OCT. 15, 2026 – Our statement on President Trump’s decision not to livestream the planned execution of Nidal Hasan in December.
“We welcome President Trump’s decision not to livestream the planned execution of Nidal Hasan. His decision follows widespread condemnation of the public spectacle.

“The controversy should prompt conservatives to look beyond the method of execution and ask a more fundamental question: Is the death penalty a power the government should have at all?”
