I was today years old when I discovered the @CatoInstitute building making an appearance in the movie The American President (1995) — now streaming on Netflix.

Republican/conservative support for the Second Amendment was always a mile wide and an inch deep—and largely performative. Ask me how I know.

This was definitely a highlight during my time here at the @CatoInstitute! See me here with my incredible Cato Gov Affairs team and @jrhuddles

Special thanks to our Conference team and the scholars who participated! This was truly a labor of love brought to life!

The Cato Institute hosted its first annual Congressional Policy Summit, welcoming Hill staff to engage in policy discussions with Cato experts.

Topics included foreign policy, the budget, and technology, and staffers learned more about Cato’s commitment to individual liberty, limited government, free markets, and peace.

Shoutout to @foxmike90’s work on Criminal Justice reform! A great win for Liberty today!

The White House just pardoned Tanner Mansell & John Moore—convicted for trying to save sharks from what they believed was illegal poaching gear. 🦈

Now pardoned, their case is a textbook example of overzealous prosecution and juries denied full context. @foxmike90
