An important reminder from the Franklin Police Department:

We've seen an uptick in mail thefts across the region in recent weeks and months, with criminals specifically targeting checks placed in residential mailboxes.

If you need to mail a check, consider these safer alternatives:
• Pay electronically whenever possible.
• Drop it inside your local Post Office instead of leaving it in your home mailbox.
• Use a secure USPS blue collection box, preferably before the day's final pickup.
• If mailing a check, avoid placing it in your mailbox overnight or for extended periods.

If you regularly send checks through the mail, monitor your bank account for any unauthorized activity and report suspicious transactions immediately.

If you notice suspicious activity around mailboxes in your neighborhood, or believe you've been the victim of mail theft, contact the Franklin Police Department right away.

At the end of a particularly thrilling and rollicking meeting in the Oval Office, Lindsey Graham turned to the room and said: “I’ve never had this much fun in my life.”

I cannot describe to you how much joy President Trump’s leadership and friendship brought to Lindsey. Meetings with Graham at the White House were filled with camaraderie, kinship and uproarious laughter.

As heartbreaking as his sudden passing is, I hope it will bring some measure of comfort to those who cherished him to know just how much he was living his dream every day. Very rarely in life do you get to be exactly where you want to be, when you want to be there, with who you want to be with, doing precisely what you want to do — that was every moment for Lindsey.

When President Trump won in Nov 2024, Lindsey was exultant. Elated. And determined. He couldn’t wait to spearhead work, as the Budget Chairman, on the reconciliation bill that would cement President Trump’s most important campaign promises. I’ll never forget the senate lunch, when a couple Senators were a tad off the program, and Lindsey — in his inimitable way — made sure everyone was onside by the time we left. It was a glorious thing to witness. He knew how to move a room.

Lindsey was a senator’s senator. The job was everything to him. Truly did he believe in the splendor of the office and the noble lineage behind it, of which he was the worthy heir.

He was a senator in the mold of those who fashioned the institution, someone who still had the ability, in a heated exchange, to use rhetorical power to change the course of events.

Which is why we will never forget his legendary Kavanaugh moment. We rarely think that we are out of time with our friends, so while there is a lot more I wish I could have said to Lindsey, I am glad that more than once I told him what that moment meant to the whole nation and why he was the only Senator who could have done it with such utter perfection.

Most importantly, I had the chance to tell him on many occasions what his friendship meant to me and to us all. There was never once a time he didn’t answer a phone call and lend whatever assistance was required. It was never a question with Lindsey. He believed deeply in the code of friendship and loyalty.

The fact that Lindsey started out as a political opponent only to become one the President’s most steadfast and faithful supporters underscores that Lindsey believed emphatically in the voice of the people.

There is a lot more I would like to say. His passing, at a time when he had never been more dynamic, is as unexpected as it is shocking. In many respects, Lindsey was the last of a breed of American Senator whose like we may not yet see again for a long time.

He lived every minute in the arena, a political gladiator to the very last.

More than anything now, our thoughts are with his Sister, nieces and loved ones.

We pray that God will ease their sorrow and heal their pain.

Lindsey can never be replaced and will never be forgotten.

Godspeed, my friend.

This is not hard. 80% of the American people want the SAVE America Act to pass, not 80% of Republicans, 80% of Americans.

The only organization that refuses to act is the United States Senate.

We have a responsibility to secure the voting process for the American people.

I went to a prestigious prep school (Choate).

By default, I know way too many people who slid into the USAID grifter circuit.

It’s way worse than you think: nauseating buzzword-filled circle-jerks on Zoom calls, business-class conferences in Zurich, private champagne dinners, and endless layers of outsourcing (each one taking their fat cut) - all on unlimited expense accounts.

Saying 90% of the “aid” disappears into admin, overhead, and fraud is a gross understatement.

And for what?

So these con artists can LARP as humanitarian saviors, feign respectability, and send their kids to private school…

…all on the backs of hardworking American taxpayers.

It's a lifestyle racket. A facade.

And the worst part is that we're all expected to hold these people in high regard.

The Left wants the White House to feel like an untouchable institution reserved for political elites. They hate seeing it used for events that remind Americans it belongs to them.

Turning the White House into a place of celebration, culture, and public engagement, especially as we approach America’s 250th, strips away the myth that government is something distant and above the American people.

No surprise the Democrats despised last night’s UFC event, but what truly frustrates them is what it represents: a White House that feels like the people’s house again.

“I’ll kill your whole f–king family. Your whole f–king family is dead. Your children, your wife, all dead."

A left-wing activist in Newark was caught on camera shouting those words at an unmasked ICE officer as protests outside the Delaney ICE facility turned chaotic.

Acting AG Todd Blanche is now firing back, promising that the "disgusting" activist will be caught and charged, emphasizing that threatening a federal officer and their family is a federal crime.

“That is disgusting … and we see his face and I promise you we will find him, and when we find him, we will arrest him."
