A major win for any American who cherishes our religious liberty. Andrew Cuomo and Democrat elected officials have acted as totalitarians, using COVID19 to strip the people of NY of their fundamental right to worship. Today, the Court said enough is enough wsj.com/articles/supre…
This summer the Court wrongly ruled that a Nevada law discriminating against religion could stay in place. With #ACB, the Court was able to right that ruling today.
Yet again Chief Justice Roberts was willing to set aside his duty to enforce the Constitution when state or local leaders are hostile to religion under the guise of public health. But thankfully, this time he and the liberal justices lost.
As families celebrate #Thanksgiving today, they can also give thanks that they will be able to gather to pray during Christmas this year without fear of totalitarian Democrats who want to stop us from exercising our fundamental right to worship.

1/x Everyone agrees Tuesday’s debate was a train wreck. A major contributing fact was the moderator Chris Wallace, a registered Democrat, repeatedly interrupting to try to help Joe Biden. The next debate is set to be moderated by a former intern to...Joe Biden. (And Ted Kennedy.)
2/x This is NUTS. And no Republican should allow this bias to continue in future elections.
I propose 2 simple, fair rules for future debates:
(1) GOP primary debates should be moderated by people who actually vote in a GOP primary. (Not Dem journalists who want GOP to lose.)
3/x And (2) General election debates should be moderated by an equal number of GOP and Dems.
We should stop pretending obvious bias doesn’t exist. Instead, equalize & counter-balance it.
A debate moderated by, say Mark Levin & Chris Hayes would be better than fake impartiality.
1/x Fascinating article. Lots of editorial snark, but the underlying point is important: Trump EPA prioritizing cleaning up the air & water, and produced MUCH GREATER RESULTS in actually cleaning up the environment.
2/x “...has showed what it can look like when an administration gets serious about cleaning up long-neglected sites. Some of these activists are voting Republican for the first time in their lives. Some have seen their backyards and communities finally cleaned up...”
3/x “...because of the Trump administration’s EPA. ‘I’ve been a Democrat all my life,’ Worley-Jenkins says. ‘Trump actually gives us money to clean up these sites that have been here forever,’ she says. ‘Obama talked a lot of crap, but did very little...’”
2/x ...you’re engaged in propaganda. In the words of a former NYT editorial board member, “a new consensus has emerged...at this paper: that truth isn’t a process of collective discovery, but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few whose job is to inform everyone else.”
3/x Why should the false revisionist history not be used as the basis of K-12 education across the nation? Not because of “cancel culture,” which you support.
But because it wrong & deliberately deceptive. As your former board member put it, “history itself is one more...”
1/x Really disturbing text I just received from our pastor @GreggMatte He said I could share:
“Hey guys,
I’m back from DC.
Thought you would be interested ...
Getting from the White House to my hotel room at the JW Marriott last night was quite a feat. Protesters everywhere.”
2/x “They had us exit to the west and Uber had to drop me and a few other people three blocks away from the hotel. Thankfully Kelly was not with me. As we walked up to the JW Marriott (across from the Willard) a group of about 50 to 100 protesters were walking up...”
3/x “... the other side of the circle drive at the hotel. The lead one on a bike looked me in the eye and said ‘you better run.’ With a lot of expletives. Truly a scary experience for me. I was one of the last people that went into the Hotel...”
Tonight, the world grieves for the great John Lewis. In my 1st yr in the Senate, I had the privilege of traveling w/ John & much of the Congressional Black Caucus to Nelson Mandela’s funeral. The entire trip to Johannesburg, John regaled us w/ stories of being alongside Dr. King.
2/x One of the original Freedom Riders, John was a young man at the dawn of the Civil Rights movement & he survived a brutal beating on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma.
At age 23, he was a keynote speaker at the March on Washington, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
3/x To say he was an icon, to say he was a hero, understates it. He had a quiet grace, a passion for justice & an indomitable courage that helped transform this Nation.
I am blessed & humbled to have known John & to have heard his deep wisdom firsthand.
