This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

12 days of work in over 3 months.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST
Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.
Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

Just spoke with my CDC sources.
They said RFK Jr. has ordered officials to hide tuberculosis cases, even as three active TB cases were just reported in Maine. He’s also suppressing bird flu reports.
Pandemics don’t start with viruses they start with secrecy.
RFK Jr. must resign now!

Newsom’s Twitter troll is genius because pleading and crying in front of an authoritarian does nothing, but pointing and laughing enrages the authoritarian.

The people who say we talk too much about slavery are the same ones who insist that we need public monuments and statues of men who are famous solely for waging a war of treason in defense of slavery.
Statues that were created explicitly to deny any sense of "hope and progress" after the Civil War.
