They could send their children to the same public schools my children went to. They don't. I should not have to pay property taxes to pay for their choices.

Michigan’s $81 Billion Budget Deal: Roads Win, Services Lose ...and education lags behind the rest of the nation

Sending Public School funds to religious schools is wrong in every way. Vouchers for these religious and other private schools that rich people CHOOSE to send their children to are wrong. They choose to send their children to these schools.

For now. He will do an emergency appeal to the GOP MAGA SUPREME COURT 6, and this corrupt panel of judges (who do not deserve to be called Justices, because there is no justice in them) will allow him to send the National Guard in against BOTH Governors' wishes. They will do it on the shadow docket.

Judge Immergut isn’t playing around and I suspect will slam the Trump Administration for trying to end-run her order from yesterday blocking Trump’s call-up of Oregon’s National Guard in Portland.

UPDATE: We’ve filed for a temporary restraining order in our case to block the Trump-Vance admin from unlawfully firing federal workers during the government shutdown.

We refuse to let President Trump treat civil servants and their livelihoods as political tools.

Emergency motion goes before judge tonight to stop CA National Guard to Portland U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut holds a hearing by phone at 7 p.m. Sunday.

An emergency motion is going before a judge RIGHT NOW to keep California National Guard troops out of Oregon.

Portland isn’t the problem β€” Trump is.

The whole Chicago apartment building deal is a prime example. But violating protesters' Civil and Constitutional rights by using teargas, pepper spray, pepper pellets and rubber bullets at them and journalists, must end.

I am praying that these Generals and Admirals and their teams can hold their ground. We are going to need them as the times get worse.

Kristie Noem, ICE/CBP are all out of control. Their tactics are out of control. The way in which they are treating people is out of control.

America After Trump's 'Enemies Within' Speech Trump and his MAGA revolutionaries eye their next target: the U.S. military.

Hegesth dressing the top brass down was totally unacceptable. He is an alcoholic, what Major??? Who does he think he is?

Trump's discussion was unhinged and meandering and just weird.

β€œThis is a nation of constitutional law, not martial law.” That is a quote from the temporary restraining order issued by District Judge Karin Immergut blocking President Donald Trump from federalizing and deploying National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon.

Trump is out of control. Kristie Noem is out of control. ICE/CBP is out of control. Trump is looking to start a 2nd Civil War. This is AMERICA, Not Russia, Not China, Not Iran, Not No. Korea. This is AMERICA.

except to avoid negotiations with the Dems.

And anything else that happens in D.C. is ALL on Trump. If he fires anymore people. If he destroys anymore departments.

If he turns our military on the citizens of this country as he has turned his alphabet soup of lettered agencies

This is a Trump/ GOP MAGA SHUTDOWN. It was Trump that canceled the meeting with Democratic leaders. It was Trump who refused to negotiate with them when he finally met at the last minute.

It was Mikey Johnson that sent the House home for no reason
