"Hurt" is not an original by Johnny Cash. The song was written by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) in 1994 for the album The Downward Spiral. Rick Rubin had to insist several times on Cash recording his version, at first Johnny found the idea completely insane because the original version is industrial and noisy. At 71, already very ill, almost blind and with trembling hands, Cash completely transformed the band.
The iconic video, directed by Mark Romanek, was filmed at the House of Cash (his own museum). June Carter Cash appears looking at him fondly, the video was shot in February 2003, a few months before she died (May) and Johnny himself (September).
Trent Reznor was so moved that he declared, "This song is not mine anymore." It is considered one of the best covers of all time.

Senator Mark Kelly (D-Sedition) is a malodorous ball of slime for many reasons, but most of all because of the way he deliberately harms our nation while clinging to deceitful shreds of plausible deniability to cover his rancid slime trails.
Two examples:
1. SEDITION.
-PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY: “All I did was remind service members of their duty to not follow unlawful orders."
-REALITY: Kelly encouraged U.S. military members to refuse to follow lawful orders they disagree with politically by pretending they are “unlawful orders.”
2. UNLAWFULLY REVEALING CLASSIFIED INFORMATION.
-PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY: “All I did was repeat what Secretary Hegseth said in a public hearing.”
-REALITY: Hegseth made generic allusions publicly about the industrial base’s ability to replenish stocks of precision munitions. What Hegseth said was unclassified. Kelly, OTOH, went into specifics regarding stockpiles of specific munitions, listing them by name. More importantly, he made clear that the information he was stating publicly came from a CLASSIFIED briefing. One of the keys to handling classified info is to never confirm or deny the accuracy of the info if it is ever discussed in a non-classified forum. Kelly specifically CONFIRMED classified information. This is a grotesque OPSEC breach.
I find Kelly so morally objectionable because of this sleaze ball behavior. He knows EXACTLY what he is doing, and he knows his braindead Democrat goon enablers will en masse repeat his plausible deniability lies to protect him.
Kelly is one of the most disgusting creatures ever to crawl out of the primordial ooze of the D.C. Swamp.
DISGUSTING.

Hakeem Jeffries' 501(c)4 spent nearly $40 million on the blatantly illegal Virginia gerrymander their state Supreme Court has now struck down.
Is this what the "maximum warfare" we've been hearing about looks like?

🧵🚨 BREAKING: Miles Taylor: "Anonymous," former DHS Chief of Staff, Google security executive launched a website called GTFO ICE that collects your full name, email, phone number, and zip code to join an anti-ICE "rapid response network." And publishes the user infromation via a public API. 🚨
17,662 people have signed up.
The sign-up data is exposed on a public REST API. No true authentication. No rate limiting. Full records: names, emails, phone numbers, zip codes, timestamps.
The man who ran the third-largest federal department (250,000 employees, $60 billion budget) who oversaw election security architecture and led counterterrorism operations, then served as Google's Head of National Security Policy...
...can't secure a sign-up form. But he does milk hundreds of thousands of NGO dollars on these credentials. While freeloading off his fame as the person who wrote the infamous NYT article "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration."
And despite me pinging @MilesTaylorUSA about this 12 hours ago, the REST API is still wide open and exposed as of now. Everything has been turned over to FBI, HSI, ICE, and more agencies.
As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

You have *zero* credibility on this issue.
@GovTimWalz, you have willingly ignored and downplayed the rampant fraud and abuse in Minnesota.
This crackdown on fraud has come thanks to the leadership of President Trump. We will hold those who steal from Americans accountable.

🚨 HOLY CRAP. A DEVASTATING line of questioning from Rep. Brandon Gill totally exposes abortionists for who they are
GILL: What's your favorite type of abortion?
LIB: I don't have one
GILL: Suction abortion. This is when the cervix is dilated, and a strong suction, 29 times the power of a household vacuum cleaner, tears the baby's body apart and sucks it through the hose into a container.
"Do you prefer THAT METHOD?"
LIB: I stand by my former testimony.
GILL: That sounds kind of gross, doesn't it? Sounds pretty gruesome. Do you agree? This one is called dilation and curettage. After dilation of the cervix, a sharp looped knife is inserted into the uterus. You prefer that method?
LIB, PANICS: What I believe we are here to talk about today is the FACE Act! We are not here to talk about the legality of abortion.
GILL: You're a pro-abortion advocate. I'm asking if you prefer the dilation and curettage method. You don't you don't want to talk about abortion itself. Why is that?
"Forceps are inserted into the uterus, grabbing and twisting the baby's body to dismember him or her. If the head is too large, it must be crushed in order to remove it. Do you prefer that method?"
LIB: "I would prefer to talk about the reason the hearing was called and the basis of my expert testimony."
GILL: "The baby's skin is burned off. The baby ingests the solution and dies of salt poisoning, dehydration, and hemorrhaging of the brain. Do you prefer that method?"
"It's uncomfortable to hear this, isn't it? It is."
"How about this one? It's called the saline injection. It's when a 20% salt solution is injected through the mother's abdomen into the baby's amniotic fluid."
LIB: I would prefer to talk about the subject of the hearing.
GILL: This is the subject of the hearing. This is about protests outside of abortion clinics. I'm asking you about abortion.
LIB: I stand by my prior testimony.
GILL: I wouldn't want to talk about this either if I were you because it is barbaric and evil.

