My colleagues and I are extremely proud to be part of the team at @AmericanFreedom - where principled conservativism is alive and well!

[Advancing American Freedom @AmericanFreedom]

President Reagan’s vision of free markets, strong families, and American leadership helped build decades of economic growth and prosperity.

AAF is carrying this tradition forward—advancing conservative policies and principles that made America exceptional.

AAF’s President @TimChapman sums it up perfectly: ��AAF’s strength is staying principled and building for the long term.”

[Advancing American Freedom @AmericanFreedom]

⚖️ Federal judges shape nearly every aspect of American life — yet most Americans know little about how they’re selected.

➡️ AAF’s @TomJipping breaks down the latest judicial appointment data, key trends, and what’s happening in the courts with the Judicial Appointments Memo.

Check it out!

[Richard A. Stern @RichAStern]

I could not oppose the views of Cenk Uygur and Hasan Piker more. That is exactly why they should have been allowed to speak.

The West was built by those confident enough to engage with people they disagree with.

[Civitas Outlook @CivitasOutlook]

At some point, we all end up being in the minority, and when that happens, all those obstacles that seemed horrible when your party was in power will seem the very things that are preventing us from embarking down the road to ruin.

Rights come from God, not government. Prosperity comes from innovators and entrepreneurs, not government.

[Advancing American Freedom @AmericanFreedom]

If judges can rewrite the Constitution whenever they want, the Constitution means nothing.

AAF’s @malcolm_john explains why originalism’s critics so often abandon the Constitution’s actual text in favor of judicial activism.

[PrestonBrashers @PrestonBrashers]

The Constitution can make things slow & cumbersome. It promotes legitimacy, but it isn't efficient. That's a feature, not a bug. Originalism helps ensure the rules aren't changed in the middle of the game—At some point, we all end up in the minority.

A beautiful article about a father’s account of raising his autistic son, and the lessons he learned and gratitude he developed along the way - I highly recommend it!

[Sean T at RCP @SeanTrende]

I almost hesitate to promote this, because it wasn't really intended to be a piece. I just sort of sat down and it came out. Maybe someone else out there has the same type of day today, and it'll speak to them.

A fascinating story about a very interesting individual, who made a big impact in the art world through sheer determination. May he rest in peace. https://t.co/vY8ceEMjaW

[Tim Chapman @TimChapman]

I appreciate Rep. Massie’s commitment to limited government - we need way more of that in the GOP. But his decision to make common cause with anti-Israel conspiracists was wrong and as a political matter gained him nothing.

Tucker Carlson and the rest are out of touch with rank and file Republican voters.

[John Malcolm @malcolm_john]

Bob Woodson was a wonderful, principled, caring individual. May he rest in peace.

[Mike Pence @Mike_Pence]

This is truly heartbreaking. Robert Woodson, Sr. was an inspiring civil rights leader and an unmatched champion of equality of opportunity for underserved communities across America.

Bob Woodson was also my friend of many years and he will be deeply missed. Bob lived out his faith with conviction and was a passionate champion of personal responsibility and the American Dream.

Karen and I send our deepest sympathies and prayers to the Woodson Family, the dedicated staff at the Woodson Center and everyone who loved and admired this truly great American. God Bless Robert Woodson🙏🏻

AAF Applauds The House of Representatives for Passing the PROTECT Kids Act

Advancing American Freedom applauds the House of Representatives and, in particular, the House Committee on Education & Workforce, for standing up to gender indoctrination in America’s public schools.

"If passed by the Senate and signed into law, this Act would be a significant step toward restoring parental authority around the country."

-AAF General Counsel J. Marc Wheat
