John Thune is the Republican Senate’s friction point.

Trump changed the electorate. McConnell shaped the Senate. Thune now protects the institution that keeps slowing the America First agenda.

The problem is philosophical. Thune supports conservative policies, but he still treats Senate procedure, continuity, and institutional preservation as sacred goods.

MAGA voters elected Trump to change Washington, not manage it with better manners. If Thune cannot dance the MAGA dance, he should be replaced by someone who understands the mandate. [Richard Luthmann]

Thomas Sowell on The Rubin Report



Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Thomas Sowell about his remarkable journey from growing up in Harlem to becoming one of America’s most influential economists.
  • Discusses why he was once a Marxist and the facts that ultimately changed his mind
  • how his experience at the U.S. Department of Labor taught him that government agencies have incentives of their own
  • why minimum wage laws can hurt the very people they are intended to help
  • the danger of judging policies by their intentions rather than their actual results
  • why universities increasingly shut out opposing viewpoints
  • the difference between racial disparities and discrimination
  • how age, culture, economics, and other factors can explain inequality
  • why competitive free markets can reduce discrimination
  • what’s gone wrong with America’s public schools
  • why he believes the media are often misinformed and fail to check basic facts
  • the proper role of government in a free-market economy
  • why an informed public is essential to electing better leaders
  • his pessimism about the future; the importance of common decency; and much more.

Prescription Drug Prices

Donald Trump Just Delivered the Biggest Drug Price Drop Since Before the Beatles Existed

Americans paid more for prescription drugs each year that Barack Obama was president. The government just released new numbers that every network is scrambling to explain away. The Left spent years telling you drug companies were untouchable. They were wrong.

In May 2025, Trump signed an Executive Order demanding Most-Favored-Nation pricing – meaning Americans would pay no more for a pill than the lowest price any developed nation pays for that identical drug.

Democrats called it a fantasy. Trump called it a promise.Then he started collecting signatures. Pfizer signed in September 2025. AstraZeneca signed in October. Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk – the two companies that control the most expensive drugs in America – signed in November, slashing Ozempic from $1,000 a month to $350 and Wegovy from $1,350 a month to $350.

Biden's IRA negotiations covered a handful of Medicare drugs and moved slowly through a bureaucratic process. Trump's MFN executive order went directly at the pharmaceutical companies themselves and forced public commitments within months.

Your grandfather paid less for his heart medication last month than he did last year. That is a real thing that happened because one president decided American patients deserved the same deal every other country already had.

In February 2026, TrumpRx.gov was live – a direct platform letting Americans buy medicines at MFN prices without fighting their insurance company.

Digital Brands moves from California to Texas

Digital Brands Group Moves to Texas After CEO Says, “Doing business in the state of California sucks.”

Digital Brands Group is leaving California and moving its headquarters to Round Rock, Texas. CEO Hil Davis offered a blunt explanation for the decision.
Davis told Fox News Digital, “Doing business in the state of California sucks.”
The Round Rock Chamber announced the relocation in a press release, describing it as a major economic development win for the city.

“Founded in California and known for its innovative approach to blending apparel brands with e-commerce technology and data-driven consumer solutions, Digital Brands Group’s relocation marks a significant win for economic development in Round Rock.”

The chamber also pointed to Texas’ business climate and workforce as reasons companies are choosing the state.

So I ask, why not Florida? Actually, businesses are moving to Florida from California alongside Texas. Both states share major pro-business benefits like no state personal income tax, but Texas has captured more massive corporate headquarters (like Tesla, HP, and Chevron) due to distinct industrial and geographical advantages.

South Florida (Miami, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach) has seen an enormous influx of hedge funds, venture capitalists, and tech executives who prefer Florida's lifestyle and financial sector ecosystem over Texas's industrial footprint.

Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed's half-sister -- All in the family

El-Sayed's half sister is a Muslim Communist too

Democrats in swing states love a good family ad. Dad at the grill. Kids on the lawn. Maybe a golden retriever for good measure. The messaging is always warm, relatable, aggressively normal. It’s designed to make you forget that the candidate’s actual policy positions would make your head spin.

But here’s the thing about family ads — they’re curated. And sometimes the most telling detail isn’t who made the final cut. It’s who got edited out. In Michigan right now, a Democratic Senate candidate is running a slick campaign built on heartland imagery and kitchen-table promises. One very important family member, however, didn’t make the reel. Wonder why.

