WWW.FOXNEWS.COMDems warn House Republicans will pay price at ballot box for passing Trump's 'big beautiful bill'EXCLUSIVE As House GOP leaders advance President Donald Trumps so-called "big, beautiful bill" toward a floor vote this week, Democrats, who are in the minority, are sounding a warning."Were going to hold Republicans accountable and there will be a price to pay," Rep. Suzan DelBene of Washington State, the chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, emphasized as she pointed to next year's midterm elections during a Fox News Digital interview.Republicans are holding onto an extremely razor-thin majority in the chamber right now, and Democrats only need a three-seat pickup to win back the House majority in the 2026 elections.Additionally, they view the sweeping and controversial GOP-crafted measure stocked full of Trump's second-term priorities on tax cuts, immigration, defense, energy and the debt limit which is currently making its way through numerous votes and hurdles in the House as political ammunition.INCHING CLOSER: HOUSE SPEAKER JOHNSON REACHES TENTATIVE AGREEMENT WITH SOME HOLDOUT GOP LAWMAKERS"This is a terrible piece of legislation," DelBene argued.Democrats from across the party are shining a spotlight on the Republicans' restructuring of Medicaid, the nearly 60-year-old federal government program that provides health insurance for roughly 71 million adults and children with limited incomes."Lets be clear, all Republicans are talking about right now is how many people and how fast theyre going to take away healthcare. They have these huge cuts to Medicaid, 14 million people lose healthcare across the country, and theyre talking about how fast they can do that," DelBene charged on Tuesday.She claimed that House Republicans are "all blindly following the president and going to blindly follow him off the cliff."Rep. Ted Lieu of California, another member of the House Democrat leadership, argued as he took questions from reporters that the bill "has the largest cut to healthcare in U.S. history."GOP HOLDOUTS UNMOVED BY TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL' TRIP TO CAPITOL HILLThe cuts to Medicaid, being drafted in part as an offset to pay for extending Trump's 2017 tax cut law, which is set to expire later this year, include a slew of new rules and regulatory requirements for those seeking coverage. Among them are a new set of work requirements for many of those seeking coverage."When you go across the country and talk to folks, folks are outraged, and theyre scared. Theyre scared about the cuts to healthcare, not only cutting 14 million people off of healthcare but then raising costs beyond that for everyone and things like rural hospitals closing," DelBene argued. "This would have devastating impacts across the country. This is policy that Republicans are fighting for, cutting nutrition health programs so that families dont even have healthy food."House Republicans push back against the Democrats' attacks and say what they are doing is putting an end to waste, fraud and abuse currently in the Medicaid system, so the program can work for the public in the way that it was intended.They call any talk that they are cutting aid to mothers, children, people with disabilities and the elderly a "flat out lie."FIRST ON FOX: THESE REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS SAY THEY STAND UNITED IN SUPPORT OF TRUMP'S ONE BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILLDelBene countered, saying, "were not buying the argument because what weve seen in committee, what theyve written down on paper is massive cuts in healthcare and all to pay for tax breaks for the wealthiest in our country. This isnt a bill about helping working families. This bill is devastating for working families."However, her counterparty, Rep. Richard Hudson of North Carolina, the chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee, told Fox News Digital in a statement that "Republicans are ending waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicaid so the most vulnerable get the care they need."Additionally, Hudson argued that "Democrats are lying to protect a broken status quo that lets illegal immigrants siphon off billions meant for American families. Were strengthening Medicaid for future generations by protecting taxpayers and restoring integrity."Dating back to last year's presidential campaign, Trump has vowed not to touch Medicaid. On Tuesday, as he made a rare stop on Capitol Hill to meet behind closed doors with House Republicans in order to shore up support for the bill, Trump's message to fiscally conservative lawmakers looking to make further cuts to Medicaid was "don't f--- around with Medicaid."While there are divisions between Republicans over Medicaid, and a chasm between the two major parties over the longstanding entitlement program, there is one point of agreement this issue will continue to simmer on the campaign trail in one form or another long after the legislative battles on Capitol Hill are over.0 Comments 0 Shares 47 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMHow