The tragedy is Andrew losing his title and you feel badly for the royal family? No, Mr. President.

The tragedy is the over a thousand victims of sexual abuse.

Pass Rep. Thomas Massie & my bill to release the Epstein files.

A banner that reads 'due process for all' hangs from the Governor's Mansion and outside.

Unlike Trump and Noem, Illinois follows the law.

His administration has violated the Constitution, denied people due process, and disappeared law-abiding neighbors.

I encourage the Secretary to spend less time performing for Fox News and more time protecting the Homeland.

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.

We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

While shows go on and doors stay open, there’s a lot happening behind the scenes to make that possible.

Over the past year, we have met with 37 MPs across the UK - pushing for real change, fighting for funding, and making sure grassroots venues stay on the agenda.

I need volunteers for a WW1-themed Top Gear style challenge. Buy an ox and cart, and meet up in NiΕ‘ (Serbia) in December. Then follow one of the routes of the 1915 Great Retreat to the Adriatic. Anyone who survives wins a month in a cholera hospital on the Isle of Vido. Who’s in?

description from Huntington library:

"A lithograph printed on heavy paper. Satirical "death certificate" issued for the Southern Confederacy. Mourning border, each line in different typeface, with: Died, Near the South-Side Rail Road, / on Sunday, April 9th, 1865, / The Southern Confederacy, / Aged Four Years, / Conceived in Sin, Born in iniquity, Nurtured by Tyranny, Died of / a Chronic Attack of Punch. / Abraham Lincoln, Attending Physician. / U.S. Grant, Undertaker. / Jeff Davis, Chief Mourner. Below in smaller print an epitaph that ends with: And this one line shall grace your grave-- / Your death gave freedom to the slave."
