The ERASER Act would require agencies to repeal three existing rules before issuing a new one, while the Separation of Powers Restoration Act would limit court deference to agency interpretations.
Schmitt emphasized the need to curb the administrative state and return power to the people. With bipartisan support, the bills are more likely to receive a vote in the GOP-led Senate, marking a shift from the previous Democratic leadership.

Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) emphasized that while Democrats need to adapt, Trump's low popular vote reflects a flawed electoral process, notably gerrymandering. He believes Democrats could have controlled the House without it and stresses the importance of connecting with working-class voters.

Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter (now X) has sparked a shift in the free speech landscape, with Mark Zuckerberg announcing that Meta will adopt X's standards to enhance free speech protections across its platforms. This includes ending its third-party fact-checking program and implementing a new 'community notes' system.
Despite skepticism regarding Zuckerberg's commitment to free speech, his recent actions could signal a pivotal change in the ongoing battle against censorship. The need for robust free expression is increasingly urgent as global trends lean towards restricting speech.
Human Events: BARRINGTON MARTIN: J6 was about holding establishment politicians accountable to the people
The events of January 6, 2021, are often labeled as an insurrection, but this characterization is deemed exaggerated and misleading. The protestors, while misguided in their methods, highlighted the need for accountability among public officials, a sentiment that transcends political affiliations.
The media's portrayal of the day as a coordinated attempt to overthrow the government lacks evidence, with investigations showing no organized plot. The focus should shift from sensationalism to addressing the genuine issues facing the nation, while ensuring that the right to petition the government remains intact.

Balint also noted that while there may be opportunities for bipartisanship on certain tax provisions and the debt ceiling, the current political climate poses significant challenges. She criticized the narrative shift among some Republicans regarding the events of January 6, calling it a threat to democracy.

The Western Journal: Not a Joke: NJ Dems Just Ended Reading, Writing Test Requirements for Teachers
New Jersey's Democratic legislature has passed Bill A1669, eliminating the requirement for teaching candidates to pass basic reading, writing, and math tests to obtain teaching certificates. This move, aimed at addressing a teacher shortage, has drawn criticism for lowering educational standards.
Opponents argue that simply easing certification requirements will not improve the quality of education. They propose that instead of state certification, schools should implement their own rigorous hiring processes to ensure teacher competence without bureaucratic oversight.

Two death row inmates, Shannon Agofsky and Len Davis, are refusing President Biden's commutations that would change their sentences to life without parole. They argue that maintaining their death row status is crucial for their legal appeals, as it allows for heightened scrutiny of their cases.
Agofsky, convicted of multiple murders, and Davis, a former police officer involved in a murder, believe that the commutation would undermine their ongoing litigation.
