Turning Point USA announced they will be hosting their own concert during the Super Bowl Halftime show, using "fully Christian, American® performers.

The NFL is not going to like this attack on their efforts to capture an international audience.

FYI Bad Bunny is an American citizen.

#Hegseth is openly advocating that soldiers can do war crimes with his backing.

This is a ridiculously broad understanding of the President's foreign affairs powers -- that the Executive Branch experiences "harms to [its] conduct of foreign affairs" when it is must spend foreign aid money appropriated in a bill signed by the President. Whither Congress's power of the purse?

After-school programs across the country have closed or reduced capacity due to funding cuts and rising costs, leaving millions of children without care and forcing many parents—especially moms—to cut working hours or leave jobs. @kedseconomist.com in TIME: time.com/7318911/afte...

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.
