St. Louis used to be one of America’s greatest cities. Now it has a rare opportunity to restore public order and competitiveness. Its next chapter depends on whether leaders can turn momentum into execution. My latest in @CityJournal👇city-journal.org/article/st-lou…

After a tumultuous decade marked by civic unrest, violent crime, and economic decline, St. Louis may be eyeing a resurgence. History suggests that the city has a genuine opportunity now. Yet serious obstacles remain. #moleg #mogov #Missouri #Citizens4STL

A master-class attempt at gaslighting readers (10/10 for the authors).

WATCHDOG TARGETS WASHU: America First Legal files 165-page complaint with DOJ alleging Washington University violated civil rights law through race-based DEI programs while receiving $3.1B in federal funding since 2021. foxnews.com/politics/watch…

Last week, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Nearly one in eight women in the United States will face this diagnosis. Every day, these women continue to raise their families, go to work, and serve their communities with strength and determination. I now join their ranks. I am grateful to have an outstanding team of doctors who detected the cancer early and are guiding my care, and I am encouraged by a very good prognosis. I am also deeply thankful for the support and encouragement of President Trump as I undergo treatment and continue serving in my role as White House Chief of Staff.

Well, one American tradition still holds: When Bill Clinton has to give testimony, we bomb somebody.

A reminder that a vast majority of the millions who crossed the border illegally during the Biden administration were lining the pockets of cartels like CJNG, paying thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of $ per head to be smuggled into the Unites States. Color coded cartel wristbands littered major crossing areas, as cartels organized their human cargo by indicating who had already paid them. A 3+ year free for all - with the cartels earning billions, easily attracting customers with the promise that the US government would release them into the country if they paid the cartels to get them across, and that’s exactly what the Biden administration did in the majority cases with mass catch & release policies. And this doesn’t account for the cartels’ drug smuggling revenue.

We have our 8th Circuit nominee! My friend @JustinSmithMO, former Chief of staff to @SenEricSchmitt, has spent his entire legal career in the trenches fighting for conservative causes. Another great nomination from @realDonaldTrump. trumpstruth.org/statuses/36812

The President encourages any American across the country with any knowledge of this suspect to please call the FBI who continue to assist state and local authorities. The prayers of the entire White House are with the Guthrie family. 🙏

I never celebrate people getting laid off, but it’s telling that the Washington Post is firing a third of its staff while the New York Post is launching a new California edition. It turns out that telling the truth pays off.

Some may see Minnesota as a cautionary tale. It is, but it’s also more than that. It is evidence of what happens when high-trust societies encounter low-trust systems and fail to recognize the asymmetry between them. americanmind.org/salvo/minnesot…

Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish. Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable. Despite tensions in Minneapolis, exploiting the Holocaust is deeply offensive, especially as antisemitism surges.

In Minneapolis, these rioters attacked our law enforcement officer and one of them bit off our HSI officer’s finger. He will lose his finger.

The penguin does not concern himself with the opinions of those who cannot comprehend.

I am honored to be appointed Assistant Secretary of State for Global Public Affairs by President Trump, in addition to my role leading communications for the National Security Council at the White House. Secretary Rubio is the most consequential Secretary of State in American history, and under his leadership, the U.S. State Department will continue restoring global respect for America, delivering peace through strength, and putting America First. state.gov/releases/offic…
