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...

🇺🇸 The USAID family has lost one of its own. Amb. William “Bill” Garvelink, who led U.S. disaster responses from Somalia to Rwanda and served as Ambassador to Congo, has died at 76. He was steady, principled, and never mistook power for purpose. His loss is immeasurable.

KILMAR IN BALTIMORE: “Never lose hope. Promise me you’ll continue fight for freedom — not just for me, for everybody.” He was just taken into ICE custody.

Kamala Harris nailed it. We warned everyone the stakes were too high to hand the guy built for Project 2025 another shot — but noooo. Ever have one of those mornings you just want to throw the window open and yell, FUCK YOU ALL? Yeah, that.

It isn’t normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.

There are folks who want to get things done for the American people, and those who go to government to blow it up. If you want to work with us, great. If not, a new generation of leaders is going to hold you accountable.

Over a quarter of all homes sold in the first three months of 2025 were bought by real estate investors. If we want to make housing affordable again, we must get Wall Street out of our homes. https://youtu.be/q9TOGxDJ0TE?feature=shared
