Given the competition, it’s pretty impressive that Trump has somehow managed to hire his worst ever press secretary. Katie Zacharia is a fake lawyer, can barely read aloud, and has zero personality at the podium. The bar is so low it’s in hell.

The plaintiffs are represented by the Becket Fund whose board includes Leonard Leo, a longtime member of the Council for National Policy (CNP), the Christian Right’s umbrella organization. The CNP was co-founded by the late Gary North who explained the Christian schooling agenda as follows:

"Everyone talks about religious liberty, but no one believes it. So let us be blunt about it: we must use the doctrine of religious liberty to gain independence for Christian schools until we train up a generation of people who know that there is no religious neutrality, no neutral law, no neutral education, and no neutral civil government. Then they will get busy in constructing a Bible-based social, political, and religious order which finally denies the religious liberty of the enemies of God."

2. The White House responded to a detailed request for comment, but did not provide any evidence Zacharia was licensed to practice law, referring Popular Information back to a Truth Social post where Trump calls her an attorney.

Trump’s new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, claims she’s a lawyer. Is she?
There is no evidence Zacharia has ever been licensed to practice law — and the White House did not provide any

25 years ago I read that WWIII would be a propaganda war. I thought, "oh that's easy, we can just ignore the lies." We have over 100 million people dead in just the last 6 years. Over a billion in the last 20. I watch the genocide programs. It's insane how effective they are.

TY. The Rockbridge Network & NatCon are the big ones where we can confirm Peter Thiel backing. Thiel also seems to have a cozy relationship w/ Claremont. And a close Thiel/Vance associate is on the board of American Reformer. Thiel seems to have influence at the ISI & Hoover Institute as well.

For those pushing Dems to start making a stink about Elon's fundraising @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social is now doing that.
Josh Turek vs. Elon Musk.
Working-Class Underdog vs. World’s Richest Man. 🥊💥🥊

Who’s your money on?

For context: Elon Musk is unleashing a firehose of cash to boost vulnerable Republicans in the battle for the Senate majority, including my MAGA opponent here in Iowa.

Why’s he so focused on this race in particular, you ask?

Well, I’m what MAGA billionaires like Musk fear most:

A candidate who’s not a millionaire and isn’t trying to become one.
A leader with a well-calibrated moral compass and strength of character.
A senator who can’t be bought.
Basically, an honest and up-sitting public servant.