to remove your personal info from people-search sitesRemoving your personal information from people-search sites can feel pretty overwhelming. There are hundreds of these sites in the U.S. alone. In fact, the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse says there are over 500 companies that collect and sell personal information.At first, it might seem impossible to get your details removed from all of them. But here's the good news: You don't need to tackle every single site. Your information isn't on all 500-plus sites.With a bit of time and persistence, you can remove your info from the major ones, and every removal really counts. Let me show you exactly how to do it yourself.JOIN THE FREE "CYBERGUY REPORT": GET MY EXPERT TECH TIPS, CRITICAL SECURITY ALERTS AND EXCLUSIVE DEALS, PLUS INSTANT ACCESS TO MYFREE "ULTIMATE SCAM SURVIVAL GUIDE" WHEN YOU SIGN UP!The process will be easier if you have a list of people-search sites that have your personal information. Not only can you check them off as you go, but you'll also need a list for the last step. The easiest place to start is with afree scan that some data removal services provide. These scans automatically check a ton of people-search sites for your personal information and send you a report. You can also search for your full name on Google. This will probably bring up a mix of results, including your social media profiles.THINK YOU CAN DELETE YOUR DATA YOURSELF? HERE'S WHY YOU'RE PROBABLY WRONGThe bigger your online presence, the more search results you'll likely have to sift through to find the people-search sites. I recommend searching for your name together with other personal details, like your email, phone number or home address. For some reason, this is more likely to bring up people-search sites, different ones depending on the combination of personal details you try. You may not be able to find all the people-search sites that have your info like this, though. You should also check any state-specific people-search sites, likeStateofFlorida.com, and search all of the most popular people-search sites like:Keep in mind that many smaller or niche sites exist, especially those that are state or region-specific. These sites can be harder to find but may still have your information. Using scanning tools or data removal services can help uncover these less obvious listings.Every people-search site has its own opt-out process, but most of them will require you to do something like this:TOP 20 APPS TRACKING YOU EVERY DAYMany sites require email verification. Using your regular email can expose it to spam or further data collection. Creating a dedicated or alias email address just for these requests helps protect your primary inbox and keeps things organized. Also, using various email aliases makes it so you don't have to worry about all your info getting taken in a data breach.An email alias address is a great way for you to stop receiving constant spam mail by simply deleting the email alias address.See my review of the best secure and private email services here.If a site requires phone verification, consider using a secondary number to avoid exposing your personal phone number. Services likeGoogle Voice can provide you with a secondary number that you can use for online activities, keeping your primary number private. The process should take between five and 20 minutes for each site on your list, depending on how difficult they make it for you. But once you submit the request, removal is usually pretty quick. Your information should be off the site within 24 hours to a week, though it can sometimes take up to 30 days.People-search sites aren't the only places your info can pop up. Sometimes your personal info appears directly in Google search results, pulled from public records or other sites. If you find sensitive info in Google results, you can request removal through Google's own removal tools, especially if the info includes things like your Social Security number, bank account info or images you don't want to be public. This is a separate process, but it is worth doing alongside removing info from people-search sites.THINK YOU CAN DELETE YOUR OWN DATA? WHY IT'S HARDER THAN YOU THINKEven after you remove your info, there's a good chance it'll show up again. People-search sites constantly scrape public records and other databases to refresh their listings. Some sites offer "suppression lists" you can add your name to, but it's not a perfect system. Small changes, like a slightly different address, a new phone number or a missing middle name, can slip past their filters and pop up as a "new" profile.The best way to stay on top of it is to set a reminder to recheck the main people-search sites every few months and repeat the opt-out process when needed. Maintaining a detailed tracker or spreadsheet with the sites you've contacted, dates and confirmation info can make this easier and help you avoid missing any sites.HOW TO GET RID OF ROBOCALLS WITH APPS AND DATA REMOVAL SERVICESThere is still no federal data privacy law in the U.S. that grants everyone the automatic