In Louisiana, merely helping to plan a protest that might impede traffic—even if the protest never comes—can land you with a conspiracy charge. If 25 or more people impede traffic in Florida, they can be charged with “rioting” and face 15 years.

Like the Koch brothers and other conservative billionaires, Dunn and Wilks want to slash regulations and taxes.
Their endgame, however, is more radical: not just to limit the government but also to steer it toward Christian rule.

GOP lawmakers plan to use the special legislative procedure to enact substantial changes to border security, defense, energy and tax law, as well as major spending reductions. If they succeed, there will be no Democratic votes needed.

What an extremely vile move
New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

One of the primary things that elected Democrats could do is support these civil servants in every possible rhetorical and substantive way.

Quick reminder: a bureaucrat's likelihood to have the courage to disobey an unlawful or unconstitutional order is directly related to their expectation of being supported and protected.
Democrats should be promising to support federal workers who report illegal orders or refuse to comply with them.
