My state has had a legislative GOP supermajority for 22 years. Missouri is ranked:
50th in classroom funding
49th in starting teacher pay
7th highest in gun deaths
6th highest in maternal mortality
Republicans can’t govern and you can look at every red state to come to that conclusion.

Yeah, Democracy was rough. Not having neighbors rounded up & sent to concentration camps, not wasting $200 mn on a futile bombing raid, not forcing the military to put on a parade for his birthday, not kicking millions off healthcare so oligarchs could pay less tax, not killing cancer research ..

If you don’t know what Palantir is, or the people behind it, investigate. Or listen to @hcrichardson.bsky.social Heather Cox Richardson’s interview with Gil Duran on her YT channel. He goes through everything and connects the dots really well.

This exchange is so very telling.
Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this:
"I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

43% of social welfare recipients are White. 11 of the top 12 most dependent states are red states.
Alaska is the most dependent on federal aid while California (49) and New Jersey (50) are least dependent, contributing far more than they receive.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

CALL your Senators Monday - tell them Elon Musk MUST be removed from ALL access to Federal documents and systems. This includes YOUR social security info, tax records etc. What he has done at the state department is blatantly illegal. The Senate MUST remove him immediately. A coup is in process.

If Republican representatives believe my state should only receive disaster aid based on "getting into line" with Republican idiocies, is there any reason I should send the federal government my tax support? Let the Red states support themselves without California's help.

In late February 1921, 2 weeks before taking office as POTUS, Warren Harding writes a letter to the richest man in America, William Randolph Hearst, thanking him for helping him win the presidency with favorable coverage in major newspapers he owned & begging for his advice.
