Today, a federal judge blocked Louisiana's law requiring (a certain Protestant version of) The 10 Commandments be displayed in public school classrooms. Here's some helpful context from @1stForAll about the legality of that under the 1st Amendment ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Semiannual reminder that Veterans Day and Memorial Day are two different days, with two very different origins, that honor military service and sacrifices in two different ways.
Neither involve mattress sales.

This image is completely fabricated and manipulated and it never aired on any CNN platform.
Shayan Sardarizadeh@Shayan86
This fake screenshot of a CNN poll, which shows Kamala Harris ahead of Donald Trump by six points in Texas, has been viewed millions of times. CNN has no such poll from Texas and never aired those numbers. The image is doctored and the poll numbers are fake.

Are you allowed to take ballot selfies 🤳 on Election Day?
What about wearing a hat 🧢 supporting a candidate?
Or displaying a campaign sign 🪧 outside of your polling place?
Here's what you need to know about free speech at the polls.

@nicky_scarlotta Maybe it's time to ditch the Yanks and move full-time to Seattle to support the...2025 World Series Champions @Mariners! (Kidding. Kind of.)

Since stealing yard signs is in the news, worth remembering: that's not protected speech. And what else about political signs is not protected? Can the government regulate signs in your lawn and along highways without violating the 1st Amendment?

@scottpwaldman @ByTomFrank This is not "new." The Spokesman Review reported this in 2021. That's well documented.
spokesman.com/stories/2021/j…
Also well documented: Rep. McMorris Rogers' district (WA-05) was not the only WA district to support Trump. So did WA-03 + WA-04 (and 29 of WA's 39 counties).

NEW: Trump never distributed wildfire aid to Washington in 2020 after he battled with @GovInslee over climate/COVID policy. GOP Rep @cathymcmorris was also pleading for help. WA had to wait until Biden took office to receive funding. @ByTomFrank and me. eenews.net/articles/trump…

@orionds Oh, man. Wait until they find out about WA-03, WA-04 and, like, 29 WA counties! MIND = BLOWN

Upon reading this ~exclusive~ investigation, I saw this fairly stunning factual error.
WA-05, as anyone who has been to/googled Washington state could tell you, was not the only district to vote for Trump.

As @Jim_Brunner pointed out, @EmmaEpperly and I broke this story in the @SpokesmanReview in January 2021. No mention of our reporting in this Politico/E&E piece, which presents the fact that Trump blocked disaster assistance to fire victims as novel info. spokesman.com/stories/2021/j…

This is really interesting reporting. It was particularly really interesting in...2021 when @SpokesmanReview reporters @orionds + @EmmaEpperly reported it. Local reporting, FTW! (Would be cool if you noted that in your story, @scottpwaldman @ByTomFrank) spokesman.com/stories/2021/j…

My embarrassing @WSUPullman story is that I worked there a solid two months before I realized "French Admin" was the offices of WSU's president/admin, not the hq of what I just assumed was a very large French language department. #GoCougs

Eye-opening investigation from CNN about GOP + Dem fundraising tactics.
"One 82-year-old woman, who wore pajamas with holes in them because she didn’t want to spend money on new ones, didn’t realize she had given Republicans more than $350,000 ..."

The term "free expression" isn't in the 1st Amendment. But it is a core part. The ideas of free expression are found in the five 1A freedoms of religion, speech, press, assembly + petition. Learn more from @1stForAll

The last bellwether county isn't in Michigan or Pennsylvania. It's Clallam County, WA, on the scenic Olympic Peninsula. People there have voted for the winning president every year since 1980. @NWPBroadcasting + @NewsHour have this look ⬇️⬇️⬇️

As much as you may dislike that campaign sign on your neighbor's front lawn, political signs are protected by the First Amendment.
But that doesn't mean there aren't limits.
Here's what you need to know about what is (and isn't) allowed. bit.ly/42SmrvX

Folks in western US likely more aware of "Constitutional Sheriffs" movement. Regardless of where you are, this is a worthwhile read by @faruq_kiefer about Klickitat County, WA sheriff + his sworn volunteer posse. via @investigatewest
