I was radicalized on the issue of the Supreme Court 25 years ago this month. I’ve spent more than half of my life now waiting for the Democrats and liberalism to get there. They still aren’t. It’s sickening.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Proud parenting moment: Our family briefly lived in a well-to-do area near Calabasas. As my wife and I showed our kids their new neighborhood, my son Andy looked out the car window and said "I guess we're going to be the weird neighbors."

Why did they arrest someone in the RNC/DNC offices bomb case? So Trump could pardon him?

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Coco Gauff, with the help of the USTA, matched her $3 million earnings for winning the 2023 U.S. Open to renovate tennis courts at Joe W. Brown Park in New Orleans.

Coco dropped in for a surprise visit. This one kid was serious about making his moment count. Look at the concentration!

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality.
Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

1/3 Massive efforts are being done to ensure states do not regulate GenAI.

Regulations like CA’s AB-412. A transparency bill that terrifies Big Tech!

On Dec. 8th, there is a major hearing on this bill.

We need as many folks to show up! Come join in support of creatives!

It is a TOP priority of the GOP to get rid of vote by mail because they can’t intimidate and challenge voters based on race with mail in voting.

I wish I could believe that Dems will actually fight them on this, but we know Chuck and Hakeem. Whatever the AIPAC position is, is what they will do.

This is my kind of good trouble.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Dear Democratic Party: Say you love Tide soap. But, the box may be empty on arrival or contain a *much worse* soap. If you need soap, you are not going to order Tide because you don't know what, if anything, will be in the box. The brand is loved but useless due to bad substitutions and emptiness.

Many of us learned long ago that there is no "Legal Philosophy" in the Federalist Society. It is a club that gives members a leg up in the competition for certain judicial clerkships and jobs in the Trump administration. That is it. Period.

How does the NY Times not know this?
