Chip Roy is a proven conservative, a highly skilled lawyer, and a perfect fit for the office of Texas Attorney General. Don’t take chances with Mayes Middleton, who possesses none of those qualities. Vote for Chip Roy on Tuesday.

Eli Lilly released retatrutide Phase 3 data yesterday. 28% weight loss in 80 weeks. The most powerful obesity drug that’s ever been tested. And today the cancer signal drops. 12,112 patients. Seven tumor types. GLP-1 users had half the lung cancer metastasis rate (10% vs 22%). Breast cancer: 43% cut. Colon cancer five-year mortality in a separate study: 15.5% vs 37.1%. Cancer joins a list that already includes heart disease (SELECT, 20% MACE reduction), kidney failure (FLOW, 24% slower decline), sleep apnea (SURMOUNT-OSA, FDA-approved), addiction (BMJ, 600K veterans, 18-25% reduction across substances), and liver disease (86% fat clearance). Tumors express GLP-1 receptors. Activate them and NF-kB drops, apoptosis rises. The drug isn’t just shrinking fat. It’s talking directly to the cancer. One drug class. Designed for blood sugar. The biology keeps finding uses the designers didn’t predict.

I asked Thune if the Trump administration owns this delay, given the timing of the weaponization fund rollout. “The timing obviously is something we had no control over. So it's — they need to help with this issue, because we have a lot of members who are concerned”

GOP Senator Thom Tillis on Trump’s proposed “Anti-Weaponization” fund: “I think it’s stupid on stilts. When you take money from me to give to a purpose I vehemently disagree with, that’s tyranny.”

Leftist Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who is a Florida Congresswoman, just watched Governor Ron DeSantis ERASE her District. With the new Florida Congressional District map, her seat is GONE. She will NOT be re-elected. Oh, happy day.

🚨 This afternoon, a former managing assistant U.S. Attorney who supported Jack Smith’s politicized investigation of President Trump has been charged with stealing the confidential investigation documents. Carmen Lineberger allegedly emailed the confidential material to her own personal email, disguising them as dessert recipes to conceal them from record searches. Lineberger is charged with four felony counts in the indictment. This FBI will not hesitate to bring to account those who violated the trust of the American public in an investigation that should’ve never been brought to begin with.

The lesson from this mass crash out is quite simple. Do not pander to Libertarians, ever. These people cannot be satiated in any way and there is no point in ever trying to court them. The moment you do, they begin to act like they own you. They have no sense of courtesy, no sense of loyalty, and regularly treat their own “allies” worse than they do their stated enemies. These people will genuinely take someone who agrees with them 80% of the time, and abuse them to no end even as they lavish praise upon someone who agrees with them just 20% of the time. It is preferable to simply be their enemy right from the start than it is to try and win them over. Don’t give these people the option to be on your side. Force them to become Democrats like they’ve always wanted to be. They’ll destroy the Dems from within anyway because Libertarianism is an inherently anti-political ideology that has no idea how to seize power and wield it. There are some with a libertarian-ish mindset who genuinely hate Progressive managerialism, central banking, and the Federal administrative state. These people are friends, not enemies. The problem isn’t with each and every person who may call themselves a “libertarian” or a “liberty-minded conservative”. The problem is with Libertarianism as a governing philosophy. It is useful as an acid and little more. Libertarianism can dissolve power, but it cannot build a lasting political order. We are entering an age where order must be reestablished. And this makes Libertarianism not only incompatible with the Right, but actually antagonistic.
