The mixed meter national anthem with a little change of the lyrics for the #USWNT match was… interesting.

“Ten years ago, this amount of emergency docket behavior would’ve been a story unto itself. In 2025, it’s just another week at the Court.”

The emergency docket needs serious reform; it is unconscionable when the world’s foremost legal minds withhold their reasoning ruling on ostensible emergencies

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

They are not targeting criminals, they’re targeting working families.

"White nationalists pervade law enforcement"

Zac Segal, Boston U runner and Young Republican alerted ICE to a car wash in Allston MA which had immigrants working - he said they were taking US jobs. ICE raided the car wash. All detained had legal status according to their lawyer.

Segal was born and schooled in London. 🙄
Student Republican who called ICE on car wash faces backlash
An attorney for those detained said, "Is he taking a college seat away from an American since he's from London?"

Carmel HS Marching Band out here at BOA with no field mics, no little stages for chamber ensembles, and no fill speakers. Just a couple solo mics and good old fashioned breath support. And they had the loudest, clearest woodwinds I’ve heard all night.

This marching band has 11 students marching dots, and an on-field judge still managed to get in the way.😂

Enjoying some Bands of America Grand National Prelims tonight. Avon Marching Band had a great run. Can anyone catch them? I’m curious to hear the Wando and the Texas bands tonight.

Grades are not a zero sum game. That would be an irresponsible way to assess students. Over 100 students took my final exam last year, and the average score was an A-. I didn’t “hand out too many As,” I just prepared the students well for their assessment. #EduSky

Thinking about the many times I've seen "Obama is ignorant" or "AOC doesn't understand economics" or the like while Trump belches out a half-baked insincere proposal for a two-step version of the same ACA subsidy he's trying to eliminate.
