F from the D

HOLY SH*T: Tucker Carlson just said that President Trump has BETRAYED his base. “It’s a betrayal. It’s heartbreaking to see this. It’s so wounding, it hurts.” He then says Trump voters are upset, starting to hate Israel, and in shock. Who agrees?!

It’s going unnoticed because so much other news is happening, but the war drums are beating again in D.C. The warmongers worry this is their last chance to get the white whale they’ve been chasing for thirty years, an all-out regime change war against Iran. A new Middle East war would be a catastrophic mistake. Our military stockpiles are depleted from three years of backing Ukraine. Our effort to reshore manufacturing has only just begun and will take years to bear fruit. War would worsen our already immense deficit and national debt. Iran is larger than Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan combined. A war would not be easy and could easily become a calamity. Thanks to President Trump’s restraint during his first term, America has a golden opportunity to pull away from Middle East quagmires for good. We shouldn’t throw that opportunity away so that sone D.C. has-beens can feel tough by sending young Americans to die yet again.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s 1st interview of 2026, a podcast appearance. Billed as “zero politics.” Can’t speak for all capitol press, but I haven’t been able to ask her a question since August 2025. Recent events have been closed to media or she’s left quickly without speaking to us

The day the LA firestorms ignited, I issued an emergency proclamation to quickly unlock state resources. Over the next 12 months, 28 executive orders followed to target aid, accelerate recovery, and cut red tape. We will continue shaping recovery around real needs.
