. @ryanburge is an archetype of the high-minded Protestant man who is interested in truth, fairness, and getting it right above merely championing his own team or cause. He may not always be right. He's not above criticism. But you see all too few people even trying these days.
A thoroughly conservative voting record.
Routinely pushed back on anti-vax insanity.
A truly thoughtful voice in the senate.
His only "crime" : voting to impeach Trump after he attempted a coup over losing an election.
You will be missed, Senator Cassidy.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that some people are blaming him for what ABC did. Reading the NYT article about this there is a lot of articles that are just gone. That's not @NateSilver538 's fault, it's ABC. Social media is a graceless place.
BTW, I approached ABC about buying back the former FiveThirtyEight IP*, and they said they wouldn't sell at any price because I'd criticized their management of the brand. Costing Disney shareholders $$ b/c of their vindictiveness.
* I own the models but the trademarks, etc.
Today at Trump National Doral Miami, we witnessed an unforgettable moment with the dedication of the 22-foot statue honoring President Donald J. Trump.
Let me be clear: this is not a golden calf. We worship the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone.
This statue is a celebration of life. It is a symbol of resilience, freedom, patriotism, strength, and the will power to keep fighting for the future of America.
It also stands as a reminder of the hand of God and His protection over President Trump’s life. Time and time again, when his life was threatened, God’s mercy prevailed.
Today was not just a ribbon cutting. It was the public display of a powerful movement that has spread across America and around the world.
I was deeply honored to serve as President Trump’s main point of contact throughout this process, and I do not take that assignment lightly.
I want to personally thank Ash, Dustin Stockton, Brock Pierce, Hershey Friedman, Yaakov Filitchkin, Sam, Jack, and the 6,000+ Patriots who donated, believed, sacrificed, and made this historic moment possible.
Thank you to the entire Trump Doral team for your incredible hospitality and excellence.
And thank you, President Donald J. Trump, for calling me today and speaking to the crowd. We are forever grateful.
God bless President Trump.
God bless every Patriot.
And God bless the United States of America. 🇺🇸

A lot of people are asking why more politicians are not like Ben Sasse.
Because voters will not elect them, that’s why. They may say they care about character, but most don’t vote that way.
Instead they vote party line, ideology, self-interest, or out of pique against a perceived enemy.
How can we expect our leaders to embody higher levels of virtue if a majority of voters don’t make personal character a red line?
It looks like we get the leaders we deserve.
What’s funny about all this gerrymandering talk is that we’re fighting over which party controls a legislative branch that doesn’t actually legislate anymore.
Oh Lord Jesus Christ, walk with us today and always, as you did with the disciples on the road to Emmaus. As you did for them on this day after your glorious resurrection, show us yourself risen, alive for ever, giving yourself in all your eternal glory to us poor sinners.
It's barbaric to use people as human shields, but then there's the whole "let's wipe out a civilization" threat from the president...which is kind of a problem.
JUST IN: New video shows crowds locking arms around Iranian power plants, creating HUMAN SHIELDS – a striking scene as Trump's 8p.m. deadline for the Islamic Republic nears.
Iran has rejected the latest terms, raising the stakes with just hours to go.
