Promises 'aggressive legal action' against owners he dislikes
A Florida judge on Tuesday blocked an effort to temporarily halt the use of a new Republican-favored House map in the Sunshine State, delivering another blow to Democrats after another judge denied a separate bid to halt a new GOP-friendly map in Tennessee. Florida Circuit Court Judge Joshua Hawkes, an appointee of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), denied a request from several groups to temporarily…
Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith, a Republican, proclaimed during an interview with the right-wing Christian FlashPoint show that people need "permission to hate" Islam."We're giving people permission to hate again," said Beckwith, a radical Christian Nationalist whose rant was captured in a report by Right Wing Watch. "And I know that sounds harsh at first, but we've seen this movement to eradicate hate in our culture, that is the worst thing we could do. You know, the Bible talks about how God hates certain things, and when we say we want to eradicate hate, think about this, we're actually saying we want to eradicate a characteristic of God.""Hate is not the opposite of love," Beckwith continued. "Indifference is the opposite of love. And so when I talk about this and I say, guys, we need to, in Indiana, we need to hate certain things — if radical Jihadi mindset starts coming into our state, I'm gonna hate it, and I'm gonna hate it with everything that I am, and I'm gonna call on others to hate it.""I hate Islam; it's a demonic death cult," he added. "Now, I love Muslims, because they make great Christians when Jesus gets a hold of them, but I hate Islam."Beckwith has found himself a lightning rod for controversy since taking office.He has praised the Three-Fifths Compromise, cracked tasteless jokes about autism and Down Syndrome, and last year his office came under investigation for "ghost jobs" and the distribution of deepfaked sexual images.

In a blow to President Donald Trump's demands for all GOP-controlled states to redraw their congressional maps to give themselves extra seats, a majority of the South Carolina Senate effectively voted to pull the plug on redistricting for now, with a handful of Republican lawmakers begrudgingly admitting Democrats had successfully run out the clock and they couldn't change the maps because primary voting was already underway.South Carolina Republicans could revisit the gerrymandering attempt, but the upshot is that, for now, the state's sole Democratic congressman, longtime powerbroker Rep. Jim Clyburn, will be able to secure another term in office. And both the White House and MAGA influencers are furious about it.“We knew it was bumpy all along, never a guarantee. But the votes were there on the last vote and nothing changed," said one White House official, adding that South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster, who had supported Trump's efforts to draw out the state's one majority-Black district, didn't give any warning that the vote was about to fail.Meanwhile, pro-Trump commenters on social media lashed out at the state lawmakers, accusing them of betrayal."This was the slimmest House majority in American history, a chance to protect President Trump’s agenda, and a generational opportunity to give 1 million South Carolinians a vote that finally counts. It was sitting right there. All it required was holding the line 1 more time. They didn’t," raged Big Dog Strategies senior vice president Justin Evans, naming all the GOP state lawmakers who voted against the gerrymander. "We will remember who showed up, and we will remember who walked away.""South Carolina Redistricting likely DEAD! Vital cloture vote to limit debate and force a vote in the SC Senate FAILS 20-24," wrote South Carolina Freedom Caucus founding chair and right-wing talk radio host Adam Morgan, who also named all the lawmakers. "Citing Democrats’ argument that 'early voting began today so it’s too late.' Looks like it was all a setup.""This is why RINOs CAN NEVER BE TRUSTED — no matter WHAT they say," wrote MAGA influencer Nick Sortor. "Another reason people like [Texas Sen. John] Cornyn MUST GO. RINOs said they can no longer move forward with redistricting because early voting started today. They KNEW it was starting today, but dragged their feet. They could've finished redistricting LAST WEEK. NEVER TRUST A RINO! They NEVER change."

Social media pounced the Trump administration’s proposal to force all employees to sign non-disclosure agreements to prevent leaks to media organizations.The new requirement proposed by President Donald Trump in a Tuesdy draft notice, states that “federal employees do not have discretion to disclose Confidential Government Information,” and that unauthorized disclosure of such information disrupts agency operations and “erodes public trust.”The agreement, if successful, would make “written permission from an authorized agency official” a requirement before an employee could speak about information the Trump administration declares confidential — regardless of the seriousness or the alleged harm the government action is doing.The NDA is designed to bring financial pain to the whistleblower by demanding financial restitution, and it even applies to employees after they leave federal service.Social media critics whaled on the proposal, with the Freedom of the Press Foundation calling it “not just absurd, it’s unnecessary and dangerously secretive.”“This policy would kneecap whistleblower protections, undermine the First Amendment, and wrongly inhibit the public’s right to know,” the association added on Bluesky.Washington D.C. attorney Bradley Moss also blasted the proposal on Bluesky: “Federal employees operate under an array of statutory, regulatory and policy restrictions on the unauthorized disclosure of unclassified information. The only reason to add this NDA would be to undercut lawful … disclosures to the media that SCOTUS approved.”Former U.S. diplomat William Gill pointed out on X that “This obviously begs the question, what are they trying to hide now? Federal employees are barred from unauthorized disclosures of classified information but they’re also covered by whistleblower protections regarding waste, fraud and abuse. That’s the likely area being targeted.”Other critics took a more biting turn, with one heckler complaining on Bluesky that “Fed workers are not the ones needing to be gagged.”Another blasted “absolutely breathtaking authoritarian s—— from this admin and that’s saying something.”
