U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., who last week announced his candidacy for governor of the Golden State, is now pushing for California citizens to be able to vote by telephone.
Appearing Saturday on CNN's "The Story Is" with host Elex Michaelson, Swalwell said: "I want us to be able to vote by phone."
"If we can do our taxes … make our health care appointments, you know, make, essentially your – do your banking online, you should be able to vote by phone. Make it safe, make it secure. But it's actually already happening all over the United States.
"I want us to be a blue state that doesn't do just a little bit better than like Georgia or Alabama when it comes to like voting access, I want us to max out democracy."
Eric Daughtery of Florida Voice News reacted to the vote-by-phone idea, saying: "This is the worst voting idea I've EVER heard. That would be an abject disaster."
The congressman, perhaps best-known for his alleged affair with purported Chinese spy Christine Fang, is also suggesting penalizing counties where voters have to wait to vote in person.
"As it relates to democracy, if you wait in line for 30 minutes or more, if you do want to vote in person, I think you should fine every county for every minute that a person has to wait longer," Swalwell said.
"We have to be better, not just a little bit better than the other states."
Swalwell also thinks the operation of the Department of Motor Vehicles can be modernized where drivers don't even have to show up in person.
"I don't think Californians should have to go in person to the DMV anymore," he said. "I think we can do that virtually. I think you can have the DMV employees do it virtually. But that's a lot of real estate. Digitize the DMV."
Although Swalwell denies any wrongdoing in his relationship with Fang, the congressman was removed from his position on the House Intelligence Committee in January 2023 by then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

PALM BEACH, Florida – While simultaneously bad-mouthing some members of his own political party, President Donald Trump on Sunday asserted Republicans are at their peak of unity.
"The Republican Party has never been so UNITED AS IT iS RIGHT NOW!" Trump exclaimed on Truth Social.
He then named at least three members of the GOP with whom he has serious problems, labeling them "lowlifes."
"Other than Rand Paul, Rand Paul Jr.([Thomas] Massie!), Marjorie 'Traitor' Brown, and a couple of other 'lowlifes,' and other than the fact that many want the Election threatening Filibuster TERMINATED (the Dems will do it in the first minute of their first chance!), and some don't, there is great spirit and cohesion."
"Plus, the Republican Party is MUCH BIGGER than it was when I announced in 2015 or, ever was before – Many Millions More Members!" Trump continued, as he touted the successes of his administration.
"We now have the Strongest Border EVER, Biggest Tax Cuts, the Best Economy, Highest Stock Market in USA History, and sooo much more. BUT, THE BEST IS YET TO COME! VOTE REPUBLICAN!!!"
According to the Pew Research Center: "Today, Americans are about evenly split between the two parties: 46% identify with or lean toward the Republican Party, and 45% identify with or lean toward the Democratic Party.
"This balance of partisanship is similar to 2024, but the current near-even division marks a shift from the affiliation advantage the Democratic Party enjoyed a few years ago."

PALM BEACH, Florida – President Donald Trump is not letting up in his battle against Democrats urging members of the U.S. military and intelligence community to refuse to obey orders from the commander in chief, launching a fresh barrage of criticism in all capital letters.
"THE TRAITORS THAT TOLD THE MILITARY TO DISOBEY MY ORDERS SHOULD BE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW, NOT ROAMING THE FAKE NEWS NETWORKS TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT WHAT THEY SAID WAS OK. IT WASN'T, AND NEVER WILL BE!" Trump exclaimed late Saturday night on Truth Social.
"IT WAS SEDITION AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL, AND SEDITION IS A MAJOR CRIME. THERE CAN BE NO OTHER INTERPRETATION OF WHAT THEY SAID!"
In a follow-up message, also in all capital letters, Trump added: "MANY GREAT LEGAL SCHOLARS AGREE THAT THE DEMOCRAT TRAITORS THAT TOLD THE MILITARY TO DISOBEY MY ORDERS, AS PRESIDENT, HAVE COMMITTED A CRIME OF SERIOUS PROPORTION!"
His new comments come on the heels of last week's comments in which Trump slammed the "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!"
U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., pushed back against Trump, saying, "I know a little bit about political violence. My wife Gabby [Giffords] was nearly assassinated. She was shot in the head because of political violence. She nearly died."
When asked by a CBS News reporter if the president actually wanted to execute members of Congress, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said no.
"The sanctity of our military rests on the chain of command and if that chain of command is broken, it can lead to people getting killed, it can lead to chaos," Leavitt explained.
