Drawing on exclusive interviews, my Supreme Court clerkship, and decades of friendship with Justice Thomas, my new book tells the story of one of America's most consequential and misunderstood justices.

The Democrat Party has taken a radical turn. You now have candidates openly embracing socialism, talking about “seizing the means of production,” and saying they want to “dismantle capitalism.” Those aren’t Republican talking points. Those are their own words. That is Marxism. And Americans should take them seriously when they tell us what they want to do.

James Talarico’s record is really extreme. It’s out of the mainstream. It’s not where Texans are. He has said God is non-binary. He has said there are six different genders. He has said his policy on the southern border should be a welcome mat for illegal immigrants. And he has said his objective is to “dismantle capitalism.” That might work for city council in Berkeley, California, but this is Texas.

The fact that Abdul El-Seyed’s sister was caught on camera, admitting that Abdul is lying about his positions to fool voters, is simply not getting enough attention.

🚨🚨 Tucker Carlson kvetches that the British government "never apologized" for interning Oswald Mosley and "the whole leadership" of his movement during World War II. Mosley led the British Union of Fascists. He married in 1936 at Joseph Goebbels' home in Berlin, with Adolf Hitler as a guest. Carlson calls them "members of the opposition party." The British Union of Fascists never won a single seat in Parliament. Meanwhile, Carlson defends Vladimir Putin's Russia, where opposition leader Alexei Navalny died in an Arctic penal colony in 2024, and criticizing the army can carry 15 years in prison.

Tucker Carlson worked aggressively behind the scenes during the transition to sow discord and undermine confidence in my dad, Keith Kellogg, as the lead envoy to end the war. It is abundantly clear watching his interview with Jacob Rees-Moggs (who crushed Carlson) why he did so. In this one hour interview Carlson repeatedly pushes one overarching proposition: that defending other sovereign states against aggression is itself irrational, dangerous, and contrary to the national interest. Carlson argues that resisting Hitler ultimately wasn’t worth Britain’s sacrifice, and if that’s the bar then virtually no contemporary European security threat could ever clear the threshold. So he isn’t simply lowering the threshold for non-intervention. He’s raising the threshold for resistance beyond reach. These are his core arguments: 1. America’s allies aren’t worth defending. 2. Ukraine isn’t really sovereign. 3. NATO creates rather than deters wars. 4. Military strength causes escalation. 5. Western governments are a greater threat than hostile foreign powers. Resistance merely gets ordinary people killed. 6. The wars we thought were morally unambiguous weren’t worth fighting. Carlson wants the West dumb, defenseless, and deterred. This is death of civilization stuff.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said the Protect College Sports Act would bring “order to chaos” in college athletics by creating national rules for transfers, NIL compensation and other issues. Asked about criticism that the legislation would cap athlete pay and limit their ability to move between schools, Cruz told @tonydokoupil the bill protects athletes’ right to earn unlimited NIL compensation. The Senate passed the legislation 77-22. It now moves to the House.

Amen. Machines have no soul.
In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

🚨🚨 Tucker Carlson insists three times that Hitler "did not want to go to war with the UK," and twice demands that Jacob Rees-Mogg "acknowledge" it. Hitler "didn't want war" with Britain the way a mugger doesn't want a fight with his victim. He wanted Britain to stand aside while he took Europe. Britain publicly guaranteed Poland's independence in March 1939. Hitler invaded Poland anyway. Rees-Mogg: "I'm very surprised you're verging on defending Hitler." Carlson sarcastically remarks that he is a secret Nazi, then clarifies that he is neither a secret Nazi nor a public Nazi.

Tucker (who adores Putin) idiotically claims that the Russian economy is larger than the UK’s. That is objectively, laughably false.

.@CoachCalArk is 100% right on this. If the PCSA passes, schools can spend more than DOUBLE on student-athletes. If it fails, athletes will make LESS. Nearly $50 MILLION for players.
$5 MILLION for women’s & Olympic sports.
10 years to finish your degree.
5 years of medical coverage after you leave. This is about putting PLAYERS FIRST and protecting the future of college sports.

Yes, Tucker, the UK is better off for winning WWII. America is better off for winning WWII. And the world would be much worse off if the Nazis had won WWII. This is not complicated.

Incredible economic numbers are out but the media doesn’t want you to know about it. We have the lowest poverty rate in history, the highest median income in history, and gas prices are still below what they were under Biden.

Coach Saban and President Gee are exactly right. College sports is one of America’s great institutions. It has given generations of young men and women the chance to compete, earn an education, represent their communities, and be part of something bigger than themselves. That tradition is worth protecting. I’m grateful to Coach Saban and President Gee for making the case so powerfully. The Senate did its job. Now the House should act and send the Protect College Sports Act to President Trump’s desk.
