Elon Musk reportedly spent $40M on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful. Here’s how
we would’ve spent that $$:
🏈Bought 29K tons of produce and vegetable oil from American farmers to feed people,
reducing mass migration https://t.co/nkSjSpmLVk #saveforeignaid

One of the more interesting, overlooked stories of the election

Mitch McConnell is why.

The BIG winner of our presidential election is Vladimir Putin. The BIG losers are Europe and NATO.

Small comfort now, but vouchers went 0-3 on state ballots.

100’s of thousands of Trump voters voted against school vouchers.

In KY, Trump won 65-35 but vouchers *lost* by the same margin—losing all 120 counties.

In the reddest wave in decades, voters still rejected vouchers.

In non-election news: Texas' cash balance is down 23%(!) because Gov. Abbott, Little Gov. Patrick, etc were spending last year as if the state will always have surpluses #TxLege

Four Republicans prevailed in five contested Texas State Board of Education races Tuesday night, solidifying a GOP majority on the board responsible for determining what the state’s 5.5 million public school children learn in the classroom. https://t.co/3lGXkLnaNu

@Liz_Cheney We are lost.

This election isn't just about Trump, it's about stopping the radical rich from pushing the worst education policy money can buy in TX. Vouchers are a costly, ideological-driven scam w/ a tainted past persistently failing to improve student achievement. Use your vote against any voucher-supporting candidate.

People only say “don’t come in” when there is absolutely something you need to see inside.

Governor @GregAbbott_TX is now saying when Texas is counting the ballots, he doesn’t want anyone watching.

Something is wrong here.

[Keith Edwards @keithedwards]

Wait... @PeteButtigieg debated 25 undecided Michigan voters?!

WHAT

Is there anything he won't do? this man is fearless

If Texas officials wanted to stop the arrival of undocumented immigrants, they could try to make it impossible for them to work here. But that would devastate the state’s economy.

So instead politicians engage in border theater. https://t.co/U8ErarNgbY

@abc13houston For everyone asking about why this when Dobbs happened in 2022– TX had other law on the books starting in 2021 that caused significant confusion and fear within the medical community.

#KeepTexasRed is taking on a whole new meaning as women are dying at the hands of Texas legislators and @GovAbbott. This is shameful and preventable. I’ve had enough— how ‘bout you? #txlege #Texas #VoteBlue2024ProtectWomensRights https://t.co/vDKEYyq8g4

It was a CONSCIOUS CAMPAIGN DECISION to give the podium to a speaker who compares Latinos to semen and garbage— and he got an entire arena to laugh about it. THIS is what normalizing
hate speech looks like, but wrapped in red, white and blue. 😢
