Raskin: "There's a regime of fear that has come down on the Republican Party. They've looked at what happened to Liz Cheney, to Adam Kinzinger, to Mitt Romney, to others who have taken on the president. They insist on absolute 100% loyalty above everything else."

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.

Terrorists.
Led by dog assassin, Noem.
These people kidnap innocent citizens, and sow terror.

They're not leaving until you make them go.

You know it's bad when @weratedogs.com is upset.

They bring highlights of dogs and they have a foundation to help with dog bills.

Yet, even they reached a breaking point when CBP was given permission to enter after the owner asked them to wait so he could lock up his dog.

CBP let the dog out 😡

In order to end the government shutdown, all elected officials on both sides of the aisle. Give up your salaries because until you suffer like your constituents, you will never negotiate a settlement. #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #VoteBlueforOurFuture

I'm one of those few faculty members who tends to work on campus most days, but I still think it's funny to see somewhat patronizing decanal emails urging faculty to be present more after a summer where they had to move/cancel classes some weeks because they didn't have adequate air conditioning.

AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals

You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing

If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,

Abusers understand isolating someone and making them feel hopeless and scared renders them more easy to control. This rally isn’t going to change who’s in office or get people out of unlawful detention. But it is going to build morale and community, both for those who attend and those who fear going

They are pushing stochastic terrorism in hopes crazy maga picks up on it to go after us at the peaceful national rallies this weekend. All right-wing fucks do it. Media, congress, influencers, you name it.

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

MeidasTouch -
Supercut of comments from Republicans today alone about the No Kings rallies taking place this weekend. This has to be some of the worst, and most anti-American, coordinated messaging of all time. #cdnpoli

Wouldn’t it be amazing if at every No Kings rally someone just quietly and clearly read the Declaration of independence for everyone to hear?

The preeminent pro-USA No Kings document produced at the signature No Kings rally.

Sanders: Saturday, millions of people are going to come out on a No Kings day. Speaker Johnson said this is a hate America rally because people are coming out expressing their concerns.. It’s not a hate America rally, it's a love America rally.

Seconds after proposing a "complexity cap" instead of addressing class sizes, Smith was asked what that means...

Her response?

"I don't know"

So we're back to doing complex policy via "Dani free associates words" again.
