If you’re going to suspend people for jokes, need to suspend the people making explicit threats and having the capability to do so. Like these guys…

Back in August, I pointed out that our big voucher program is overfunded by about $137m. That was based on Fiscal Research's estimate that demand would increase 40% from the prior year.
Actual numbers show demand is up 28%, implying that the state's voucher program is overfunded by $188m.

She has children?
Megyn Kelly has a 16-year old, a 14-year old, and a 12-year old at home.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

New Chuck Schumer sock puppet account just dropped
Schumer led Senate Democrats in fighting Trump over healthcare, period.
If you think Senate leaders can control members of their caucus, you don’t know much about the Senate. And before you say “McConnell,” remember why we still have the ACA when Trump and McConnell wanted it gone.

I remember reading o comment on Reddit or TikTok that if fed workers missed the nov 15 paycheck that they planned on shutting all the airports down by not coming to work. The skeptic in me thinks this deal is only to avoid stopping a strike before the travel season.