right to opt out of people-search sites. However, the landscape is changing quickly at the state level. As of 2025, at least thirteen states have passed comprehensive privacy laws that give residents stronger opt-out rights, including:If you live in one of these states, you now have a much stronger legal footing to demand that people-search sites remove your information. Many of these laws require companies to honor requests to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal data, and some even require businesses to respect browser-based global opt-out signals. But even if you don't live in one of these states, you should still submit removal requests. Most people-search sites do not filter opt-out requests by state; they generally process any request they receive to avoid potential legal issues, regardless of your location.Removing your data manually takes real time and commitment, especially since you have to keep doing it to stay off these sites. That's why many people turn to personal data removal services. Instead of going site by site yourself, a service can automatically send removal requests on your behalf, track the responses and re-request removals if your data reappears later.While no service promises to remove all your data from the internet, having a removal service is great if you want to constantly monitor and automate the process of removing your information from hundreds of sites continuously over a longer period of time.Check out my top picks for data removal services here.Manual removal is free and gives you full control, but it takes time and requires ongoing effort. Automated services cost money but save you time, handle rechecks and can catch new listings faster. Choose what best fits your budget and privacy needs. If you follow these steps and stay consistent, you can take back control of your personal information online. It might take some work, but every removal counts toward protecting your privacy.Do you think it should be your job to constantly remove your info from people-search sites or should companies and lawmakers be doing more to protect your privacy?

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMBiden Education Dept put priority on pronouns, left backlog of nearly 200 antisemitism complaints: officialLimited civil rights enforcement resources were prioritized to resolve cases related to pronoun usage and alleged book banning under the Biden administration, while hundreds of civil rights cases pertaining to antisemitism went unresolved, according to a senior Education Department official who spoke to Fox News Digital.Almost 200 antisemitism complaints filed with the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights (OCR), either in the early evaluation stages or in later investigatory stages, were left unresolved under the Biden administration, according to the official.More than 150 of those unresolved complaints, according to the official, were filed after Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack that killed nearly 1,200 innocent people and sparked an Israeli military campaign in Gaza that led to an uptick in anti-Israel sentiment across the United States, especially on college campuses."The Biden administration placed an undue burden on OCR by stretching the scope of civil rights law beyond its statutory purview," said Julie Hartman, a Department of Education spokesperson. "The Trump OCR is cleaning that up daily. Byenforcing the law as it is written, the Trump administrations OCR isusing its personnel and resources responsibly and eliminating wasteful and unfounded investigations."DOJ LAUNCHES INVESTIGATION INTO BLUE STATE CITY OVER ALLEGED RACE-BASED HIRINGSo far, the Trump administration has dismissed at least 11 complaints related to so-called "book bans" across the country, which alleged that school districts' removal of content deemed by parents as age-inappropriate violated students' civil rights.The Trump administration also reversed the Biden administration's decision to include "gender identity" within the scope of Title IX and instructed educational institutions receiving federal funds to halt the continuance of what the Trump administration has called racially discriminatory diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives."[The Biden administration] expanded the sex-based protections of Title IX to include gender identity, thereby creating a whole avenue of issues, such as pronoun misgendering cases, which would be pursued by OCR investigators as possibly constituting discrimination," Hartman said. "Similarly, the previous administrations OCR stretched Title VI to its breaking point by claiming DEI, which is often racially discriminatory, was consistent with Title VI, incentivizing educational institutions to double down on DEI programming and policies lest they risk meritless Title VI investigations."CIVIL RIGHTS OFFICIALS PROBE 4 US MEDICAL SCHOOLS OVER ANTISEMITISM AT 2024 COMMENCEMENT CEREMONIESUnder Biden, civil rights officials also let a complaint against transgender swimmer Lia Thomas languish without any resolution, the senior agency