It's unacceptable to teach kids about racism.

“And so the work that I do is trying to come up with creative policy ideas to stop that, to turn back the tide, to figure out ways that conservatives can protect these institutions or build new institutions.”

To understand the Trump administration’s vision for American education, @megomatz.bsky.social and I studied dozens of hours of political appointees’ speeches and podcasts and essays. What emerged is a desire to dismantle the nation’s system of public schools.

Under Trump, the Department of Education has been bringing in activists hostile to public schools. It could mean a new era of private and religious schools boosted by tax dollars — and the end of publ...

Interesting. Byrne chooses to default rather than be interviewed or go through discovery.
Two tweets: Karen Piper @PiperK · 9m This story is nuts. Patrick Byrne has been on the run from Hunter Biden since 2023. “Defendant is a billionaire who ignores court orders while concealing his assets overseas or in cryptocurrencies specifically created to evade governmental authority." Josh Gerstein @joshgerstein JUST IN: Overstock founder Patrick Byrne formally defaulted by court in libel suit Hunter Biden brought against him. Biden lawyers to propose size of default judgment in coming weeks. Earlier: Hunter Biden seeks arrest of former Overstock CEO in defamation case.

Apparently the Texas National Guard is being deployed at the Chicago ICE facility tonight.

I hope everyone stays home, and the Guard is bored and feel foolish for being there.

Make no mistake. This nonsense about Antifa is directly tied to the 2026 and 2028 elections. It’s the “crisis” they will use as justification to shut down key voting centers.

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

Whether you're a Democrat or Republican, you probably privately agree on this much:

Trump and his lawyers—Bondi and Patel—are ACTING like the Epstein Files include smoking-gun evidence of Trump raping kids.

They are ACTING like a domestic military escalation is worth distracting us from the Files.

Maybe a follow-up question could have been "Trump has improperly used his office to punish people he doesn't like--but I don't like these people either, so it's okay." MAGA digs hate and fear.
