You guessed it, Turning Point USA’s Erika Kirk just endorsed JD Vance for 2028.

The group’s long record of racist controversies and Vance’s own rhetoric make this pairing… extremely on brand.

The Trump administration’s release of the Epstein grand jury documents are entirely redacted.

It’s 119 pages of just black rectangles.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

The US TikTok sale has been signed. The company will be controlled by a joint venture including Oracle, Silver Lake, Andreessen Horowitz, Abu Dhabi-based MGX. Adding a UAE company really makes it clear that this was never about national security concerns.

Trump and Speaker Johnson are trying to block a vote to extend ACA tax credits.

Democrats created a discharge petition and got 218 signatures — a majority of the House.

Speaker Johnson needs to bring our bill to the floor NOW and save American families from a premium hike.

A local radio station reported on an immigration raid. Conservatives didn’t like the reporting. So FCC opened an investigation into the station. This wasn’t about security — it was about censorship. And I won’t let the FCC bully journalists into silence.

Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.
