Diesel hit $6 a gallon this week—the highest in average price AAA has ever recorded. Mainers can't take it anymore. Susan Collins allowed this to happen, and she's got to go.

The Pentagon influencer scandal keeps getting bigger.
More partisan online personalities. More government jobs. More taxpayer money.
Who hired them, what are they being paid to do, and are military officers violating the UCMJ?
This deserves answers.

The Founders didn’t build America around one religion. They knew government had no business deciding who was “American enough” based on faith. That wasn’t a footnote to the founding—it was part of the bargain. In 2026, we really shouldn’t need the reminder. Yet here we are. Share it.

Trump may disagree with Pirro, but there are apparently limits to how much she’s willing to lie to propagate his narrative.
If DOJ had any evidence, even circumstantial, they would be charging people.

This is obscene. Trump orders safe conduct for Alexei Mordashov's $500 mn superyacht, Nord. Mordashov is a key Kremlin henchman who has expanded his fortune building bombs Putin dropped on hospitals and nurseries in Ukraine. He is a war criminal. But Trump just loves him because of his ostentation.

It takes me 2.5 minutes to explain why it’s a lie that we gave all the weapons to Ukraine that we needed for Iran.
But the lie can be said in one sentence. We’re at a disadvantage when reality is nuanced.

Periodic reminder that Ukraine is one of our best allies.
Between the intelligence sharing, capability sharing (drones, counter drone systems), and the fact they’re degrading the capability of one of our primary adversaries, anyone rooting against them looks even dumber now.

The most important thing to remember about Trump’s press conference last night is that the war in Iran is still out of control, gas prices are still through the roof, and the administration is still hiding the Epstein files from the American people.
