@AlexCTaliadoros@charlesallen The biggest issue confronting ticket buyers is dynamic pricing and ticket hold backs. For smaller venues this hopefully will be enforced.
In my new City Cast DC column, I seek to make sense of the Trump Fourth, an over-the-top extravaganza for which the president has essentially shut down the city, closing streets and fencing off huge chunks of the capital. It's not for us; it's for him. https://t.co/e39Fb5fN7e
🚨 White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt today:
“Our nation was founded, almost 250 years ago, on Judeo-Christian values.”
The Treaty of Tripoli. 1797. Signed by Founding Father John Adams. Ratified unanimously by the Senate:
“The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.”
Thomas Jefferson — who wrote the Declaration of Independence — was a deist who literally cut the miracles out of his Bible.
James Madison — the father of the Constitution — explicitly warned against the “diabolical hell conceived principle of persecution” by state religion.
The First Amendment’s opening words:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.”
