This is big: elected Republicans in a deep-red state saying NO to Trump even after his personal plea.

The balance is shifting - and we have to keep up the pressure everywhere.
Indiana likely will not push forward with redistricting despite pressure from White House
It’s a massive blow to the White House’s efforts to shore up a Republican House majority next year.

Here is Trump when he owned the Miss Universe and Miss Teen USA pageants bragging about how he “was able to get away with” going backstage when contestants were naked since he was the boss and he had to do “inspections.”

Yes. And I'm careful to say "online discourse" because actual educators typically do not think like Josh does. Unfortunately many politicians and powerful people listen more to guys like Josh than to actual educators! bsky.app/profile/cars...

A lot of education discourse is at root an inability to decide whether the purpose of our education system is to 1) teach material and measure learning 2) reward students who work hard 3) separate the smart kids (destined for smart guy jobs) from the dumb kids (destined to serve the smart guys)
