A Litigation Playbook for Narrative Warfare

Eric Schmitt’s “The Last Line of Defense” casts courts as stages for political spectacle rather than forums for justice—and rewrites the evidentiary record along the way.

The most batshit thing about the Eric Schmitt's clown show yesterday was this: He thought that if Smith was ever in the same town as Fani Willis, it proved collusion. I knew of guilt by association -- but not guilt by geographic proximity :) To call him an idiot is to insult idiots.

I just got back from Wyoming, and I can't imagine crossing that country on foot in Nov. But in 1856, hundreds of American pioneers found themselves stranded there, freezing and starving. And a 29-year-old mail carrier named Ephraim Hanks decided to do something. This week's Story of Courage. 🇺🇸

"Thomas Jefferson worried that his slaves were to be given 'freedom and a dagger.' Yet when the descendants of his slaves gained their freedom, this did not come to pass. And when the civil rights movement broke the back of Jim Crow, the nation was not swept by mass purges of honkies and crackers."

Texas is now the first state to require all public school students to read religious texts. That new reading list includes nursery rhymes and Hamlet but only Christian and Jewish texts, despite about 1/3 of Texans belonging to neither of those religions.

The State's Bible-Only Reading List Is a Disservice to Texas Kids

A new required list doesn't meet the need to learn about the major religious traditions that make up Texas today—and it could impair public schools' ability to serve diverse populations.
