Home of the Brave

Fmr FBI Agent Michael Feinberg: "If people of integrity and values don't serve in government, then people without integrity and values will. I didn't view staying as a choice. It was something I had to do…Until Dan Bongino functionally told me my career was over."

Sen. Slotkin: "I have fundamental problems with Bill Pulte becoming the Acting Director of National Intelligence…He's shown not only an interest, but a willingness to use his job to manipulate information, to do the bidding of Donald Trump, to weaponize the government against people."

Sen. Elissa Slotkin: "Before the war, I would say the only cost in a family's life that had gone down under President Trump had been gas prices. Not housing, not healthcare, not groceries…Now every single American is paying the price of his war."

Fmr FBI Agent Michael Feinberg: "[Kash Patel] came in with a wrecking ball from day one…It's not an exaggeration to say we lost collectively centuries of experience. They fired people because they had been appointed by Chris Wray, or because their promotions had occurred under Biden."

Sarah Matthews: "Americans are so fed up with our politics because of the hypocrisy. Both sides are guilty of making excuses for bad behavior from candidates… We want our children to look up to our president, to look up to our senators, our congressmen, our congresswomen."

Sarah Matthews on Bill Pulte's DNI appointment: "He has one qualification, which is blind loyalty. That's exactly what Trump wants in that role.  He doesn't care about national security credentials… He wants someone in that role to go after his perceived political enemies."

Sarah Matthews on Kailtin Collins: "She's the best at what she does, and I think that's why you see Trump go after her more ferociously than any other reporter in that room. It is disgusting to watch him tell a woman that she needs to smile while doing her job."

Sarah Matthews: " Trump has been out there saying that Iran cannot get a nuclear weapon…But just [yesterday], the International Atomic Energy Agency said that the risk of Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon is much higher than it was before the war."

Joe Rogan on Greg Bovino, former CBP head: " He wore outfits that were like, reminiscent of Nazi Germany. He had very weird coat that he would wear all the time… A very odd wardrobe choice for someone who's in charge of, in many ways, othering human beings."

Joe Rogan on ICE: "What bothers me is we're opening the door for militarized police on our city streets… that has no identification. That's a precedent. You might like it when it's for a cause that you support, but that could easily be for a cause that you do not support."

Back in March, the Trump administration repeatedly assured the public that the war with Iran would take "four to six weeks." NINE WEEKS later, the President floats the idea that the blockade could continue through Labor Day.

Rep. James Walkinshaw: "This Department of Justice, led by Trump's former personal lawyer, says that there's one family in the country that never has to worry about an audit if they lie or cheat on their taxes — That's the Trump family."

Rep. Walkinshaw: "ICE violated hundreds of court orders. It's not liberal judges saying that, it's Republican judges saying time and time again that they violated the law and court orders. It's outrageous and unacceptable. Secretary Mullins should be ashamed of himself."

Rep. Walkinshaw: "During the shutdown in 2025, Sec. Noem bought two top of the line G700 Gulfstream jets…[Sec. Mullins] regularly uses the G700 with the leather seats to fly home to Oklahoma after he's finished a tough work week working Monday through Thursday."

Rep. Walkinshaw on DHS Secretary Mullins: "I think his inexperience is shining through. This is someone who never ran a large organization and had no experience with respect to the Department of Homeland Security before President Trump gave him this job."

Megyn Kelly: "Nobody knows what the hell we're doing in Cuba because Trump hasn't told us…Our troops could 'take Cuba' I think pretty easily, but then what?…Is this gonna be a new state? Like, we run it? 'Cause right now we can't seem to run our own country."

Megyn Kelly: "Trump's circle and the ones who are his campaign surrogates absolutely made a huge deal of the Epstein files. Trump got in there and acted like he'd never heard of this before… My best guess is it's his friends. It's his donors."

Sen. Chris Murphy: "$6 a gallon at the pump and the president seems to be spending all of his time enriching himself. His corruption is more difficult to avoid these days because it's happening at a time when people are getting screwed out there in the economy."