From The Post Millennial:

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s half-sister is a far-left University of Chicago professor who has advocated for a “stateless, communized society,” called for abolishing police, was arrested during an anti-ICE protest for spitting on a cop, celebrated the October 7, 2023 massacre, and has called for a “student intifada.”

What makes this genuinely damaging for El-Sayed isn’t just his sister’s rap sheet. It’s how neatly her positions mirror his own.

How foreign governments handle U.S. Aid

67 Governments Fail US Transparency Test: New Release

The State Department’s annual review of how foreign governments handle public money found that most of those assessed cleared the bar and a large minority did not.

The report is the closest thing Washington has to a report card on where US aid dollars can actually be traced. What did it say?

State of play
The tally is stark. Of 139 governments and the Palestinian Authority, 73 met the minimum fiscal transparency standard and 67 did not. Of the 67 that fell short, 14 made significant progress toward the minimum over the past year. The review is broad. The assessment covers governments that receive US assistance, judging whether the public can see how that money is raised and spent.
By the numbers
The split is close. Of the 140 assessed, 73 cleared the bar and 67 fell short, a near-even divide. Most failers are stuck. Only 14 of the 67 are improving, leaving 53 that showed no significant progress toward the minimum.
Foreign aid is under the microscope. With the administration paring overseas spending, a failure of transparency is now a direct argument against writing the next check.

Transparency deters graft. Open books make it harder to divert funds, so the standard is a first line of defense against corruption in recipient states. It exposes where aid disappears.

New York Doubles Down on Sanctuary: Helping ICE at the Jail Becomes Illegal Next Week

Albany is not merely being “compassionate.” It is obstructing federal immigration enforcement after local government has already arrested the defendant.

The Supremacy Clause is not optional, and state judges have a direct command written into the Constitution: “the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby.” New York cannot gag jailers, sabotage ICE handoffs, outlaw cooperation Congress authorized, and then pretend federal law is a polite suggestion.

Sanctuary is nullification with better branding. [Alexander Muse]

Democratic Socialist Chevalier

Trump Rips Democratic Socialist Congressional Nominee Over Past Anti-Police Posts

President Donald Trump tore into New York Democratic congressional nominee Darializa Avila Chevalier on Friday over past social media posts in which she referred to law enforcement officers as “pigs” and supported abolishing policing, asking a crowd of officers, “Who the hell is she?”

Chevalier, who received backing from the Democratic Socialists of America, won New York’s Democratic primary in June, defeating incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat, D-N.Y. She has also received the endorsement of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Before the June primary, CNN’s KFile reported that Chevalier had deleted several controversial social media posts. Among them was a 2021 repost declaring, “ALL PIGS EVERYWHERE ARE HARAM.” The report noted that “haram” is an Arabic term referring to something that is forbidden.

In another post from 2020, Chevalier responded to another social media user by describing “abolishing” the police as “ending policing full stop.”

Trump seized on those comments Friday while appearing alongside Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel before a crowd of law enforcement officials on Long Island. The president was also there to boost New York Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman.

During his remarks, Trump attacked Democratic socialists, describing them as “communist[s]” who support policies including “abolishing the police, abolishing prisons, abolishing qualified immunity, abolishing all immigration enforcement, and giving amnesty to 50 million illegal aliens.”

Then he addressed Chevalier directly

Save America Act desperately needed

Minnesota just proved the need for the SAVE America Act

Watch how easy Minnesota just made voter fraud look, and tell yourself the SAVE America Act isn't needed for national and election security.

James O'Keefe and Cam Higby went undercover at Minneapolis polling places on the state's primary day, dressed in Muslim attire and using broken Arab accents, and simply asked poll workers what it would take to vote without ID. You already know what the answer was going to be.

Under Minnesota law, one registered voter can "vouch" for up to eight other people at the polls--with zero photo ID required. "If you're all in the same precinct and you have already registered, you can vouch for them as ID. Eight people," one poll worker told O'Keefe on hidden camera. Another told him simply: "You're the ID."

No ballots were cast and no affidavits were signed, but the ridiculous holes in the elections system were exposed. The videos prove that Minnesota's own election workers were ready to wave eight strangers through the door on nothing but a different stranger's word.

