Absolute mic-drop statement from Michigan State University Professor Cowen on the rhetoric around vouchers. At least 2/3 of state-funded vouchers go to parents who already send their kids to private/religious schools. Vouchers gut public schools. #fundpublicschools

What you are watching with McCarthy and his Chaos Caucus is a perfect demonstration of what you should expect if you give the broken and irreparable GOP any more power. Those that live in red states have seen the authoritarianism, culture wars, and bigotry...now you all can too.

“I don't know one Republican, including me, that would ever cut Medicare."
who’s plan calls for sunsetting all government programs, including Medicare, every five years is LYING! It’s very much their plan.

Here is who’s plan calls for sunsetting all government programs, including Social Security and Medicare every five years.
He’s now lying because Americans are becoming aware of the money they earned being taken away.

James Comey felt compelled to announce the reopening of the Hillary email investigation because it had already been leaked by two agents at the NY FBI office, one of whom we now learn was a Russian agent.

Today's news:
✅ Growth stronger than projected
✅ Wages up, faster than inflation
✅ Unemployment filings at late-1960s levels
❌ Gloom & doom coverage of the econ - WRONG
❌ GOP plans to raise gas prices, impose national sales tax, cut SS/Medicare, debt chaos - WHY?

25% of all the national debt ever accrued in American history was added during 4 years under Donald Trump.
You didn’t say a single thing during those 4 years. Now you’re using it as an excuse to try to cut Social Security.

Republican playbook:
1) Run up the debt to give historic tax giveaways to billionaires and corporations
2) Complain about the debt you created when a Democrat becomes president
3) Falsely blame the debt on Social Security and Medicare, hold the economy hostage to force cuts

DeSantis deStupid strikes again: "Florida remains one of the 11 holdout states that have not adopted Medicaid expansion. If the state did so it could provide health coverage to 800,000 Floridians while saving the state $3.5 billion."

The amount of attention corporate news media orgs like the NYT will devote to Biden’s classified docs will be several orders of magnitude larger than the amount of attention they give to hundreds of thousands of Floridians losing health insurance because of DeSantis’s policies.

Either Ron DeSantis is an ideologue, or he’s a craven partisan. Either way, journalists should be paying attention to the story he doesn’t want to tell, not just the one that he does.

Scholars will continue to debate the precise definition of a cult. Discussions delineating the hazy line between a cult and culture will continue, and they should. But, as Mestyanek Young implies through this book, perhaps precise definitions aren’t really the point.🧵

A truer democracy is learned in small towns and in rural parts of America through public schools. There is no segregation of kids according to parental income…We don’t have private schools. All children learn together through the public school system.

Trump averaged 2.3% growth for the first three years of his administration. Biden pulls 2.9% and they still can’t resist saying “recession fears loom.” Maybe things are actually going well?

Holy shit. Top Republican Jim Banks just indicated he wants to find a way to stop “young ladies” from “hopping in a car” to travel to another state for reproductive care. He agreed the fact that women can travel for care means “the fight is far from over.”

More innocent people dead.
More families getting the worst news of their lives.
And the Right’s focused on m&m’s, gas stoves, Black studies and drag queens. Oh wait. Not so much drag queens anymore, now there’s one in the GOP Caucus.
