Be brutally honest: Are you deeply outraged that, while hundreds of millions of Americans and I are struggling financially, @elonmusk has just now become the world's first trillionaire, with more wealth than he could spend in 1,000 lifetimes? Yes or no?

In Defense of Chief Judge Pryor With all due respect to my friend Josh Blackman, I think he has been unduly critical of Chief Judge Bill Pryor for his role in connection with the sordid doings of U.S. District Court Judge Eleanor Ross. Here’s why: After one of Judge Ross's law clerks alleged that Judge Ross was conducting a long-term extramarital affair in her chambers with an high-ranking Atlanta police officer, all within earshot of her clerks and other court personnel, Pryor initiated an investigation. Ross denied the allegations and said this was simply a case of sour grapes by a disgruntled, under-performing law clerk. Rather than accepting Judge Ross’s blanket denial of misconduct, Pryor continued the investigation, hiring lawyers and investigators to pursue the matter, which prompted other law clerks to come forward to back up what the law clerk had said. The fact that Pryor pressed ahead with the inquiry prompted Ross to “lawyer up” and admit her misconduct within a matter of days, short-circuiting the need to continue the investigation. Moreover, Pryor insisted that Ross issue a letter of apology that was supposed to be “sufficiently specific” to “make clear” to the clerks who provided evidence against her (at great professional risk to their budding careers) what she was apologizing for. When Ross’s initial, woefully insufficient, feeble non-attempt at an apology was made public, Pryor did not let the issue pass; instead, he initiated a second inquiry about whether Ross had “failed to send adequate letters of apology to [her] former clerks.”  This immediately prompted Ross to issue a more fulsome apology, which Pryor insisted be provided to the media, including the NY Times, which had published her initial “apology.” What more should Pryor have done? He is, after all, only one member of the judicial council that decided to issue a private reprimand to Judge Ross that included barring her from serving as chief judge of the district of serving in any other leadership role as a judge. There is also a strong argument that could be made that Judge Ross committed a federal crime when she initially lied to Pryor about what had transpired in her chambers, but, of course, Pryor is a judge, not a federal prosecutor. A strong argument (one I completely agree with) can also be made that Ross should be impeached and removed from the bench, but Pryor is on the federal bench himself, not in the House of Representatives, which is the body that will ultimately decide whether to impeach her. Two Republican Congressmen from Georgia (where Judge Ross presides) have now introduced articles of impeachment against Ross.  It is worth noting, though, that it was largely through Chief Judge Pryor’s efforts that this scandalous conduct has been brought to light. He deserves praise for this, not subtle (or not so subtle) condemnation.

The Latest Chicanery in Judge Ross's Case. reason.com/volokh/2026/06/12…

Quite an opening to NYT article on Judge Eleanor Ross, titled Sex, Lies and Secrets: A Federal Judge’s Trysts Go Public. Add to this the (criminal) lies that she told the investigating judges.

As Tucker continues to unravel and dive deeper into his anti-American kookery it will become fashionable for many to disavow him. But it would be wise to remember all the so-called “conservatives” who propped him up in the first place. This meltdown was predictable and in many ways inevitable.

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.

It took a tremendous amount of courage for Lyndsey to speak out. Having worked with her for many years, I urge you to pray for her today. She deserves respect and admiration for sharing this troubling chapter of her life.

Welcome to the team Ed Schweitzer! American businessman and inventor Edmund Schweitzer has joined @AmericanFreedom Board of Directors.

Lyndsey is one of the most sincere - and sincerely good - human beings I know. There isn't an ounce of deceit in her. Those of us who know her...know. What she did in coming forward is brave beyond measure. And the way so many are treating her is despicable beyond words.

President Reagan’s vision of free markets, strong families, and American leadership helped build decades of economic growth and prosperity. AAF is carrying this tradition forward—advancing conservative policies and principles that made America exceptional. AAF’s President @TimChapman sums it up perfectly: “AAF’s strength is staying principled and building for the long term.”