Noting the U.S. has 1.3 million active-duty service members, she added, "If they hear this radical message from sitting members of Congress, that could inspire chaos and it could incite violence and it could certainly disrupt the chain of command."
Appearing on "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo on the Fox News Channel, Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso, R-Wyo., called the Democrats' strategy "dangerous," noting, "These are the same Democrats who have doing everything they can to undermine the president. … Every one of them voted for the shutdown."
As WorldNetDaily reported last week, a handful of Democrats in Congress who served in the U.S. military and intelligence community raised eyebrows with a new video encouraging current service members to refuse to follow "illegal orders" issued by the administration of President Donald Trump.
"We want to speak directly to members of the military and the intelligence community who take risks each day to keep Americans safe," the lawmakers say, taking turns in brief clips. "We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now."
"This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence-community professionals against American citizens. Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution. Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren't just coming from abroad, but from right here at home.
"Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.
"We know this is hard and that it's a difficult time to be a public servant. But whether you're serving in the CIA, the Army, our Navy, the Air Force, your vigilance is critical and know that we have your back. Because now, more than ever, the American people need you. We need you to stand up for our laws, our Constitution and who we are as Americans."
The video concludes with the message: "Don't give up the ship."
Democrats featured in the video are Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, a former CIA officer; Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona, a former Navy captain and astronaut; Rep. Chris Deluzio of Pennsylvania, a former Navy officer; Rep. Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire, a former intelligence officer in the Navy Reserve; Rep. Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, a former Air Force officer; and Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado, a former paratrooper and Army Ranger.
Stephen Miller, Trump's deputy chief of staff for policy and homeland security, said: "Democrat lawmakers are now openly calling for insurrection."

In the wake of her announcement she's quitting Congress, U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has jumped to third place on the Polymarket prediction market to be the 2028 Republican presidential nominee.
The Georgia Republican currently stands at 6%, just behind second-place Secretary of State Marco Rubio at 8%, and far behind the current front-runner, Vice President JD Vance who has 55%.
She is ranked ahead of other well-known names, including President Donald Trump, with whom she has had a highly publicized falling out, as well as journalist Tucker Carlson, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and Donald Trump Jr.
But is the MAGA firebrand interested in running?
Time Magazine suggested yes, writing on Saturday: "The Georgia lawmaker has privately told allies that she has considered running for president in 2028, according to two people who have spoken with her directly about the prospect and three others familiar with her thinking.
"The possibility comes amid the dramatic rupture in Greene's relationship with President Donald Trump, which contributed to her decision to announce on Friday that she would resign from the House of Representatives in January."
But Time's article prompted a forceful denial on Sunday from Greene, who called it a "complete lie."
"TIME claims 'sources' told them I'm running for President in 2028, which means this is a complete lie and they made it up because they can't even quote the names of the people who they claim said it. That's not journalism, it's called lying," Greene said in a lengthy statement on X.
"I'm not running for President and never said I wanted to and have only laughed about it when anyone would mention it. If you fell for those headlines, you're still being lulled everyday into psychosis by the Political Industrial Complex that always has an agenda when it does something like this."
She continued: "Running for President requires traveling all over the country, begging for donations all day everyday to raise hundreds of millions of dollars, arguing political talking points everyday to the point of exhaustion, destroying your health and having no personal life in order to attempt to get enough votes to become President all to go to work into a system that refuses to fix any of America's problems.
"The fact that I'd have to go through all that but would be totally blocked from truly fixing anything is exactly why I would never do it. And most importantly, I'm not the kind of person who is willing to make the deals that must be made in order to be allowed to have the title. Again, I'm not motivated by power and titles."
On Friday, Greene posted a video of herself telling supporters, "I will be resigning from office with my last day being January 5, 2026."
Last Sunday, as WorldNetDaily reported, after being labeled by Trump as a "traitor," "fake politician" and "ranting Lunatic," Greene said the commander in chief put a target on her back, placing her very life in danger.
"Being called a 'traitor' isn't just hurtful, it puts a target on my back and puts my life in danger," she said.
Greene told CNN's Dana Bash, "The most hurtful thing he said which is absolutely untrue is he called me a traitor and that is so extremely wrong. And those are the types of words used that can radicalize people against me and put my life in danger."

With controversy raging over Democrats urging the U.S. military and intelligence community to refuse to obey "illegal orders" from President Trump, the Democrat senator who is leading the charge that Trump calls "sedition at the highest level" "punishable by death" was asked point-blank Sunday if any illegal orders have been issued by the commander in chief.
