I just saw a clip of Marco Rubio blowing smoke about how the US is defending itself against “narco-terrorists” and how this is every bit the same as Europeans defending themselves. It’s a huge lie. He knows it. All you have to do is look at his dead face.

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this. Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

The acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York and two top Justice Department officials in Washington, D.C., resigned after the case against New York City's mayor war order dropped.
