Don’t play with my emotions, Jack.

I mean, if he pulls it off, I’ll say it all boils down to the bag ban and take a victory lap. You can’t stop me! commentary.org/noah-rothman/d…

I’ll never understand how rejecting Trump causes one to embrace Democrats. Criticizing Trump didn’t turn me into a leftist. Some of us have maintained our conservatism this whole time…

There’s a bipartisan path forward on ACA tax credits. Most Republicans are ready to negotiate. We support income caps & reforms to make health care affordable & improve care. Let’s reopen the government so government employees and SNAP recipients don’t pay the price.

The SECDEF’s decision to pull U.S. troops from Romania sends a terrible message to NATO and Ukraine...and a welcome one to Putin. Deterrence matters. Weak signals from this Administration only embolden our adversaries.

I have long thought that institutions ought to change names, when they change character. Otherwise, it’s confusing. Two examples (of many): The Heritage Foundation still calls itself “the Heritage Foundation.” Marco Rubio still calls himself “Marco Rubio.”

Looking forward to this.

And in unrelated news we are absolutely delighted to announce we are opening the new Heritage Foundation Center for American Values in Doha.

The problem is we all saw Tucker grill Ted Cruz. We know he is capable of asking tough questions. He chose to bring on a antisemite denier of the Holocaust, having previously brought on a Hitler apologist, and asked softball questions. There’s a problem.

So instead, Heritage makes clear it opposes the cancelation of . . . Nick Fuentes

Every populist movement collapses when the charismatic leader goes away. The antisemitic fissures are coming as Trump heads to lame duck status. I await the crack up of a movement that would welcome antisemites in as part of a coalition on the right.

. Kevin Roberts is forcing a choice - accept the Groypers and Tucker Carlson or leave Heritage Foundation and GOP. That's an easy choice. Good luck winning a national general election with this platform JD Vance. I hope we have a real primary not an anointment.

Tucker's career has been on a downward trajectory for years. He's basically where O'Reilly was 10 years ago, a typical tail-end media celeb. Why Con, Inc., is grabbing onto that boat anchor as it sinks is beyond me.

As the editor of Policy Review Heritage Foundation before it became an Hoover Institution publication, I have never been so appalled by my former employer as I am today. That includes the day Heritage gave me and Policy Review the boot.

I’ve always admired Bari Weiss for her fearless journalism and founding of The Free Press — but I had no idea she was also this good at cleaning house. 🧹 Go Bari Go!

Teachers unions against literacy 🤷🏻‍♀️. Some good news for students and parents who would like them to read.

The status of Kevin Roberts soul is up to others to speculate about. But he has sold off bits and pieces of Heritage’s integrity that will take the next president or the one after a generation to restore. It’s very sad.

"When the American public was first polled about trans issues, their responses showed a remarkable open-mindedness. But the more they were exposed to trans activism, the more their opinions soured." queermajority.com/essays-all/how…

David Shuster's great Trumpian rewrite of The Raven blueamp.co/p/the-raven-of… "Each decree grew more despotic every dawn more chaotic & the courts once proud & stoic bowed before Trump’s gilded floor Bowed before his wrath & bluster where..law lay bleeding-evermore" #Trump #Taliban

The “intellectual backbone of the conservative movement” is only as strong as the values it defends. Last I checked, “conservatives should feel no obligation” to carry water for antisemites and apologists for America-hating autocrats. But maybe I just don’t know what time it is…
