A federal judge ruled that Congress cannot prohibit noncitizens from voting in federal elections. AAF’s @HvonSpakovsky says the ruling is “patently wrong” and ignores Congress’ constitutional authority over naturalization. Read more from @foxnewspolitics:

It’s one thing to be of the mind that Lindsey was legally insane. But the women who applauded her, flooded the streets and court room steps in pink, speculated that it wasn’t her at all… they created the permission structure for this woman to kill her child, Bear. Shame on them.
Barrett “Bear” Walsh was 2 years old. Just beginning his journey in life. He was full of warmth, light, and innocence. His mother, Corie Walsh, had become fixated on the Lindsay Clancy trial and “women’s rights.” Instead of seeing her beautiful son as a gift from God, she began to view him as an oppressor and called him “the devil.” In a shocking fit of rage, his own mother hanged him from a rafter in the basement. Barrett’s life was snuffed out in the most horrific way by the one person in the world he thought he could trust to protect him. Corie Walsh is now likely to follow in the footsteps of Lindsay Clancy and become a hero to the feminist movement. She’ll blame it on insanity. She’ll blame it on hormone fluctuations. The Pandora’s Box has been ripped open. There is a pernicious evil sweeping across this country, and it must be stopped before it’s too late.

Reporter on Bond Market: The yields have come back up since then. Have you talked to Bessent about another type of intervention.? Trump: The ultimate intervention is our military. And if we have to use that, we will.

Exactly! Foreign direct investment (FDI) of dollars in the U.S., thanks to our international reserve status, exceeds $7 trillion. This fuels our economic growth and maintains our top spot in output. Typical family income grew by $28k the past 40 years, largely as a result.
One of the great lessons of Western thought is that no man is perfect, not even Ron Paul. The example below isn’t always the case. The US industrialized by running large trade deficits - by selling dollarized assets abroad - to finance the creation of an industrial powerhouse instead of a welfare state.

Current "common good conservative" inflation messaging: $20 burritos are a human right but also every serious methodology for making them cheaper (i.e. kill the tariffs, break the unions, and deregulate the food supply chain) isn't America First, so we need to complain a lot about how America is cooked and then surrender to Iran
Current neocon war inflation messaging: fast food burritos are only for the “independently wealthy.” Burritos.

Though the final text of our national charter- the Declaration of Independence - wouldn’t be finalized for two more days, 250 years ago today, the Continental Congress voted to make us independent and set us on the road to become the greatest nation in history!! 🇺🇸🎆 P.S. If you haven’t been to the Great American State Fair yet, go and definitely visit the best booth - the one from FL 🌴😎🐊

Wait…they’ve been doing this kind of thing for 8 YEARS and JUST got engaged 🤔
A 2018 video of Russian daredevils Angela Nikolau & Ivan Beerkus climbing a Hong Kong skyscraper for a wild selfie has resurfaced Today they got arrested after scaling the Empire State Building spire and getting engaged Imagine us pulling that off on the Kremlin domes 🇷🇺

I question the discernment and frankly common sense of any news aggregator who would immediately give credence to the notion that the shooting was motivated by pro-Israel sentiments/IDF connections. Trump is pro-Israel—what exactly would be the point?
If you want to see how misinformation goes viral on here. An account with 350 followers posts an AI image of the shooter wearing an IDF sweatshirt and claims it’s from Insta. No link or anything. Mario then promotes that claim to his 3.4 million followers as if it’s factual.

America’s 250th birthday must not mark the day that federal funding restarts for Planned Parenthood—an organization that killed 434,450 unborn babies in FY2024. Reconciliation should be used to prevent that.
🚨 “Congressional Republicans must deliver for pro-life Americans by extending the ban on federal funding for Planned Parenthood,” says AAF Founder @Mike_Pence. AAF’s “Reconciliation 2.0” roadmap makes it clear: if Congress fails to act by July 4, taxpayer dollars will once again fund abortion providers. Unacceptable.

The federal government will take over $41,000 per American household in taxes this year 🤯...but it could have been worse... The One Big Beautiful Bill (also know as The Working Families Tax Cuts) avoided $4 trillion dollars in tax hikes and made it much easier to invest in America! Come check out our @AmericanFreedom 90-page guide to the key reforms of the new law - the One Big Beautiful Booklet 🇺🇸

Today is my last day as VP of Strategic Communications @Heritage. I’m grateful to @KevinRobertsTX for entrusting me with this position. It’s been an honor to work alongside some of the nation’s foremost policy minds while leading Heritage’s talented communications team—a group I am deeply proud of. I am returning full-time to my company, Leverage PR, where I will continue advancing conservative principles through high-impact communications, support more organizations in the battle of ideas, and further my disability advocacy work.

Turns out it wasn’t Israel as Al Jazeera reported. It wasn’t US as Iran reported. It was a failed launch by the IRGC that fell back to the ground and struck the elementary school. The elementary school is attached to an IRGC naval base
A failed missile launch in Iran caused the projectile to fall on a school. Images captured the moment it failed, fell back to ground, and struck. The Iranians - just like the Palestinians in Gaza at the beginning of the war - immediately claimed it was a missile fired by the United States or Israel.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This image has been geolocated to Zanjan, over 1,300 km away from the girls' school in Minab, by multiple investigations. It has nothing to do with the school. x.com/talhagin/statu… x.com/GeoConfirmed/s… x.com/GeoConfirmed/s… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Mina…
