Sen. Tom Cotton says Arab nations aren’t begging for peace, they’re asking us for targeting intel so they can join the fight against Iran. That’s not weakness, that’s a coalition. When Iran threatened them, they aligned with America. The region is done tolerating a revolutionary Iran. 

What Oregon Democrats did in 2022 was one of the worst redistricting escalations yet. Republicans ended delaying tactics after promises of bipartisan maps from Tina Kotek. Democrats then reneged and pushed through a heavily gerrymandered map with zero GOP input.

Too many high-performing Asian and white students succeeding in gifted programs? Easy fix: eliminate the gifted programs instead of asking why some students are excelling. Modern education policy in a nutshell.

Just so we’re clear: Democrats now want to rewrite Virginia’s Constitution because the State Supreme Court rejected their unconstitutional maps. For a party that constantly chants “No Kings,” that’s a remarkably undemocratic response.

It’s hard to overstate how much Virginia Democrats, led by Louise Lucas, accelerated red state redistricting efforts.
