We agree.

A perk of being politically tribeless is being able to declare that Donald Trump, Ken Paxton, and Graham Platner are all personally unfit for office without having to twist myself into a pretzel trying to explain some hackish partisan double standard. Principles over party.

From executive slush funds to an overhaul of 8,000 career policy positions, federalism and the rule of law are facing unprecedented challenges. Watch Ep 2 of Principally Speaking w/@JoshGillespiePF as he audits the latest news against our founding principles. #PrinciplesFirst

82 years ago, the Greatest Generation stormed Normandy to fight for freedom and end tyranny. We must never forget what they sacrificed for the Free World.
Forever grateful for their courage.

Trading $50B in federal contracts to corporate donors who funded the White House ballroom project is a text-book conflict of interest. True principles demand transparent, ethical governance—not pay-to-play schemes. Congress must exercise robust oversight.

Good for former state senator @DavidJOsmek on putting his #PrinciplesFirst
Dave Osmek, former Senate president and GOP delegate, says he's leaving the Republican Party following a controversial state convention: "I cannot be part of this any longer," said Osmek, pointing to voting issues, and the Chauvin moment of silence.

When a party fails to follow the principles it claim to champion, it turns off the voters and the volunteers it needs to be successful.

I attended the Minnesota Republican convention as a first-time delegate last weekend.
I left with questions.

In a win for Constitutional separation of powers, a federal court ruled that only Congress has the power to rename or fundamentally alter the Kennedy Center. The Executive cannot rewrite laws or rename institutions by decree. Our republic depends on each branch staying in its lane.
