Hegseth sat before Congress and couldn't acknowledge what this war is costing Americans. When the Secretary of Defense refuses to answer for the price of war, the American people can't make informed judgments. Transparency is the foundation of democracy.

Former Congressman @adamkinzinger.substack.com cuts through the myths and misinformation to reveal what the Second Amendment actually says and means for all Americans. For Democracies to survive, we must operate on facts, and Country First works to shine light on the truth and bring you the facts.

Workers making under $184,500 pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate. Millionaires pay 2.2%. Billionaires like Trump and Musk? 0.0002%. And in six years, retired workers face a 24% cut to their benefits. @murray.senate.gov called it out: this is not a fair system. She's right.

It's been a challenging week for America. Our reminder: true patriotism transcends party lines. It lives in our shared values. If you missed the headlines, here's our weekly roundup.

This week has been anything but quiet. From oil markets potentially being rigged by insiders to vile tweets sent by our sitting president. Take a closer look at what happened.

From Trump's record-breaking longest State of the Union address to the takedown of Mexico's most wanted cartel boss, this week delivered headlines that are hard to ignore. Stay informed and take a closer look at what happened this week.

Trump's economy is booming for his kids, his cabinet, his donors, and his pardoned criminals. The rest of us? Left out in the cold. A president works for ALL Americans. Rigging the game for insiders isn't leadership. It's corruption.

When we hold firmly to our values, this is what choosing country over party looks like. We need more leaders like Chris Madel who are willing to put the American people first, regardless of political pressure or partisan expectations.

Our military serves the country, not political parties. So why are leaders deploying the National Guard for partisan purposes instead of real emergencies? This isn't about safety, it's intimidation. Reveille and Rally keeps politics out of our Armed Forces. reveilleandrally.com

Pete Buttigieg knows exactly what it means to fly into a war zone. You do not put American lives on the line unless you have exhausted every other option. That's not partisan. That's the baseline standard we owe every service member.

Jones drops a bombshell. He confirms Trump is floating the idea of canceling the 2028 elections to illegally stay in power. Marjorie Taylor Greene warns this is a calculated operation to normalize a dictatorship. She states the administration is violating the Constitution. #cdnpoli
