My new book, Autocrats vs. Democrats, was written with all Americans in mind. I wanted to explain clearly why engaging with the world, working with (not against) our allies, and supporting democracy abroad are essential to America’s national interest. Learn more here: www.amazon.com/Autocrats-vs...

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.
Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

Kirk didn't serve in the military or hold office. The war hero treatment -- half-mast flags, military guard, Air Force Two escort, calls for a statue at the Capitol or to lie in the Rotunda -- shows that for MAGA, service to Trump has become the highest, most honorable form of service.

Elon's dep. from the trump WH helps solidify Republican climate change position. An uneasy alliance at best, spotlighting Elon who headed Tesla. Now R's can revert to their regularly scheduled programs of climate change denialism; it's an opportunity for Ds to highlight their enviornmental message.

maybe a hot take but you can simultaneously acknowledge
1) that republicans are awful and their bill will destroy Medicaid so they can cut taxes for the super rich
2) that, in order to be as effective an opposition party as possible, Dems really need to stop running elderly candidates

I was very proud of the way President Ramaphosa performed in the Oval Office.
President Trump argued with President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa over Trump's false claims of mass killings of Afrikaners during an Oval Office meeting on Wednesday. Ramaphosa sought to explain the reality in his nation, pushing back on Trump's amplification of fringe theories.
