Trump’s nominee to be the Army’s lawyer is confused about the First Amendment.

Since Donald Trump returned to office in January, SCOTUS has backed him at least in part in 21 of 23 emergency docket cases. In doing so, the court has expanded how it uses its emergency power, following at least six different legal paths to side with Trump, a Reuters analysis found reut.rs/4o4MidQ

Adapt. I appreciate the sentiment and hard work but there have been zero lawmakers rallying around systemic restructuring as aid, and avoiding these closures. That's hard work and it would pay double in votes. Stop funneling money to campaigns and dive into making what we love viable again.
The closure of New Jersey PBS is a loss for all of us who live here. Their programming benefits all New Jerseyans young and old.
I’ll continue to stand up to the attacks on public broadcasting and support local networks in Jersey and across the country.
