I don't want any Democrat to work with any Republican on any Trump agenda item.

Trump, and by extension the American government, has sold out our ally and is now on the side of Putin’s despotism. This is what 77 million Americans voted for in pulling the lever for him. Trump’s fondness for Putin was no mystery. It’s a stain upon our country and a disgrace.
🚨The Trump administration is considering ending all ongoing shipments of military aid to Ukraine in response to Zelensky’s remarks in the Oval Office on Friday and his perceived intransigence in the peace process, per senior administration official

Why are there no mainstream OKC media posting here? Nothing from @koconews.bsky.social, @kfor4.bsky.social, KOKH, KWTV, The Oklahoman? A few of my favorite reporters, but all the official presence seems to be on Meta and the Nazi place?

"The agency directors I appointed and that the voters elected are too damn stupid to manage their own staffing needs, so I, King Stitt, must micromanage" - our Governor, apparently.
Oklahoma @GovStitt defends his return-to-work mandate, saying it improves productivity and accountability. But some lawmakers – including his fellow Republicans – worry it could push talent to the private sector. #okleg #okgov #WFH

Markwayne had $1.4 million in PPP "loans" forgiven. This American would prefer that money pay federal workers rather than a man who has increased his net worth exponentially with insider stock trades since joining Congress.
WELKER: Talk to the people in Oklahoma who have lost their jobs. What's your message to them? They say enough of these cuts.
MARKWAYNE MULLIN: I would tell you that the majority of the American people want to make sure that their tax dollars are being used correctly

I just read FB comments on this story. Damn! Okies really hate their neighbors. "If I can't have it nobody should have it. Especially the people working low paying jobs trying to serve me and the people of Oklahoma." Teachers get so much worse here, but I'm starting to feel it, too.
❗ GOVERNOR STITT SUED- State Rep. Andy Fugate announced a lawsuit against Governor Kevin Stitt over his executive order directing all full-time state employees to work in their agencies’ physical offices. The filing argues his order violated the separation of powers. #oklahoma

Look bringing back polio sounds bad. But it’s a small price to pay to get rid of pronouns in email signatures and black women in star wars.

I'd like to congratulate the many, many current and former Servicemembers who voted for Trump last month. Seeing the entire VA on the chopping block is very exciting* news.
*Leopards, in particular, are licking their chops.

Just passed a woman going 20 miles slower than the rest of traffic while she's chugging a beer. Dallas holiday traffic is brutal.

20 years ago, in an amazing display of foresight, I got married. So now I don't have to spend today with *those* relatives. Sorry (not sorry), family, vacation awaits 🤷🏻♂️🚢🌴🤿

"Have the day you deserve" seems to meet with similar hostility. I wonder why?
Why do Trump supporters get angry when we say: "We hope everything you voted for happens to you."

My Oklahoma teacher friend and I used to talk about the novels her middle school students got to read in class. Then short stories. Then excerpts from novels. Then paragraphs from stories.
Now, after 14 years of Republican control, she can tell you exactly how many hours are left in the school year.
