Over the weekend, shutdown-hampered @StateDept comms replied to my comment request: "Repeated prosecutions amount to target oppression and undermine both @PaiviRasanen's religious freedom and her right to freedom of expression." Legal defense assisted by @ADFIntl@ADFLegal
In yet another escalation of Europe's war on free speech, Finland's supreme court considers whether to punish a bishop and member of parliament for quoting the Bible. Lower courts cleared them of all charges.
“If you are in this country illegally, it is virtually impossible for you to live in this country and not commit additional legal violations—working without authorization, identity theft. There’s a lot of illegality that goes on when you are breaking the law.” @DHSGenCounsel
A lot of focus has been on how the lawfare Slotkin promised to young Trump staffers is bad for our country. While that is true, there are also legal implications to her comments that will make it harder for Democrats to defend their oversight of the Trump admin before the Supreme Court. I’ll explain below.

I'm no lawyer, but doesn't Indiana law ban making a "verbal statement... indicating support or opposition to a candidate... before election day within the office of the circuit court clerk... used as an absentee voter board"
I’m here in Lubbock, TX covering the Trump rally for @FDRLST. It’s only 12:30 p.m. but the line for the 6 p.m. event is already wrapped around the building.
My first car cost $1,500 and insurance as a new driver was $25/month (my brother’s was $50/month). $20 to fill up. The cost of these for my 16yo today is at least triple. Other parents recently advised us to wait for a license until 18 due to costs.
“You have so many problems with insurance, in large part, by the way, also related to mass uncontrolled migration with tons of illegal drivers on the roads, which cause insurance costs to just go way up....It's not just about the kids not wanting to get out there and do things. There are also some pretty serious structural issues that the adults have caused problems with as well” -@MZHemingway
@Unofficialpeds@MrMaitra The bar is so low even kids schooling themselves can beat it. But I believe that in most (not all) cases being guided by a master accelerates one’s learning more than self-study. The problem is masters are now hard to find because the pipeline is poor.
Florida’s Angie Nixon becomes the latest Democrat Senate candidate to pledge support for packing the Supreme Court. Tells Politico she “absolutely” supports the radical proposal.
The Somali defense minister has released a statement in support of Ilhan Omar: "We share the same ethnicity, blood, and religion. She is one of our own."
@FDRLST I wouldn’t take my kids to the Cheesecake Factory because that would cost us a week’s worth of groceries—to them eating out anywhere, even to get ice cream at Culver’s, is a rare treat.
“[Democrats] have done much more poorly with those voters. And Barack Obama himself seems to care so much about elite opinion, which is how that design happened in Chicago. That's the kind of design for his museum that elitists think is really beautiful and is actually not. And so I think that this is another issue that Democrats have to think about, if they're going to be actually for the working man or not.” @MZHemingway
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar writes in her memoir, “I was eight years old when civil war broke out in Somalia. One day everything was okay, and the next, there were bullets piercing not only buildings but also people.” While Somalia has suffered several civil wars, the chapter is entitled, “War: 1989-1991, Mogadishu, Somalia.” Mogadishu experienced severe riots in July 1989, including a mass execution that became known as the “Jazeera beach massacre.”
If, in her own words in her own autobiography, Omar was eight when this occurred in 1989, then she was born in 1981, and was 19 years old in the year 2000, when her father purportedly obtained his citizenship, not 1982 as she currently claims.
My children wake up and immediately start practicing piano and cello while waiting for breakfast. It drives me insane but I can’t complain because practicing is good and makes them better. 🤦🏼♀️
