And 🪷

Indiana's statehouse just signed two bills that cannot survive being read in the same sentence. The first: public universities must now accept the Classic Learning Test for admissions. The CLT draws its questions from classical texts. Plato. Augustine. Cicero. Shakespeare. The argument is that these works represent the intellectual foundation of Western civilization and self-government. The second: public colleges must eliminate programs deemed to produce "low earning" graduates. No carve-out for humanities. No protection for the programs where students actually read and wrestle with those classical authors the first bill just elevated. Fort Wayne's Redeemer Classical School sent a representative to the statehouse to champion the CLT. Their students read Homer and Euclid. Their graduates will now test into universities that are legally required to accept their scores and simultaneously required to shut down the departments built around the tradition those scores are supposed to measure. You cannot champion the classics as a signal of intellectual seriousness and then eliminate the classrooms that make the ideas real. That is not education reform. That is a credential without a curriculum.

RFK Jr. isn’t a skeptic asking hard questions. He’s a con man dismantling the vaccine system that kept your kids safe for generations. Babies are back in ICUs with diseases that should be extinct. A federal judge called his appointees “distinctly unqualified.” This isn’t medical freedom, it’s straight up negligence. propublica.org/article/rfk-jr…

This local media merger will put one company in charge of TV stations reaching at least 60% of the households across the country! Not good! nbcnews.com/business/media…

This gentleman is going to go straight from making videos like this to voting for a $200 billion war supplemental.

This is actually happening. Welcome to Trump’s America.

Reminder: Trump’s Big Ugly Bill added more to the national debt than any other single piece of legislation in history—all so Bezos can buy another mega yacht.

Brandon Herrera, a candidate seeking to replace an embattled incumbent in Texas, owns a copy of “Mein Kampf,” poked fun at veterans’ suicide rates and claimed President Abraham Lincoln “didn’t free anybody.” House Republican leadership is still backing him. wapo.st/47GScMe

Not true Ted. Kansas adopted a version of the SAVE Act (need a passport or birth certificate), and it prevented 12% of eligible applicants (38,000) from registering to vote over two years before t was struck down. Thousands of nice, white, Christian and clean folks from Kansas were denied the right to vote..

@SenEricSchmitt Republicans think all voter disenfranchisement tactics are good for them, since Dems come out against them. That’s why they believed their mid-century gerrymandering would help them and hurt Dems. They better hope their newest bullshit doesn’t similarly backfire.

We are going to vote in person again. Mass mail voting is not some ancient inheritance of the American republic. In its current form, it is a modern phenomenon and in many places a direct holdover from the COVID-election-fever-dream. COVID is over. Pass the SAVE America Act.

NEW: Secretaries of state slammed the SAVE America Act, warning the bill would set off widespread chaos if it became law before the midterms. They also said Trump’s threats against elections need to be treated “like a bomb threat." democracydocket.com/news-alerts/st…

A federal panel approved a commemorative gold coin design featuring President Trump, endorsing the rare step of putting a living, sitting president on American money. on.wsj.com/3PjQhqG

@WSJ The silver… scratch that… gaudy gold lining is that the design is god awful and actually embarrassing, which is a perfectly symbolic way to commemorate this moment.

OMG. Steven Miller is personally picking adjudicators who he thinks will move to strip refugees of their status?! That is an unprecedented level of interference from the White House, and a chilling way in which government can be weaponized.

@MarcACaputo @ThatSeanKeenan @axios When every other court shoots down your legally indefensible cases, don’t fret… Your prosecutorial political retribution-based agenda marches on if you can just get your case on Aileen Cannon’s docket!

NEWS: James Comey has been subpoenaed in the wide-ranging "grand conspiracy" case against those who had investigated & prosecuted Trump from 2017-2024, @axios sources say More than 130 subpoenas have been issued by the Southern District of FL axios.com/2026/03/19/com…

Jared Kushner makes up for his flaws as an investor by being a wildly corrupt appendage of his father-in-law’s wildly corrupt administration. The U.S. becomes less safe and more corrupt every day Jared Kushner remains involved in our political system.

New KFF poll on expired ACA subsidies (among 2025 marketplace enrollees) —80% report higher health care costs —51% say "a lot" higher —28% switched plans, 9% went uninsured —78% say Congress was wrong to let funds expire —62% blame Trump or Republicans —14% blame Democrats

Doctors say that most serious childhood diseases are caused by viruses. A guy who eats dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says they are caused by radiation from 5G cell phone towers. For a busy parent, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Breaking: Jeff Bezos is in talks to raise $100 billion for a new fund that would buy manufacturing companies and use AI to automate them wsj.com/tech/jeff-bezo…

@WSJ @AmberWoods100 So much for the (very obviously) bullshit narrative the other tech billionaires have been pushing about AI only hurting female and liberal coded jobs while being an absolute boon for working class men.

Average NBA salary in 1976 when they could barely fill an arena was $130K... translates to $730K today #pennies
