The Supreme Court is slowly strangling the Constitution With the Supreme Court’s decision in this case, yet another dagger is aimed at the very heart of the Constitution.

“A firmer hold and a tighter grip.”

249 years ago, our Founders pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to secure liberty and self-government against a tyrant king. July 4th is a renewal of our responsibility: to preserve the republic, to guard individual rights, and to nurture an informed and virtuous citizenry.
Happy 4th!

Enjoy this moment of Clarity!

Oooh, ahhh...that's how this always starts. Glad handing, back-slapping and high-fiving. But then comes the running and screaming when they have to face the voters for what they just did to them. #BigBeautifulBill
Oh well...

Witness History - Drill, baby, drill! - BBC Sounds The story behind the catchy political slogan much loved by US President Donald Trump

Nothing like a good origin story...

Opinion | The Supreme Court gave Trump a permission slip for mass deportation The administration may soon be sending immigrants to countries they don't even know.

All in our name.

Opinion | Trump’s bombing achieved less than Obama’s nuclear accord History shows airstrikes can delay enrichment. But only diplomacy can stop it.

A lot of folks are asking that question. But this version of the GOP is effed. So, it will matter how Republicans like my guests are prepared to restore those definitional principles of a once proud party and lead a post-trump GOP. Enjoy my conversation with republicans trying to do just that.

Opinion | House Republicans decide to stand with DOGE's death and destruction in vote Congress will soon vote on whether Elon Musk's slashing of foreign aid was OK.

Despite the distractions from faux breakups to indicting a US Representative for carrying out her oversight duties to bum-rushing a US Senator for trying to do the same, let's not forget this is what Trump & MAGA GOP don't want to talk about.

I love @repstaceyplaskett.bsky.social unfiltered. Extremely unfiltered. There is frustration among Democrats hearing people say that they aren't doing anything. Rep. Plaskett has thoughts. She also talks about how Medicaid cuts would hurt Americans.

Musk Called Trump Privately Before Posting Message of ‘Regret’

Elon: “I regret some of my posts about President [Trump] last week. They went too far.”

Trump: “I really haven’t thought too much about it."

These two are full of crap.
Stay focused on their gutting of programs and services for the poor, not their fake drama.

Just so we understand what this is and what it isn't but also knowing all of it is Trump's precursor to go after a bigger target: Elections 2026.

Analysis | Rubio’s claim that it’s ‘a lie’ that people have died from foreign-aid cuts The secretary of state rejected convincing evidence documented in news reports and by disease modelers.

From a week and a half ago: “As of Monday, the model shows, about 96,000 adults and 200,000 children have died because of the administration’s cutbacks to funding for aid groups and support organizations. The overall death count grows by 103 people an hour.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

For Trump, This Is a Dress Rehearsal Ordering the National Guard to deploy in Los Angeles is a warning of what to expect when his hold on power is threatened.

The langue both trump and Hegseth are using to describe and justify their overreach of authority in California serves as the basis for more draconian and unconstitutional actions later. Target: Elections 2026. @davidfrum.bsky.social great piece.

Trump says Elon Musk will face 'very serious consequences' if he funds Democratic candidates In an interview with NBC News, the president also said he assumes his relationship with the tech billionaire is over following their recent falling out.

Get in bed with a dog and flees are the least of your problems. 🤣

The Unconstitutional Conservatives Not too long ago, Republicans believed in the rule of law, limiting the power of government, and protecting individual liberty. Then came Donald Trump.

“Thugocracy”. Need we say more. Excellent indictment by Peter Wehner.

Trump administration says Harvard can no longer enroll international students Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said existing international students at Harvard must transfer or risk losing their legal status.

“Noem said she would reconsider her decision if Harvard – within 72 hours – satisfied her demands for more information, which include providing disciplinary records of every international student for the past five years.”
This is utter Bullsh!t.
