đď¸ Sydney Sweeney is being called a fascist because of an ad for jeans. This is the sort of vintage woke-left content that has been quiet since Trump took office.
đ EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin breaks news on the progrum announcing the repeal of the "endangerment finding," a 2009 Obama-era regulation. This finding declared carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases as pollutants endangering human health, which then served as the basis for a slew of regulations on vehicles, airplanes, and manufacturing. Zeldin explained that this repeal is the largest deregulatory action in U.S. history, projected to save Americans over $1 trillion.
đ GOP Chair Michael Whatley discusses North Carolina, the 2026 Senate map and if theyâre feeling confident going into the midterms.
