@sconnell1791 @FedSocLawProf @AndrewHull31 @RegentLaw There are really just a few choke points where the federal government has been allowed to ooze out of its containment vessel. Close those, and we’re right back to the limited central government the founders envisioned.

@MichaelKGarrett Whatever. 🙄

Your children will see those posts. Your grandchildren will find them. The internet doesn’t forget. And one day, when the history of this moment is written, when our kids and their kids look back at 2026 the way we look back at the people who stood on the wrong side of every bridge and every march and every moment that mattered, they will know exactly where you stood. They will see who chose Kid Rock over a hemisphere of flags. They will see who called love “disgusting.” And they will carry that knowledge the way all of us carry the knowledge of what our ancestors did when they were tested. I don’t say that with anger. I say it with sadness. Because hate is an inheritance nobody asks for, and yet it gets passed down just the same. Bad Bunny didn’t say “ICE out” tonight. He didn’t need to. He just showed the whole world what America looks like when we are not afraid of each other. When culture is shared, not policed. When language is music, not a threat. When a flag from every nation in this hemisphere can walk across a football field together and the only words you need are the ones he gave us: The only thing more powerful than hate is love. Over 100 million people saw that tonight. And no Truth Social post can take it away.

I watched Bad Bunny deliver the most American halftime show I have ever seen. Then I came home and watched it again. And I am not okay. In the best possible way. He sang every single word in Spanish. Every. Single. Word. He danced through sugarcane fields built on a football field in California while the President of the United States sat somewhere calling it “disgusting.” Lady Gaga came out and did the salsa. Ricky Martin lit up the night. A couple got married on the field. He handed his Grammy, the one he won eight days ago for Album of the Year, to a little boy who looked up at him the way every child looks up when they dare to believe the world has a place for them. And then this man, this son of a truck driver and a schoolteacher from Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, stood on the biggest stage on the planet and said “God bless America.” And then he started naming them. Chile. Argentina. Uruguay. Paraguay. Bolivia. Peru. Ecuador. Brazil. Colombia. Venezuela. Panama. Costa Rica. Nicaragua. Honduras. El Salvador. Guatemala. Mexico. Cuba. Dominican Republic. Jamaica. The United States. Canada. And then, his voice breaking with everything he carries, “Mi patria, Puerto Rico. Seguimos aquí.” My homeland, Puerto Rico. We are still here. The flags came. Every single one of them. Carried across that field by dancers and musicians while the jumbotron lit up with the only words that mattered: “THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE.” I teared up. I’m not ashamed to say it. I sat on my couch and I wept because THAT is the America I believe in. That is the American story, not the sanitized, gated, English-only version that small and frightened people try to sell us. The REAL one. The messy, beautiful, multilingual, multicolored, courageous one. The one that has always been built by hands that speak every language and pray in every tongue and come from every corner of this hemisphere. That is the America I want Jack and Charlotte to know. That when the moment came, when the whole world was watching, a Puerto Rican kid who grew up to become the most-streamed artist on Earth stood in front of 100 million people, sang in his mother’s language, blessed every nation in the Americas, and spiked a football that read “Together, we are America” into the ground. Not with anger. With joy. With love so big it made hate look exactly as small as it is. And what did the President do? He called it “absolutely terrible.” He said “nobody understands a word this guy is saying.” He called it “a slap in the face to our Country.” The leader of the free world watched a celebration of love, culture, and everything this hemisphere has given to the world, and all he could see was something foreign. Something threatening. Something disgusting. Let that sink into your bones. The man who is supposed to represent all of us looked at the flags of our neighbors, heard the language of 500 million Americans across this hemisphere, and felt attacked. That’s not strength. That’s not patriotism. That is poverty of the soul. And then there was the Turning Point show. Kid Rock in a college arena in North Dakota. Three million viewers watching a man who once wrote a song about liking underage girls perform as the “family-friendly” alternative to a Puerto Rican artist celebrating love. They called it the “All-American Halftime Show”, as if America has a velvet rope. As if this country belongs to some of us and not all of us. As if you need to sing in English to count. Here’s what I want to say to everyone who posted about that show tonight, who shared it proudly, who turned away from Bad Bunny’s celebration because it was in Spanish and the flags weren’t only red, white, and blue:

@TPUSA Why not @rumblevideo

UPDATE: Due to licensing restrictions, we are unable to stream The All-American Halftime Show on X. Head on over to our YouTube channel tonight around 8PM ET to watch the full show 🇺🇸

@MayorFrey @Jacob_Frey You’re a joke. Democrats encourage lawlessness.

