Campaign 2026

I stand with Secretary Hegseth. Thomas Massie’s impeachment push is nonsense dressed up as constitutional principle. Congress absolutely has a role in decisions of war and peace. But the President is Commander in Chief, and the War Powers Resolution itself places its central obligations on the President. The Secretary of War operates within that chain of command—he does not independently decide when America goes to war. If Congress has a constitutional dispute over presidential war powers, then we should debate that question directly. Turning the Secretary of War’s execution of presidential military policy into a personal impeachment case doesn’t defend the Constitution—it deliberately blurs the very lines of authority the Constitution requires us to understand. The Pentagon’s job is to deter our enemies and, when called upon, fight and win America’s wars. That mission is too important to turn the Department into a proxy battlefield for members of Congress looking to manufacture political spectacle.

Xi and the Chinese Communist Party could not have designed a better psyop campaign to stop American AI data centers than the one critics on the left and right are running themselves. The country that leads in AI will have the global advantage in defense, science, manufacturing, and economic growth for decades to come. America risks regulating itself into poverty and irrelevance if we continue down this path. The debate is being framed as a false choice by critics: halt all development or ignore every risk. We should do neither. Make it easier to build AI data centers. Expand the electric grid. Require developers to pay for the power, water, and infrastructure they need. President Trump is right on this issue, and more leaders in tech and government should have the courage to make the same case instead of caving in to public fear. If America refuses to build the future here, the future will be built somewhere else.

Sunday Wisdom from economist Walter Williams: the road to bad policy is paved with good intentions. If a law makes it harder for low-skilled workers to get their first job, who exactly is it helping? https://t.co/IAwhjP7gj5

Cartels like Jalisco Nueva Generación, or CJNG, are using drones to bomb entire towns. Yes, it has gotten that crazy. Not just for surveillance, smuggling drugs across the border, or assassinating public servants. They are dropping explosives on towns to drive people out and seize territory. CJNG is more like ISIS than the Mafia. They are ruthlessly violent, technologically capable, and willing to terrorize entire populations into submission. The Trump Admin is paying attention. Even the Mexican government is finally paying attention. Congress is too busy arguing about which members will get the most clicks on social media on any given day, instead of considering the dozen or so counter-cartel bills I’ve drafted. Eventually Congress has to get its act together and support the President. Don’t hold your breath.

My favorite personal memory of Senator Lindsey Graham was traveling with him to the Munich Security Conference back in 2019. He was a true leader. He was the biggest voice in every meeting with European allies. He didn’t waste any time with niceties. He had zero patience for bullshit. He even dropped his polite demeanor sometimes and dropped some f bombs! He wanted to hold our allies accountable on behalf of the American people, and he wasn’t performing for any cameras. He was knowledgeable, direct, and well-prepared. He was an excellent mentor, and he will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace Senator.

Latest episode of Hold These Truths with @JeremyDBoreing is a deep dive into the conspiracy theories brain-rotting a shocking number of Americans. The Charlie Kirk assassination theories pushed by grifters like Candace Owens are among the most disgusting examples. Bottom line: Charlie’s murderer was ID’d by his own parents. He confessed. His DNA was on the murder weapon. But facts don’t matter to social media grifters who have no idea what they’re talking about. They just overwhelm their audience with one “what about” claim after another, counting on their audience to confuse the volume of allegations with evidence. It’s a multi-million-dollar attention grift – and it’s easy to see through once you understand their tactics.

It says something profound about America’s character that within hours of a devastating earthquake in a country that has been one of our chief adversaries for decades, we still mobilized a massive search-and-rescue and humanitarian aid operation to help save lives. Praying for the Venezuelan people, the families waiting for answers, and the rescue teams working around the clock.

What’s the difference between a democracy and a republic – and why does the distinction matter? Constitutional law scholar @RandyEBarnett explains it in 90 seconds on the latest Hold These Truths podcast. Perfect ammo for your 4th of July BBQ debates… though I’d recommend avoiding politics and stick to fireworks, burgers, and beer. #america250

Share this with anyone who’s been duped by the 1619 Project’s version of America’s founding. Constitutional law scholar @RandyEBarnett explains why the historical record is far more complicated than the claim that America was founded to preserve slavery: at the time of the founding, America was on the leading edge of the anti-slavery movement, and the prevailing expectation at the time was that slavery was already on a path toward abolition. From the latest Hold These Truths podcast.

One of the more surprising facts about the Founders that came out of my podcast with historian H.W. Brands: Thomas Jefferson argued that laws should effectively expire after each generation and be reconsidered. He believed each generation should govern itself. What do you think?

How these are counted

Each roll call takes the policy area the Library of Congress gave the bill it is about; a vote on an amendment counts under its bill. 468 of the House’s 676 roll calls this Congress have an issue. Left out as procedural (208): votes on House rules and the previous question, motions to recommit or adjourn, quorum calls and the Speaker election. “With the Republican majority” counts every issue vote on which most Republicans voted the same way, Yea or Nay. “Against both parties” = most Republicans and most Democrats voted one way and this member the other. “With the Democratic majority” = a party-line vote (most of each party on opposite sides) on which this member sided with the Democrats. Independents count with the party they caucus with.
