A number of us from Team RedState are on site at CPAC 2025 in National Harbor, Maryland, and we can't get enough of the #WINNING and celebratory atmosphere. We'll be covering individual speakers throughout the weekend but thought our readers might like a place to watch (and, for our VIP members, comment upon/discuss the happenings), so you can do that right here.

Friday's lineup is quite impressive. The morning started with a number of speakers from foreign countries that will be starting their own CPAC conferences, then my Townhall Media colleagues Kurt Schlichter and Larry O'Connor held a lively panel discussion about the mental breakdown of the legacy media - particularly people like Joy Reid and Kara Swisher - in the second Trump term.

Friday afternoon features Ric Grenell, Byron Donalds, HUD Secretary Scott Turner, Megyn Kelly, Doug Collins, Mike Benz, Karoline Leavitt, and more.
