NEW: Texans spent decades steadily tearing down the church-state wall, claiming it is a myth meant to obscure America's true Christian roots. Now, Trump is helping them export their playbook nationally. The result: A federal bureaucracy remade in their Christian nationalist image. (Gift link)

Texans Spent Decades Tearing Down the Church-State Wall. Now They Have Trump’s Ear.
Dan Patrick calls the separation of church and state a lie and has worked to infuse Christianity into Texas institutions. Trump is helping him take that strategy nationwide.

Darline Graham is a "historically WEAK candidate" according to her opponent Annie Andrews, the Democratic trying to flip South Carolina's Senate seat blue. "The Senate seat does not belong to the Graham family. It doesn't belong to one political party and it doesn't belong to a president."

Former “free speech” crusaders have ushered in an unprecedented campaign of censorship in Texas universities, resulting in pulitzer winning books being banned, medical and scientific facts being suppressed, and entire fields of study deemed “woke” being eliminated www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...
Over the past decade, some conservatives have invoked principles of academic freedom and free speech in order to subvert both. These conservatives mocked “snowflakes” and “trigger warnings,” and then passed legislation making it illegal to hurt white students’ feelings by discussing historical or contemporary events. They invoked academic freedom and then began erasing fields of study they found politically inconvenient. They railed against “indoctrination,” and then argued that the state is entitled to control everything said in the classroom.

Donald Trump has asserted the right to jail millions of people who've never been charged with a crime, without bond, for the duration of their immigration proceedings, which can take years to resolve. One circuit judge said Japanese internment was "limited in scope in comparison." Will SCOTUS agree?
