Came Here to Say This🗽

The thing is, this is the Government telling private businesses what to do, and how to do it.
Which, if the Left does it, is called state control, but if the Right does it, it is called upholding freedom.

When Moderation Becomes Appeasement If your chief goal is to find a middle ground with the far right on social issues, you’ll end up condoning its values—just ask Keir Starmer.

"Our disagreement with fascism is, ultimately, one of *values.* Those to the left of the populist, nativist right must articulate a competing, values-based vision to give everyone else—and especially the complacent middle—a true alternative."

So much for the separation of church and state.

NYTimes is the most disappointing. Their role in enabling the Trump regime will ensure the paper’s place in history’s textbooks for generations to come.

There have been claims that NOAA/NWS did not foresee catastrophic TX floods--but that's simply not true. This was undoubtedly an extreme event, but messaging rapidly escalated beginning ~12 hrs prior. Flood Watch mid PM, "heads up" outlook late PM, flash flood warnings ~1am.

WPC issued as many as six MPDs for the deadly flash flooding in the TX Hill Country starting yesterday evening and lasting through much of today. The first MPD generally set the stage for what was to come, while the next three shown were as the event unfolded.

The Republican Plot to Un-Educate America Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” is an extinction-level event for higher education that would annihilate the country’s intellectual potential.

This is not a budget bill, it is a debt and deportation bill—and one built on the fascist foundation laid by the Heritage Foundation’s now-notorious Project 2025. https://trib.al/5GSM9ns

Well, whaddya know. A new decision in which a district court certified a Rule 23(b)(2) class and issued a … {checks notes} … NATIONWIDE INJUNCTION!!

The MAGA folks I maintain (hometown) connections with are literally drooling right now.

The term he’s looking for is indentured servants.

Mamdani is a naturalized citizen. Denaturalization has been used rare until now, but as I explained in my newsletter last night, DOJ is prioritizing it now. If your response is, that exceeds what the law allows, when has that ever stopped Trump? open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Where it starts is never where it starts. The news that DOJ is prioritizing denaturalizations, combined with very vague explanations of who they will prioritize, is deeply concerning. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Trump’s exact quote to Fox today on this: “We’re doing coal. I don’t want windmills destroying our place. I don’t want these solar things where they go for miles and they cover up half a mountain and are ugly as hell.”

Tim Walz eulogizes slain lawmaker as a historic Minnesotan — and friend After a hug with Kamala Harris, Gov. Tim Walz eulogized slain state Rep. Melissa Hortman as “the most consequential speaker in Minnesota history.”

It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

They are going to use this money to build concentration camps in the US. Call it what it is.

Which y’all? Because I’ve been hearing it since before project 2025.

The issue is why aren’t the Democrats in office doing anything more than saying words & following rules?

Betsy, a U.S. citizen who recently graduated from high school, said both of her parents came to the U.S. nearly two decades ago & lacked legal status when she was born:

"I feel like it targets these innocent kids who haven't even been born.”

Yeah just going to build on the spotlight these great folks have on Greasy Pete.

Sen. Alex Padilla: "Trump clearly has one litmus test when selecting people to appoint. It's not experience. It's not dedication to our country or the rule of law. It's whether or not a potential nominee is willing to bend or ignore the law to satisfy the president."

Rep. Greg Stanton: "Ms. Lake, to regain a semblance of your credibility, are you finally able to admit you lost the 2022 Arizona election?"

Kari Lake: " It saddens me that you are from Arizona."