On ABC's "This Week" broadcast, anchor Martha Raddatz asked U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., who is a former CIA officer: "Do you believe President Trump has issued any illegal orders?"
"To my knowledge, I am not aware of things that are illegal," Slotkin responded, "but certainly there are some legal gymnastics that are going on with these Caribbean strikes and everything related to Venezuela."
As WorldNetDaily reported, Trump took to Truth Social late Saturday night to blast Slotkin and her Democrat colleagues suggesting the chain of command be broken.
"THE TRAITORS THAT TOLD THE MILITARY TO DISOBEY MY ORDERS SHOULD BE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW, NOT ROAMING THE FAKE NEWS NETWORKS TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT WHAT THEY SAID WAS OK. IT WASN'T, AND NEVER WILL BE!" Trump exclaimed.
"IT WAS SEDITION AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL, AND SEDITION IS A MAJOR CRIME. THERE CAN BE NO OTHER INTERPRETATION OF WHAT THEY SAID!"
Slotkin told ABC: "He's trying to get us to shut up because he doesn't want to be talking about this," Slotkin said. "In fact, I would argue that one of the things that he's been doing by repeating it and talking about it is trying to distract us from the big stories of last week, which were the [Jeffrey] Epstein files and then the economy."
Slotkin said: "My primary concern is the use of U.S. military on American shores … in our cities and in our streets. We've seen now the courts overturn the deployment of U.S. military into our streets, including here in Washington, D.C.
"When you look at these videos coming out of places like Chicago, it makes me incredibly nervous that we're about to see people in law enforcement, people in uniformed military, get nervous, get stressed, shoot at American civilians. It is very – a very, very stressful situation for these law enforcement and for the communities on the ground. So it was basically a warning to say, like, if you're asked to do something, particularly against American citizens, you have the ability to go to your JAG officer and push back."
Raddatz asked the senator: "And with these service members calling you, couldn't you have done a video saying just what you just said? If you are asked to do something, if you are worried about whether it is legal or not, you can do this. It does imply that the president is having illegal orders which you have not seen."
Slotkin replied: "I think for us, it was just a statement widely, right? We say very quickly and very – to all the folks who come to us – this is the process: Go to your JAG officer, ask them for explanation, for top cover, for their view on things. We do that on a case by case basis, but we wanted to speak directly to the volumes of people who had come to us on this.
Regarding the potential for further U.S. military action targeting Venezuela. Slotkin said: "Certainly, the sheer size of the military buildup in and around Venezuela – I mean, you have to assume that when superpowers put that much force into an area that they're going to use it. They brought in aircraft carriers. They brought in F-35s."
"Certainly if we're going to actually think about prosecuting some sort of war or military action against the mainland of Venezuela, I would hope that the president would want to have that conversation publicly, bring in the American people who are not looking to get into another war, who are not looking to get into regime change."

Two leftist organizations have filed court action because two leftist states are failing to comply with a clearly leftist agenda point.
It is Courthousenews that revealed the Center for Biological Diversity and the Center for Environmental Health have sued the Trump administration, through the Environmental Protection Agency, because California and Colorado have air pollution.
The complaint involves the State Implementation Plans submitted by the states.
"To set national air quality standards, each state or air regulator in the U.S. submits a State Implementation Plan with a timeline to tackle pollution," the report explained. "With the EPA's approval within two years of submission of such a state plan, a Federal Implementation Plan is enacted.
"Numerous SIP elements, submitted by both the Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District (California) and the State of Colorado for the West Mojave Desert and Denver Metro/North Front Range nonattainment areas, respectively, have now languished before EPA, without receiving final approval or disapproval, for years," the lawsuit charges.
"Additionally, EPA has failed to promulgate a FIP for Colorado, after partially disapproving its SIP two years ago."
The claims are that the federal government is underserving the California and Colorado residents.
"Trump's EPA is forcing millions of people to breathe extremely harmful levels of smog, day after day," Ryan Maher, of the Center for Biological Diversity, charged. "As this administration gives handout after handout to the fossil fuel industry and other polluters, we're counting on the courts to step in and protect public health."
Of course, most of the time during which the EPA allegedly didn't act was under the supervision of the Joe Biden administration.
"The plaintiffs say that the agency has sat on plans submitted by California in 2020 and 2023 and failed to take action by May 2025, as the act requires," the report said. Trump had been in office only a few months at that time.
