@SethCotlar Don’t miss their influence in South Dakota as well. Hillsdale drafted the guidelines used by the state to revamp Social Studies curriculum.

The worst person in South Dakota tries to defend his boss by saying things like, ‘Actually we DON’T support our trans citizens.’ and ‘We OPPOSE expanding access to Medicaid for our low-income citizens.’ (56% voted FOR expansion)
So much for representing ALL South Dakotans… 🙄

.@njhochman long ago outed himself as someone with an unhealthy bias against @KristiNoem.

When his narrative is proven false, he doesn’t let facts get in the way of his efforts to take her down.

Here are a few of the most egregious errors in his most recent reporting 🧵(1/

[Bryce Kummer @brycekummer]

@njhochman It’s strange that you repeatedly frame this as a decision made purely for profits. Have you considered these are SD citizens that want a healthier environment for their trans neighbors? Or medical professionals that want the government to stay out of medical decision-making?

Drug decrim means people who use drugs will never go to jail just for using/possessing drugs.

10 years ago this month, I was a full-time paramedic student on the dean’s list, working at Domino’s Pizza, earning income and military education benefits. I was addicted to heroin.🧵

@_nicoleki @argusleader Oh no! I’m really sorry to hear that, Nicole. I have enjoyed reading your work and I hope you’re able to find something else soon!

No shade to all of these Twitter alternatives but they’re all pitching themselves as a home for civil conversation when what I actually want is a unlimited chaos goblins and then a bunch of us going ‘boy, that’s nuts’

Why I left @twitter or rather why I did not sign up for “extremely hardcore” Twitter 2.0

And the consolidation in Eastern SoDak to Gannett/Gatehouse gutted these papers.

So you have a state w/ 880k people, 9 Native American tribes, a vital ag industry, tons of public & tribal lands, major scientific research sites, gold mines & casinos. Now being barely covered.

.@KristiNoem the last 4 years, we’ve paid a KRISTI Tax:

• Over $1 million on fireworks
• $200,000 to settle your nepotism lawsuit
• $500,000 to overturn our vote
• $400,000 on a new fence
• Hundreds of thousands on misuse of our state plane

Let’s repeal the KRISTI Tax.

This previously unseen footage shows Congressional leaders—both Republicans and Democrats—as they were taken to a secure location during the January riot.

Everyone involved was actively working to address the violence. All of them did what President Trump refused to do.

@JoINrbs Anger. A 0-energy attack in an Act where I only have 3 energy and draw 5 cards each turn. Seems good to me!

From fiscal year 2013 to 2022, statewide interpreter usage doubled, coinciding with an increase in immigrants residing in the state. https://t.co/akgb58mbyT

Kristi Noem’s stance on abortion is extreme and puts South Dakota lives at risk. It doesn’t even leave room for exceptions for rape or incest.

Every mother who is fearful of the possibility that something could go wrong needs to be protected.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

As I’ve said before, no one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana.

Today, I’m taking steps to end our failed approach. Allow me to lay them out.

[Senator Jamie Smith @JamieSmith_SD]

There are so many of us in South Dakota who are tired of the extreme positions. We don’t subscribe to the divisive rhetoric, fear mongering, or laws designed to hurt people.

We just want a state government that works for us.
