IT is the first full day of the inaugural Moms for Liberty Joyful Warriors National Summit, and 500 such warriors are listening raptly as Florida governor Ron DeSantis delivers the keynote address. They fill tables in the grand ballroom of the Tampa Marriott, waving "Mamas for DeSantis" signs, and wearing T-shirts bearing the slogans "We do NOT CO-PARENT with the GOVERNMENT" and "Stop woke indoctrination." They jump to their feet and cheer when DeSantis, who is obviously considering a presidential run in 2024, brags about having stood up to Disney's "leftism" and again when he refers to President Joe Biden as "Brandon blundering around every time you go get gas."
The moms have been primed by a morning program that has been nothing short of a pep rally. First came a deluxe version of the national anthem, replete with an extra verse written by a Christian singer in 1986. A color guard of four teenagers looked on, flags, sabers, and rifles by their sides. A prayer followed, enlisting God in the fight against the scourge of progressivism in schools. When DeSantis finally took the stage, three Moms for Liberty leaders presented him with a bright blue sword, emblazoned with the group's logo. "It is what the gladiators were rewarded with after they had fought a long, hard battle for freedom," said co-founder Tina Descovich. "So this is a representation from all of us moms here in Florida and across the country that appreciate all you've done to stand up for parents' rights." Clutching the sword, DeSantis grinned at the crowd as the press at the back of the ballroom snapped pictures.

In the Name of the Mother - How Shyamala Gopalan Harris raised a presidential contender
Shyamala Gopalan Harris did not believe in coddling. Pay her daughters, Kamala and Maya, an allowance for doing chores? âIf you do the dishes, you should get two dollars,â scoffed the woman who this past summer, almost two decades after we spoke, would launch a million coconut memes. âYou ate from the damn dishes!â Reward the future vice president of the United Statesâand possible future presidentâfor good grades? Ridiculous. âWhat does that tell you?â her mother chided. âIt says, âYou know, I really thought you were stupid. Oh, you surprised Mommy!â No.â
Kill the Messenger - The anti-disinformation field is retreating under attack.
A few months ago, a man crawling along a rooftop in Pennsylvania tried to murder Donald Trump at a campaign rally. Hours later, press releases started to circulate, from analysts, think tanks, politicians, and pundits, all offering to cut through the swell of confusion and misinformation.
Food + Health / Global Warning - Why Project 2025 is an environmental catastrophe in the making
When President Joe Biden took office, Democrats held a slim majority in the House of Representatives and a single-vote edge in the Senate. Despite the monumental odds, he has presided over the most productive presidential term for climate action in American history. Under Bidenâs direction, the federal government took up the arduous task of incorporating climate considerations into scores of administrative operations and procedures. The epa cracked down on superpollutants and issued stricter emissions regulations for passenger vehicles. The Inflation Reduction Act, the biggest climate spending bill Congress has ever passed, brings the nation closer to its goal of slashing carbon emissions in half by 2030.
Trumpnesia - To get a second chance, Trump needs voters to forget his disastrous presidency.
One of the most oft-quoted sentences ever penned by a philosopher is George Santayanaâs observation that âthose who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.â In 2024, this aphorism is practically a campaign slogan. Donald Trump, seeking to become the first former president since Grover Cleveland to return to the White House after being voted out of the job, has waged war on remembrance. In fact, heâs depending on tens of millions of voters forgetting the recent past. This election is an experiment in how powerful a memory hole can be.