official confirmed. In March 2022, Thomas became the first transgender woman swimmer to win a Division I national championship after tying a biologically female opponent, setting off a firestorm over whether transgender athletes should be allowed to compete in women's sports.Shortly after taking office, Trump signed an executive order withholding federal funding from any schools allowing biological males, such as Thomas, to compete in women's sports.Trump also signed an early executive order to combat the rise in antisemitism since Oct. 7, 2023, and established a Justice Department task force to help hold educational institutions accountable. In March, the Education Department announced it had sent letters to 60 institutions of high education warning them of potential civil rights violations if they do not adequately protect their Jewish students as required under Title VI.Meanwhile, the Trump administration's effort to dismantle the Department of Education has led critics to claim its civil rights enforcement, in particular related to students with disabilities, has tanked.But according to a senior OCR attorney, the Trump administration's disability-related OCR resolutions have been on par with the pace of the previous administration.So far, since the Trump administration took over, more than 200 disability-related complaints have been opened, the official indicated. The administration has also closed 100 disability-related civil rights cases filed with the Education Department since Trump's inauguration in January.0 Comments 0 Shares 62 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMFlorida Sen Moody rolls out measure to expedite removal of criminal illegal immigrantsFIRST ON FOX: Sen. Ashley Moody will roll out a measure on Wednesday that will expedite the removal of criminal illegal immigrants from the United States involved in gangs, foreign terrorist organizations or convicted of any felony on U.S. soil, Fox News Digital has learned.Moody, R-Fla., is expected to introduce her legislation Wednesday morning, titled "The Expedited Removal of Criminal Aliens Act."Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., is co-sponsoring the legislation.EXCLUSIVE: KASH PATEL DELIVERS FIERY WARNING AFTER FBI DISRUPTS MASS SHOOTING TERROR PLOT TARGETING MILITARYMoodys team told Fox News Digital that the legislation is "critical" to supporting the Trump administrations immigration priorities."Following four years of systematic dismantlement of our countrys immigration and national security structure under Joe Biden, the American people gave President Trump a mandate to clean up Bidens mess," Moody told Fox News Digital. "Democrats and lower-level partisan judges, however, have sought to block his efforts at every turn."Moody told Fox News Digital that they have claimed that "dangerous criminal illegal aliens and MS-13 gang members like Kilmar Abrego Garcia are just family men living quiet lives in America, and they couldnt be more wrong.""Democrats have fought against the quick removal of illegal aliens who have committed atrocious crimes against children or even those that have been convicted of murder," Moody said. "It makes no sense."Moodys bill authorizes the expedited removal of an immigrant who is a member of a criminal gang or organization; a member of a foreign terrorist organization or has provided material support to such an organization; or has been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor.Those potential felony or misdemeanor convictions include any assault of a law enforcement officer, any sexual offense, any crime of domestic violence, any stalking offense, any crime against children or any violation of a protection order."Today we are finally putting common-sense immigration policies first by introducing legislation to authorize the expedited removal of dangerous criminals and prevent activist-judges from keeping known terrorists, criminals and gang members on American soil and endangering our communities," Moody told Fox News Digital.Moodys bill comes amid a court battle over Abrego Garcia the Salvadorian migrant and alleged MS-13 member who was deported from Maryland to El Salvador in March.DOJ INDICTS ALLEGED HIGH-RANKING TREN DE ARAGUA MEMBER ON TERRORISM CHARGES FOR THE FIRST TIMEAbrego Garcia was suspected of partaking in labor/human trafficking, according to a 2022 Homeland Security Investigations report obtained by Fox News. The report also stated that "official law enforcement investigations" revealed that Abrego Garcia was a member of the notorious gang MS-13, which Trump has designated as a terror organization.A Homeland Security Investigations report also notes that in October 2019, the Prince Georges County Police Gang Unit identified Abrego Garcia as a member of the notorious Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) gang.Abrego Garcia was also recently revealed to have a record of being a "violent" repeat wife beater, according to court records filed in a Prince Georges County, Maryland, district court by his wife, Jennifer Vasquez.The Trump administration has continued to maintain it