Sen. Chris Murphy on the 'weaponization' slush fund: "The President of the United States cannot dip his mitts into the treasury and scoop out $1.8 billion to give to police-beaters, his buddies, or his family."

Barbara Comstock: "These unilateral actions that the Trump administration is taking — in so many cases over, and over, and over because Congress is not involved — the courts are rejecting these actions, even judges that are appointed by Donald Trump."

Barbara Comstock: "We've got $5 gas. We've got people who are concerned about affordability. When you have all these issues that we need to address for the American people, we need Congress — If you want these issues considered, let's reinvigorate the Article 1 branch."

Barbara Comstock on the weaponization slush fund: "If you wanted to have a fund like this, you should go to Congress….That applies to so many of these executive orders or attempts by this administration to just do things unilaterally."

Joe Rogan: "I  had Scott Horton on the podcast explaining what is actually involved in making depleted uranium and making it weapons grade, and what would have to be done to get it to a bomb-level. It's very difficult...And [Iran wasn't] nearly capable of doing that yet."

Joe Rogan: "I don't like the Iran war thing…I don't necessarily know there's a clear way to get out this. You know what we did in Afghanistan for 20 years and how much American taxpayer dollars went to that and how many people lost their lives."

Rep. Robert Garcia: "Pam Bondi is no longer the AG, but certainly she was at the center of an enormous amount of weaponization and corruption at the Department of Justice…The weaponization of the Department of Justice has been unprecedented."

Rep. Robert Garcia: "It is a shame that Pam Bondi refused to meet with the survivors. It's a shame that the current Acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche, has done everything to try to hide and essentially evade our questions. He's also not met with the survivors."

Rep. Garcia: "This is an opportunity for [Bondi] to be honest, come clean, and give us the facts so that we can understand why there has been this consistent cover-up. Why did the president call this investigation a hoax? Why did she try to bury and stop this investigation?"

Rep. Robert Garcia: "Pam Bondi has a lot to answer for. Why are only 50% of the files released? Why were the names of survivors, as we know, doxxed and [they were] put in danger?…We're looking forward to the interview, but it needs to be released to the public."

U. Michigan Economist Justin Wolfers: "If you look over the last six months as a whole, the economy has barely grown at a rate of 1%…If I brought that report card home to my mom, she would give me a very disappointed look."

U. Michigan Economist Justin Wolfers: "If what you want is rate cuts, you don't go and bomb a country in the Middle East, upsetting global energy markets and pushing prices up across the board…If you expected rate cuts this year, relief on the mortgage or car loan, that's gone."

Trump in 2024: "I'd like to begin by asking you a simple question. Are you better off now than you were four years ago? With your vote tomorrow, I will end inflation." Today's PCE Price Index shows that inflation has climbed to its highest level since 2023 under Trump.

Former AG Pam Bondi is set to appear before the House Oversight committee this Friday to answer for her mishandling of the Epstein Files.

The Justice Department just opened an investigation into E. Jean Carroll. It’s the latest example of the department being weaponized to exact retribution on Trump’s foes.

Trump promised to lower costs on Day One. Instead, CNN's latest polling shows Americans cutting groceries, skipping medical treatment, and taking on second jobs just to get by. This is Trump's economy.

Sen. Murphy: "There are a lot of citizen groups that badly need money…We should be putting less of our money into official party structures, at least right now, when the democracy seems at risk. It's citizens, not politicians, who have the most legitimacy in fighting back."

Sen. Chris Murphy: "It's kind of inappropriate for anybody to be working on their own political agenda right now…I've been putting [money] out to support citizen-led groups…That should be what we work on right now, is saving our democracy and supporting citizens."

Rep. Moulton: "Candidly, we don't have a lot of leverage. But what we should do is, first of all, start by putting professional negotiators in charge — not Trump's real estate buddies…The second thing is [Trump's] got to show that the U.S. can actually be a reliable partner."

