Dear Speaker Johnson, Please don't make stuff up. The prayer that you read in the House Chamber today was not written by Thomas Jefferson and your claim that he recited it "every day" is false. Please use credible sources, not your discredited pal David Barton. See monticello.org/research-edu...

1/ Jon makes the mistake of believing that the First Amendment issues with KOSA have been resolved, leaving no principled reason for opposing it. But that's just not true. KOSA remains a free speech nightmare, and presuming anyone opposing it must have a financial incentive is deeply disingenuous.

LOL the Washington Post replaced its archive search tool with an AI that tries to summarize the archive ahead of delivering any actual stories, and which only ranks its findings by "relevance," with no option to rank them by date

#HR9495 will be voted on again tmrw, 11/21—The bill would hand the incoming President a tool to crush free speech & expression & dismantle advocacy groups & other nonprofits. It *will* be used to target & punish political opponents. Tell yr Reps to vote NO on #HR9495 action.aclu.org/send-message...
