Daily Wire: Wisconsin Governor Uses Veto Power To Increase School Funding For 400 Years
Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers shocks the state by using his veto power to increase funding for public schools for 400 years. Evers deleted the year numbers, extending per-pupil spending by $325 per year until 2425. This move was among over 50 line-item vetoes Evers made to reshape the $99 billion budget passed by Republicans, including vetoing a $3.5 billion tax cut and funding cuts for diversity programs at the University of Wisconsin.
PJ Media: MTG Ousted From the House Freedom Caucus
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was dismissed from the House Freedom Caucus, with reasons ranging from her support of Kevin McCarthy to her altercation with Lauren Boebert. The decision was supposedly made on June 30 but not formalized until a meeting with caucus chairman Scott Perry took place. The move may be influenced by Greene's position on the debt ceiling and her controversial statements and actions in the past.
Greene's ouster from the caucus could indicate a struggle for good governance within the Republican party. Running a country is meant to be messy and complicated, and maintaining a Republic requires constant effort. While the decision may embarrass the mainstream media, it could also reflect a larger attempt to ensure effective governance on the Republican side.
Red State: WH Spox Gives Troubling Answer When Asked if They'll Tell Us When They Find Out Who Brought in Cocaine
The Biden administration is refusing to provide transparency regarding the cocaine found at the White House, continuously changing the details of the discovery. They are withholding information from the public and not being honest about where it was found or who may be responsible. When questioned, White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates deflected and refused to commit to transparency. This lack of transparency and evasiveness is unacceptable and needs to be addressed. The administration's disregard for the truth and their refusal to answer straightforward questions is a cause for concern.

Kennedy's plan is seen as risky and controversial, especially considering his recent antagonism towards a pro-freedom group and his intentions to seek advice from anti-free speech Big Tech executives.

Fox News: Abortionist declares that its our 'ethical duty' to share 'extraordinary stories' about abortion
Dr. Christine Henneberg argues that doctors have an ethical duty to share stories about abortions in order to humanize their work and advocate for patients' rights. She believes that in a post-Roe world, where abortion restrictions are increasing, it is important for doctors to expose the violation of patients' privacy and bodily autonomy. Henneberg criticizes the punishment of Dr. Caitlin Bernard for discussing a case publicly, stating that it is an attempt to silence doctors who witness the consequences of restrictive abortion legislation.
Dr. Caitlin Bernard's story, in which a 10-year-old girl had to travel to terminate a pregnancy caused by rape, gained national attention and was used to argue for looser restrictions. The Indiana State Medical Licensing Board reprimanded Bernard and fined her, accusing her of violating privacy laws. Henneberg suggests that this action is part of a larger effort to silence doctors who witness the consequences of restrictive abortion laws. Henneberg advocates for the power of stories to change minds and promote understanding of personal issues.

Red State: SHOCKER. Transgender Military Members Are Exempt From Fitness and Weight Standards
Last week, the US Army praised Major Rachel Jones, a transgender officer who violated Army regulations for over a decade. Jones may be exempt from physical fitness and height-weight standards. Granting exemptions for self-inflicted wounds undermines discipline. Transgender personnel are indefinitely exempt from standards and limited in deployability, creating an unfair system. The military should not accommodate transgenders, as they hinder unit efficiency and esprit. President Trump's decision to end this accommodation was correct. A return to that standard is necessary.
