Conservatives have long worked to brand antisemitism as a problem that exists exclusively on the left. The chaos at AmericaFest this past weekend suggests that narrative is collapsing, and the MAGA movement is being forced to confront its own internal fault lines.

Trump’s Tech Force treads familiar ground for former government tech leaders
One former U.S. Digital Service worker called the new project a ‘slap in the face’ to those laid off at the beginning of the Trump administration.

20 State AGs have sued Russell Vought for trying to starve the CFPB of funding.

Since 2011, the CFPB has returned over $20B to consumers.

For those of us warning about democracy's potential disintegration, the decision by CBS to pull an exhaustively researched 60 Minutes piece, critical of Trump, is another red alert moment.

When truth disappears as the media gets coopted by the regime, there's little left.
