If you want California to have even the slightest hope of a system with checks and balances, you must vote for @MichaelGatesESQ for Attorney General.

The Democrats control every single office and this is how fraud happens. The Attorney General is supposed to enforce the law.

Bonta is a crook.

[Carl Hendrick @C_Hendrick]

We hear a lot about the science of reading but is there a science of writing? There are a lot of bad ideas in this space but one idea that wider reading will, by itself, turn into good writing or that it's "caught not taught" is among the most widely held-beliefs in English teaching, but also very damaging because it excuses us from teaching writing explicitly.

The "caught not taught" absorption idea is to writing what whole language was to reading. The reading wars were a fight over whether decoding is caught or taught; the writing version of that fight is the same argument with the productive skill substituted for the receptive one.

Another important element is that writing ability is just assumed at secondary level and not taught explicitly. This is a mistake.

SCOTUS JUST PUBLISHED THE EXACT LIST OF RIGHTS PARENTS NOW HAVE IF A SCHOOL TRIES TO BLOCK THEM OUT

Not vague victories. Not "parents win somehow." NAMED PROTECTIONS. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS. School by school.

🇺🇸 Advance notice — schools must tell parents BEFORE exposing children to the challenged books
🇺🇸 Opt-out right — parents can excuse their children from that specific instruction
🇺🇸 Free Exercise protection — forcing children into lessons that "pose a very real threat of undermining" religious beliefs is unconstitutional
🇺🇸 Preliminary injunction — this is ACTIVE NOW, not pending a future ruling
🇺🇸 Montgomery County, MD — the specific district that started this must comply immediately
🇺🇸 4th Circuit overruled — the lower court that sided with the school board was reversed
🇺🇸 Elementary grades targeted — the ruling applies to the LGBTQ+-inclusive storybooks in elementary English classes
🇺🇸 Nationwide signal — any district with a no-opt-out policy on religious-conflict content now faces the same legal exposure
🇺🇸 Administrative burden — schools must build notification and opt-out systems before the 2025-2026 year begins
🇺🇸 Case continues — the injunction holds while the full lawsuit plays out in lower courts

💀 6-3 vote
💀 Majority: Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Barrett
💀 ZERO deference to the school board's "no opt-out" policy
💀 100% parental religious exercise — that is what the court protected

Every protection on this list belongs to parents. Not administrators. PARENTS.

Justice Sotomayor warned this "will be chaos for this Nation's public schools." These are the rights that caused that chaos.

I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨

I bucked all advice from my friends (and resisted my conservative bias) and decided to fully trust the Times journalists.

As they left my home they asked that I not talk to any other outlets and I insisted then and repeatedly over the following weeks that I would keep my word and only share this story with them.

But then the weeks dragged on. They kept coming back to us saying the editors needed more. I needed to go on the record (okay). We need more screenshots (okay). I met every bench mark they set, eager to provide more sources or evidence as needed.

After the story went up I began to ask them … wait, where are the stories from the other women? Where are their accusations of sexual assault? Why am I the focus? Why are there 11 paragraphs dedicated to detailing my work history (more than has been published about Graham’s by far)?

Why does it say “nobody could corroborate” when I offered them sources that COULD corroborate?

Why did they include an out of context quote from a friend joking “do not call Graham” after I called off my wedding? (Because she knew I would never).

Where were the screenshots they’d said they would use? Or the mention that I’d supported local democrats and that most of my family (and husband) are liberal?

The editors said it was too much, they explained.

The Times also failed to include any mention that I DID confide in multiple friends through the years that Graham had been abusive — long before he was running for office. Those friends confirm they told the Times so.

It dawned on me that this really was a set up all along. The journalists I trusted who convinced me to share a story I never wanted to tell methodically delayed and twisted this into a gift to the Platner campaign. Violating the trust of his victims. Shattering the trust I placed in them with the most vulnerable story of my life.

And at the end of my call with them I reluctantly accepted their insistence that this was still a powerful story and that I had done a brave thing. And I thanked them for all the hard work they had put into it.

Still fawning after all these years.