was right to deport Abrego Garcia to CECOT, despite many Democrats suggesting he was wrongly deported, even going as far as to say he was kidnapped by the administration.0 Comments 0 Shares 73 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMChina accuses US of 'turning space into a warzone' with Trump's Golden Dome missile defense projectChina is concerned by President Donald Trump's proposal for a new U.S. missile defense system, called the Golden Dome, which is designed to protect against adversarial attacks on America.Golden Dome has a "strong offensive nature and violates the principle of peaceful use in the Outer Space Treaty," Chinese Foreign Minister Mao Ning said Wednesday."The project will heighten the risk of turning space into a war zone and creating a space arms race, and shake the international security and arms control system," Mao said. "We urge the U.S. to give up developing and deploying global anti-missile system."Both China and Russia have placed offensive weapons in space, like anti-satellite capabilities that could potentially be used to try to take the U.S. offline, American intelligence officials have warned.MIND-BOGGLING: SPACE FORCE CHIEF FIRES OFF DIRE WARNING ABOUT CHINESE CAPABILITY TO KNOCK OUT US SATELLITESHowever, China said it was the U.S. that was "obsessed" with offensive space dominance."The U.S., by putting itself first, and being obsessed with pursuing absolute security, violates the principle of, and diminishes, the security for all and undermines the global strategic balance and stability," Mao said."China is gravely concerned about this," she added. "We urge the U.S. to give up developing and deploying the global anti-missile system at an early date and take concrete actions to enhance strategic mutual trust between major countries and safeguard global strategic stability."Trump laid out a broad overview of the Golden Dome plan from the White House on Tuesday, projecting the cost figure at $125 billion. The current government funding bill working its way through Congress includes an initial $25 billion to kick off the project.Trump also offered an ambitious timeline for the project to be completed before he leaves office.LASERS, SPACE RADARS, MISSILE INTERCEPTORS: DEFENSE LEADERS LAY OUT VISION FOR TRUMP'S 'GOLDEN DOME' PROJECTFox News Digital has reached out to the White House for comment on China's reaction.The Kremlin, meanwhile, said the Golden Dome project could prompt talks on strategic arms control between Russia and the U.S.The U.S. withdrew from theIntermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty in 2019 and theAnti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in 2002, citing Russian violations which Moscow denied."Now that the legal framework in this area has been destroyed, and the validity period has expired, or deliberately, let's say, a number of documents have ceased to be valid, this base must be recreated both in the interests of our two countries and in the interests of security throughout the planet," said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.Chinas space-based targeting capabilities have "grown most impressively" in recent years, according to Space Force Vice Chief Gen. B. Chance Saltzman, with hundreds of satellites now dedicated to tracking U.S. assets in orbit. He called Chinas rapid advances "mind-boggling" during a hearing on Capitol Hill last month and said the U.S. was at risk of losing its dominance in orbit.Weeks before that, Space Force Vice Chief of Operations Gen. Michael Guetlein revealed that China has been practicing satellite "dogfighting," a sign of its growing ability to conduct complex operations in orbit.Space Force has observed "five different objects in space maneuvering in and out and around each other in synchronicity and in control," he said."Thats what we call dogfighting in space," Guetlein said. "They are practicing tactics, techniques and procedures to conduct on-orbit operations from one satellite to another."0 Comments 0 Shares 65 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMJake Tapper unloads on Hunter Biden as 'demonstrably unethical, sleazy and prone to horrible decisions'CNNs Jake Tapper had harsh words for Hunter Biden while discussing the behind-the-scenes cover-up of former President Joe Biden's mental decline with Katie Couric on Tuesday.Tapper appeared with Axios reporter Alex Thompson on Courics podcast "Next Question" to chat about their book "Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again."While talking about the Biden family, Tapper said he found that Hunter had an undue amount of influence in the White House, "almost like a chief of staff.""Its bizarre because I think he is provably, demonstrably unethical, sleazy and prone to horrible decisions," Tapper said.JAKE TAPPER'S PAST COVERAGE OF BIDEN'S COGNITIVE DECLINE UNDER SCRUTINY AHEAD OF HIS NEW BOOK"Tell me how you really feel," Couric remarked.He continued, "Just look at the record: after his brother died, he cheated on his wife with his brothers widow and then got her addicted to crack. Thats just one thing I could say. I