I don’t think we have remotely grasped the depths of Democrat fraud in this country yet. When you work two jobs and half your salary disappears in taxes, this is where the money goes.
This is why I support ICE.
In just ONE state, 14,000 individuals receiving SNAP benefits were driving LUXURY VEHICLES!
🚗 3 Bentleys
🚗 3 Ferraris
🚗 11 Lamborghinis
🚗 59 Maseratis
🚗 141 Porsches
🚗 244 Alfa Romeos
🚗 306 Land Rovers
🚗 2,098 Teslas
And this is just in ONE STATE. We need to defend our nutrition programs for those most in need, not for scammers gaming the system.
These individuals are taking advantage of the American taxpayer. And together with @VP’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, this ends NOW.
4.3M Americans have been moved off of SNAP — but more work to be done!

Thanks to @USAO_MD Kelly Hayes and her team for their outstanding work on this important case. A Grand Jury returned an indictment against Dr. David Morens, a former senior official at NIAID, for allegedly conspiring to conceal federal records, evade Freedom of Information Act requirements, and suppress dissenting scientific views regarding the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This can never happen again, and this prosecution sends a clear message: those who hold positions of public trust must uphold the highest standards of integrity and transparency.
Former Senior NIAID Official Indicted for Concealing Federal Records During COVID-19 Pandemic
“These allegations represent a profound abuse of trust at a time when the American people needed it most — during the height of a global pandemic,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. “As alleged in the indictment, Dr. Morens and his co-conspirators deliberately concealed information and falsified records in an effort to suppress alternative theories regarding the origins of COVID-19. Government officials have a solemn duty to provide honest, well-grounded facts and advice in service of the public interest — not to advance their own personal or ideological agendas.”

🚨 Trump RIPS CBS' Norah O'Donnell in exchange about shooter's manifesto.
O'DONNELL: In his manifesto, he wrote that 'I'm no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.' What's your reaction?
TRUMP: I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would because you're horrible people. I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody.
O'DONNELL: You think he was referring to you?
TRUMP: Excuse me. I'm not a pedophile. You read that crap from a sick person.... I was totally exonerated.... You should be ashamed of yourself, reading that. You're a disgrace.

I couldn’t have said it more succinctly or more passionately. I will, therefore, share these words with you.
EVERY DEMOCRAT WANTS YOU DEAD. EVERY ONE.
Every single one of them harbors this desire. They leave the physical act of pulling the trigger to others. The moment the bullet finds its mark, the masks drop and the celebration begins. "For the common good." "To protect our democracy." These are the same blood-soaked incantations they have recited since 2016.
They will claim violence has no place in our politics while immediately pivoting to label MAGA as the real threat. The translation is clear. Your death is an unfortunate necessity demanded by the Republic.
This represents the logical endpoint of a decade-long campaign of demonization. They call Trump Hitler. They label MAGA a cult. They equate border enforcement with racism and election skepticism with insurrection. Every institution they control from the media and academia to the DOJ and Big Tech has spent years programming their followers to view conservatives strictly as vermin. When the vermin start dying, the faithful refuse to mourn. They meme. They ratio. They trend phrases like "one down, millions to go."
History is littered with regimes that spoke in the language of the common good while stacking bodies. The Jacobins, the Bolsheviks, and the Red Guards all began with noble rhetoric and ended with mass graves. The modern American Left has simply updated the vocabulary to weaponize terms like equity, sustainability, and the idea that democracy dies in darkness. It is the exact same meat grinder operating under new branding.
Their rhetoric is its merciless clarity. It destroys the comfortable illusion of equal culpability between both sides. One side argues policy. The other side argues that your existence is a hate crime. There is no negotiating with that level of hostility. Reaching across the aisle is impossible when the opposition views the aisle itself as a moral obscenity.
The path forward requires us to stop pretending. We must stop apologizing for noticing reality. We must stop ceding the moral high ground to people who cheer when we bleed. The shooting tonight is Exhibit A in the case for political realism. They want us erased. We want to win. Only one of those goals is compatible with survival.

NEWS: new info on the WHCD shooting suspect, Cole Allen, from the White House. I'll be talking with President Trump about all of this in 30 minutes on @SundayBriefFNC
The suspect’s written manifesto clearly stated he wanted to target administration officials. He also had a ton of anti-Trump and anti-Christian rhetoric on his social media accounts.
ALLEN's brother had notified New London PD (CT) of ALLEN's alleged manifesto he had sent to his family members prior to the incident.
Secret Service and Montgomery County Police interviewed Avriana Allen, ALLEN’s sister, at their residence in Rockville, MD. The following highlights from the interview:
•Allen said her brother had a tendency to make radical statements and his rhetoric constantly referenced a plan to do “something” to fix the issues with today’s world.
•Confirmed ALLEN purchased two handguns and a shotgun from Cap Tactical Firearms and kept them stored at their parent’s home and that their parents were unaware that ALLEN was keeping the firearms in the home.
•ALLEN would regularly go to the shooting range to train with his firearms
•ALLEN was part of a group called ‘The Wide Awakes’
•ALLEN attended a ‘No Kings’ protest in California at some point

The National Popular Vote Compact is wildly unconstitutional.
First, it lets a handful of states rig the Electoral College by awarding their votes based on out-of-state popular totals, which goes directly against the Framers' rejection of pure national popular election, and the originalist interpretation of article II.
Second, this '”compact” among states violates the article I’s Compact Clause which requires Congress's consent.
And third, it guts federalism without a proper Article V amendment.
End-run around the Constitution.

Today’s ruling is a win for due process, for separation of powers, and for the proposition that judges must follow the law too.
No vague order.
No post-hoc rewrite.
No judicial fishing expedition.
No contempt.
Time to move forward with impeachment. xitter.cf/SenEricSchmitt/status/…
This is just absurd. The House MUST move forward with Rogue Judge Boasberg's impeachment.
On April 7, 2025 (297 days ago), the Supreme Court stripped this case away from Boasberg for lack of jurisdiction.
He is still having hearings on remedies. IMPEACH.
