This is your annual reminder that "Daylight Saving Time" is stupid and a personal choice. I haven't changed my clocks for #DST in over twenty years! #EndDST
On this day in 1913, the 16th Amendment handed the federal government the ability to tax income directly.
That single change reshaped everything:
-Federal power expanded
-The administrative state exploded
-War, surveillance, and bureaucracy became easier to fund
The 16th Amendment didn’t make government more accountable, it made expansion inevitable and permanent.
Woodrow Wilson didn’t just preside over this shift, he championed the philosophy behind it. And we’ve been paying for it every day since.
Literally.
Dear news media:
We the public no longer trust "a source familiar with the situation" or anything similar. Either find a real source or don't report it!
Signed,
Everyone
This is not our war.
But if it were, Congress must decide such matters according to our Constitution.
I’m introducing a bipartisan War Powers Resolution tomorrow to prohibit our involvement.
I invite all members of Congress to cosponsor this resolution.
@elonmusk Most want DC to stop stealing, spending us into debt, declaring endless “emergencies,” erecting barriers to prosperity, and treating Americans like suspected criminals.
We need a strong party of liberty that limits the federal government and empowers individuals and communities.
@elonmusk You don’t need to build a new party from scratch.
There’s already one that believes in free markets, limited government, innovation without interference, and the decentralization of power.
It’s the Libertarian Party. Let’s talk.

It's interesting that the new Catholic pope is from Chicago, but not very meaningful. About 20% of Americans are Catholic, a declining number. But all the memes are cute!
(I'm not Catholic; not a believer in fairytales at all.)
"Legislate, litigate, agitate..."
These are the words of my Congressperson, @repdeliaramirez (Dem, IL-3) during a recent conference call. She went on to encourage lawfare and personal stalking/harassment of those who see things differently than her. Absolutely shameful behavior!
