As expected, most schools receiving @GovBillLee’s private school voucher taxpayer handouts have shady testing & transparency, and “patchwork” curriculums “largely based in Christianity”

A whole-of-society approach rejects the false choice between Jewish safety and democracy.
There is no Jewish safety without inclusive democracy — and no inclusive democracy without Jewish safety. Our collective security depends on both. (5/5)

If you’re shocked by the Heritage Foundation defending Tucker Carlson — who’s done more to normalize antisemitism & white nationalism than almost anyone — you haven’t been paying attention. That same extremism is at the core of Project 2025, from mass deportations to gutting core democratic rights.
1. A watershed moment.
The President of the Heritage Foundation and Heritage Action, Kevin Roberts , has announced that the organization is standing by Tucker Carlson in the aftermath of Tucker’s interview with neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes.
This isn’t Kevin bending his knee to Trump…this is something new

Kind of this donor to illustrate that the billionaires can afford to pay more in taxes by volunteering to pay an extra $130 million to the government.

If any other Press Sec from any other admin said this - let alone said this when the government was shutdown - that would be the end of that presidency. The media wouldn't write about anything else for months.
