Some depraved individual is dishonoring on social media those who have fallen to preserve our freedom. I hope those close to him can get him the help he needs.

Because??? The authoritarian playbook tries to dismantle institutions that stand up for intellectual freedom. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Two nuclear-powers in a face-off. A hair-trigger situation now calling for the attention of our top-notch national security team. 😳 www.cnn.com/world/live-n...

Has anybody just tried unplugging America, pressing the reset button, and then plugging it back in?

The Trump second term agenda: Stay out of jail. Make money. Revenge.

A constituent was forcibly removed from Mike Lawler’s town hall. He has inadvertently created an instantly iconic image of the resistance.
