Those who ban the press and start state run media are never the good guys in history.

In 1969, Congress was considering major cuts to public broadcasting funding until Mr. Rogers calmly explained what he did on his show. They didn’t. Legend.

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying. I’ll always be grateful to our fallen heroes and their families, whose sacrifice reminds us of what it means to live for something greater than ourselves.

On Wednesday night and continued into Thursday morning, President Donald Trump went on a Truth Social “frenzy” where he made dozens of posts attacking his political opponents and making false claims. The posts were quickly fact-checked and drew swift pushback.

The @UArkansas students certainly know how to make the most of a snow day! We saw a kayak, snowboard, laundry basket, cardboard boxes, etc. go down this epic hill.

Oklahoma GOP Gov. KEVIN STITT to @DanaBashCNN:
"Americans don't like what they're seeing right now. ... he's getting bad advice right now. The president needs to let the American people -- what is the solution? How do we bring this to conclusion? And I think only the president can answer that question, because it's complicated. We have to enforce federal laws, but we need to know, what is the endgame? And I don't think it's to deport every single non-U.S. citizen."

Immigration and Customs Enforcement launched “Operation Catch of the Day” targeting criminals in Maine, but Sen. Angus King (I-ME) says that “this idea that it's the worst of the worst is just nonsense.”
“What they are really doing is going after people who are here, they are asylum seekers, they are in the process, they have green cards. We have had numerous cases in Maine of people stopped and detained with zero criminal record, including a recruit for the sheriff's office to be a guard at the county jail.”

Spoke to a friend yesterday--a 30-year police veteran--who had seen the video from MN. "No one in law enforcement would tell you what we saw on that video was proper procedure. It's insulting to real law enforcement folks to say it was. Those guys are out of control."

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