"With regard to Colorado, the 'EPA disapproved the SIP revisions ¬— submitted by Colorado on May 14, 2018, May 13, 2020, March 22, 2021, May 18, 2021, and May 20, 2022 — citing their lack of 'sufficient reporting requirements,' which illegally undermine the ability of the public to enforce the rules being incorporated into Colorado's SIP,' causing further delay and prompted the organizations to file suit," the report said.
So after years of inaction by the Biden administration, the lawsuit now is trying to "push the EPA to act as soon as possible."

Although the U.S. military's mandate that service members receive the COVID-19 shot, implemented under the Biden administration, has been widely deemed "unlawful as implemented," and while many calls have since emerged for pardons or amnesty for those service members negatively impacted, these urgent requests have largely been ignored.
On June 2, 2025, representatives from Stand Together Against Racism and Radicalism in the Services, Inc. (STARRS), the MacArthur Society of West Point Graduates and the Calvert Task Group signed on to a letter sent to President Donald Trump.
The letter accurately stated that "mandatory COVID shots from 2021 to 2023, as well as the earlier anthrax vaccinations from 1997 to 2003, were formally declared by federal officials to be 'unlawful as implemented' and 'illegal,' respectively."
For this reason, the seven signatories respectfully requested that President Trump "order full and unconditional pardons, amnesty and remedies for all Service Members negatively impacted, in any way, by the military's anthrax and COVID mandates."
Regarding the letter, WorldNetDaily interviewed three top people from the STARRS organization. Air Force Col. (Ret.) Ron Scott, president and CEO of STARRS, confirmed that the letter was sent via certified mail with a return receipt requested.
Army Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Joe Arbuckle, STARRS vice chairman-at-large of the board, noted "it has been over five months since our letter was sent to the president requesting that he grant pardons and/or amnesty to those who refused the unlawful Covid and anthrax vaccinations," and to date, there has been no response.
Mike Rose, STARRS executive vice president and general counsel, asserted the president should grant pardons or amnesty to everyone penalized by the military for not receiving the COVID-19 shot, which the government now acknowledges was unjust and illegal as implemented. He argued, "The failure to give pardons/amnesty prolongs the irreparable damage caused by the illegal military COVID mandate, and the failure to even answer requests for pardons/amnesty makes military members feel no one cares to remedy timely the harms the government illegally caused."
To assess the interest in pardons or amnesty among service members themselves, this reporter recently conducted a small-scale, informal survey. All participants were active members of the U.S. military, representing all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces.
When asked whether President Trump and War Secretary Hegseth should consider amnesty or pardons for service members whose records were adversely impacted by the COVID-19 shot, 65 out of 66 respondents, or 98.5%, answered "Yes." The reason for their answer hinges largely on the fact that 58 out 66 respondents, or 88%, also believe the shot was unlawful – and many informed their chain of command of this while requesting accommodation or exemption for the shot.
About 70% of the respondents who answered the question referred to a pertinent law, 10 U.S. Code § 1107a, in their requests for religious accommodations and/or medical exemptions, declaring the shot mandate illegal.
10 U.S. Code § 1107a states that individuals must be informed of their right to accept or decline the administration of a product. In the case of a product authorized for emergency use, like the previously mandated COVID-19 shot, only the president can waive this federal regulation. The code was not waived by former President Joe Biden.
The Department of Defense clearly ignored the law. Will Secretary Pete Hegseth's Department of War right the wrongs?
Taking a step in that direction, Arbuckle pointed out that the Office of the Under Secretary of War for Personnel and Readiness is in the process of forming two task forces to "address some of the vaccination remedy issues" through the review of policy development and implementation of the military's now-rescinded COVID-19 shot mandate.
Arbuckle also added there is "good news and bad news" coming from the Department of Veterans Affairs. On the positive side, he said, "899 cases have had their discharges upgraded to honorable, allowing them GI Bill benefits from the VA." However, he argued, "it appears this is happening based upon individual service members going through the appeal process using the sluggish Boards for Correction of Military Records (BCMR) process.

After Democratic lawmakers, who also are military veterans, released a video this week warning service personnel about following orders of the commander in chief that may be "illegal," President Trump reacted angrily, saying the action was "seditious."
Now a group of Republican veterans have released their own video, reminding Americans in the military of the oath they took to the Constitution and criticizing the "insinuation" of the Democrats that Trump had given "illegal" orders.
