People always ask how I identify politically. I am a MAGA Lefty. Trump's pro-worker, anti-war, socially moderate America First agenda was the Democrats' platform for a century. Now it's MAGA. I'm deeply humbled by everyone who reached out to share that this resonated with them.
I understand why fellow late night hosts are expressing solidarity with Colbert, but why is every elected Democrat doing so as well? I guess they really do view them as Team Blue industry partners.
Satire and humor can be effective in highlighting the truth, and showing the emperor has no clothes. Sign this petition to CBS and tell it not to cancel The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. actionnetwork.org/forms/sign-the… #Wednesdayvibe
Hard to overstate what a huge deal this trade deal is. An epic win for President Trump. You can't imagine another politician who could have pulled this off. Trump is rewriting the future of manufacturing in America.
Thanks to @POTUS’s leadership, the United States has negotiated a historic agreement with Japan, one of our great allies. Prime Minister @shigeruishiba and Minister @ryosei_akazawa worked hard with our trade team to secure this mutually beneficial partnership, for which we…
Hunter Biden is being excoriated for that interview, but where’s the daylight between Hunter and any other Democrat on immigration? Hunter is the poster child for the Dems' current view: that our economy should rely on a serf caste of illegal labor undercutting American wages.
The Democrats tried to destroy Trump when he threatened their power. The media called him divisive when he was uniting working class Americans of all races around their right to the American Dream. Why is the President leaning into divisive rhetoric instead of his unifying goal?
I will be anchoring my friend @LelandVittert's show @NewsNation from 9-10 PM, I hope you'll join us! Topics: - Trump v Obama - Ghislane Maxwell interview - New polling on Mamdani - Hunter Biden - the Democrats' poster child on immigration

“Without the ability to make antibiotics, chips, and batteries—to say nothing of ships, rockets, and drones—we have no chance in the event of a catastrophe like a world war.” @BUngarSargon met the tech bros trying to change that. thefp.com/p/here-come-th…
“The premise of the conference was simple: America may rule the roost when it comes to software, but software alone can’t win the future.” @BUngarSargon reports on the new frontier of American manufacturing, budding in Detroit. thefp.com/p/here-come-th…
“They had gathered to make deals, invest in new companies, and show off their American-made tech, which included a robot wearing a Hawaiian shirt and a wig that Anduril CEO Palmer Luckey spoke through.” @BUngarSargon reports on the Reindustrialize Summit. thefp.com/p/here-come-th…
I had a valuable conversation with @bungarsargon on @NewsNation about Jewish voters & the Democratic Party. As a longtime Jewish Democratic activist, I believe it's crucial that our party's leaders provide strong moral leadership to counter the rising hate speech against Jews.
Hear the real reason Israel is bombing Syria from an Israeli Druze: Israel has a blood covenant with its Druze citizens, and their brothers and sisters are being massacred in a Druze October 7 in Syria. Thank you @AnanKheir for joining me @OnBalanceGuests:

NEW: There’s been a lot of discussion lately about rising graduate unemployment. I dug a little closer and a striking story emerged: Unemployment is climbing among young graduate *men*, but college-educated young women are generally doing okay.
This is the dumbest attempted hit piece I’ve ever read.
JUST IN: The Wall Street Journal releases an alleged letter from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein for Epstein's 50th birthday. President Trump says the letter "is a fake thing," and says he is going to sue the outlet. The letter allegedly involved a hand-drawn woman with text…
