The market can't solve the home affordability crisis, but the state can, says the predictable right-wing these days. The state is responsible for easily HALF of home prices right now, and instead of even looking into that, the right wants another federal program.

My parents grew up in communist Romania and told me stories of breadlines and suffering under that political system. I saw it first hand when I visited Romania at 10 years old. I tried to tell a joke about Ceasescu in a restaurant and my motherโ€™s friends covered my mouth as I

Howard Lutnick I don't like this direction the federal government is going here. There has to be a complete separation between capitalism and the state, similar to the separation of church and state. Privatized profits and socialized losses? I've seen how this story ends....

I just did a segment for the BBC where, once again, it seems that the UK is just in complete denial of how much of a free speech crisis they are actually in. Since they were dubious of the data point that more than 10,000 Britons have been arrested every year for offense speech

No, the marketplace of ideas has not failed because Charlie was murdered. Preemptively deciding what people can think or say is the very tyranny we've been fighting against this whole time. We stand for freedom โ€” not the freedom to be violent, but the freedom to be wrong.

โ€œHow do you stop the Left? Free expression isnโ€™t working. And they put us in prison for our speech!โ€ NOT coercion and cancel mobs. Because (1) itโ€™s wrong (2) when it โ€œworks,โ€ it hasnโ€™t won you anything, because the point hasnโ€™t been made, and their ideas havenโ€™t been

The answer to speech you don't like is more speech, not censorship. This is a principle, not a preference or platitude. It doesn't change when power shifts, or when emotions run high.

KH Thomas Massie Eric Daugherty That's what they said 12 months ago. Then did another 2 rounds of short CRs, then pushed the "Big Beautiful Bill", which was a CR in all but name, because it was STILL the 2024 Biden budget. Now we're looking at the 2026 budget, and the GOP is selling the last year of Biden's

The Tenth Amendment matters because if the Constitution doesnโ€™t give a specific power to the federal government, then that power doesnโ€™t belong to them. It belongs to the states... or better yet, to the people directly. That means things like education, healthcare, agriculture,

Government shutdowns never last all that long. If they did, people would very quickly realize 2 things: 1. The whole government's not really shut down, just some parts. 2. Things are going fine without those parts.

Letโ€™s try this one more time: The Constitution does not limit the people of the U.S. or those of other nations. Itโ€™s a document that LIMITS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. When I say extrajudicial killings isnโ€™t allowed in the Constitution, and you tell me that foreigners donโ€™t

Hereโ€™s my solution to the shutdown. Pass 12 separate bills. I made this video in 2018 when Schumer did the same thing heโ€™s doing this week. Itโ€™s really worth a watch, because some things never changeโ€ฆ. Wellโ€ฆ the color of my hair changed but thatโ€™s about it!

"No enemies to the right" isn't a strategy for beating the left; it's a strategy for letting bad actors with bad ideas gain control of the movement unopposed. The left is in retreat right now precisely because they gave the reins to their radicals. You'd have to be insane to copy

Oh, genius โ€œLibertariansโ€ anointing Trump their liberty god! A false idol of unchecked authority, endless emergency decrees, and daily cronyism. Now the โ€œLibertarian POTUSโ€ is on a crusade against the Houseโ€™s truest libertarian for the crime of being too libertarian.

Thomas Massie is a bright light of goodness in the dark, dismal wasteland that is Washington D.C. There is not a single person on this planet that can convince me that he is not a great man working for the people. One of the only ones.
