School vouchers are a scam to send taxpayer money to private religious schools. Vouchers are also a violation of church and state.

The right is trying to deploy its usual terror tactics against Texas Democrats and the state of Illinois. It won’t work. With millions of people’s voting rights on the line, the stakes couldn’t be higher. This is the type of bravery and fight we need from Democrats:

The deployment of ICE, National Guard and Marines in LA—along with the prosecution of protesters—was never about public safety. It was manufactured propaganda, and now ICE is being exposed for it. Records show they lied in their testimonies and prosecutors are now facing “embarrassing” dismissals.