But instead of thanking the two citizen journalists for catching a hole in the system before it got exploited for real, Democrat Secretary of State Steve Simon turned around and threatened them. Not the poll workers who said "you're the ID." Not the statute that makes this possible in 50 states with similar loopholes. He threatened the guys who exposed it

That's the whole ballgame in one reaction: protect the vulnerability, punish the people who found it. This is exactly why the SAVE America Act, requiring actual proof of citizenship to register and a real photo ID at the polls, no exceptions, isn't some far-right fever dream.

It's the bare minimum a functioning republic with democratically held elections requires, and Minnesota just proved it in living color.

Ro Khanna, considering running in 2028



Another "progressive" with a big smile and nice teeth

Some of his negatives

Khanna has called for halting both offensive and defensive U.S. weapon shipments to Israel due to human rights violations, co-sponsored the "Block the Bombs" bill, and attempted to strip defense-tech integration provisions from the National Defense Authorization Act.

He has characterized Israel’s military campaign in Gaza as amounting to genocide and signed resolutions acknowledging the Nakba (Please Google that). He became the first member of Congress to sign the Track AIPAC "PEACE Pledge," explicitly refusing campaign donations from major pro-Israel political action committees like AIPAC.

PEACE Pledge stands for Pledge to Enforce American law, Counter foreign influence, and End war crimes. It is a political commitment created by the advocacy group Track AIPAC to challenge the influence of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and other pro-Israel political action committees.

West Bank Incident: In July 2026, Khanna was briefly detained by armed Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, after which he sharply criticized the Israeli military's handling of the situation and the actions of settlers.

Israeli officials, military representatives, and U.S. figures disputed his account. Critics and officials labeled the trip a political "stunt" into a restricted area without clearance, and argued that video footage and official responses showed no actual violent detention or threats at gunpoint, but rather a standard security clearance of a blocked roadway.

He was a member of the Biden campaign's national advisory board and defended Joe Biden's performance.

And to top it off, he supported Graham Platner.

Jewish Owned Event Venue cancels Rashida Tlaib, the anti-semetic

Jewish-owned Fort Lauderdale venue pulls plug on Rashida Tlaib rally days before Florida primary

A Jewish-owned event space in Fort Lauderdale canceled a progressive rally headlined by Rep. Rashida Tlaib just hours before it was set to begin, citing security concerns after learning the full scope of the event, forcing organizers to scramble for an outdoor backup.

The Venue Fort Lauderdale posted a cancellation notice Thursday night after reviewing promotional materials for the "Chomp the Oligarchy" rally, which was scheduled for Friday evening, four days before Florida's Democratic primary.

The venue said it had become aware of the "full scope" of the gathering and could not proceed. Organizers moved the event to an alternate outdoor location, where roughly 300 supporters showed up and Tlaib appeared as planned.

The cancellation landed at the intersection of two fault lines running through the Democratic Party: an increasingly bitter fight between its progressive and establishment wings, and an unresolved reckoning over antisemitism that party leaders have spent years trying to manage.

Tlaib, the first Palestinian American woman elected to Congress, was censured by the full House in 2023 for embracing the slogan "from the river to the sea." She has described the phrase as "an aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence" from Palestinians. Many Jewish Americans, and a bipartisan majority of her own colleagues, heard something very different.

The rally's organizers, operating under the banner of a progressive nonprofit called Gen Z for Change, posted on Instagram that they "will not be silenced by racist right-wing agitators and conservative Democrats." They pledged to "keep fighting to deliver for working-class Floridians."

The Washington Examiner reported that Gen Z for Change had actually lost two venue reservations for the event, not just one, a detail that underscores how toxic the Tlaib association had become for local businesses.

Peter Navarro’s Great Transshipment Scam report is a warning shot to the world: stop cheating America.

China did not beat Trump’s tariffs. It tried to launder its exports through more than 40 countries, swapping labels, routing containers through third countries, and sneaking goods into the U.S. under lower tariff rates.

Navarro calls it what it is: modern smuggling. Mexico, India, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, and others are now on notice. The Trump administration is done letting Beijing use paperwork, shell routes, and fake origin claims to rob American workers and Treasury revenue. [Peter Navarro]
