I am never going to be a fan of a politician. That way lies disappointment. But Pritzker right now is the person I think is calibrating it right.

This isn’t negotiating about social security with W. You either get that or you don’t.

Oklahoma teachers can now reprint certificates with our new superintendent's name. It doesn’t matter when your certificates were renewed. Ryan Walters has been wiped off of the Oklahoma teacher certificate. Another step forward!

Thank you for sharing! It's spot on. I remember when T. Boone Pickens was buying up all the water rights in west Texas and made the comment that someday water would be more valuable than oil. I have no doubt that the corporate oligarchs are coming for our water. Anything to make a buck.

You are so right. I have feared these things from the beginning. This is a disaster waiting to happen.

Oklahoma landowner Mike Loula commented, "I think that everyone in the state needs to be fighting against these disposal wells that are putting this oil field waste into the ground, it's going to come out sooner or later as much as they're shoving into the ground."

My MAGA neighbor, a 39-year-old avowed Republican, reregistered as a Democrat today. She apparently doesn't like little kids being zip tied by masked thugs in the middle of the night.

These are the "law enforcement" tactics federal agents are using in Chicago. Their car is obstructed by a moped so they tear gas the entire neighborhood.

Unacceptable in America.

Fox News crisis actor goes from "gang member" to "member of antifa". 😂

Decoding Fox News @decodingfoxnews.bsky.social · 3d

Last week Jesse Watters spoke to man named Eric who claimed he was formerly a member of antifa. Two years ago Watters interviewed Ramon "Mundo" Mendoza, a former Mexican Mafia member. Some folks thought the men looked similar. This is a side by side comparison. 🤷‍♀️

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.

Why did China stop buying US soybeans, Kevin?

Hassett: "China has stopped buying US soybeans. The silos are full and there are soybeans sitting on the ground w/tarps over them. That's unacceptable to POTUS. We're calling up our soybean customers around the world as part of our trade negotiations & we'll strong policies to support our farmers"

Oklahoma is #1 in domestic violence. This happens when a Republican legislature and a Republican governor cut funding and ignore a problem so they can give tax cuts to corporations and wealthy Oklahomans. Ryan Walters was the tip of the iceberg. We need to fix this.