Rep. Seth Moulton: "On February 23rd, the strait was open, oil was at $66 a barrel. Inflation was at 2.4%. Now, thanks to the war, thousands of people are dead. Oil is over $100 a barrel. Inflation is up…At this point, we're losing the war. We got to cut our losses and go home."

Rep. Seth Moulton: "How can [Iran's] military be gone when we're conducting strikes against them in self-defense? The Trump administration is clearly out of touch with reality here, starting with the president at the top of the heap."

Trump's Board of Peace has yet to receive any funds for Gaza's reconstruction since its establishment four months ago. Another example of Trump's grandstanding and it goes to show how little he cares about following through on his promises.

Donald Trump: "Oman will behave just like everybody else, or we'll have to blow them up." The "no more foreign wars" president just threatened to attack yet another country.

Donald Trump: "The Secretary of War Pete Hegseth…He loves war." American troops and their families deserve a Defense Secretary that works to prevent war, not one who relishes in it.

Sen. Van Hollen: "Right now, this war is costing us dearly. Higher prices in terms of gas and groceries. Interest rates are up. Consumer confidence is down."

Sen. Van Hollen: "This [war] has been a huge blunder from the very start…When you're digging a hole, you should just stop digging. This has already cost us 14 American lives. It's cost hundreds more wounded. Thousands of civilians in the region killed. And look where we are."

SC Republican State Sen. Tom Davis: "You can't properly redistrict in 19 days. You can't outsource your constitutional obligation to a consultant in Washington, D.C. The objective was stillborn from the start. It's not a difficult thing to see this is unconstitutional."

Rep. Smith: "Trump dragged us into this war with no idea where it was going…We've seen the cost. 14 service members killed, hundreds wounded, thousands of civilians killed. The global economy is in chaos. Gas prices are off the charts. Iran is as hardline as they've ever been."

HHS Secretary RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz play with snakes amid Ebola and Hantavirus outbreaks. This is what Trump's health team prioritizes — weird stunts over saving lives.

Trump continues his vanity projects as construction begins on a UFC octagon on the White House lawn. Meanwhile, Americans are struggling with soaring grocery bills, high gas prices, and the war in Iran.

National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett just proved how out of touch the Trump administration is!

Trump's DOJ just removed press releases on the arrests of January 6th rioters, calling them "partisan propaganda."

U.S. Army veteran Jon Gundersen: "Going into Iran in a war of choice is not a way of honoring veterans. Cutting back on the VA is not a way of honoring veterans…Know their sacrifice. They're not a part of a big game plan for your own ego."

U.S. Army veteran Jon Gundersen on Trump's Arc: "It's a little ironic that somebody who avoided service with daddy's rich help talks about honoring veterans. If you honor veterans, you do it the right way…It's got to go through the congress."

U.S. Army veteran Jon Gundersen on Trump's Arc: "This is not a monument to veterans. This is a monument to the ego of one man…It's disrespectful for veterans. It's not the way to honor veterans. So we decided to do a lawsuit."

Sen. Warner on the war in Iran: "I don't think any of the president's objectives when he started this war of choice are going to be met…But however we can end this, I don't know how we come out in a better situation than we were before this war started."

Fmr. GOP Communications Dir. Tara Setmayer on redistricting: "It's absolutely about taking this country back to reconstruction, pre-civil rights, and voting rights days…Don't try to BS the American people into believing that this is not about disenfranchising people of color."

Rep. Menendez on DHS Secretary Mullin: "I would be happy to walk inside with him and introduce him to all these people who have contributed to our communities, who are good people and should have their dignity preserved, something this administration is not doing."

Rep. Menendez: "It's important to tell their stories, like an 18 year-old from New Jersey who's missing her high school graduation because she's inside Delaney hall. She's missing her brother's eighth birthday this week because she's inside Delaney Hall."

Rep. Menendez on Delaney Hall detainees: "These are individuals who have no criminal records. These are mothers, fathers, people who are married to U.S. Citizens, people who have U.S. Citizen children…These are not the people that Trump talked about in 2024."

