There once was a Florida bloke
Who went on and on about 'the woke.'
But the voters assessed
He was truly obsessed
And his candidacy became a joke.

Three thoughts this morning:

1) Putin’s invasion of Ukraine last year will go down in history as one of the biggest fuckups & biggest miscalculations ever made by a major figure on the world’s stage.

2) Joe Biden’s response to Putin’s invasion, Biden’s strong defense of Ukraine, and Biden’s leadership in assembling a unified worldwide coalition to stand WITH Ukraine and stand AGAINST Russia will go down in history as one of the greatest defenses of freedom & sovereignty ever put together on the world’s stage.

3) The world is so fortunate Trump lost in 2020.

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

Once upon a time, the elites who live in New York City, Washington, DC, and Hollywood, the elites who run our country’s institutions, grew very arrogant & very out of touch with the masses. They looked down on the masses and they laughed at the masses. And so over time the masses grew quite angry, bitter & fearful. And then of course along came so many charlatans, conspiracists & demagogues like Donald Trump, @TuckerCarlson, @joerogan, & @RobertKennedyJr, @elonmusk to make the masses feel good. To pacify the masses. To pretend that they cared about the masses. To make money off of the masses. And so to make the masses feel good, these charlatans, conspiracists & demagogues fed the masses great lies & conspiracies. They fed the masses great lies & conspiracies which perfectly matched with and answered the anger & fear the masses had felt all along toward the elites and how they felt the elites were fucking with their lives. And the masses shouted “See, I told you!” And so a great upheaval ensued. And the elites furrowed their brows and shook their heads with condescension at Rogan & all the other charlatans, conspiracists & demagogues and couldn’t understand why the charlatans had such great appeal. And the masses grew angrier and more bitter & more fearful every day with every lie & every conspiracy they ate up. And the charlatans, conspiracists & demagogues grew fatter & wealthier with every day and with every lie & every conspiracy they delivered. And America grew more divided. And the truth grew more scarce. And the charlatans, conspiracists & demagogues didn’t care. They laughed. They laughed all the way to the bank and they laughed with every social media click and every YouTube view.

If anyone received an award for cinematography in 2021 they should give it back, because the proper recipient is whoever was remotely operating this Senate floor camera feed on Jan. 6.

BREAKING: Tennessee @GovBillLee will sign an executive order aimed at strengthening background checks for firearm purchases, in addition to calling for lawmakers to pass a red flag law to keep guns away from dangerous individuals. #tnleg https://t.co/lGf7AuoFGx

[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

The endless news of gun violence is unbearable.

As a longtime gun owner, I know background checks and red flag laws have proven to reduce gun violence and don't infringe on rights.

This session, we’re going to pass commonsense gun violence prevention measures into law.

[Proof Alliance @Proof_Alliance]

Thanks @sslatton and @ccxnews for having @Proof_Alliance in studio today to talk about our work. Did you know the national nonprofit organization leading #FASD prevention and care calls #Minnesota its home base?

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

Thank you @JennaBushHager for making this point today - if we really want to keep our children safe, we need to spend less time banning books and more time stopping the horrific gun violence in our schools.

I have posted this before but ..

26 years ago, a gunman entered
Dunblane Primary School in Scotland,
killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK
govt responded by enacting tight gun
control legislation. In the 9400+ days
since, there have been a total of O
school shootings in the UK.

[Rep. Matt Norris @MNfromMN]

Today I presented a bipartisan bill to streamline the process for cities, counties, and school districts from claiming the sales tax exemption they’re entitled to for construction projects under state law. This will make our tax system more efficient and fair. #mnleg

[Rep. Matt Norris @MNfromMN]

Proud to carry this bill! Let’s support our students and educators and fund our schools! #mnleg

What a powerful photo. Michigan State University students demanding that this must not be the new normal. MSU students demanding that we shouldn’t have to live like this & fear if we’ll be the next victims of mass shooting. Students demanding action — not empty promises.

[Minnesota House DFL @mnhouseDFL]

Today, the Minnesota House will pass legislation to provide free breakfast and lunch to all students regardless of background. House File 5 will keep kids’ stomachs full, help students achieve in the classroom, and save families hundreds of dollars each year. #mnleg
