As recently as a decade ago, legal experts thought the prospect of direct #public #funding for #religious public charter #schools was a long shot. But after a series of rulings by #SCOTUS & a careful legal & political campaign by #Catholic ofcls, #conservative attorneys & #Republican ofcls, the idea is on the cusp of becoming a reality.
Attorney D. John Sauer made his debut as #Trump’s solicitor general in court Wednesday.

even CNBC's #MAGA-loving host Joe Kernen isn't buying Rep. Jason Smith's lies about what the #Republican reconciliation bill will do to the #deficit
@acemaxxanalytics
Negative performance for all #Republican presidents (except #Trump 2017) but positive for all Democrats.
#MAGA #USA
#Republican members of #Congress are lying at their town halls but their #constituents aren’t having it
@MAKS23 Demands from a #republican administration that is falling like a stone in the CPI corruption index --- in tone with the demands for #Ukraine (placed 105 on corruption) to capitulate to #russia placed 154 on the same index. And in tone with the carrots for russia, the stick for Ukranians. Make it make sense. #LockHimUp #usa
#kansas may be a red state but there are blue dots here. #trump, #musk and the #republican party are wrecking the country and need to be removed from power.
Everyone should #resist !
#Republican Representative’s #TownHall Blows up in His Face
by Edith Olmsted
Mon, April 28, 2025
"Republican Representative Mike Lawler wanted to impose order during his town hall Sunday, but no amount of rule-setting could have spared him from the fury of his constituents.
"The New York Republican displayed a list of guidelines outside Clarkstown South High School in West Nyack, New York, where he was hosting his first town hall of the year.
"The list required attendees to provide proof of residency in New York’s 17th district, prohibited 'shouting, screaming, yelling or standing,' and encouraged them to 'be respectful of one another, of staff, and of the congressman.'
"But in the end, Lawler still faced tough criticism over his deference to President Donald #Trump—often in the form of shouting and insults.
" 'What are you doing to stand in opposition to this administration? And what specifically are you doing that warrants the label ‘moderate?’ asked one constituent, a video on X showed, as the crowd of roughly 700 people erupted into cheers.
" 'My record speaks for itself—' Lawler began, sending the audience into raucous laughter and jeers. As Lawler continued to limply defend his supposedly moderate record—ProPublica has found that he voted in line with MAGA Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene 81 percent of the time—his constituents refused to quiet their anger.
" 'Folks, if you want me to answer the questions, let the question be asked, and then listen to the answer,' Lawler said. 'If you’re just going to yell back and forth, the time is gonna run pretty quick.'
"Lawler told his constituents who had expressed concern about Trump’s escalating trade war and 'reciprocal tariff' policy that the president was simply responding to an 'affordability crisis.'
" 'What caused record inflation? Five trillion dollars in new spending in the first two years of the Biden administration is what gave us record inflation,' Lawler said, drowned out by the sounds of booing from the crowd.
"Constituents also expressed anger about the president’s inhumane #deportations and his attacks on U.S. #universities and colleges, Secretary of Defense Pete #Hegseth’s mounting scandals, and concerns that Republicans were planning to make major cuts to #SocialSecurity and #Medicaid."

In case anyone needs a refresher as to how we arrived at this point, the trouble began in earnest in January. With just 3 days remaining before his presidential inauguration, #Trump found time to launch one last post-election #grift: Without explanation or defense, the #Republican & his family started selling a #cryptocurrency token.
It still seems hard to believe, but in the last #Congress, the #House #Republican majority formally launched an #impeachment inquiry against Joe #Biden. The endeavor never made any sense, but the underlying allegation was that the Democratic president was somehow the beneficiary of a weird #bribery scheme.

"At this time, the scope of the #NCA6 is being evaluated in accordance with the Global Change Research Act of 1990," the email said, referring to the #legislation that kickstarted the assessments signed by #Republican President George H.W. Bush.
The #climate assessment had been overseen by the Global Change Research Program, which the #Trump admin dismissed earlier this month, & had coordinated input from 14 #FederalAgencies & hundreds of external scientists.
#Musk lays groundwork for big #donor role in #midterm elections as time with #DOGE *ends*

The only way to punish DOGE for this is to give the Democratic Party control of Congress. We need to keep trying to push the #republican party out.
