"That is why I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it." Yes, there is a difference.

Undermining the Fed to get lower rates now is like ripping the batteries out of your smoke alarm because it’s beeping. It’s quiet for a bit. Then your house burns down. Credibility anchors expectations; expectations anchor inflation.

The Second Amendment wasn’t written for executive orders and barbed wire around the Capitol—it was written to ensure a well-regulated militia that answers to the people and their states. Today, that balance is being pulled apart. My latest: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/who-really...

Yeah, this thing about having high borrowing at the same time as massive job losses and infrastructure cuts. Ask where that money went. Keep asking that.

one sign that the “unitary executive” is less the restoration of an older constitutional order and more the imposition of a radical new one is that allowing the president to act untethered from most legal or congressional limits has largely just served to plunge the country into disorder

Pritzker: Trump looked at the cameras and asked for me personally to say, Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city? Instead, I say, Mr. President, do not come to Chicago. Your remarks about this effort have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties

Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.

At 100, Dick Van Dyke just proved age is nothing but a number and politics can still sing. No one expected a century-old legend to steal the spotlight. As Bernie Sanders supporters cheered in a packed stadium in L.A., the crowd gasped when a frail but sprightly figure took the stage.
