- The decision by our Congress to abandon enforcing our Constitution—which explicitly and specifically bans this act—is a historic stain on America.
- This scholar from overseas, one of 1.1 million foreign students that the United States is privileged to have at our universities, was seized off the street and imprisoned for six weeks — after she broke ZERO laws, but wrote one op-ed expressing views. And she still believes in America.
- This is a false, even deranged statement. Imports are the mutually beneficial exchange of capital for goods. If that is ‘losing money’, then you ‘lose’ every time you buy groceries. Vast power wielded in total incompetence is harmful to every American.
- Faced with the "sweeping assault" on critical thinking at our top military academy, West Point, a professor of military ethics resigns. "However much I admire America, uncritically asserting that it is 'the most powerful force for good in human history” is not something an educator does'."
- This is accurate. As @charlesjkenny.bsky.social of @cgdev.org has noted, the data we have support the conclusion that the reckless and illegal obliteration of USAID will cause deaths worldwide, particularly of children. —> www.marketplace.org/story/2025/0...
