ELECTION RESULT: A team of city council members in Rolla, Missouri, have been pushing anti-LGTB policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship.
Voters just ousted all three of these city councilors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by a local LGBT group.

And there's Marjorie Taylor Greene in her ridiculous red hat, who repeatedly interrupted Biden and was never hauled off the floor for heckling. Hmmm... I guess Speaker Johnson forgot about that? @algreen.house.gov

With all the educational programs and resources about women in STEM being removed, why aren't Republican women in Congress upset? And Usha Vance is ok with her husband working to deny knowledge to young girls about smart and powerful women in history? They're all just cool with it? Really?

Both Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise did Superbowl opening segments. Both were in Interview With a Vampire. Which was based in New Orleans. Coincidence? I think not.

Trump on the egg shortage:
"I'm going to lay so many eggs, you won't believe, so many - I'm immune to Avian Flu and, you know, all diseases, in fact, and I can lay so many eggs it will be beautiful. Waffle House will be paying me, should be paying me, in fact. So many eggs I can lay."

For some reason several months ago I created an alarm labeled "bubblers in snow." I have no idea what it means now. It may as well read "Yankovic on ice."
No idea. Yet it remains. One day I'll remember.

What’s the Point of Trump’s War on D.E.I.? To distract from his larger plan to gut the federal government, the President has taken a relatively powerless program and turned it into an excuse for everything that goes wrong in the country. www.newyorker.com/news/fault-l...

Watching Trump's despicable press conference about the crash in DC, it's clear that he's reading what someone else wrote for the first time. He has no clue.
He's a puppet. A narcissistic, unintelligent puppet who needs his ego fed constantly, which is the best kind.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.
Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

The purpose of yesterday was to frighten us to submitting in advance. I have my freedom of speech and I will use it here and everywhere else I exist online to make my voice heard. No oligarch, no president will silence me. So, be prepared for more Latinx books just as soon as my mourning ends, okay?
