Pausing SNAP benefits in November won’t just hurt Oklahomans in need. It’ll hit local grocers and farmers markets that depend on that spending, but they don’t want us to talk about that.

Our Threads account is getting bombarded with replies from people denying yesterday’s protests (mostly by accounts with no followers, no non-reply posts and no profile picture). Some of them are likely to be bots, but some are not. They don’t wanna hear it, but we’re trying to reach them too.

We forgot too quickly that Senator James Lankford sponsored a bipartisan border security bill last year that Donald Trump told them to reject.

Oklahoma is 50th in education because Walters uses kids’ education as his play toy to score his next hit on Fox. He couldn’t care less about kids.

The #Oklahoma Supreme Court has denied a request to halt Ryan Walters’ controversial new social studies standards, meaning they will officially take effect this school year. Critics have said the standards promote Christian Nationalism and promote false claims about the 2020 election. 🧵/1 #oked

If you’re looking for common ground with Republicans, ask one if they think the government should release the unredacted Epstein papers.
They’ll say yes.
No, they’ll say hell yes.
They’ll say the people deserve to know who enabled child trafficking at the highest levels of power.
Start there.
