No, they do not.

Both parties are being taken over by people who want to use the long arm of the government to degrade private property rights, among other individual rights.

I see all these candidates talking about protecting farmland.

And I wonder - who are they protecting it from? The farmers who own it?

Is it in danger of imminent domain?

Is it okay if the farmers decide to sell it and another farmer doesn’t buy it?

Do they believe in personal property rights?

Six years ago, a McKinney SWAT team destroyed Vicki Baker's home, while attempting to apprehend a fugitive. She was innocent, and had no connection to the criminal. The city refused to compensate her.

Today, the Fifth Circuit held that the Texas Constitution requires that she be compensated.

This should not have taken six years. In 1980, the Texas Supreme Court held the government must compensate innocent people whose property is destroyed by law enforcement activity. The case remains good law and has been cited repeatedly by the Texas Supreme Court in recent years. Unfortunately, too many cities simply ignore the law. They know what the TX Constitution requires, but their position is that they don't have to follow it until someone sues them.

Public officials take an oath to uphold the TX Constitution. It shouldn't require six years of litigation and a court order to get them to follow it. But if that's what it takes, we're coming for you.

@travisfitzwater Congratulations and thank you! It was an honor to serve with you- and a bigger honor to call you a friend.

Well done, good and faithful servant!

@travisfitzwater Happy Birthday Senator!!!

The Supreme Court should not be “balanced” or seek to give wins to “both sides.”

Its job is to correctly interpret the law. If one side keeps advancing interpretations of the law that are incorrect, they should lose more often.

There’s a deep-seated cancer going on. I’m not surprised by the antisemitism on the left, particularly among those who embrace radical Islam. However, the rise of antisemitism on the political right is concerning. The sudden belief that Jews are solely responsible for their problems is absurd. How did a movement that prides itself on personal responsibility and resilience end up adopting such a victimhood mentality?!

One thing I hope my Republican friends learn from the redistricting battles—that also applies to a whole host of issues—is that if we FIGHT we can win

You have to be willing to take the slings & arrows but in the end people are clamoring for courage.

This is the way.

What does a smooth chanterelle look like, and how did Dexter win the designation of "Rib City" for Missouri?

Looking forward to the photos of today's No Kings protests as HRH speaks to Congress.

The statements made by President Trump on Truth Social regarding the Pope were entirely inappropriate and disrespectful. They don’t contribute at all to a constructive conversation. It is the Pope’s prerogative to articulate Catholic doctrine and the principles that govern the moral life. In regard to the concrete application of those principles, people of good will can and do disagree. I would warmly recommend that serious Catholics within the Trump administration–Secretary Rubio, Vice President Vance, Ambassador Brian Burch, and others–might meet with Vatican officials so that a real dialogue can take place. This is far preferable to the statements on social media.

I am very grateful for the many ways that the Trump administration has reached out to Catholics and other people of faith. It has been a high honor to serve on the Religious Liberty Commission. No President in my lifetime has shown a greater dedication to defending our first liberty. All that said, I think the President owes the Pope an apology.

[Joe @not_so_gratian]

@HoneyTongueMuse @catholic_love Everyone swears up and down that they want Catholicism that’s radical and not watered down, and then acts shocked when they’re told that the Gospel is fundamentally incompatible with the conditions of a comfortable American life in the 21st century.

Thank God we broke the log jam.
