You know what never crossed state lines? Filburn’s wheat. Yet here we are.
This tweet is blowing up a bit today (while I was blowing leaves and at Costco). So I'll add here a related suggestion. Roscoe Filburn needs to be remembered and eventually vindicated.
Someone should start an "Interstate Commerce Clause" account. The primary function would be to just reply to members of Congress & the President "I don't authorize this" for about 90% of what they propose to do.
I'm told that it's customary when one has a viral tweet to shamelessly shill for something.
So may I recommend my wife's state trees or other watercolors? No confirmation a Buckeye was growing on Roscoe Filburn's Ohio farm but they're on sale in Nov. etsy.com/shop/SamanthaM…

We are approaching the end of the Supreme Court’s term with 2 opinions remaining Thursday – the AZ Voting Rights case and the AFPF v Bonta case. Quick thread on Bonta and the common misinformation you'll see about the case.
Some say this an “election” or “campaign finance” case. It is not. AFPF is a 501(c)(3). AFPF cannot, and does not, spend $ on political campaigns. As noted in the QP, this case only addresses the 1A issues “outside the election context – as called for by NAACP v Patterson.”
"Given the potential for abortion to become a tool of
eugenic manipulation, the Court will soon need to confront
the constitutionality of laws like Indiana’s."
CT: "This case highlights the fact that abortion is an act rife
with the potential for eugenic manipulation. From the
beginning, birth control and abortion were promoted as
means of effectuating eugenics."
CT: "Planned Parenthood
founder Margaret Sanger was particularly open about the
fact that birth control could be used for eugenic purposes."
