Make no mistake. This nonsense about Antifa is directly tied to the 2026 and 2028 elections. It’s the “crisis” they will use as justification to shut down key voting centers.

Speaker Johnson is stalling her swearing-in because her vote would help finally reveal the Epstein files.

This is exactly why ICE needs to be unmasked and ID’d — like cops.

In the country's richest city, more than 140,000 kids don't have stable or permanent housing.

"Every Child and Family Is Known" — a small pilot program that pairs school staff with students and families in shelters — has shown real promise. I will double its funding and scope.

Mamdani education plan would focus on helping NYC homeless students

We at The Steady State have studied the indicators of authoritarianism for decades — usually dry words in intelligence reports. But sometimes, a single photograph says it all.

Authoritarianism doesn’t arrive all at once. It creeps in under cover of “order,” cloaked in uniforms, justified by fear.

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.
