@MannyRamirez_TX @JaneNelsonTX I’ve met her several times and she is always kind, smart, and humble. I’m sure her next chapter of public service will be excellent!

Because we need to be reminded of this from time to time.

The late great Ann Widdecombe defending free speech at the Oxford Union. This is worth your time.

Hello Mrs. Owens,

You told millions of people that Tyler Robinson "wasn't even there." That you felt "confident stating that Tyler Robinson did not kill murder Charlie Kirk."

He was on camera. Prone on the Losi rooftop at 12:22. Shot at 12:23:28. DNA on the screwdriver at 30 quintillion to one. DNA on the rifle at 1.7 octillion to one. He told his family what he did. His parents helped him surrender. He texted his roommate: "I am, I'm sorry." He engraved "Hey Fascist! Catch!" on the ammunition a month before he used it.

You said police "didn't even question" Lance Twiggs. He was interviewed twice. FBI the morning after. Joint state-federal team seven months later. His own attorney. Voluntary phone surrender. You laughed when you said it.

You told Shawn Ryan a shaped charge killed Charlie. That PETN was in his microphone. The medical examiner says gunshot wound. Bullet fragments were recovered from his body. A .30-06 Mauser with Robinson's DNA was found in the woods. Neither side — not prosecution, not defense — has mentioned explosives. Not once in four days.

You said the shot came from below. The Losi building is above the amphitheater.

You called Erika Kirk a "clinical psychopath" to an audience of millions. You said the assassination was "an occult ritual." You said Charlie was "sitting in a pentagram." You told people Israel killed him because he refused Netanyahu.

You made over a hundred episodes. You built a franchise on a dead man's name.

And the hardest fact of all: Tyler Robinson's own defense lawyers — the people whose entire career is on the line to get him acquitted — have refused to make a single one of your arguments. Not one. They're challenging DNA methodology. They are doing their jobs. You were doing something else entirely.

Charlie Kirk changed my life. He platformed my work when nobody knew who I was. He had my back when I was doxxed. I was the ten-thousandth most important person in his world and I will never be able to repay him.

So I did what I know how to do. I read every transcript. I watched every hour of testimony. I cataloged your claims and I held them up against what was said under oath.

Every single one failed.

I don't know why you did this. I'm not going to speculate on your motives, because that would make me exactly the kind of analyst I've spent my career refusing to be. But I know what you did. You told people confident lies about a dead man's murder, and millions of them believed you, and some of them turned that belief into threats against his widow.

The trial continues. And every day of sworn testimony is another day your words get tested against reality... under oath, on the record, where it counts.

I'll be here for all of it... because just as Charlie defended me, I will do what little I can to defend his legacy and @TPUSA and @MrsErikaKirk from evil.

@edzitron I just recently started following because your information and content is very helpful and needed. Thank you! Following from Hunt County, Texas.

@jamesdickey Does this mean something like the Core Scientific project in Hunt County has to wait 128 weeks for a transformer?

New: Texas is set to forego at least $3.1 billion in sales tax revenue from data centers over the next two years. That figure already makes it one of the state’s costliest tax breaks, and tax experts tell me it’s likely an underestimate. #txlege https://t.co/qD8QzrU0Jd

@Bentley4Texas Without commenting on this bond (no knowledge of it), my personal experience is that many in the over 65 crowd give no thought to the tax cap and are often the strongest voices against bonds. I suspect this is due to their greater experience in their “benefits”.

For the first time in my life, let me say: I 100 percent agree with @AOC. She's completely right. Legalized gambling is a scourge.

[Jonathan Haidt @JonHaidt]

Governor Shapiro is doing a wonderful thing. Giving kids longer recess is so important, and so few leaders are talking about it. Combined with phone free schools, PA students will be more engaged in school than they were before. Bravo @GovernorShapiro

[Mark Hutchins @MarkHutHuntCo]

@davidhale1776 It’s strange to take offense to what Huckabee said and then act like American troops were going to rape women because of “unconditional” surrender. Spiraling indeed.

@wesvirdelltx I’m going to take this resolution to my Precinct Convention.

We have overprotected our children in the real world and underprotected them online. This is not just about phones and iPads; it's about childhood.

Let them have adventurous play, with small risks. It's safer and healthier in the long run.

[Mark Hutchins @MarkHutHuntCo]

@PatrickSvitek Sorry to hear, Patrick. I loved your election coverage in TX and wouldn’t hate to see you back focusing here.

[Mark Hutchins @MarkHutHuntCo]

We need more policy ideas like this.
