When we started this journey in 2015, we had one grandchild. Today, Angie and I are blessed to have eight grandchildren. After 30 years in the Air Force and 10 years in Congress, itโs time to spend my future with the love of my life, our four kids, and our wonderful grandchildren. Thank you, Nebraska!

The US trade war with Canada makes no sense and has recklessly blown up what previously was a mutually beneficial economic connection
'In a wide-ranging interview with The New York Times at its headquarters in Midtown Manhattan on Wednesday, Mr. Carney described in meticulous detail how he was systematically reducing Canadaโs reliance on the United States for key technology โ from space satellites to fighter jets โ in an effort to make his country far less vulnerable to American threats. He outlined a plan to diversify Canadaโs relationships and suppliers'

Such a pleasure and an honor to have this chat with @DonJBacon about what ails the GOP but also about why the place for the Reagan Republican remains fighting for conservative values within the Republican Party.
You won't want to miss this!
@RepDonBacon (@DonJBacon) joins us again to talk about the future of the GOP.

I strongly endorse Jeremy Hosein for Regent. An Alumni of UNL and UNMC, a Student Regent, White House Fellow and a great doctor. Heโs opposed by a very partisan candidate.

โAt the end of the day, Iโm gonna win this election. And then Iโll be the Senator for six years and everybody else can f-off.โ
โI can go and I can be the voice for LGBTQ and immigration and all of these issues. Then I lose the election.โ
New video obtained by Townhall captures Nebraska Senate candidate Dan Osborn explaining what he says he canโt campaign on if he wants to win in November.

The 200,000 Russian priests, monks, and nuns slaughtered by the atheist Soviet regime would like a word.
No one has ever been killed in the name of atheism
Community note
Soviet authorities executed thousands of clergy and destroyed churches in campaigns to impose state atheism and eradicate religion.

Your daily reminder that "anti-Zionism" and antisemitism are one in the same. Disgraceful.
I'm a journalist. And I happen to be Jewish. On Yom Kippur I went to a synagogue service in Toronto and was met by protesters trying to taunt and intimidate me from entering the building. 1/5

Now she can protest Uighur genocide in Beijing
A Chinese grad student at UCLA who has been leading pro Hamas rallies on campus has been arrested. Liu Lijunโs student VISA has been cancelled.
Guess sheโs going back to China. ๐๐ป๐๐ป
Community note
The video shows a May 2024 UCLA protest arrest, not a recent event. No evidence supports claims identifying the woman as Chinese grad student Liu Lijun or that her visa was cancelled; ICE stated it has nothing to support such claims and the person was misidentified.

Itโs an honor and a privilege to accept the endorsement of my friend, Democratic Congressman Jared Golden. While we are from different parties and different states, Jared and I have worked during our time together in the House to find common ground on issues that matter both to us and our constituents. We share a firm belief that whatโs best for the people should come before oneโs party, and that if more members on both sides of the aisle took that approach more often, the country would be better off for it.

In 2024, The Hill quoted Lynne Walz on the Sports and Spaces Act: โItโs discrimination. Itโs a blanket ban on trans kids participating in extracurricular activities.โ
On Saturday, however, Walz claimed that she didnโt recall ever saying those words.

96% of Jews in Poland were murdered by the Nazis. That is genocide.
3% of Gazaโs population, mostly male combatants, died in the war they started. That is not genocide.

If you're @DonJBacon in a D+3 district, and outperformed Trump within your district as an R by roughly 4.2 points in 2024 and got re-elected, you've proved your electoral mettle and appeal beyond your base more than an R that previously represented an R+15 district, no? Facts.
Banks responds:
โDon Bacon has floated himself as a presidential candidate, which is laughable. He's a longtime irrelevant member of the House who has been an outspoken critic of President Trump, and he is so unpopular in his district that he couldn't get reelected. So he's quitting.โ

Just like Rep. Don Bacon, Spencer Cox is an interesting dissenting voice from the worst, unthoughtful impulses of the MAGA right. Some people think they've gone too far from their party, some not enough, but I want to see more of these constructive voices platformed on both sides
"The vast majority of Americans are desperate for something different," says Utah Gov. @SpencerJCox.
"They want something different and they're trying to be better in this space, post less hate, get off their screens, looking for opportunities to connect in their communities. I'm very hopeful that we're headed in a better direction."
