1. On Tuesday, Texas PAC — a super PAC created by Senate GOP leadership — launched an outlandish new attack ad against James Talarico. The ad falsely accusing Talarico of wanting to incarcerate parents “if they do not support surgically transitioning their children.” This is a real ad:

Todd Blanche now says "one-sided news" is a national security threat worth barring the press over. That's not a legal standard. It's a viewpoint test. I didn’t go to law school…and didn’t need to, to know that the First Amendment exists to STOP government from judging which coverage is balanced.
