Milton Friedman was an amazing economist who did an excellent job of educating the masses on free markets and JD Vance is a brown-nosing Vice President who makes excuses for the Trump American Socialist model.

Because it goes against evangelical beliefs. It teaches that salvation is achieved through charity and works. What’s more, it’s the supposed words of Jesus of Nazareth, not from the Pauline epistles.

[Jack Jenkins @jackmjenkins]

Peculiar reporter’s notebook detail: I reached out to a LOT of evangelical professors/scholars for this piece. Southern Baptist seminaries, evangelical schools, etc.

Few responded. Almost none wanted to talk about interpretations of Matt 25 — which wasn’t true of other scholars.

[Conor Friedersdorf @conor64]

The MAGA movement should but won't renounce its leader. The Claremont Institute should but won't respond to this the way that they would if Donald Trump was a Democrat. J.D. Vance should but won't renounce this. Lots of civic failures ongoing.

Milton Friedman understood something fundamental about human flourishing: people are generally better at deciding how to use their own resources than government is.

His economic philosophy wasn’t simply about lower taxes or smaller government. It was rooted in the belief that free people, making voluntary choices, create stronger families, stronger communities, and a more prosperous society.

When people keep more of what they earn:

• They can invest in their own education, businesses, and careers.
• Families can save for the future and build generational wealth.
• Entrepreneurs have greater incentive to innovate and create jobs.
• Consumers benefit from competition through better products and lower prices.
• Charities, churches, and civic organizations have greater capacity to serve their communities.
• Property ownership encourages long-term investment and stewardship.
• Economic independence reinforces personal liberty by reducing dependence on government.
• Millions of individual decisions allocate resources more effectively than centralized planning ever could.

The goal of a free-market economy is not simply to maximize GDP. It is to maximize human freedom, allowing individuals to pursue their own goals, support their families, build businesses, and contribute to their communities as they see fit.

Reasonable people can debate where the proper balance lies between markets and government. But Friedman consistently argued that human flourishing is most likely when individuals retain both the freedom and the responsibility to direct the fruits of their own labor rather than having those decisions made for them.

Show this to Ross Perot and Pat Buchanan truthers.

The middle class shrank because more of it became upper middle-class.

Pardoning a child rapist while covering up the Epstein files is Ultra MAGA right?

[Robby Soave @robbysoave]

JD Vance is so frustrating. Here he takes gratuitous shots at Milton Friedman as a bad model for Republican economic thinking.

With Friedman as the guiding light, Ronald Reagan won 49 states and ushered in a decade of unrivaled prosperity.

[John A. Daly @JohnDalyBooks]

This whole video is worth a watch. Imagine being completely dismantled by... Chris Cuomo. Lol.

[Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @JoshEakle]

Chris Cuomo (of all people) just effortlessly unmasked Tucker Carlson as a Russian propagandist.

Cuomo: “I'm a journalist. I'm not allowed into Russia. Why are you allowed in?”

Just watch how Tucker squirms.

I wish conservatives understood that they’re being played by grifters like this guy. They keep talking about this bill to keep you riled up. The Senate will receive the House NDAA, and they’ll continue with their own bill, for which cloture to the MTP has already been filed.

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 BREAKING: Speaker Johnson has just informed Sen. Mike Lee the SAVE America Act *WILL* be forced into the base text of the NDAA, which puts massive pressure on the Senate to pass it once the House sends it over

GREAT NEWS! Thank you MAGA Mike!

MIKE LEE: "He assured me that MIRV process will guarantee the two bills are merged and received in the Senate as one bill, with the SAVE America Act in the base text."

"@SpeakerJohnson is as committed as ever to ensuring it becomes law, including keeping it on the NDAA (a “must pass” bill) as it comes over from the House to the Senate, and fighting for it thereafter."

All hands on deck for secure elections 🇺🇸

[EmGW @EmGW4]

Multiple GOP Senators have said or suggested they regretted the confirmations of cabinet members like RFK, Jr., Bondi, Hegseth, and Patel. Here’s a 2nd chance to ACTUALLY do what’s right this time.
