Long-time conservative voice George Will knows the difference between Conservatism & Dictatorship. Stressing the contrast can be effective protection against Trump in peeling off genuinely conservative voters. GOP should work toward more conservative candidates in mid-terms & 2028.

Trump lies so easily. About everything. Even things that are embarrassingly easy to disprove. It’s pathological, so remember that.

PM Mark Carney has announced Canada will give $2.5B worth of economic assistance to Ukraine. Unlike its southern neighbor, Canada has principled leadership that is not beholden to Putin.
He's also not in the Epstein Files.

The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats.
It’s between democracy and oligarchy.
The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re getting the shaft.

The gun lobby, mainly the NRA, is powerful due to its significant political spending, effective media machine, & strategic focus on a single, galvanizing issue (2A rights) that symbolizes freedom for many. NRA has received significant support from Russia over the years.

Guys, Trump doesn’t care about Christians in Africa and it’s not really about the Nigerian oil.
It’s the rare earth minerals.
Nigeria has exploded in rare earth mineral production in the last couple of years. In fact, it is the number five rare earth mineral producer on the planet.

Most extinctions today are ‘dark extinctions’….species that vanish before they’re described, monitored, or counted.
No database can record what was never discovered.

OK, let’s rebut another cryptobro nonsense argument. Specifically, that the anonymity of crypto is not a problem because cash also facilitates anonymous transfers.
When the House and Senate marked up stablecoin legislation, we raised all of these concerns - their anonymity, their nearly perfect design for money laundering. All the barn doors were left wide open. It’s used for crime because that is its purpose. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/07/t...

Inside the Trump family’s global crypto cash machine
The U.S. president’s family raked in more than $800 million from sales of crypto assets in the first half of 2025 alone, a Reuters examination found. Much of that cash came from foreign sources.

IOW, rather than make stablecoins stable, the bill makes their inherent instability contagious, shifting their risk onto the larger banking system. It’s a direct wealth transfer from law abiding Americans to criminals.
