Working on my scholarship. Using critical thinking to improve the world around us at multiple levels.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

After the Mueller report, Congress had a duty to begin impeachment. By failing to act, Congress is complicit in Trump’s latest attempt to solicit foreign interference to aid him in US elections. Do your constitutional duty and impeach the president.

@griffinsnews @ConradAppel Yea, apparently Conrad just thinks the people of Louisiana are bad people.

[Dynamic Scholar @DynamicScholar]

@ConradAppel I didn’t leave because of JBE. I left because I realized that JBE’s genuine efforts to improve the state were a blip on the LA political radar. I came to terms with knowing that you and the rest of #lalege would drag the state backward as soon as you had the chance without JBE.

I'm not American, so can you answer me this - what type of immigration is acceptable for a Trump supporter?

Would say a white British doctor be welcome?
An Indian or Arabic doctor?
What about an unskilled white guy from Norway?

Is the skin color more important than skill?

[Dictionary.com @Dictionarycom]

The n-word is so profoundly offensive that a euphemism has developed for those occasions when the word itself must be discussed.

The same cannot be said for the term "anti-vax."

[Sheera Frenkel @sheeraf]

Just to recap: after initially calling our story inaccurate, (and internally calling it “false”), Facebook has now confirmed most, if not all of our reporting. They just waited until eve of Thanksgiving when they thought as few as possible people would be reading.

[Jane Mayer @JaneMayerNYer]

The day after Thanksgiving is notorious in the media as the single best time to bury bad news. At the Wall Street Journal they'd save crummy pieces for months to bury then. Don't let this story get snuffed out- too important!

@ConradAppel Maybe the question should be, why isn’t childcare available for legislators?

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

Of the 32 new Rhodes Scholars chosen today, a record 21 are women and almost half are immigrants or first generation Americans. One is undocumented and under DACA. They constitute another reminder that immigration can enrich America.

[Louisiana Politics @LAPolitico]

Hey, two questions Jeff. Why are you making so many radio show appearances? And if you are still in the position of attorney general, why are you tagging #lagov (Louisiana Governor) in your tweets? https://t.co/DEnFyLenDS

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Today the President of the United States inferred that he can, rape, murder and pillage every American & if investigated that investigation would be "unconstitutional" & if convicted, he can overturn that conviction via a pardon

Are you ok with this?

I'M NOT!

The poor spending and investing of the state of Louisiana is embarrassing. Being fiscally conservative should mean optimizing spending (4:1 instant ROI from federal matching for spending in services) instead of blindly cutting any spending! #lalege https://t.co/yYhfJKVIE6

[UL System @ulsystem]

The nearly 1,000 signatures on these boards represent the 91,500 students who attend the Universities of Louisiana. They’re asking for stable funding and the fulfillment of the TOPS promise. #lalege #TOPS #ULSDay #InvestULS

[Dynamic Scholar @DynamicScholar]

@TweettheSouth Full disclosure, I had to look up “mossback” and I was raised conservative in the Midwest. Conservatism never meant that diversity couldn’t occur. On the contrary, we actively hoped to increase diversity by bringing others to see the benefit of a conservative perspective. #lalege

[Dynamic Scholar @DynamicScholar]

@ConradAppel I’m confused, why is increasing diversity a detriment to economic growth? Is this a Louisiana specific issue? #lalege

[Dynamic Scholar @DynamicScholar]

@JulieEmerson For clarification, what is your stance on whether Jesus should have been given the death penalty? Further, how does Jesus needing to die for our salvation relate to the current use of the death penalty? #lalege

This is a very impressive group of students https://t.co/X4Tzk2XauA

[Pew Research Center @pewresearch]

The estimated 18-cent gender pay gap among all workers in 2017 has narrowed from 36 cents in 1980. But why does a gender pay gap still persist? https://t.co/Bmt5dJuQNw