Rep. Menendez on Delaney Hall ICE facility: "The conditions continue to plague this facility, whether it's the health care treatment of individuals in there, whether it's the food that they're eating, the lack of ventilation…It all continues to be an issue."

Trump said over the weekend the US was close to a deal to end his war in Iran — but US strikes on Iranian boats and military installations are pushing the tenuous ceasefire to its limits.

Trump claims that gas prices will "drop like a rock" once his war of choice in Iran is over. Turns out, that's a lie. CNN Business senior reporter David Goldman breaks down why it could take up to SIX YEARS for gas prices to fall back below $3 a gallon.

Trump’s Memorial Day post is getting backlash from critics who say he has a long history of disrespecting the military.

Instead of focusing on lowering costs for Americans, Donald Trump is posting bizarre AI videos throwing Stephen Colbert into a dumpster — and dancing while families keep paying more for gas, groceries, and everyday essentials.

The Trump White House is reportedly requiring employees to download an app filled with pro-Trump propaganda — raising major ethics and cybersecurity concerns inside the federal government.

Days before Memorial Day, Trump waved off the 13 Americans lost in his war of choice with Iran—"somebody else would have lost 100,000 people"—reducing 13 grieving families to a talking point.

.@thomasjoscelyn: "This is incredible corruption. This is him saying, 'I'm going to take money out of the government's coffers — taxpayer funds — and use it to pay whoever I want.'"

New NYT reporting shows Iran and Oman are in talks to charge ships for passage through the Strait of Hormuz—suggesting U.S.-Iran negotiations are nowhere near conclusion despite what the White House has claimed.

.@thomasjoscelyn: "This is the single most corrupt politician in the history of America... This makes Aaron Burr's corruption look like an ant mound. This is the Himalayan mountain range of corruption."

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins just blamed high beef prices on the MAHA movement—ignoring the administration's own tariffs on agriculture products driving costs up—as the White House lies its way through another failure.

.@thomasjoscelyn: "If they're going to pay people from January 6th out of this fund, it's saying, 'Yeah, you're right. It was patriotism that you attacked the Capitol.' It's a complete Orwellian, authoritarian reversal of reality."

Senate GOP just stripped $1 billion for the ballroom out of their bill—even after ground was already broken on the site of a planned military hospital—as the White House stays focused on vanity projects, not lowering costs.

.@BillKristol: "It's not just that he pardoned the J6 insurrectionists. Now he wants to give your taxpayer money to them." .@thomasjoscelyn: "This is the January 6th administration... [Trump is] very proud about it and is defending the people who did that."

.@stephen_richer: "There's this weird situation where election officials are often portrayed by MAGA world as grossly incompetent...But then simultaneously they are these incredibly gifted evil geniuses who know how to manipulate elections in a way that is very hard to uncover."

Trump says AI is creating more jobs than ever—but for the first time since COVID, unemployed Americans outnumber job openings.

Tom Joscelyn: “Now you have an FBI special agent saying 'No, no we really have to investigate this…and we have to seize these ballots.' That is a shift in how the federal government's using power. The threat is not just a Truth Social post but weaponizing the federal government.”

.@stephen_richer: "You talk to almost any election official in the United States, and they say that the claims about the 2020 election being stolen are completely nonsense, because these are the people who have actually administered elections."

.@stephen_richer: "If there are any allegations regarding tabulation switching votes, then you simply do a hand count audit, as many jurisdictions did. Georgia did two full recounts after the 2020 election. This is completely without basis."

Two police officers who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6th are suing Trump to block his $1.8 billion slush fund—money that could end up paying the same insurrectionists they fought that day.

The Trump job market is collapsing. For the first time in three years, there are now more unemployed Americans than there are job openings — reversing a trend that had held steady since the post-COVID recovery. This is what Trump's economy and the war in Iran are doing to workers.

Trump's new BLM director, Steve Pierce, is an oil millionaire who doesn't believe national parks should exist, illegally cut down trees in a federal forest, took millions from oil lobbyists, and said Trump should be president forever three days after Jan 6th. This is who runs America's public lands.