The video was put together by the Republican Conference of the U.S. House of Represenatives.

A new research project is charging that Minnesota state taxpayers are the biggest single source of funding for the Muslim terror network of al-Shabaab.
The research, published in the City-Journal, reveals that an investigation has confirmed what many suspected would happen when "a tribal mindset meets a bleeding-heart bureaucracy."
The state, under Democrat Gov. Tim Walz, who was on board in Kamala Harris' catastrophically failed 2024 presidential bid for her party, already is "drowning" in fraud. "Billions in taxpayer dollars have been stolen during the administration of Governor Tim Walz alone. Democratic state officials, overseeing one of the most generous welfare regimes in the country, are asleep at the switch. And the media, duty-bound by progressive pieties, refuse to connect the dots," the report said.
The new, and major, fraud scheme "has allegedly been perpetrated by members of Minnesota's sizeable Somali community," the research explained. "Federal counterterrorism sources confirm that millions of dollars in stolen funds have been sent back to Somalia, where they ultimately landed in the hands of the terror group Al-Shabaab."
The report noted one source confirmed, "The largest funder of Al-Shabaab is the Minnesota taxpayer."
"If you were to design a welfare program to facilitate fraud, it would probably look a lot like Minnesota's Medicaid Housing Stabilization Services program. The HSS program, the first of its kind in the country, was launched with a noble goal: to help seniors, addicts, the disabled, and the mentally ill secure housing. It was designed with 'low barriers to entry' and 'minimal requirements for reimbursement.' Nonetheless, before the program went live in 2020, officials pegged its annual estimated price tag at $2.6 million," the research charged.
But costs in 2021 alone totaled $21 million, and since then annual totals have been $42 million, $74 million, $104 million.
State officials there noticed the "credible allegations of fraud, and decided to shut it down, and just weeks ago, acting U.S. Attorney for Minnesota Joe Thompson confirmed criminal fraud indictments against Moktar Hassan Aden, Mustafa Dayib Ali, Khalid Ahmed Dayib, Abdifitah Mohamud Mohamed, Christopher Adesoji Falade, Emmanuel Oluwademilade Falade, Asad Ahmed Adow, and Anwar Ahmed Adow.
Six of those are in the state's Somali community.
"Thompson made clear that this is just the first round of charges for HSS fraud that his office will be prosecuting," the report said.
"Most of these cases, unlike a lot of Medicare fraud and Medicaid fraud cases nationally, aren't just overbilling. These are often just purely fictitious companies solely created to defraud the system, and that's unique in the extent to which we have that here in Minnesota," Thompson confirmed.
He said many schemes operate out of rundown offices with perpetrators targeting people out of rehab and putting them on government benefits for services the companies have no intention of providing.
"What we see are schemes stacked upon schemes, draining resources meant for those in need. It feels never ending," Thompson said. "I have spent my career as a fraud prosecutor and the depth of the fraud in Minnesota takes my breath away."
Already, there have been 56 people who admitted gjuilt in a $250 million "Feeding Our Future" fraud, the report confirmed.
That purportedly was to provide daycare assistance, but it used "fake meal counts, doctored attendance records, and fabricated invoices" to demand reimbursement of nearly $200 million.
"In reality, the money was being used to fund lavish lifestyles, purchase luxury vehicles, and buy real estate in the United States, Turkey, and Kenya," the report confirmed.
David Gaither, a former state lawmaker warned that the legacy media, "alongside Minnesota's Democratic establishment, have long turned a blind eye to fraud within the Somali community."
That allows problems to explode in size.
The "fraudsters" even had cultivated appearances with Ilhan Omar, the Somali-born congresswoman from Minneapolis.
Involved in promoting "Feeding Our Future" have been Omar's deputy district director, a former state senator who ran for Minneapolis mayor, and a senior aide to Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.
Federal prosecutors revealed that another fraud scheme involved boosting the number of Somali children getting federal aid for autism.
Asha Farhan Hassan, a Somali community member also named in the "Feeding our Future" case, allegedly set up a $14 million scheme using Minnesota's Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention program.
"Hassan and her co-conspirators 'approached parents in the Somali community' and recruited their children into autism therapy services. It didn't matter, prosecutors suggested, if a child did not have an autism diagnosis: Hassan would facilitate a fraudulent one," the report confirmed.
