@StillIRise1963 To get fired, a teacher has to teach the correct history of the United States!! Mentioned slavery, racism or reparations, and you are OUT!!

Now that President Biden has had “the Tennessee 3” at the White House, I hope his next guest will be Zooey Zephyr.

I know there are dozens of bills targeting #trans and #LGBTQIA+ folks in the #TXlege right now, but I'm focused on this dress code issue for a few reasons:
—less people reporting on it than the lege bills (before we broke the story)
—It harkens back to sumptuary regulations where #police would raid #queer establishments and beat & arrest people not wearing "enough" clothing that matched the gender identity cops assigned to them. I'm scared to see us going back there.

@1finekitty This omission doesn’t surprise me at all. The defeated disgraced former guy and R party, comes hell or high water, would do everything to get Kavanaugh approved. Ethics be damned!

Let's see Reagan's' trickle down actually trickled up. George W. Bush's deregulation ushered in a global housing , financial and banking collapse and his invasion of Iraq was for no reason as Bin Laden escaped. Trump, debt, C19, and insurrection. VOTE BLUE.

Seriously. Did anyone actually *want* Tucker to break his silence? I was happy with him being quiet for a great change.

RNC chair Ronna Romney McDaniel seems a bit loose with the truth and, when deposed, "...revealed that, at the request of Trump and John Eastman, she had the RNC help organize fake electors for the Trump fake electors plot."

Where do they find such winners?

How can the GOP lay claim to being…
“The party of national security”?

"One senator is jeopardizing America’s national security," Warren said on the Senate floor.

Writer E. Jean Carroll claims Trump raped her in the mid-90s and later defamed her by calling the accusation a lie.

South Carolina and Nebraska, two conservative states that have been pushing to ban abortion, on Thursday both failed to pass new bills prohibiting the procedure, preserving wide access to abortion in those states and handing surprise victories to abortion rights advocates.

Tuberville is blocking Senate approval of the promotion of 200 senior military officers. Shouldn’t Schumer force senators to stay through a weekend (or weekends) to cast cloture votes on the promotion of distinguished general officers? Will Republicans back Tuberville for long?
