David Platt & McLean Bible Church lost at Virginia Court of Appeals. Long running case against Platt over allegations he rigged a church election reinstated by appeals court.
Furious parents are now demanding the removal of federal funding for over 20 North Carolina public schools after they engaged in mass, coordinated, teacher-led anti-Trump walkouts, forcing the cancellation of classes for more than 700,000 kids.
Here’s the list, make some noise.
@catturd2 I was just there in December and met a young mother who is having to wash and reuse colostomy bags repeatedly for her four year old daughter because they do not have enough to go around - pray for Cuba!
@LeaderJohnThune@DHSgov “leader” thune - why do you keep having your staff post on X just to get 10k comments about how big of a traitorous turd you are? If you love your country - resign
The year is 1950. Your doctor lights a cigarette and tells you smoking is fine. He read it in a study. He is telling the truth about having read it. He does not know, or is not saying, that the study was funded by the tobacco industry.
The year is 1958. Your doctor tells you to eat less fat. The evidence is contested. The contestation is not in the public messaging. The food industry has been helpful in clarifying which findings deserve attention. Some researchers who published contradictory data have been quietly defunded. Ancel Keys is on the cover of Time magazine.
The year is 1962. Your doctor prescribes thalidomide to your pregnant wife for morning sickness. It has been approved. The FDA gave it the green light in Europe. Twelve thousand children will be born with severe limb malformations before anyone in an official capacity acknowledges the problem. The families are told the drug was safe. The drug was approved. Both of these things remain true.
The year is 1972. Your doctor prescribes Valium. Britain is in the grip of a benzodiazepine wave that will last two decades. The dependency risk is known internally. It is not shared. Your doctor is not lying to you. He was not told either.
The year is 1999. Your doctor prescribes Vioxx for your arthritis. It is newer than ibuprofen, well-tolerated, and Merck has a study showing it works. Merck also has internal data suggesting it roughly doubles the risk of heart attack. This data will not reach your doctor for four more years. Fifty thousand people are estimated to have died in the interim. Merck eventually settles for 4.85 billion dollars. No criminal charges are brought.
The year is 2002. Your doctor prescribes OxyContin. Purdue Pharma trained its sales representatives to tell doctors the addiction risk was less than one percent. That figure came from a letter, not a study. The letter was about patients with terminal cancer on short-term doses in hospital settings. Your doctor is a GP with a patient who has a bad back. Nobody draws a distinction. Nobody is required to.
The year is 2008. Your doctor checks your cholesterol. Your LDL is elevated. You are prescribed a statin. Nobody mentions that the number needed to treat for primary prevention is approximately 250. Nobody mentions that the muscle deterioration you'll notice over the next two years is listed as a rare side effect rather than a documented pattern affecting a meaningful percentage of patients. The trial that informed the prescription was funded by the manufacturer.
Now it is today.
Your doctor has new guidelines. New studies. New consensus.
He is confident.
He has always been confident.
The confidence has never been the problem.
The confidence is, in fact, precisely the problem.
🎯 HOW TO DEPORT 1 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS IN 2026
Most think tanks do policy for K Street. @ItsYourGov does it for Main Street, which is why I joined as a Visiting Fellow.
Our coalition - Congressional advisors, immigration officials, lawyers, and in my case, a data analyst - just released our Mass Deportation Playbook. Common-sense, cost-effective policies the administration can implement now.
Here's why it's needed: fewer than 350,000 deportations in year one. Only 72,000 self-departures via CBP Home. Self-deportation isn't working at the scale promised.
🎯 Our target: 1 million deportations in 2026. Here's how (partial) :
🏦 DEBANKING
Revise post-9/11 "Know Your Customer" regs to bar anyone who can't prove legal status from holding a US bank account. Block remittances. Notify landlords, lenders, and state benefit agencies.
💵 $998/DAY FINES
There's an existing law (never enforced) imposing $998/day civil fines on anyone who refuses to leave after a final removal order. The playbook says start enforcing it. Place liens on their property.
🥷🏻 STOP IDENTITY THEFT - CIVIL ASSET FORFEITURE
Seize vehicles, bank accounts, tools, and remittance money, using fraud and identity theft as the legal hook. Make self-deportation the rational financial choice.
🏛 IRS AS ENFORCEMENT
Move SSA's "No-Match" letters to the IRS. Employer doesn't fire the unverified worker within 90 days? IRS audit of 7 years of wages + ICE enforcement.
🪖 SELECTIVE SERVICE
All males 18-26 must register for the draft — including illegal aliens. Failure: up to 5 years prison, $250K fine, and deportable. The Selective Service has zero data on compliance. Start prosecuting.
⚖️ ASYLUM REFORM
63% of the 3.8M court backlog is asylum. A government sample found only 30% of cases had zero fraud indicators. 12% confirmed fraud. 58% showed fraud indicators. The playbook calls for AI screening of all applications.
👮 287(g) — LOCAL ENFORCEMENT
Agreements between ICE and local police are up 641% since Jan 2025. But outside Florida, average red-state participation is only 6.5%. Massive room to scale.

🚨BREAKING: Footage from outside the hotel in Cuba where the communist flotilla, Pablo Iglesias, Hasan Piker, Code Pink, and other useful idiots and VIP propagandists lounge in comfort while Cubans are left in the dark during a nationwide blackout.
The entire island is without power. Hospitals? Dark. People? Screwed.
The contrast couldn’t be more startling. The lights are blazing, the AC is humming at the luxury hotel, and within seconds you can see how Cubans live.
But hey, as long as the regime’s useful idiots stay comfortable, the show must go on.
Classic communism: elites lit up, the people left in the dark. Hypocrisy on full display.
