As part of Supreme Court reform, Congress should disallow the shadow docket. The Justices should be required to release the justification and legal reasoning behind their opinions.

It is so refreshing to see a political leader doing what’s right for the people.
For years, New Yorkers have demanded access to City records about the lasting health impacts of the horrific September 11th attacks. For years, they have been denied and ignored.

That ends today.

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

Thomas Massie and I just introduced a discharge petition to force a vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act II.

The DOJ has failed to release millions of files. I’m calling on everyone in Congress to sign this petition and stand up for the survivors.

Why doesn’t the US Constitution have a mechanism for kicking out a tyrannical President and his/her sycophants? The Declaration of Independence says we the people have an inalienable right to form a new gov. I’m not suggesting a whole new gov but we should be able to force impeachment.

I’m so sorry Pete, Chasten, and their kids had to go through this. I hope they find who false accused him and that person is prosecuted and sued civilly.
Pete Buttigieg says his family was effectively swatted — except, instead of calling the cops, someone called Child Protective Services, lied and said Buttigieg had admitted to 'committing unspeakably violent crimes' and that his kids were at risk.

The kids are not and were not at risk.
A Terrible Thing Happened to My Family
Even in today's climate, there should be one fundamental principle everyone respects: whatever you think about someone in politics, you leave their kids alone.

Supreme Court Overturns Hawaii Gun Law www.nytimes.com/2026/06/25/u...

I’m so sick of this corrupt Supreme Court. If they’re so originalist, why isn’t the right to carry “Arms” interpreted to mean just the type of arms people had at the time of the Founding?

Every second, $6,000 in fossil fuel subsidies are handed out globally. That’s $5 trillion/year.
Renewables? Barely a fraction.
We have 6–7 years to halve emissions. The industry has zero years of conscience.
