➡️ Texas is taking a page out of Kim Davis’s book as its Supreme Court rules that judges can refuse to marry same-sex couples. Plus, the state’s attorney general is suing the makers of Tylenol after RFK Jr. spread the conspiracy theory that acetaminophen causes autism.
We spoke with Illinois congressional candidate Kate Abughazaleh about the DOJ indicting her over an anti-ICE protest in Chicago. “If their goal was to silence me, they picked the wrong person,” she said.
Plus, Florida governor Ron DeSantis is pushing for a Turning Point USA chapter in every school, and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is bizarrely claiming that the government shutdown is NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s fault.
