A powerful personal testament from Tom Bowman of NPR about the Pentagon attempt to exert complete control over all information. Protecting classified is of course fine. But when neither Fox News nor NY Times sign up to your policy, you should ask yourself if you are getting something very wrong.

“We believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” one airport said.

I've also created a SECOND VA page focusing on the REDDEST districts in the state.

Most of these Dems likely won't win, but funding them means they can run competitive races & force VA Republicans to defend "safe" turf. Donate today! #Blue25

Watch this quick explainer on the Hatch Act and you’ll see just how far the regime has gone—propaganda in airports, partisan emails, and political orders from the top. It’s not “messaging,” it’s a full-blown assault on the law that keeps our government nonpartisan.

Trump & Bessent warned the U.S. may reconsider its $20B aid deal with Argentina if President Milei’s party underperforms in upcoming elections. No election interference there.

Frost: Trump knows that when they passed the big, ugly bill that rips away healthcare from 17 million people, you usually don’t win elections when you do something like that…
