023, largely because of Musk’s belated decision to deny Russian forces the use of Starlink. Which shows in turn how Musk has empowered Russian forces for the last two years.