dont have a lot of personal regard for himI barely have ever met him. Ive met him like once or twice."By contrast, Tapper said that he had known Bidens other son Beau before his death and considered him an upstanding citizen. Beau was the heir apparent to the Biden political dynasty, serving as Delaware's attorney general from 2007 until his death from cancer in 2015, when he was a candidate for governor."But Hunter is not [everything Beau was], and the idea of letting him drive the family car, as it were, is just really, really questionable," Tapper said.Both Tapper and Thompson remarked on how protecting Hunter from legal consequences was likely one of the factors in the decision for Biden to run for a second term. Thompson added that he believed Hunter at times abused their relationship.Tapper had initially been reluctant to address issues surrounding Hunter Biden before Bidens first term, calling some of the allegations against him "too disgusting" to repeat on CNN in 2020.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREHowever, by 2023, Tapper had begun to aggressively attack the Biden administration regarding Hunter and his questionable foreign business deals."Look, I mean, Hunter Biden is who he is. It's pretty clear who he is," Tapper said in 2023. "In addition to being an addict, he's a guy who ethically has - there have been questions raised about his behavior, and I think it's worth covering."He also attacked Biden for lying about his claims that he would not pardon Hunter only to do so in the final weeks of his term.Fox News Digital reached out to a representative for Hunter Biden for comment, but did not immediately hear back.Hunter Biden separately blasted Tapper in an interview with Breaker on Wednesday, saying he was "furious" with the CNN host for reaching out to him repeatedly while Beau was dying in pursuit of a scoop about the situation. Breaker also reported that Tapper and Hunter Biden had an angry confrontation at the Super Bowl in 2018.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPA spokesperson for Tapper denied he had acted thoughtlessly around Beau Biden's death, noting Tapper was subsequently offered interviews with the president and co-moderated the 2024 debate.0 Comments 0 Shares 69 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMI'm a progressive Democrat fighting Medicaid cuts. And I just joined Trump's Truth Social to do itI am a proud progressive Democrat, so some people might be surprised to see me joining Donald Trumps Truth Social social media platform this week.Let me explain. This week, House Republicans are trying to pass Trumps Big Beautiful Bill, which would take away health care from more than8.6 million Americansthrough Medicaid cuts, even though just6% of Americanssupport cuts to Medicaid and Medicare, according to a recent Fox News poll.Washington Republicans arent just out of touch with Democrats and Independents on this just11% of Republicanvoters support cuts, but nearly 100% of House Republicans are pushing a bill that would make thebiggest Medicaid cut in American history.WAYS AND MEANS CHAIR: 'REPEAT VERIFICATION FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE ON MEDICAID WOULD SAVE ALMOST $200B'If Republicans are going to push forward massive cuts to programs like Medicaid, Democrats cant just preach to the choir. We need to be reaching out to working people of all stripes and political parties who could face these cuts. I know most users of Truth Social are more conservative than I am and disagree with me on some issues, but I also know that many agree with me that billionaires have too big an influence in our politics and we shouldnt be cutting programs like Medicaid and Social Security to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy.When I think about how to reach out to people who disagree with me on some issues, I think back to how I started my career: as a labor organizer. I worked on construction sites to unify workers who disagreed on a lot of issues but could all come together to demand better wages or working conditions from their bosses.SEN ELIZABETH WARREN: SOCIAL SECURITY IS UNDER ATTACK. GUTTING IT IS A BROKEN PROMISEThat is what I think we need to be doing as Democrats: reaching out to people who may not agree with us on every issue but who are concerned that Republicans in Washington are cutting programs for working people to pay for billionaire tax cuts.Its not just Medicaid. Look at Social Security. In the same Fox poll, only 5% of Americans want it cut, but President Donald Trump has empowered people like Elon Musk, whocalledit a "Ponzi scheme," and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, whosaidonly "fraudsters" would complain about missing a check. And they have fired so many people that the former head of the Social Security Administrationwarnsthe system could "collapse."Of course, joining a social media site will not solve our problems. We should be communicating with more conservative voters wherever we can thats why Ive appeared on Fox News and why Ive traveled to three red congressional districts to hold in-person town halls where Republican members of Congress have not held them for their own constituents.