Thrilled that my story on the Supreme Court’s religious liberty cases is on A1 of today’s @USATODAY! The story @CQuintanaDC and I wrote about the endowment tax proposal in Pres. Trump’s tax/spending bill is also featured on A6. Thanks to @duanegang for editing these pieces! 📰 https://t.co/jEzjqHAipJ

Some experts were surprised by SCOTUS' deadlock in a case that could have created the nation's first religious charter school. But there are two other cases on the docket that could also reshape religious liberty in the US. Latest from me @USATODAY: https://t.co/DvGEoP5wrl

Hundreds of millions are at stake for some schools with a new endowment tax plan included in the bill. An exemption for religious schools est. after July 4, 1776 has the potential for First Amendment challenges. More from me/Chris Quintana @USATODAY: https://t.co/RglMJo2GBJ
