TPUSA Protestors Left SPEECHLESS when asked why they’re protesting The Daily Signal spoke with a group of violent protesters outside the Turning Point Women’s Leadership Summit in San Antonio Texas.

🚨🚔FULL CLIP OF POLICE ASSULT A man was arrested for ASSAULTING A POLICE OFFICER at a Turning Point USA Protest! The man was earlier pepper sprayed after storming a police barricade where police were protecting the hotel entrance. The protestor then threw a water bottle at a police officer and was chased and thrown to the ground, and taken across the street to be arrested. Protesters have been surrounding the hotel since around 9 AM this morning. This is the second arrest of the day. @DailySignal is reporting on the ground.

Proud to stand by my former colleague @lyndseyfifield. Thanks to @IngrahamAngle for the opportunity—and shame on the New York Times for its treatment of her.

Anyone who has ever extracted themselves from a relationship with a narcissistic abuser knows it isn’t clean or easy. I cringe remembering how many times I tried to play the “cool girl” or fawn in response to what was clearly abusive, coercively controlling behavior by Graham. I also know how dangerous it is to become the target of a narcissist — so even long after our relationship ended I continued to be upbeat any time he reached out, though I would also immediately shut down any attempts on his part to initiate flirting or romanticizing of the past. Yes, the day I saw him announce he was running I wanted to make sure people knew he had a Nazi tattoo — and I was terrified he would find out it was me. But of course he knew it was me. What’s ironic is I absolutely never would have shared my story if he hadn’t been relentlessly attacking my character behind the scenes for months once the tattoo story came out. I tried to signal that I wasn’t the source and stayed completely silent about him on social media even as most of my friends posted regularly about what a bad person he is. But then in early April the New York Times came to me. I asked how they got my number. I said I was not interested in sharing my story. They said but wait—there are other women. Women terrified to tell their stories, too, and you need to band together. WE will help you. We will protect you. Men can’t keep getting away with this. Hours before their first call to me I saw Eric Swalwell’s name plate get removed from his office door in Cannon. It felt like fate. I welcomed the two journalists into my home days later, nervous and overwhelmed. Justin Fairfax had just murdered his wife and himself the previous day and even conservative pundits were conjecturing that “if only those women hadn’t accused him of abuse, this never would have happened…” But I told them my story. I let them take pictures of my diary pages. I sent them screenshots of messages and gave them phone numbers and contacts. It was excruciating. I was surprised by what details I remembered, and as I poured through old messages I was horrified by how much I had forgotten. I explained very clearly that, like many women abused by their partners, I had not told anyone about his violence at the time—I had covered for and defended it. I accepted his earnest apologies. They said that’s fine because the diary entries and my on the record story was enough. They connected me to two of the other victims so we wouldn’t feel so alone. I insisted to each of them that I trusted the NYT journalists and that we were doing the right thing despite their (sadly very accurate) sense that something was wrong. One of the victims and I realized our relationships with Graham overlapped completely - he had been cheating on both of us the entire time we were together. I should note here that my life is just… beautiful. These are the best years of my life. Raising two young girls in a safe, beautiful neighborhood where I work from home and shuffle my children from dance classes and soccer to church events — I am blessed far beyond what I deserve with wonderful friends and family and the most loving, brilliant husband in the world. Why would I blow my life up like this? Why would I risk the psychotic doxxing from violent leftist activists? Because while I have been terrified to come forward I decided this was the “hard right thing” to do. The guilt of staying silent has nagged me. Most therapists recommend a “gray rock” approach to extracting yourself from narcissistic abuse — it works really well, but it is a gift to the abuser, allowing them to persist in their delusion that they’ve done nothing wrong. I couldn’t stay silent as he continued to lie and lie and lie. I want my daughters to boldly speak out if they’re ever abused as I was.

