If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

Who actually pays for this trade war? American consumers. CEI's Ryan Young breaks down the economic fallout of Canada's new tariffs: bit.ly/46hA0I2

Bad guys often agree with your politics.
We need more people voting in primaries who think a person’s qualifications to hold a position of public trust include more than angry vitriol directed at our political opponents.
Character matters. Vote like it.

Dear Mr. President had an excellent showing at Lake Erie College in Ohio. 40 guests were invited into the room where James Garfield celebrated his last birthday. The screening was hosted by the Garfield Trail and Garfield's 2nd great grandson. Join CEI at the Eaton Cinema at 6pm, July 2nd, to celebrate America's 250th birthday with this incredible film. bit.ly/4eIP8SF

Your share of the federal regulatory burden: $15,859 a year. It never appears on your tax return.

You’ll find him on podcasts and in pulpits, but everything he does is for social media. He’s the man who has confused being provocative with being profound, who mistakes the ability to offend for the courage to lead.
He is the edgelord.

Will vote for any presidential candidate who promises to deliver the State of the Union only in writing.

Low taxes. Limited government. Light regulation. Rule of law. Pro life and family values. Legal originalism. Strong military allied with Western and other liberal democracies. Trade.
This I believe. – at Arlington, VA

Imagine arguing with a straight face that Congress seriously intended to give the president the power to impose "emergency" tariffs on imports from US treaty allies so he could forcibly acquire the territory of one of those allies.
It's just ridiculous. But here we are.

I think one of the hardest things to deal with as you get older is discovering that so many of the people you met along the way never really believed the things they claimed to believe.

Saying utility bills “aren’t because of the state” ignores what’s literally printed on the bill.
BGE collects state-mandated surcharges, environmental program fees, and government-approved charges that function like taxes — all authorized by Maryland regulators and lawmakers.
When the state mandates programs, approves rate structures, and adds surcharges, it owns the cost. Blaming utilities for carrying out state policy doesn’t make bills cheaper — it just dodges accountability.

Your friendly annual reminder not to let the person who makes your worship slides edit the lyric
“Hail the Sun of Righteousness”

to
“Hail the Son of Righteousness.”

The new @netflix series Death by Lightning leaves out a crucial figure: Julia Sand, the woman whose 23 letters pushed President Chester Arthur to reject corruption and embrace reform. Her courage helped change American history. Let’s make sure her story isn’t erased. @Destry_Edwards @DailySignal cei.org/opeds_articles/the-w…

WATCH: @ceidotorg's award-winning documentary Dear Mr. President: The Letters of Julia Sand by @Destry_Edwards. Learn how President Chester Arthur, who assumed office after the assassination of Pres. James Garfield, put aside his life working for the NY political machine to support civil service reform.

1881 presidency handoff wasn’t just dramatic, it was unbelievable. Netflix’s Death by Lightning captures the chaos, but mixes in plenty of myths. CEI is spotlighting what really happened when Chester Arthur inherited the Oval Office after Garfield’s assassination.@Destry_Edwards cei.org/opeds_articles/death…

If you insert enough socialism in capitalism but keep calling it capitalism, people get fed up with the problems socialism causes but blame capitalism and then turn socialist.
Peter Thiel: If you graduated in 1970 with no student debt, compare that to the millennial experience: too many people go to college, they don’t learn anything, and they end up with incredibly burdensome debt. Student debt is a version of this generational conflict that I’ve talked about for a long time.
The rupture of the generational compact isn’t limited to student debt, either. I think you can reduce 80 percent of culture wars to questions of economics—like a libertarian or a Marxist would—and then you can reduce maybe 80 percent of economic questions to questions of real estate.
It’s extremely difficult these days for young people to become homeowners. If you have extremely strict zoning laws and restrictions on building more housing, it’s good for the boomers, whose properties keep going up in value, and terrible for the millennials. If you proletarianize the young people, you shouldn’t be surprised if they eventually become communist.”
