This is the education plank of the plot to enslave America: secular private academies for the rich, religious instruction for the middle class, and a prison-like rump of public schools for the poor. With our Constitution in tatters, they're racing to implement it
The Texas House early on Thursday approved a far-reaching school voucher program, agreeing to send $1 billion of taxpayer dollars to families for private and often religious education. trib.al/MKJ8Kyg

They're terrorizing our federal employees in real ways and the impact is devastating for all of us. I spoke to a VA employee and FBI Agent about what they're experiencing and it will shock you. This is the most important thing I've written. Please read and share. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Everyone: "Fucking do something"
Democrats: "Fine, we'll destroy the Internet"
NEW: As early as next week, Senators plan to introduce the first bipartisan bill to repeal Section 230, the landmark internet law

I spoke with congressional aides to get the details of the ambitious effort, which internet experts described as akin to extortion

This is indeed a great speech, worth reading in full.
This is the best short speech about Trump's desecration of our democracy since he's re-entered office.

Read it, absorb it, share it.

I would not go on vacation, to a conference, or fly a connection through Florida or Texas.
I hope the Florida governor’s comments mocking Canadians spread far and wide. He’s saying 2024 tourism numbers mean there’s no boycott in 2025. We went there in ‘24. Definitely not going back this year.

Nearly 1 in 4 Illinoisans are enrolled in Medicaid.

They're working moms and dads, seniors, people with disabilities — they're our friends and neighbors.

We need to stand up, speak out, and show up so Donald Trump prioritizes your health care over tax cuts for his friends.

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

In Trump, Putin and Xi Jinping can plainly see a version of themselves. He is doing their work for them. He is damaging American democracy, diminishing American power, and destroying American alliances with an energy and an efficiency that must exceed their wildest dreams.