I am aware of a shooting involving an ICE agent at 34th Street & Portland. The presence of federal immigration enforcement agents is causing chaos in our city. We’re demanding ICE to leave the city immediately. We stand rock solid with our immigrant and refugee communities.

@SenatorSlotkin Sedition

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community. The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution. Don’t give up the ship.

@Julius_Kim Because it’s unconstitutional. And ineffective.

@StandUpForTrmp Who?

🚨BREAKING: Comedian Stewart Lee says that he will not be performing in the United States under Donald Trump’s Presidency. We do not care. What's your reaction?

@ATabarrok Come on Alex. Housing supply is effectively fixed in the short run. And housing supply has been restrained for decades, due to governments restrictions of developers ability to produce more inventory.

JD Vance thinks like a commie. Look at language: Illegal immigrants were "taking houses" that "by right" ought to go to Americans. As if homes are a fixed pot the govt allocates to a deserving class. (And the US sellers? Blank out.) Zero-sum, central-planner thinking.

@Strandjunker Why should we counterprotest a temper tantrum?

The fact that there were no counterprotests shows that Trumpism and MAGA barely exist outside of social media. This movement has gradually collapsed completely within the population. — It’s difficult to fill the real world with Trump government troll bots.

@uscfb @WellsFargo You should’ve left the Hail Mary’s to Notre Dame. 🤦‍♂️

final from South Bend @WellsFargo

@SaveAmericaNew Why does the other 50% still have a job?

🚨BREAKING: Senator Elizabeth Warren warns that President Trump has terminated 50% of employees at the Department of Education. What's your response?

@ChrisPlanteShow You're advocating for a "Fairness Doctrine" for broadcast television. Be careful what you wish for.

@RepDonaldsPress @charliekirk11 Call them out on it. Every. Single. Time.

It's been 8 days since a leftist assassin shot my friend @charliekirk11. Just now, Rashida Tlaib just called us "FASCIST" again. This rhetoric is WRONG. This rhetoric is UNHINGED. This rhetoric is OUT-OF-LINE. This rhetoric has INSPIRED MURDER. WE WILL NOT STAND TO BE DEFAMED.

@FordFischer And the problem is?

Just now: Woman protesting outside Broadview ICE facility is shot repeatedly with sting balls, thrown to the ground, and ultimately maced point blank in the face as she attempts to block ICE agents from leaving the facility in a vehicle.

@RealJamesWoods I was gonna ask if your account had been hacked.

We’ve all made jokes at Jimmy Kimmel’s expense. But Mr. Kimmel is a fellow artist, and I am in fact heartbroken to see the way he has been treated. I believe he is, in his heart of hearts, a good and decent fellow, devoid of malice and hate. Just kidding, Jimbo. Eat shit.

@matt_vanswol Me. Right in the middle of Disneyworld when the news broke.

I have talked to more grown men, who broke down crying, in the last 24 hours than I may have talked to in my entire life combined. This truly is a turning point.

You can tell a lot about a person by how they react when someone dies.

@benshapiro In the words of Gen. Anthony McAuliffe: N U T S !

We will never stop debating and discussing. We will never stop standing up for what America is and what she should be. And we will never let Charlie’s voice die. To those who would stop us, I have two words: FUCK YOU.

@algore Tell your friends to stop calling their political opponents Nazis.

All of us as Americans must condemn the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk in the strongest terms possible! In our nation, acts of political violence are attacks on democracy itself. I urge all Americans to join in a commitment to help steer our democracy away from the hatred and hyper-partisan divisions that have become all too common, and steer instead toward open, good faith debate among those with whom we disagree. My prayers are with the Kirk family.

@Big12Pokes They weren’t your friends.

Apparently I’ve lost a lot of friends today since I care about a young man getting killed for his beliefs. Wow.

@cenkuygur You and your friends need to stop calling your political opponents Nazis. Now.

I’ll work with anyone on the right to appeal to our better angels. We have to go toward more empathy and love for one another, not toward more hate. If this moment is used to drive hate and division, it’ll be a second tragedy today. Let’s remember we’re all Americans together.
