This should alarm everyone.

On Thursday, Florida, by unanimous vote, became the first state in the country to adopt “The Phoenix Declaration: An American Vision for Education.”
It was written by the Heritage Foundation, the same group behind Project 2025.

For over 5 years, Marjorie Taylor Greene was one of the people in Congress most disliked by Democrats.

No death threats.

It was only when she turned on Donald Trump that she got death threats.

Just like Senators only received threats of violence after they wavered on Trump's cabinet nominations.

MTG is not a friend or ally.

She’s an extremist…a racist antisemite. She harrassed children impacted by gun violence.

She’s dangerous.

The newsletters from Missouri Congressman Jason Smith are usually filled with partisan drivel and little truth.

Biden this and Kamala that. Socialism and Marxism. Burn the books and ban the history. Republicans good. Democrats evil. Epstein? Never heard of him.
