Twenty-six paragraphs into this, we learn that the lead author is an attorney who has a major tax case in front of SCOTUS next term. Justice Alito met with him for several hours. https://t.co/2AkWDQnXYN
@RepAndyHarrisMD Which agency would enforce this rule?
The Department of Education seems the most likely. But if the GOP had its way, that might be on its way out.
Why? Because education should be *ahem*—“locally controlled”.
Or maybe you’d send heavily-armed USBP agents like with Elián González?
@RepAndyHarrisMD And some follow-up questions:
Will these rules apply to private (and religious) schools that accept vouchers, or only public schools?
Because I could imagine some (but not all, unfortunately) Christian schools taking Jesus’s words in Matthew 25:31-46 literally.
@RepAndyHarrisMD Thanks for confirming that you’re the type of person who would punch down on—and spread lies about—a very small minority of people trying to make sense of an unimaginably difficult circumstance just so that you can score some political points.
@RepAndyHarrisMD “When I go into my district…”
When do you go into your district? I don’t remember the last time you were in Harford County for a public event.
@elizabeth_joh@romanmars I have so many questions about the SCOTUS and the impact of their various recent rulings, but this topic especially is killing me. Please do a WRMCLACL podcast episode about this.
I’m jonesing for a new episode anyway. I love that show!
The fact that the Supreme Court allegedly violated Article III of the Constitution by deciding a case based on hypotheticals and a fabricated name and we are barely hearing anything in the media regarding this anymore is beyond comprehension.
This goes against the principle that the Court's jurisdiction is limited to actual cases and controversies.
Recently, the Court ruled in favor of a Christian graphic artist, Lorie Smith, who claimed her freedom of speech allowed her to refuse to design wedding websites for same-sex couples.
The case included a reference to a supposed request made by an individual named Stewart, which turned out to be fabricated. Stewart, who is not gay and has been married to a woman for 15 years, was surprised to see his name used in this context.
Moms for Liberty is a highly influential, highly controversial Republican-affiliated organization that fights to ban vaccine mandates, critical race theory, and gay rights from schools. The Onion outlines everything you need to know about Moms for Liberty. https://t.co/jxrh4e02XP
@RepAndyHarrisMD Dear 🍌Requblicans:
We give up.
All we wanted was a house, a good-paying job, and financial stability—the American Dream. We were told that education was the way to achieve that. So we went to college.
We understand now that makes us the assholes.
Sincerely, the Middle Class

@RepAndyHarrisMD@RepOgles Hold up: You (well, not *you*, Mr. Co-sponsor) titled a bill “Keep Our Kids Safe” and it has nothing to do with stopping the murder of children in schools?
9 kids have been killed *at school so far this year*.
How many have been killed by drag performers in the last 100 years?
