Remember how wingnuts were saying that the government and media were all a bunch of child traffickers when the other party was in charge? 🧐

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional.
We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.

This is an unelected oil executive now calling the shots for America’s public lands. No Senate vote. No accountability. Just a signature and the quiet handoff of power to Musk’s inner circle. This is what authoritarianism looks like, buried in bureaucracy.

On this #420day, we celebrate the 52nd anniversary of performers “Gail & Dale” singing the hit, “One Toke Over the Line,” on Lawrence Welk.
Neither had an idea the song was about pot, and Welk thought the song was a “modern spiritual.”

And this was the White House’s response: they are officially thumbing their nose at both the lower court and a 9-0 Supreme Court order. Our country is completely off the rails, the separation of powers has failed.

🧵 There are a lot of misleading claims out there about the SAVE Act. Let me set the record straight: I voted for the SAVE Act for the simple reason that American elections are for Americans. Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is common sense.

Reminder: tariffs are taxes on imported goods, which means Americans end up paying more.
