Fake quote, boys. JQA never said it. It was said ABOUT him by an author named John Wingate Thornton in 1860. Call David Barton and get your money back.

Actually that phrase was invented in 1954 - which was 167 years after the constitution was signed. 👍

Thousands of women are being raped in Iranian prisons, and they want me to care that some entitled soccer players had to take a private jet 4 hours away!?

Famous libtard Ulysses S. Grant:
“Leave the matter of religion to the family circle, the church, and the private school, supported entirely by private contribution. Keep the Church and State forever separate.”

—Address to the Army of the Tennessee, Des Moines, September 29, 1875

Elias's comparison is the one worth sitting with. When Bill Clinton briefly boarded Loretta Lynch's plane on a Phoenix tarmac in 2016 and they talked about grandchildren and golf - no documented request, no documented outcome, a conversation - the media treated it as a scandal that required weeks of coverage. Trump stood at a podium in Pennsylvania, described personally calling a federal prosecutor to investigate an election while his preferred candidate was losing, and the Pennsylvania federal prosecutor was sitting in the audience being publicly thanked. Elias: none of the reporters present found this worthy of a question.

The normalization that allows that to happen is not benign. When the president describes using the federal prosecution apparatus to intervene in a state election and it registers as a moment of rally color rather than a constitutional question, the mechanism that would otherwise produce accountability has been eroded. That erosion is itself the story underneath the story.

A gallon of water was wasted on this, and it's worth it.

@MatrixMysteries Muslims plan to make the law once they achieve political power. @AmyMek @laralogan

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

In Egypt, Copt Christians, the descendants of ancient Egypt, are humiliated and forced to work as garbage collectors.

They are denied most forms of employment and called “Garbage People”, because Muslims consider Christians dirty.

This is life for Christians under Islamic rule.

[John Harwood @JohnJHarwood]

here's the problem:

Like Trump, Hegseth is a TV clown of low character - best known for drunkenness, cruelty, sexual infidelity to his wives, misogyny, and racism.

Adm McRaven is a brilliant military commander of high character.

High-character commanders expose Hegseth's rot.

Hope they’re explaining the sixth or seventh properly in relation to our leaders.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

NEW: Texas becomes the first state to require students to read the Bible as part of the literature curriculum. In a 9–5 vote, the State Board of Education approved the new standards, affecting all 5.5 million public school students.

“We are bringing the Bible back into schools this week for the first time in 60 years,” SBOE member Brandon Hall said.

DHS is preparing to blast canyons & bulldoze roads through thousands of years of human history along the Rio Grande in Big Bend National Park—where virtually nobody is crossing.

In Arizona, just a month ago, they destroyed a 1,000-year-old sacred site and faced no consequences.

[Jenna Johnson @Jenna_DC]

Trump in March when asked who would pay to change the pathway from his home to office from Tennessee flagstone to polished African granite: “Paid for by me.”

Documents obtained by @michaelscherer: Paid for by National Park Service — and taxpayers.

Hot take: I don’t think you actually want this.

If you open the door for one religion to be taught in public schools, you also open the door for every other religion to be taught as well.

Leave education to the teachers.
Leave religion to the parents.

Otherwise, don’t be surprised when your child is taught from the Quran, or when a woke teacher with a completely different worldview presents their version of who God is.

Better yet, homeschool your children.

MYTH: Healthcare fraud only happens in blue states like California. 

FACT: Trump’s OWN DOJ just released a report finding the TOP 2 STATES for fraud in recent enforcement actions are led by Republican Governors!

[Voters For Animal Rights @theanimalvoters]

Gracie was born in a breeding facility that sells wild animals as pets — and possibly to be shot in canned hunts.

She escaped. If she's caught, she could be sold right back into that pipeline.

She chose to run. That choice deserves to mean something.

Demand Gracie goes to an accredited sanctuary — not back to a breeding facility. 🦒

[ATF HQ @ATFHQ]

ATF is proposing to clarify protections for the interstate transportation of firearms by lawful owners. The update would formally recognize that routine travel activities, such as overnight stops, refueling, vehicle maintenance, emergency stops, and medical needs, are part of lawful “transport” under the Firearms Owners’ Protection Act. It also updates rules for ammunition and accessories and clarifies secure storage requirements during transit. Read the proposal and comment at https://t.co/igoHJLTmjr. #NewEra