A former girlfriend of Maine Democrat Senate nominee Graham Platner says he grabbed her hard enough to leave marks, twisted her arm behind her back, and shoved her into a bedroom. His campaign didn't dispute his remarks that he would rape an intruder "to show dominance." Maine's primary is Tuesday. The NYT sat on the story for weeks. @RebeccaRoseGold reports: dailysignal.com/2026/06/05/a…

Democrats Did EVERYTHING To Get Kamala Harris Elected—And She Still Collapsed Private planes for campaign staffers, Hollywood consultants, speech coaches and media protection. Democrats built an empire around Kamala Harris to try to carry her to the White House, and Americans still rejected her completely. The new Democrat “autopsy report” proves the party still refuses to admit what actually went wrong in 2024. Full episode: youtu.be/eDMywnR0AgM @VDHanson

It's our last day in Singapore with @SecWar. He spoke to the Shangri-La Dialogue conference this morning, addressing China, Taiwan arms sales, and the future of US relations in the Indo-Pacific. Watch for a behind-the-scenes update on Hegseth's big trip👇

.@SecWar meets with his counterparts from the Philippines. “I believe our alliance has never been stronger as we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the mutual defense stream,” Hegseth says. The Filipino defense minister just praised Hegseth for his “very powerful speech.” Hegseth “made the intentions of the United States in this region clear,” he says. @DailySignal

NEW: @SecWar says Western Europe should learn from the United States’ relationship with Asia. “We need partners, not protectorates. We seek alliances built on shared responsibility, not dependency. This is the maturation of our alliances in a new era.” @DailySignal

“When we look across the region today, there is frightful alarm regarding China's historic military buildup and the expansion of its military activities in the region and beyond,” @SecWar says. “We share a clear-eyed assessment of that security environment. environment and a mutual understanding that a Pacific dominated by any hegemon would unwrap the regional balance of power and undermine people that were in we all seek to preserve. The Department of War is working with the utmost focus to prevent any such unraveling.”

SKID ROW REACTS: LA Keeps Throwing Money At The Crisis—And Nothing Changes People on Skid Row describe a city overwhelmed by addiction, crime, needles and pipes being handed out on the streets, and homelessness spreading far beyond downtown LA. Residents say billions of dollars have been spent on homelessness programs, yet conditions continue getting worse as tents, drug use, and mental health crises spread across Los Angeles. Many question where the money has gone and why the city continues funding programs they believe are failing the people living on the streets. Billions are being spent, the system is broken, and many residents say city leaders lost control of the crisis years ago.

Victor Davis Hanson: Here’s What an Accurate DNC Autopsy Would Say The Democratic National Committee’s now-released 2024 autopsy came with a few predictable omissions: the New Democrat Party agenda. Why? Because the Jacobin wing of the party refuses to believe that’s why Democrats lost so decisively in 2024. They believed that a war on fossil fuels, open-border policies that let in 10 million-plus illegal aliens, allowing men to compete in women’s sports, and the nature of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan were all great policies worth recognition, argues @VDHanson on today’s edition of Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words. “So, in conclusion, if the autopsy wanted to be accurate, it would have done this. We lost the 2024 campaign because we had a radical agenda that reflects the Jacobin neo-socialism of the new party. For us to get elected on a national basis, we have to hide that agenda.” 👉 The Daily Signal cannot continue to tell stories, like this one, without the support of our viewers: dailysignal.com/donate 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Victor Davis Hanson: Democrats Never Complain About the System When They’re in Power I want to ask the Democrats: You had power for eight years with Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. Why didn’t you get rid of the Electoral College then? Why didn’t you bring in two states then? Why didn’t you pack the court? And the answer is that as long as they have power, they put those things off. Then when they get out of power, the system’s not fair, Victor Davis Hanson argues on tomorrow morning’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” youtube.com/@victordavishans… @VDHanson

Victor Davis Hanson: The COVID Narrative Officially Collapsed A CIA whistleblower, James Erdman III, alleges that Dr. Anthony Fauci, the architect behind many of the notorious, draconian public health policies, “influenced” the U.S. intelligence community’s examination of the COVID-19 origins probe, pushing analysts away from lab-leak theories—what else did they lie about, asks @VDHanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
