Week of May 18, 1776: **Outside Montreal, the Continental Army's campaign in Quebec continues to unravel, but Arnold plans a counterattack. **In Philadelphia, Jefferson moves into a new house on Market Street, where, in a mere 20 days, he will begin authoring the Declaration.

Today, the task force and the DOJ announced a massive take down of two of the largest Medicaid fraud cases in Minnesota state history, as well as the largest autism fraud scheme ever charged by the federal government. Our message is simple: if you’re committing fraud, we will find you, and we won’t rest until justice is served.

Taiwan said on Thursday President Lai Ching-te would be happy to speak with U.S. President Donald Trump, in what would be an unprecedented conversation between the leader of the world's biggest economy and the island claimed by China. reuters.com/world/china/ta…

NEW AD: I'm honored to have President Trump's complete and total endorsement. I will never stop fighting for his America First agenda and the people of Texas!

This is an extraordinary accomplishment by @POTUS. But it must be the first of two steps. Next: Ensure these savings are passed on with reduced premiums for the 40% of Americans in private plans and the public and private costs for the 50% in Medicare and Medicaid programs.

Judicial Watch SUES for Covid Truth! @TomFitton

@JackPosobiec Many of the institutions responsible for representing and communicating the brilliance and boldness of our founding fathers are now run by some of their leading critics. The foundation that now manages Monticello, for instance, is one of the leaders in criticism of Jefferson.

My parents were at the 1976 Bicentennial at Valley Forge and have told me my whole life how big of a deal it was Tons of people came, covered wagons that ACTUALLY traveled from every state with parades 250th doesn't feel as big. It was a different country

@JackPosobiec I was in sixth grade at Jefferson Elementary School in Emmaus, Pennsylvania, where it was decided that we would put on a big play at the end of the year to commemorate the Bicentennial. We practiced daily for months. Celebrating our nation back then came naturally to all.

What do you remember about the 1976 Bicentennial?

My latest article for Global Voices examines how China’s new “state secrets” regulation in the Uyghur region expands information control, surveillance, and social monitoring. The piece also explores its impact on human rights discussions. globalvoices.org/2026/05/18/hum…

Two hundred and fifty years ago today — on May 17th, 1776 — the Second Continental Congress called for a day of humiliation, fasting, and prayer. Today, exactly 250 years later, we gather to do the same. To humbly ask once more for God's mercy and guidance — as we enter the next 250 years of this republic.

WATCH: Vice President JD Vance's Rededicate 250 message: “I always ask people to pray for wisdom and for courage for their leadership. Pray for wisdom that we know the path God wants us to walk. Pray for courage that we have the ability to walk that path.”

Thousands of Americans are gathering on the National Mall TODAY for a powerful day of prayer, praise, and patriotism as we chart the course for America’s next 250 years and rededicate ourselves to ONE NATION UNDER GOD. 🇺🇸🙏 ALL DAY. WATCH HERE ➡️ youtube.com/live/BG5ivxgzp…

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” (John 3:16-19)

Weak demand for 30-year treasuries this week must be a call to action, but raising rates is not the solution. Three better ideas: 1. Step up @DOGE efforts to cut wasteful spending and deficit; 2. Deregulate energy to combat inflation: and 3. Issue shorter-term maturities.

CIA scientists repeatedly concluded that COVID-19 most likely leaked from a Chinese lab -- and were pushed to revise those findings until the conclusion disappeared, a whistleblower told Congress Wednesday. trib.al/RvKcXut
