221. Chief Justice Roberts and the Clean Power Plan Remarkable reporting from the New York Times provides a peek behind the curtain of the February 2016 rulings that ushered in the modern emergency docket. And what it reveals is pretty discouraging.

"In the first major case in which the Court granted emergency relief as a means of shaping nationwide policy, it turns out that the justice who led the charge was the one who was doing quite a bit more than calling balls and strikes."

BREAKING--The verdict in our Live Nation monopolization case is in. We won our case--Live Nation has a monopoly and abused it. We will continue to fight to end their monopoly, restore competition for concert goers, and get money back to consumers.

Prop 4 repeal effort loses another Senate district and — so far — 10,500 backers The Republican-led effort to repeal Utah's ban on partisan gerrymandering, which had already failed to make the 2026 ballot, has lost another Utah Senate district.

The Trump/Vance-backed effort to defang Utah’s independent redistricting commission keeps losing more signatures.

10,500 people have removed their names from the petitions. Many say they were tricked into signing

These Activists Want to Dismantle Public Schools. Now They Run the Education Department. Under Trump, the Department of Education has been bringing in activists hostile to public schools. It could mean a new era of private and religious schools boosted by tax dollars — and the end of publ...

A policy expert described Education Secretary Linda McMahon’s push in favor of private schools as a “great American heist,” funneling money from public schools:

“It’s a strategic theft of the future of our country, our kids and our democracy.”

I met with Hope Scheppelman and her husband Steven, of the Radical Left State of Colorado, to discuss various opportunities to serve our Country in a different capacity than her current run for the United States Congress. Hope and Steven are wonderful and patriotic Veterans of our U.S. Navy, and loyal supporters of our Historic MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN Movement. Therefore, I am proud to announce that they will be leaving the Campaign trail in order to join my Administration, in a capacity to be determined.

Therefore, I am proud to announce that they will be leaving the Campaign trail in order to join my Administration, in a capacity to be determined.

Together with them, we decided that Congressman Jeff Hurd, of Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, should in no way, shape, or form, be impeded from winning the District in that the Democrat alternative is a DISASTER for our Country. Therefore, I will be fully supporting Jeff’s Re-Election to the House of Representatives, giving him my Complete and Total Endorsement! Every true MAGA supporter and Republican, if they truly care about saving our Country, will do everything in their power to unify together, and defeat the Crazed Radical Left Democrats this November. If they seize power, they will spend every minute trying to “turn back the clock” to Record Inflation, Skyrocketing Prices, High Taxes, Open Borders, Men in Women’s Sports, Transgender for Everybody, Corrupt Elections, “Get Out of Jail Free Cards” for Violent Criminals, and Terrorists, and much more — We cannot let this happen! It is time to stand together against the people that want to destroy our Great Nation, and vote for Jeff Hurd, who will do a fantastic job as your Congressman, including Growing the Economy, Cutting Taxes and Regulations, Promoting MADE IN THE U.S.A., Advancing American Energy DOMINANCE, Keeping our Border SECURE, Supporting our Military/Veterans, Defending our always under siege Second Amendment, and Ensuring PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH. Congratulations to Jeff Hurd and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DJT

 In today's poll, voters were asked about Trump's handling of:

    his job as Commander in Chief of the U.S. military: 42 percent approve, while 55 percent disapprove;
    foreign policy: 40 percent approve, while 57 percent disapprove;
    the economy: 39 percent approve, while 58 percent disapprove;
    the situation with Iran: 38 percent approve, while 57 percent disapprove.

The 58 percent disapproval for Trump's handling of the economy is the highest disapproval he has ever received for his handling of the economy. The previous high was 57 percent, most recently in Quinnipiac University's December 17, 2025 poll.