In fact, prosecutors charge, "To drive up enrollment, Hassan and her partners paid monthly cash kickback payments to the parents of children who enrolled. These kickback payments ranged from approximately $300 to $1500 per month, per child. The amount of these payments was contingent on the services DHS authorized a child to receive—the higher the authorization amount, the higher the kickback. Often, parents threatened to leave . . . and take their children to other autism centers if they did not get paid higher kickbacks."
The report cited autism program costs in Minnesota: $3 million in 2018, then up to $54 million, $77 million, $183 million, $279 million, and $399 million in 2023.
"These massive fraud schemes form a web that has stolen billions of dollars in taxpayer money. Each case we bring exposes another strand of this network," Thompson charged.
And the report revealed, "At least 28 fraud scandals have surfaced since Walz was elected governor in 2019. Most of the large-scale fraud rings, according to two former FBI officials who spoke with City Journal, have been perpetrated by members of the Somali community."
And where did the money go?
"The Somali fraud rings have sent huge sums in remittances, or money transfers, from Minnesota to Somalia. According to reports, an estimated 40 percent of households in Somalia get remittances from abroad. In 2023 alone, the Somali diaspora sent back $1.7 billion—more than the Somali government's budget for that year," City Journal said.
And the report added, "Our investigation reveals, for the first time, that some of this money has been directed to an even more troubling destination: the al-Qaida-linked Islamic terror group Al-Shabaab. According to multiple law-enforcement sources, Minnesota's Somali community has sent untold millions through a network of 'hawalas,' informal clan-based money-traders, that have wound up in the coffers of Al-Shabaab."
Confirmation came through Glenn Kerns, a retired detective who worked on a federal Joint Terrorism Task Force, who said the Somalis' money network routed huge amounts of cash to hawala networks in Somalia, with one getting $20 million in a single year.
Another investigator, who was cited anonymously, said, "Every scrap of economic activity, in the Twin Cities, in America, throughout Western Europe, anywhere Somalis are concentrated, every cent that is sent back to Somalia benefits Al-Shabaab in some way. For every dollar that is transferred from the Twin Cities back to Somalia, al-Shabaab is . . . taking a cut of it."
The Gateway Pundit lauded the work of reporters Ryan Thorpe and Chris Rufo, explaining, "This is insane."

The National Education Association has been revealed to be planning to double down on gender fantasies with a training session, scheduled in just weeks, that is to teach the best practices for imposing gender pronouns, ways to battle "transphobia," and more.
In a document posted online, the NEA revealed a slate of "training" programs that are coming, including a session named "Advancing LGBTA+ Justice," which is set Dec. 2-4.
"Understanding this community and their issues are critical to providing support and guidance that is not only inclusive but liberating," the labor organization announced.
It is a report from Fox News that explains the union's goals, even while teachers' groups are facing criticism across America for the low numbers of students performing basic language and math requirements at grade level.
It is, after all, conservative opponents who are the "villains," the literature claims.
The union plans include setting up "common understandings about the identities under the LGBTQ+ community umbrella" and establishing "shared understanding" as well as addressing "micro-aggressions and stereotypes."
The report explained that Defending Education, an education transparency advocate organization, accessed a "pre-attendance package" and "participant handouts" for the "Advancing LGBTQ+ Justice and Transgender Advocacy."
"The documents are littered with far-left agenda items, including a guide for members who are potentially going through a gender transition at work taken from the Cornell University 'Transgender Guide To Transitioning & Gender Affirmation,'" the report explained.
There's guidance for "coming out" at work and "transitioning at work" and laments that the union's opponents win the argument over allowing males in sports, lockers and showers, for females.
The organization admitted, "Our base and persuadables want to support transgender student athletes, but are extremely susceptible to our opposition's argument that excluding trans youth is necessary to protect the fairness of women's sports."
Then it cites the benefits of having biological males in women's or girls' sports, the report said.
Kendall Tietz, investigative reporter at Defending Education, told Fox News Digital that the NEA is sending the wrong message to both educators and students with the training agenda.
"Every time we get a look behind the curtain at the National Education Association, its priorities are unmistakable: a race-based, gender-ideology-driven model of activist education," Tietz said.
There's a great deal of anger addressed at conservatives, the report said, as a handout charges, "The right has exploited ignorance about transgender people and our lack of an affirmative, race-forward message to advance anti-trans attacks, further splinter and impugn the left, and sabotage progressives on a broad range of issues."
The NEA further identifies its enemies, with, "Name the villains who violate our values, expose their motivation of getting back into or holding onto power, and position them as a barrier to what our families need."
