If the First Amendment means anything, it means that a State has no business telling a man, sitting alone in his own house, what books he may read or what films he may watch. Our whole constitutional heritage rebels at the thought of giving government the power to control men's minds. Stanley vs GA.

America is no longer a functioning democracy. It is a competitive authoritarian system, hurtling rapidly toward authoritarianism.
This was a hard piece to write but we can't move forward if we don’t acknowledge where we are.

The last time troops policed America was in the 1770s.
We fought a revolution against that king, and wrote into the Constitution the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments to prevent it from ever happening again.
Pass it along…

I’m not sure it’s “more” people. I think he means a highly select group of people who want tax cuts that specifically benefit them.
The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity:
1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas…
2) enabled by Engineering Innovations…
3) based on Science Research in Universities…
4) funded by Grants from the US Government.
It’s time more people understood this.

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.
BREAKING: The FDA has officially announced they will be banning artificial dyes in the food supply by the end of 2026
This includes Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, Blue 2, Green 3

Anyone debating or analyzing Kilmar Abrego Garcia's life or record is doing a grave disservice.
He could be El Chapo. He could be Charles Manson. He could be the Dalai Lama.
It doesn't matter. What has happened to him and others is clearly a violation of America's core laws and principles.

This is EXACTLY why experts in science matter. Not knowing is normal, but refusing to check with a person who studies this (I.e. a scientist) is inexcusable. Willful ignorance. (Low doses of fluoride in water are not harmful. and help teeth. It’s been studied extensively.)
Mike Johnson on RFK Jr pushing to remove fluoride from water: "From what I've read and what I understand, it deserves real evaluation. There's a concern that it may be having a negative impact on the health of children ... I don't have the answers."

There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine.
The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy
