My home city, New York, is likely to elect a socialist Mayor Tuesday. I don’t usually report on local politics, but I make an exception for Zohran Mamdani… because people believe his socialist dreams. Yet what he is promising to do is so STUPID. Here's why:

Charlie Kirk is a great man and a great fighter for the cause. Most importantly he’s a husband and a father. I’m praying for him and his family right now. Please do the same.

The market is under a lot of pressure this morning from the #tariff retaliation from #China. #Tradewars have officially begun. Be careful making any #panic related decisions for two reasons. 1) The #market is deeply oversold 2) This is an #event-#driven selloff. Any change to policy will immediately lead to a sharp #rally.

I watched the entire press conference with Zelensky. There was 40 minutes of discussion up to the argument. Most people saw at most the last ten minutes. The whole video gives the proper context. When I first watched the argument without the proper context, I thought it was possible that Trump and Vance ambushed Zelensky or were even trying to humiliate him. That's not what happened. You had 40 minutes of calm conversation. Vance made a point that didn't attack Zelensky and wasn't even addressed to him, and Zelensky clearly started the argument. In the first 40 minutes, Zelensky kept trying to go beyond what was negotiated in the deal. When Trump was asked a question, it was always "we'll see." Zelensky made blanket assertions that there would be no negotiating with Putin, and that Russia would pay for the war. When Trump said that it was a tragedy that people on both sides were dying, Zelensky interjected that the Russians were the invaders. For his part, Trump made clear that the US would continue delivering military aid. All Zelensky had to do was remain calm for a few more minutes and they would've signed a deal. The argument started when Trump pointed out that it would be hard to make a deal if you talk about Putin the way Zelensky does. Vance interjects to make the reasonable point that Biden called Putin names and that didn't get us anywhere. The Zelensky/Trump dynamic was calm and stable. It was when Vance spoke that Zelensky started to interrogate him. Throughout the press conference to that point, everyone was making their arguments directly to the audience. Zelensky decided to challenge Vance and ask him hostile questions. He went back to his point that Putin never sticks to ceasefires, once again implying that negotiations are pointless. Why on earth would you do this? Then came the fight we all saw. Zelensky was minutes away from being home free, and he would have had the deal and new commitments from the Trump administration. The point Vance made was directed against Biden and the media, taking them to task for speaking in moralistic terms. This offended Zelensky, and that began the argument. I've been a fan of Zelensky up to this point, but this showed so much incompetence, if not emotional instability, that I don't see how he recovers from this. The relationship with the administration is broken. Ukraine should probably go with new leadership at this point.

Our hearts break as four hostages murdered by Hamas return to Israel: Oded Lifshitz, Shiri Bibas, and her two young sons, Kfir and Ariel. It is beyond comprehension that anyone could take the lives of these innocent people—a peace activist, and a young mother and her babies. This is pure evil. America stands with Israel in its fight to eliminate Hamas.

BREAKING: DOGE is looking into federal workers who have a high net worth despite having a low salary, according to Elon Musk. 🔥🔥 "We find it sort of rather odd that there are quite a few people in the bureaucracy who who have a salary of a few hundred thousand dollars, but somehow manage to accrue tens of millions of dollars in net worth." "We're just curious as to where it came from..."

Everyone should be in favor of transparent, efficient government. Seems obvious.

So @SenWarren is fear mongering and seeming to try to manipulate people into thinking Elon is doing things he is not. They need to fear monger, scare you and get you wrapped up in your emotions to manipulate you into doing what they want. This video is gross.

Wise words

Pure fire from new acting director of USAID Marco Rubio: "Every dollar we spend will be aligned with the national interest of the United States. USAID has a history of ignoring that and deciding that they're a global charity. These are not donor dollars, these are taxpayer dollars. We owe the American people assurances that every dollar we are spending abroad is being spent on something that furthers our national interest."

Mexico and China have been taking advantage of the United States for decades. Finally, we have a president in Donald Trump who is ready to look out for American citizens and impose some consequences to show these countries that we're not going to be taken advantage of.

@DOGE is on the warpath.
