We're in court today challenging a Texas law that requires all public K-12 schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom.
Public school is for learning, not evangelizing.

"Can Trump act like a specific dictator before the Left accuses him of acting like some kind of dictator? My name is Chris Rufo and for some fucking reason the editors at the New York Times think I'm smart."
1. Rufo is calling for DC to be put under martial law here (Bukele famously suspended the Constitution & ended most due process rights)
2. Trump will, most likely, sloppily arrest a lot of people, & disappear a lot of unhoused people, claiming he "solved crime" (but it will all be security theater)

Every American should read this ACLU lawsuit about what is happening in Los Angeles and California. It is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. This is not immigration enforcement. It is positively stuffed with videos and articles documenting racial profiling on a scale unseen since Jim Crow.

Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

We're all ready in a shutdown where Musk/Trump have decided what parts of government to shut down - and it's only going to get worse when the CR passes
How is it everyone outside of the Senate Dem leadership office can see that?
Republicans must laugh their asses off at how easy it is to roll you

If we enter a shutdown, Congressional Republicans would weaponize their majorities to cherry-pick which parts of government to reopen.

Certainly going with a plan of appeasement will work and won’t result in anyone invading Poland
A shutdown would give Donald Trump the keys to the city, state, and country.
Musk has said he wants a shutdown, and reporting has shown he is already making plans to use the shutdown to expedite his destruction of key government programs and services.