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONOf course, I also often talk to progressive media and post on platforms like BlueSky. And its not just about where we go: we have to make sure people know we are fighting for the working class and are willing to take on big money and special interests.We also need to make sure people know they are welcome in the Democratic Party even if they do not agree with us on every issue. I am a progressive Democrat and I do not plan on changing or obscuring my position on anything, but I want people to know that we are focused on making the lives of all working class people better. That means we as Democrats need to sound less judgmental and more focused on the issues that matter most to peoples lives, like the GOP cuts to Medicaid and Social Security.Even if you disagree with me on some issues, if you oppose these cuts to Medicaid and Social Security and want to take back our government from the billionaire class, I want to talk to you and figure out where we can work together.Im happy to do that on whatever platform youre on.0 Comments 0 Shares 44 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMFlorida activist calls for Satanology banners at public schools citing First AmendmentT. Chaz Stevens, founder of the religion he calls "Satanology," is calling for Brevard Public Schools to display banners at five high schools in Brevard County, Florida.The Florida activist, who runs REVOLT boot camp, is seeking to place banners promoting what he calls the Church of Satanology and Perpetual Soire at Heritage High School, Melbourne High School, Palm Bay Magnet High School, Rockledge High School and Viera High School.PRO-TRANS ATHLETE PROTESTERS CHANT 'HAIL SATAN!' AT GIRLS DURING CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGStevens is requesting that the school district put up banners promoting Satanology after noticing a Trinity Church banner hanging on the fence outside the football stadium at Palm Bay Magnet High School in Melbourne, Florida.In an interview with Fox News, Stevens also stated that he is seeking to advertise Satanology on the electronic signs."They have an electronic sign and on the electronic sign: Palm Bay Magnet High School thanks the church. So were going to ask today, the school board, to put us up. Not only the banners on the chain link fence, but also on the electronic billboards," Stevens said.The activist raised a similar complaint in Broward County, Florida, which resulted in the removal of similar banners at public schools.SATANIC LEADER ARRESTED AFTER BLACK MASS, SCUFFLE AT KANSAS STATEHOUSE: 'A DESPICABLE ACT'"I am not a lawyer but I have filed pro se court cases in federal court against Broward County school districts," he explained. "Where Broward County did basically the same kind of thing and while I lost in courtbut unexpectedly, Broward County revisedbecause of my effortsBroward County revised their policy and has taken down the church banners on the chain link fence."The banner Stevens is seeking to display promotes the religion he founded, the "Ministry of Chaz the Bropostle and his Bro-Minions," and contains the motto, "Satan loves the First Amendment."When asked if he is pursuing freedom for all religions or to display his own banner only, Stevens responded that the First Amendment says, "All or none.' So it's everyone or no one. But they have a third case, what they are doing right now, which is some.'"He continues, "What I want is the separation of Church and State. No banners on the chain link fence. But if they're going to allow some, they've got to put me up."The Trinity Church of Melbourne uses the high school as its location and displays its hours of service on an electronic sign as well as on a banner on the school's fence. Stevens states that he views the banner as an advertisement and that the school created what he describes as a "limited public forum" when the banner was displayed.Stevens' website lists his recent projects as the "Satan or Silence" project, "In God We Trust" posters, "10 Commandments" posters, and a campaign to "ban Bibles" in all 63 Florida school districts.SATANIC TEMPLE'S NATIVITY DISPLAY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE DESTROYED, DEM REP CALLS FOR NEW DISPLAYWhen asked if he has activist projects for other religions or solely Christianity, Stevens responded, "We've had a problem with Christianity being the majority voice throughout our entire history.""The great majority of America self-describes as Christians," he said. "The powerful majority voice by great numbers are the Christians.""And when you look at the church banners that are going up, these aren't church banners for Islam. These aren't church banners for Wiccans. These aren't church banners for the Druids. If the Druids were doing this I'd be going after the Druids. The people that are doing this are Christians."Fox News reached out to Brevard County School District but has yet to receive a response.0 Comments 0 Shares 45 Views 0 Reviews
