I'm not a large enough account to make a difference but I wanted to share our "school choice" experience in AZ. Our neighborhood public school failed last year. No gifted services, no teacher for half the year, etc. So I pulled her and signed her up for a charter.
Thread time. Here's the thing about @tesla. It's not a car company. Tesla is a company that has to make cars in order to sell its real product: Emissions Credits.
Let me explain. Back in 2012, the EPA put out new, strident emissions standards for new vehicles fleetwide. 1/
In a weird rant, Trump’s lawyer says it is “unconstitutional” for people to argue about politics at Thanksgiving, that the country never used to be divided, and the best way to bring the country together again is to drop all these legal cases and investigations against Trump.
The governor of Virginia - a lifetime NRA member - manages to talk about the recent mass shootings in Virginia and Colorado without using the words gun violence, gunman or shooting. He blames “mental illness.”
NRA lobbyists are paying our politicians for their inaction.
BREAKING: Kevin McCarthy hints that if he becomes Speaker he will impeach Joe Biden's DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas — Republicans hate Mayorkas because he refuses to brutalize migrants and separate families along the border. RT IF YOU SUPPORT KINDNESS TOWARDS MIGRANTS!
.@laurenboebert you have played a major role in elevating anti-LGBT+ hate rhetoric and anti-trans lies while spending your time in Congress blocking even the most common sense gun safety laws.
You don’t get to “thoughts and prayers” your way out of this. Look inward and change.
It adds a layer of protection to the data if I understand it correctly. If the repub house subpoenas Garland, he won't/can't give away info because he isn't doing the investigation. Will be harder for house to sabotage.
So, people are telling me this is a good thing, and I'll be reading a thread about it by @MuellerSheWrote because I respect her opinion.
But I am still shell shocked by the Mueller Report, so forgive me if I don't immediately see the good in another Special Counsel.
OK, since it's clear that everyone is here and Twitter is still here, let me just remind y'all that Raphael Warnock needs our support to defeat Badges McWerewolf in Georgia.

This is a really significant — and, IMHO, *really good* — ruling for academic freedom in public universities.
Florida will surely appeal, but hopefully Judge Walker’s reasoning helps to take some of the wind out of the comparable legislative sails in states like Texas…
>> @AlyssaFarah: "No credible person in the Republican Party wanted this announcement today, but this is going to get legs. We are going to be covering him for the next two years [and] there's a non-zero chance he could be president again."
Everyone with doubts about Joe Bidens ability to lead the party has to explain how the guy who actually beat Trump then presided over the best midterm performance in decades for a party occupying White House isn’t *exactly* who should be leading the party right now.
I’ll wait.
1/ As people flee Twitter, or threaten to, in response to Elon’s takeover and the harassment it has already spawned and likely will bc of less content moderation, there are some things I’ve noticed. Please follow this thread and share it. It’s sorta important…
BREAKING: CNN’s Chris Cillizza shreds Donald Trump Jr. for joking about the Paul Pelosi hammer attack, says it was “egregiously bad” and “disgusting” but “unfortunately, not unexpected” because he wants to be “king of the deplorables.” RT IF YOU THINK HE NAILED IT!
