I think his point about the buy-in to this political program is especially good. If people think they’re paying directly into the programs they benefit from, they’ll consent to the tax — the broad base is what makes them politically viable

Border Czar Tom Homan in resurfaced Fox interview: “We need a judicial warrant for a search”

I found a Fox News interview from August 2025 where Border Czar Tom Homan acknowledges that ICE needs a judicial warrant to perform a search of private property -- contrary to an ICE memo that says agents only need an administrative warrant. Curious what he believes now.

Fox’s absurd attempt to cast Tom Homan as Trump’s good cop on immigration

I wrote about how Fox News is trying to portray Tom Homan as the immigration good cop, the professional, the cooler head -- all of which is absurd to anyone who knows the first thing about him. Fox is trying for a rebrand but the underlying policy hasn't changed.

Can’t bring myself to care about Joe Biden pardoning Hunter after saying he wouldn’t, his latest lie in a series of many lies. However it would be cool if he extended the same grace to the 360,000 other nonviolent drug offenders who face worse futures than Hunter ever did

Masterful gambit on Gaetz’s part to convince Trump to nominate him, drumming up a bunch of negative press about the sex scandal that most people had forgotten about, resign from Congress, and then withdraw from AG consideration. What cunning move will this bright conservative star make next

The Senate must reject Trump’s dangerous, unqualified cabinet nominees | Editorial Most of the president-elect's cabinet choices are woefully inexperienced, yet they all possess one very important quality: They are sycophants who put Donald Trump above America.

They're already here: To say that Donald Trump’s cabinet picks resemble a clown car would be to defame clowns, writes the @inquirer.com Editorial Board. www.inquirer.com/opinion/edit...
