Public lands provide 1000x more value to our nation than any sell-off would bring. Public lands were not created for one-time disposal to fund the government. The backlash from this will be substantial. And it should be.
NEWS: The Trump administration is officially planning to sell off public lands. The Interior Department publicly laid out a strategy to reduce the amount of federal lands by selling property to states, tribes, and local governments. washingtonsun.com/energy-env…

The worst part about the grift economy in American politics is that, yes, they fall eventually…but they still end up with millions.
NEWS: Alina Habba’s $50 million contract was terminated last week. Company fired her for “failure to perform duties.” She will keep $6.5 mil in salary and $8 mil signing bonus. The firing came days after The Times reporting prompted a Trump outburst. nytimes.com/2026/11/10/us/po…

At some point, powerful men should realize that it’s not that hard to stay faithful to your wife or your family

Can we all agree to boycott businesses (especially restaurants?!?) that use AI slop in their marketing or

I don’t say this lightly - I truly believe screen addiction is one of the biggest epidemics in the world right now

A senator falsely claiming that half the country “wants conservatives dead” is irresponsible, anti-American, and frankly disgusting. Not surprising from him, though.
They also want us dead

If we continue allowing AI ads to be legal, they should be required to have a massive disclaimer during the entire ad. Absolutely bonkers that we haven’t done anything about this yet.
Here's an example of what Elon Musk's super PAC did with Donald Trump and AI. They sent texts to voters that used AI to create personalized videos of Trump using their first names to encourage them to turn out. "We need voters like you, Kathleen.”

Americans do not want data centers on our public lands. At all.

America is not a far-left or far-right country. We are a moderate country of people who largely want the same things: Safer streets. Better schools. Healthier environment. Stronger economy. Opportunity for everyone. Focusing on problems within our own borders. No culture wars.

As a Gen Zer, this election was not about Iran. It was not about tariffs. It was not about affordability. It was not about the ethics of our government. It was not about the vanity projects. It was not about ICE in the streets. It was about…all of it.

At some point, we’ll realize that Americans don’t want a far-left or far-right country. We’re a nation filled with people who are desperately looking for sensible leaders in a broken political system. And the GOP did the opposite of what nearly every voter wanted. Thus, this.

Instead of spending money on wars and ballrooms and personal favors and vanity projects, the American people want their money spent on bettering their communities and their livelihoods. Pretty simple, actually.

Americans are sick of the culture wars. Sick of the fear-mongering. Sick of the elitism. Sick of power-hungry selfishness. Sick of the endless outrage & blame. The American people want results…and they want sanity again.

Americans ultimately want common-sense and sanity back in their political system. Tonight, it’s clear we’re fed up with the way our country is headed — and that those in power have been selfish, out-of-touch, radical, and entirely ineffective at serving us.

I genuinely believe our leaders should ban betting ads. Every American, especially young ones, are watching their celebrity heroes sell a predatory industry...that's inherently designed to drain bank accounts. We pulled cigarette ads off TV. We can do this too.

They were selfless. They played for each other. They played for an entire state. They played old fashioned baseball. They won the World Series in the most inspirational way possible. This is what sports is about. This is what humanity is about. This is AMAZING.
THE WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP BELONGS TO MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone who knows me knows my love for the Brewers has been insane since I started elementary school. This year, I was able to buy myself a ticket to game 1 of the World Series, a lifelong dream of mine. Tonight, they won it all as America’s team. I LOVE THE MILWAUKEE BREWERS!!

Watching a football game in 2026 is just three hours of horrendous refs surrounded by betting ads

Imagine if Obama said this
Vance: The president has a lot of authority because, the reality is, who's gonna stop him?