Trump just revealed his White House ballroom will sit on top of a military hospital and research facility — and the ballroom itself will serve as a sniper outpost. He's bragging about "great sniper capacity." This is what the president is focused on instead of bringing down gas and grocery prices.

Tom Joscelyn: "More people have died protesting ICE and its operations by this administration this year than were killed by Antifa. We had two protestors executed in Minneapolis… That's a much bigger act of political violence than any violence wrought by Antifa."

Trump filed nearly 4,000 stock trades in Q1 2026 alone — 59 trades per day, 9 trades per hour, up to $700M in volume. All 535 members of Congress combined traded less than that in all of 2025. In one quarter, Trump out-traded the entire Congress.

Donald Trump just TACO'd again. On Sunday he was threatening to strike Iran. Yesterday on Truth Social, he backed off. This is the pattern — talk a big game, threaten the world, then back down at the last minute. He continues threatening war while gas prices keep climbing.

A top Treasury Department lawyer just resigned over Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund. Brian Morrissey, the department's general counsel, stepped down after the administration announced the "Anti-Weaponization Fund" that will pay taxpayer money to Trump's political allies.

Gas prices are out of control under Trump. Texas is the lowest at $3.99, California is $6.15, the entire West Coast is over $5, Alaska and Hawaii are over $5, and the Northeast and Midwest are in the high $4s. The Iran war negotiations have gone nowhere and Trump is doing nothing about it.

Tom Joscelyn: "This organization, Antifa Ost, was designated in-part because they traveled to Budapest for this Blood and Honor rally and got into street fights with some neo-Nazis… And by the way, were the Nazis designated by the Trump regime? No."

Donald Trump still plans to put his face on U.S. passports—alongside the Declaration of Independence signing and his signature in gold. He's also pushing a $1 coin with his face above and a gold coin in his image. This is what the president is focused on instead of making life better for Americans.

The new NYT/Siena poll shows Americans' views on the economy in freefall — only 4% rate it excellent, 49% rate it poor, with the "poor" line spiking at the start of the war in Iran. Trump's approval is at 37%, the lowest of either of his terms. The war is unpopular and prices keep rising.

Donald Trump's latest Truth Social posts show him commanding a Space Force from orbit, walking alongside a handcuffed alien, and pressing a red button captioned "Target destroyed." This is what the president is doing as Americans pay more for gas and groceries and suffer through the war in Iran.

Trump just dropped his $10 billion IRS lawsuit in exchange for a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded "Anti-Weaponization Fund" that will pay out to people who claim they were targeted by Biden — including potentially Jan. 6 defendants. This is taxpayer money funding the president's political allies.

Tova Noel, the corrections officer who told investigators she was likely the last person to see Jeffrey Epstein alive, is testifying before the House Oversight Committee today in a closed-door deposition. Lawmakers want to know why Epstein was left unmonitored that night.

A new New York Times/Siena poll shows Donald Trump hitting the lowest approval rating of either of his two terms — 37% approval, 31 points underwater on the economy, and 42 points underwater on the cost of living. Critics say Trump has done nothing to lower costs for everyday Americans.

New financial disclosures show Donald Trump making massive stock trades involving companies like Palantir, Dell, and Microsoft. Critics say Trump seems more focused on playing the stock market than lowering costs for everyday Americans.

New reports reveal Kash Patel used an FBI jet for a luxury concert trip while questions grow about who paid for the private flights and expensive suite. Americans deserve answers about whether taxpayer money is funding Patel’s VIP lifestyle.

Tom Joscelyn on Seb Gorka: " The counterterrorism strategy he just put out says that if you call the US government fascists, then you may be part of some sort of threatening movement that is gonna commit political violence. Yet, who was calling the previous administration fascists? He was."

Mike Fanone on Seb Gorka: "A guy that had a show on Patriot XM Radio, who used to rant and rave all the time and then hustle vitamins and chocolate-covered strawberries during the commercial breaks…Now this guy's running the counterterrorism effort here in the United States."
