I might prefer to slip back into the coma…

If you’ve recently awoken from a coma, the Speaker of the House is stalling the swearing in of a newly elected member from Arizona because she would be the deciding vote in the discharge petition to release the Epstein files, which would be trouble for his boss.

You’re caught up.

Ps: Welcome back.

AOC: When one party wants the votes of another party. You negotiate, you come to a compromise and you pass a bill. That is schoolhouse rock. And that is how things should be

Hey Mike Johnson – the more you facilitate a cover-up and do everything in your power to prevent the release of the Epstein files – the more your constituents, the American public, and the whole world are going to believe you are guilty of the exact same types of crimes as Jeffrey Epstein.

In the story the GOP justices told Wed, Louisiana’s cracking and packing of black voters to decrease their electoral power isn't racial discrimination - but remedying that theft is. Against white voters. It's the central grievance of Republican politics.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

Let’s stop pretending. The issue before the Supreme Court right now is easy to understand: There are still many people on the far right who don’t see Black Americans as equals...they see them through the same filthy slur they whisper when the cameras are off. That's right...that word.

Finally, some common sense from Oklahoma education.

Ryan Walters turned classrooms into culture war battlegrounds. Reversing his Bible mandate isn’t “anti-religion,” it’s accepting the fact that the Bible is not a history book!

Schools should teach, not preach.

It’s time to abandon the idea of chasing after “swing voters.”

We gotta start targeting the angry. Those who have been failed by the system. Those who are being screwed every day despite giving it their all.
