Polls consistently show that Americans do not favor Trump's war with Iran. Our Executive Director @brittanymartinez.bsky.social was on @forbes.com yesterday talking about our so-called "Peace President" who made a lot of claims while on the stump.

We're proud to announce our 2026 Principles First Summit, February 20-22!

This year's theme was an obvious one: America 250, focusing on the ideas that have made America the envy of the world since 1776, and how we pass the torch to future generations.

See you at the Gaylord! tinyurl.com/55z6wuue

Principles matter. They define who we are and what we believe. We need leaders with the courage to defend them. Putin must be stopped.

We are grateful a suspect has been arrested in connection to the murder of Charlie Kirk. Like you, we are horrified by this senseless tragedy.

Political violence is never the answer. Our hearts are with Charlie's wife, young children, and family during this unimaginable time.

Last week, a few of our incredible Illinois volunteers tabled at First Fridays in Aurora.

We're coming to a city near you! Where would you like to see us next?

Political violence is never acceptable.

Today we remember 9/11: the lives lost, the heroes, and the resilience of a great nation in the face of tragedy. We are stronger when we stand together.

Great write-up in the Colorado Sun
about the Principles_1st Denver dinner!
@judgeluttig.bsky.social reminds us what still matters!

To recap: Trump has now (1) had his name redacted from the Epstein files, (2) given preferential treatment to Ghislaine Maxwell, moving her to a cushy detention center over the outrage of the victims’ families, and (3) called his supporters dumb for asking questions about this.
