My friends, it’s day nine of the government shutdown, and the Left is still playing political theater while pretending to fight for the people. Senate Democrats have refused to pass a clean continuing resolution, leaving hundreds of thousands of federal workers in limbo — and President Trump is now warning that furloughs could become permanent cuts if the standoff continues.
That’s not just a headline. It’s a shot across the bow of Washington’s bloated bureaucracy. For years, Congress has treated spending like a game of Monopoly — printing, promising, and punting. Now Trump is daring them to govern like adults.
Meanwhile, on college campuses, the free exchange of ideas continues to be under assault. A Turning Point USA chapter at Rutgers University is facing a student petition to shut it down — all under the tired accusation of “hate speech.” The truth is simple: the Left can’t handle opposing views, and they’ll silence anyone who speaks truth to their narrative.
I also share a moving story in today’s Toddcast about a mother, raised by atheist parents, who began questioning her worldview after listening to Charlie Kirk. That’s the power of truth spoken boldly — it cuts through noise and transforms hearts.
“The truth doesn’t fear questions — but tyrants do.”
And speaking of noise — Representative Katie Porter’s disastrous CBS interview has gone viral for all the wrong reasons. Reporter Julie Watts did what real journalists should do: ask fair follow-up questions. Porter couldn’t handle it and threatened to storm off set. If you can’t face questions from the press, you’re not fit to lead. Period.
Government gridlock, campus censorship, and media meltdowns — all symptoms of the same problem: too many people in power afraid of the truth.

Stand firm, speak truth, and never grow bitter.

Todd Talk: Supreme Court Case May Reshape Every Congressional Map
My friends, today the Supreme Court is hearing arguments in Louisiana v. Callais — a case that could reshape how congressional districts are drawn for years to come.
At issue is whether Louisiana must create a second majority-black district to comply with the Voting Rights Act, or whether doing so would amount to unconstitutional racial gerrymandering that gives race too dominant a role in redistricting.
Supporters say another black-majority district is needed to ensure fair and proportional representation for voters statewide. Critics argue that drawing districts primarily based on race, undermines equal-protection principles and weakens confidence in the process.
Whatever the outcome, the Court’s decision will affect how every congressional district in America is drawn — and it could impact elections for a generation.
