August 11 will mark one year since the federal occupation of D.C. began. We want to know: What will you remember about this time? And what questions do you have as the takeover continues? Our survey:

In the months that followed, we've also been subject to the ongoing incursion of the Safe and Beautiful Task Force, the summer of America 250, and the continued meddling of the federal government in our local affairs.

NEW: Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, facing ethics inquiries for misconduct, has threatened to strip state scholarships from Catholic schools unless the Church rewrites its vaccine doctrine. It is an unprecedented attack by an American state on the religious liberty of the Catholic Church.

Florida’s MAGA Attorney Threatens to Defund Catholic Schools Over Vaccine Mandate

Florida’s attorney general gave the bishops until August 7 to accept vaccine exemptions their own doctrine calls dishonest. Nearly nine in ten of the state’s Catholic school students sit downstream.
