Effective immediately, I am barring CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from the White House. I believe their coverage of my administration is persistently false, and I do not think outlets should retain presidential access while publishing what I view as fiction. I will consider the same action against other organizations. Tone rewrite only. Claims remain the author’s and are not independently verified.

If Hasan Piker believes America is worse than Al-Qaeda, the obvious question is why he chooses to live and build wealth here. The freedom to denounce the country from a lucrative platform is evidence against his own caricature. The rhetoric is revolutionary; the lifestyle is not.

Tariffs can raise consumer prices, but the same basic question applies to corporate income taxes: who ultimately bears the cost? If the objection is that businesses do not absorb taxes cleanly, that principle cannot apply only when Trump chooses the tax. The serious debate is about each tax's burden and trade-offs—not which party imposed it.

Supporting Erika, Charlie's mission, and TPUSA does not require pretending every decision is defensible. “Pick up the mic” means something because supporters see it as Charlie's mic. Putting TPUSA's logo beside people who oppose what he stood for signals endorsement. A big tent with no gatekeeping eventually stands for nothing.

Anti-MAGA third-party projects keep promising a movement larger than MAGA without showing an electoral base. Their candidates struggle, their media circles repeat the same pessimism, and their actual effect may be to help Democrats rather than build a viable alternative. Tone rewrite only.

He sent everyone home early while gas and groceries are still sky high, and the Pentagon is being led recklessly. Why would anyone give them two more years?

I have spent 61 days in FDC Miami’s special housing unit. I was moved to a cell that I say has no hot water or air conditioning and is infested with roaches, while senior staff have not addressed my complaints. I am pursuing legal action over the conditions and asking to be treated like any other prisoner. Tone rewrite only. Claims remain the author’s and are not independently verified.

Republicans should keep the Save Our Bacon Act out of the Farm Bill. In my view, it would benefit Chinese-owned Smithfield at the expense of American farmers and consumers. Tone rewrite only. Claims remain the author's and are not independently verified.

Everything that is going wrong is going wrong because of the Iran conflict. If Iran was not close to a nuclear weapon and neocons pushed Trump into war, they betrayed his non-neocon voters. Tone rewrite only. Claims remain the author's and are not independently verified.

AI could create enormous opportunities, but politicians and pundits are rushing to regulate it through fear before they understand it. Even people who once defended markets are joining the demand for more government control. I think that risks slowing innovation to preserve political power rather than protect the public.

I could talk for hours about modern art and why so much of it doesn’t work for me. Duchamp is one of my least favorite examples.

Do y’all understand the kind of reckless, thoughtless groupthink it takes to make a chart look like this?

It'll be a good day in January when all these Republicans, who lost their primaries, are out of Congress for good. Their daily complaints are getting old.

I believe political institutions and media have deepened division by framing opponents as enemies. The midterms will determine whether Trump can keep advancing his agenda or whether Democrats and resistant Republicans can block and reverse it. Supporters who want that agenda preserved need to vote.

Claims about water, energy, jobs, safety, competition and subsidies now drive a bipartisan push to restrict AI and data centers. I think freezing or heavily regulating the technology would risk obstructing the next industrial transformation.

Listening to civil servants in Parliament, what strikes me is the disconnect from the private sector that funds them. Out there, nobody has a guaranteed pay rise, a comfortable pension or a job that survives the company running out of money; every month the wages, rent and tax must be found. Inside the state it is four day weeks and nobody sacked, spending money the productive economy earned. Government should run the way every small business must: money is finite, performance matters, failure has consequences. Tone rewrite only.

Tomorrow the leaders of Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland meet to sign a declaration planning the breakup of the United Kingdom. I think that is a mistake. We are one people on these islands, too interwoven for a border not to hurt all of us. Ask a separatist "Am I a foreigner?" and none can say yes. The union is what let us flourish; put the borders back and we compete against our own brothers and sisters. And a vote would not settle it: every election afterwards would be fought by a rejoin faction. Tone rewrite only. Claims remain the author's and are not independently verified.

Self-control and exercising complete mastery of your anger is one of the foremost masculine traits. Losing your temper over a game is childish behavior. Just a pure exhibition of weakness.

People protested Mayor Mamdani yesterday, on the 25th anniversary of 9/11, not over anything he has done but because he is a Muslim in a city struck by Islamist terrorists 25 years ago. That was anti-Muslim bigotry, and it had no place in New York. That New Yorkers elected a young Muslim to lead their city a quarter century after 9/11 is something the whole country should be proud of. Prejudice against his faith did not stop a majority from giving him a chance. Patriots love Americans in the real world, whatever their race, religion or creed. If you distrust a fellow American solely for how they pray, leave the flag at home. Tone rewrite only. Claims remain the author's and are not independently verified.

The idea that the juror "lied to get on the jury" does not hold up. None of the alleged dirt these people have dug up would keep him off of a jury. Besides, people don't lie to get ON juries, folks. They lie to get off of them. Massachusetts pays like a 50 dollar stipend for jury duty. Nobody's lying and giving up weeks of their life for that. This guy simply accepted the civic duty he was forcibly conscripted into. Now you are trying to destroy his life for it. Shameful. Tone rewrite only.

We did it…. THE ODYSSEY is the highest-grossing film in the history of Universal. The far-right critics, Elon Musk and everyone who wanted the film to fail have clearly lost.

I have loved Warcraft since I was a kid. I'm a Horde fan, orcs for life, and that's where World of Warcraft lost me. The game never respected the Horde as a faction. First came the Undead, whose theme sits outside Thrall's shamanistic Horde. Then TBC added Blood Elves with paladins, and the Horde stopped looking like burly, savage but honorable monsters. Today's BlizzCon was supposed to bring Classic Plus for vanilla fans like me. Instead we got Undead paladins and a new elf who can join either faction. The story has the same problem: Sylvanas went from a side character to the most powerful being in the universe and humiliated Horde legends like Saurfang. Elves are all Warcraft seems to think about, and I'm done. Tone rewrite only. Claims remain the author's and are not independently verified.

This is the strength that 77 million Americans wanted to lead the United States. This is an old man in visible decline who could not stay awake during a ceremony honoring 9/11. This is not strength. Tone rewrite only. Claims remain the author's and are not independently verified.

Parliament defeated the Government on assisted dying today, by 16 votes. I think it is a dangerous idea that could leave the most vulnerable feeling pressured to end their lives, so every vote mattered. Rupert Lowe turned up. Nigel Farage did not. If Reform will not show up to challenge this government on a vote like this, I struggle to see what the party is for. Tone rewrite only.

If you believe Donald Trump's $5000 promise, you are setting yourself up to be fleeced. Tone rewrite only. Claims remain the author's and are not independently verified.
