The Halo ICE meme is a litmus test for those that understand what government propaganda is and isn't.
Companies putting on politically adjacent events, and cosmetics in their games for things they actively support and believe in is not the same as the DHS using Halo as a "meme".

Like many Never Trumpers and other people with a public profile, I have been on the receiving end of death threats for years just for speaking my mind.
No one in America should risk being killed for exercising their right to speak, no matter how despicable you think their views might be.

Welcome to the Resistance, Mr. Chief Justice.
BREAKING: Chief Justice Roberts issues a rare statement:
"For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose."

Finally catching a breath after an incredible Summit.
Thanks to everyone who joined us. (And especially my wife, Cecilia, and daughter, Adrienne, for putting up with my busy schedule these last few weeks! Love you guys.) I hope you all left inspired and ready to fight for our country. I know I did.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:
-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.
-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

House Oversight Republicans spent two years subpoenaing and deposing every person who ever had a cup of coffee with Hunter Biden over the last 20 years, but now oppose a subpoena to hear from the person really running the government who hasn’t even had a confirmation hearing.

I expect the trend away from religion to continue in America, which will likely provoke more anxiety and aggression and thirst for power from the Deus vult crowd.

The POTUS does not get to “appoint” an FBI director.
The FBI is an apolitical agency. Every single employee—save 1–is a career employee.
The director is the only appointee and he serves a 10 year term for the explicit purpose of making him apolitical.
