Ron Paul is 100% spot on.

For what it’s worth, as a commander and officer it was my duty, moral obligation, and legal requirement to first question and then to not obey any illegal order I was given. The same is true for everyone who swear their oath. Hope that clears things up.

Proud that Jason is my congressman. And my friend. Well done, sir.

Why did not a single male reporter who were standing next to the president and the female reporter he called "piggy" say a word to the president about this and call him out then and there? Those who keep quiet in these moments are part of the problem.

“My sister is not a political tool for you to use. These survivors are not political tools for you to use. These are real stories, real trauma. And it's time for you to stop just talking about it and act. Vote yes.”

As a former Republican, I feel like I have license to have an opinion on this. Thomas Massie and MTG deserve our support. They are doing something that is incredibly courageous. We need politicians who are willing to buck their political party, do the right thing, and stand on principle.

Pam Bondi will not have a license to practice law when this is all over. You can’t stay a bar member and agree to investigate only members of one political party for child sexual abuse but not members of the other. And, you can’t do it after previously saying no one else could be charged.

Kiss of death. Congrats Mayor Mamdani.

Hard to believe but the Google (YouTube TV) and Disney (ESPN) feud is making me miss cable TV.

The President of the United States is so upset about his failed campaign for a Nobel Prize that he's now trying to claim someone else's prize as his own. Pathetic.

Kristi Noem says “There's no American citizens that have been arrested or detained." Tell that to George Retes. This U.S. Army veteran and American citizen was wrongfully arrested and brutalized by ICE while simply trying to get to work.

This is the right thing to do. Appreciate the Governor’s and JBC’s leadership on this issue. www.denver7.com/lifestyle/fo...

JD Vance seems to think segregation is 'acceptable' if neighbors don't speak English. My column: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

So... a young FBI staffer who displayed a small pride flag in his workspace gets fired but a young GOP Capitol Hill staffer who displays a swastika flag in his workspace gets to keep his job Got. It.

So tell me how bailing out Argentina is “America first.” I’ll wait.

Sen. Ruben Gallego: "Mike Johnson is holding Congress out of session for two reasons: number one, so that way there are no negotiations; and number two, to cover for all the pedophiles on Epstein's list...They're covering for pedophiles and dropping your healthcare coverage."

My former political party is virtually irrelevant in Colorado politics. State party “leaders” seem hellbent on continuing the death spiral. Some spot on analysis here from former Colorado GOP state chair, Dick Wadhams.

I have been concerned for a while that the U.S. is a country in decline. Then I watched the Ryder Cup. Now I’m convinced.

I hope the entire show is in Spanish. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/a...

“‘Show me the man, and I’ll show you the crime.’ Those infamous words are the hallmarks of a corrupt state. Trump is now openly mimicking the dictators he admires so much. He has shown Pam Bondi the man, and Bondi’s Department of Justice has manufactured the crime.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/o...

The word of the day is . . .

Candidly, both political parties are a hot mess right now. Our duopoly is ill-served to solve our nation’s problems. Our leaders are failing us. Most show no courage or backbone whatsoever. They simply stand for getting re-elected. It’s bleak out there. What’s the answer?

Ordinary People impacted me more than any other film. RIP to its legendary director. What a career.

Violence is never the answer. Never.

Credit to Mika Brzezinski for not putting up with Tom Homan's BS this morning. This was a hard-hitting interview.

“Countless people . . . have been grabbed, thrown to the ground, and handcuffed simply because of their looks, their accents, and the fact they make a living by doing manual labor. Today, the Court needlessly subjects countless more to these exact same indignities." Justice Sonia Sotomayor

Today’s post is from guest Michael Wood, a patriot and veteran who bled for this country and now wrestles with a question: Will America remain only an idea? His words are raw, honest, and urgent—reminder of what’s at stake in this moment adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/saving-the...

Sexual assault is not a joke. Sexual assault is not a hoax. Believe, support, and respect victims.

Thomas Massie has guts. In this political environment, that is huge. Thank you, Congressman Massie, for your strong, principled stance for transparency. Release the damn files.

Pope Leo XIV prayed publicly on Sunday for the victims of the shooting at a Catholic school in Minnesota and called for an end to the "pandemic of arms, large and small."

Krishnamoorthi on the FBI raiding Bolton's house: "It looks like it's also an attempt to distract from the other big news of the day, which is the first production of the Epstein files that is required by subpoena from the Oversight Committee and they want to change the conversation."

How do you spell I-N-T-I-M-I-D-A-T-I-O-N? “The FBI is searching the home and office of John Bolton, as part of an investigation into the handling of classified information…Bolton was not detained and has not been charged with any crimes.” www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

If you are opposed to mail in voting, you are in favor of disenfranchising our brave men and women serving in uniform. Shame on you.

Elections are run by states and local governments. Republicans used to understand and formerly campaigned to protect states’ rights and local control. I guess you guys don’t believe in the Tenth Amendment anymore?

Real American Presidents vs. Trump What American Presidents worth the name would say today. open.substack.com/pub/therickw...

How true conservatives and defenders of freedom talk about stopping aggressors like Putin. Trump is not a conservative. www.linkedin.com/posts/joseph...

That Trump-Putin Summit in Alaska played out like an episode of VEEP.

Thank you, Gavin Newsom. This is the anti-authoritarian energy we need right now.

This.

Trump Deploys National Guard for D.C. Crime but Called Jan. 6 Rioters ‘Very Special’ www.nytimes.com/2025/08/12/u...

At least three people died in a mass shooting in a Target parking lot in Austin on Monday. The suspect has a "mental health" and criminal history, local authorities said. Texans may want to know why their GOP leaders just banned a proven legal tool for preventing this www.cnn.com/2025/08/11/u...

“Mr. Trump has a pattern of accepting results that benefit him and denigrating those he dislikes as being rigged or part of a scam.” The emotional maturity of a second grader. (Apologies to second graders) www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/u...