🚨 WOW! Scott Bessent just revealed the IRS has moved to make NGOs LIABLE for violent activity committed by their grant recipients like Antifa

George Soros has been put on NOTICE.

"The IRS is now giving guidance on the Form 990, which nonprofits they have to file. We are going to DEMAND that nonprofits know their grant recipients."

"So if a grant recipient is violent, if they are suppressing people's rights, then YOU are responsible for that."

As for the for the investigation into who is funding Antifa terrorism:

"We made substantial progress. And I think in the weeks and months ahead, we are going to have a lot to report."

[Eli Steele @Hebro_Steele]

I used to work at the post office in the Brentwood Country Mart. One day, I was helping a woman with many packages. Out of the blue, I hear a voice yelling at me. I look out the slotted window at this impossibly thin woman in pink pants and jacket that fit so impeccably on her, to the point it was ridiculous. She showed no regard for the other customers in line. She snapped at me again and sighed as if I was the biggest idiot. I couldn’t read her lips and I saw that she was holding a package in her arms. I said something like, I’ll help you after these customers. She snapped again. The woman I was helping finally spoke up and told the lady that I was deaf. That only pissed her off more and she put on her sunglasses and stormed out. Well, that’s my Jane Fonda story and, yes, we should judge people by how they treat others.

This is my parents’ house. This is why I’m running. This is coming for your home. It’s coming for your industry. If not by fire, then by blight, addicts, fraud, and the slow rot created by corrupt politicians like Karen Bass. Wake up and VOTE.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Rep. Tim Burchett just dropped straight FIRE

"They sell kids to get R*PED...people say, 'You don't want to hang these people!' The HELL I don't! Bring them out to the farm, and WE'LL take care of them. I am NOT kidding you!" 🔥

"We've got to start taking this stuff serious in this country, folks. The way the left and the, I guess we all are guilty of it. We try to sanitize it so it doesn't affect our psyche or our conscience, but the stuff's going on right now. It's going on in your community."

"We need to pay attention and we need to start enforcing our dadgum laws and quit electing these gutless wimps and, and putting these judges in that let these people walk and quit with all the being able to get out of these things and they get probation and all this other stuff."

"All they're going to do is offend again. And the people that are buying these kids to r*pe are just as guilty or worse than the others. END THEM ALL. That's what we've got to do!"

🚨 U.S. test scores are in a generation long freefall, reading scores just hit their LOWEST point since 1909.

The biggest drops are among the lowest-achieving kids. We’ve failed an entire generation.

Decades of federal bureaucracy, teachers’ unions protecting failure, and schools more worried about pronouns and DEI than reading, writing, and math. Throw in social media rotting their brains and you’ve got a perfect storm of stupidity.

Education Secretary Linda McMahon:

“The most important thing we can do for our children is make sure they can read and do math. We have failed them.”

The solution... ABOLISH THE TEACHER'S UNIONS

[Stacy A. Korsgaden @SKorsgaden]

Great interview. Lower energy costs will lower insurance costs too. As Insurance Commissioner I will welcome new companies into California! This will lower pricing and give more options to consumers!

[Kevin Kiley @KevinKileyCA]

The Washington Post Editorial Board agrees with me: the California bill targeting citizen journalists is a threat to the First Amendment and an attempt to conceal rampant fraud.

Honored to have the endorsement of John Phillips of KABC AM790! When trusted voices in Southern California media put Stacy on their ballot, it’s a reminder that real Californians know this system is broken and are ready for someone who will actually fix it.

Thank you, John. We won’t let California down.

I don’t use Canvas. White board, physical books, and college lined paper only.

This is one 8th grade class’s list following a warm-up question on Telos after spending the year on the following: To Kill a Mockingbird, Robinson Crusoe, Lord of the Flies, Much Ado About Nothing, learning a baker’s dozen of the greatest English language poems by heart including Wordsworth, Dickinson, Frost, Donne, Thomas, et al, and now considering a suite of Russian short stories by Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, and Chekov.

The tech is a distraction from THE IDEAS.
