@TaxLawProf Even more concerning!

[Justin Ellis @JustinEllisNM]

Thank goodness the president is committed to finally making shooting at school children illegal!
Because that's how laws work, right? Make something illegal, ie;possession of narcotics, and it just ceases to happen, right?

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Yes, there's a right to bear arms.

But our kids and educators also have the right to live freely without fearing for their lives in a classroom.

It’s time for Congress to pass commonsense gun safety laws.

@TastingTable Yeah, yeah those are ok, but are you familiar with the perfection that is the Sopapilla with honey?

[Paul Gessing @pgessing]

If MLG can require manufacturers sell at least 43% electric cars & 15% to 20% of all trucks by 2026, why can't they set a goal to improve 4th grade reading (only 21 percent proficient) & math (19 percent)? Isn't that just as important, if not more so? https://t.co/hc1LvEtB0O

@defisof @gewoonzim @NoContextBrits Yeah, that's why they all had modern electronics, indoor plumbing, central heating, motor vehicles, antibiotics....
Lots of purchasing power there!!

This @NickGillespie article "Child-Proofing the World" from the '90s (!!!) continues to drop my jaw:

"What message...does it send to paint the world in the most horrific terms possible, to see danger and disorder lurking everywhere?"

REMINDER: Biden created the student debt crisis.

The solution is simple: students who truly can't pay back their student loans should be able to have it discharged in bankruptcy court.

That would also force lenders to be less predatory in their lending practices.

And it would force universities to make their tuitions more affordable, as lenders refused to make risky, overly-expensive loans.

But in 1978, Senator Joe Biden supported the "Middle Income Student Assistance Act", which eliminated income restrictions on federal loans to expand eligibility to all students.

He then used that elimination of income restriction to warn of the threat of student debt bankruptcy, and wrote a separate bill later that year to block students from filing bankruptcy on those loans.

The income restrictions were reinstated in 1981.

He then went on to vote for bills which extended loan eligibility to students with no parental financial support.

In 1984, Biden used his senior position in the Judiciary Committee to extend bankruptcy exemptions to vocational schools as well.

And now that he's created the debt crisis that everyone with common sense warned would happen, he's trying again to use it as an excuse to assert powers that his office does not have.

Because that's what politicians always do: create a crisis, and then grandstand on your suffering that he caused in order to push for more power and more of your money.

To this day, he still won't push for Congress to end the bankruptcy exemption for student loans, for a very simple reason:

He doesn't want the crisis to end. He wants it to worsen, so he can exploit it for more power.

@MichaelDuncan @ComfortablySmug Also, Congress passed a law that specifically included provisions for the loans becoming grants.... Remind me when Congress passed a similar provision for student loans?

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

You’re the President,

You’re not a king.

We live in a Republic.

All legislative powers, which include the power of the purse, are vested in Congress.

Quit subverting the Constitution.

You are sworn to faithfully execute the laws, not to pervert them and rob the treasury.

@JohnAshbrook @MichaelDuncan Truly the greatest author of our time :(

@pgessing @reason @NMHouseGOP @NMDEMS haven't seen taxation as related to revenue for the last 5+ years. It's just a policy tool for social engineering and virtue signaling!

[Paul Gessing @pgessing]

Three years ago on this day MLG took emergency power. Businesses were closed for good, kids lost more than a year of class time, and many (liberals) went mask crazy.

[New Mexico House Republicans @NMHouseGOP]

We believe that your voice should not be sidelined in favor of @GovMLG’s mandates. The NM Emergency Powers legislation is important to you. No one politician should have the power to lockdown the state without #ThePeople. #nmpol #nmleg

@NMPGVnow FFS! At least have the decency to be conversant in the technology you want to regulate! It appears the only thing you know less about than how to use a chop saw is how to identify firearms, that's a bolt action weapon, as any kid with a hunter safety certificate could tell you!

[Justin Ellis @JustinEllisNM]

@libsoftiktok Ok, how does the CDC have any oversight of education, or language!

[Ted Cruz @tedcruz]

Lefty Twitter trolls live in an alternative universe. They keep saying “what about KKK”?

IKKK are evil, bigoted terrorists.

Nazis are evil, bigoted terrorists.

ANTIFA are evil, bigoted terrorists.

Don’t kill people or burn cop cars. Don’t be terrorists.

It’s not complicated.

[Justin Ellis @JustinEllisNM]

This is actually not a bad idea!

[Locke Wiggin BS,MS,PhD,ScD @Locke_Wiggins]

Police should carry "malpractice" insurance. The department could pay the base and if an officer's actions cause the premium to go up, that officer pays the difference. Settlements should be paid by the insurance. Bad cops might find it too expensive to be cops.
