Charlie Kirk is dead, tragically murdered by an assassin’s bullet. Now Turning Point USA wants to cement its founder’s legacy by Christianizing America in his name. Read about that threat to democracy in my new book out now: wjkbooks.com/bookproduct/066…

Turning Point’s claim to fame is low propensity voters. It has been highly active in Georgia
One encouraging sign for Democrats in North Carolina and Georgia is that, even as the overall early electorate becomes less Democratic, voters who sat out 2024 remain just as Democratic-leaning. No turnout gains for GOP with low-propensity voters yet.

This new policy is deeply disturbing. Did the editor not see the article beforehand? And you don’t get to see it once everyone else does. The “gap” is cowardly.

ALERT: Veterans ask court for prelim. injunction to halt construction of Trump Monumental Arch, which Admin wants to begin Nov. 5 "Defendants’ plans are unlawful; the threatened harm is imminent; and the public interest leans heavily against allowing defendants to blaze ahead"

Is this guy a long lost son of that guy who was on a New Jersey shore reality show decades ago?
"I just trust President Trump. Everything that he's said, he's always been right about. I believe he'll continue to be right about everything."

Turning Point UK has not responded to the explosive @AJEnglish doc about its link to violent extremism. Instead it had a campus event today:
Turning Point UK outside King’s College London today — trying to debate with students but being drowned out by the socialists with a megaphone screaming that they are not welcome. A petty example of rejecting debate and open dialogue in favour of disruption.

GOP cruising for an electoral bruising by bringing in the Texas bad luck charm

Two years later, DOJ still fighting over whether Trump's blanket pardon for Jan. 6 defendants inadvertently swept in other egregious crimes committed by Jan. 6 defendants. Kelley was convicted by a jury of conspiring to murder his investigators. s3.documentcloud.org/documen…

Whoops! The Kennedy Center's Trump-installed Board quietly revises a key justification for the two-year closure: that a report supposedly found phased renovations would cost $41M more. The Board admits it never read that before voting. buff.ly/a7LEkeV
