We are part of something so awe inspiring.
We were taught that Earth orbits the Sun in a closed circle. In reality, Earth has never returned to the same point in space once in 4.5 billion years. ​Right now, the Sun is carrying Earth and every planet around the center of the Milky Way at 230 km/s (828,000 km/h), more than 18,000 kilometers every 80 seconds. ​Because the Solar System is tilted 60.2° to the galactic plane and bobs up and down through the galactic disc roughly every 30 million years, the planets trace open 3D corkscrew helices across deep space rather than flat loops. ​The last time the Sun stood where it stands today, one Galactic Year (230 million years) ago, the very first dinosaurs were only beginning to appear on Earth. Since forming 4.6 billion years ago, our Sun has completed only 20 laps.

A look of utter PANIC overtakes a Republican voter in Anchorage, Alaska, as he realizes that he may have voted for the wrong Dan Sullivan. Democrats and their media allies insist there is no confusion among voters. That’s just not true. Watch this man’s facial expressions closely as it sets in that he may have cast his ballot for the spoiler candidate. ALASKA VOTER: “I don’t remember seeing the other Dan Sullivan.” “I totally forgot to look if there was two Dan Sullivans.” NEWSNATION: “The two were together on the ballot.” That’s when it starts to sink in. ALASKA VOTER: “Yeah….” NEWSNATION: “You didn’t notice that?” ALASKA VOTER: “I just…I might be just having a brain freeze. But I don’t remember the second Dan Sullivan.” How many others may have voted for the spoiler?

REMINDER: Thanks to @POTUS's tough-on-crime policies, American streets are safer than ever before. In 2025: - Murder and nonnegligent manslaughter fell 18.1%, tying the lowest rate on record. - Violent crime fell 9.7%—the biggest decrease since the FBI began keeping national estimates in 1936—and dropped another 10.6% in the first half of 2026. - Fentanyl deaths fell 22%, saving more than 10,000 lives.

Wikipedia is run by anonymous editors with a singular goal to drag our country left.
Over the past months, a single Wikipedia editor has been quietly shaping @AbdulElSayed's entry. The editing has been intensive and highly directed. For example: + Hasan Piker controversy got cut down. + Syed's antisemitism problem – deleted. + Harris and Obama endorsements went in. + A line saying AIPAC’s brand is “toxic” included. Is it an op? Well, two weeks ago the same editor had this to say in an edit summary on the El-Sayed page: “another half month of this shit.” 🧵

I really don't know which lunatic decided that a White kid born in 2005 owes the world an apology for something that happened 300 years ago Slavery wasn't some White invention. Every civilization did it. Africans sold other Africans. The Arab slave trade ran for over a thousand years and enslaved millions. Nobody talks about that And guess who actually ended it? The West. Britain banned the trade and literally sent its navy out to hunt down slave ships. That part somehow never makes it into the lecture Meanwhile, slavery still exists today in parts of Africa and the Middle East. Mauritania only made it a crime in 2007. You will never see the outrage or the protests... Nothing but silence But in the West, people are told to feel guilty for being born. Criminals get excused because "the system made him do it." Repeat offenders get arrested again and again and walk right back out. The victim gets forgotten and the criminal gets treated like the victim Seriously, how did it get this bad? The same civilization that built the modern world and ended slavery is now tearing itself apart and calling it morality You have no reason to feel guilty for things that happened centuries ago. You don't even remember what you ate last week This isn't compassion, it's insanity This is literally civilizational suicide

Notice how they are not burning down the streets? And how they are not looting stores? You can’t destroy the city that you love. Patriots.

We need to go back to being a society that accepts apologies. She’s very, very young. She’s poisoned by an academic bubble. She deserves a second chance. Everyone does.
She's deeply sorry that the things she said publicly -- and with great pride -- resulted in people correctly calling her a hate-filled, violence-loving monster.

MAKING AMERICA SAFE AGAIN 🇺🇸 Today, I announced the FCC will vote to authorize prisons to jam contraband cellphones for the first time ever. Almost 500,000 inmates now have access to them and 25,000 phones are seized in jails annually. Inmates are using them at exceptionally high rates to order hits, run drug operations, enable CSAM abuse of young kids, and many more awful acts. We are now giving state and local prisons & jails a tool they’ve been denied for years. Grateful for the chance to get this across the finish line.

As I was saying. According to The New York Times: Not only is Daniel J. Sullivan in Alaska running solely to confuse voters, the top Democratic candidate in the state was involved in recruiting Dan Sullivans for this very purpose. Totally corrupt, unethical, and condemnable.
The Dan J. Sullivan thing in Alaska *is* extremely shady. He has no platform, isn't campaigning, and tried to file as Dan S. Sullivan to match the incumbent's name (he called it a typo, lol). Whatever you think of the lawsuit, Republicans have a right to be mad. It's dirty.

.@POTUS: "Just today, it was announced by the Department of Justice that last year we had over 100,000 fewer rapes, 170,000 fewer robberies, half a million fewer burglaries, and almost 700,000 fewer violent crimes than when I took office."

Under Biden, rapes went up by 67%. Under Trump, they've fallen by 13%.
