Amazing and depressing stat. That Dems can’t bring themselves to support expanding and rebalancing a court that has been controlled by their opponents - regardless of which president controls the White House - for more than *fifty* years will never cease to amaze and depress me.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

One more time for the people in the back:

Republicans run as conservative Dems, backed by Republican money, in 🔵 areas because they can't win as Republicans.

They're not there to "work across the aisle." They are there to obstruct Dem priorities and do the bidding of donors.⬇️

Nothing scares the authoritarians more than the idea that the next generation may shrug off the indoctrination of racism, because they see these #TenneseeThree stand firm.

Racism is not inborn, it's passed down via culture, and can be disrupted. It’s programming.

America is waking up to both the threat & recklessness of Ron DeSantis

“A number of elected officials are growing weary as a DeSantis chaos circus continues to lose the national spotlight to its original master in clownery.”

Keep pushing fellow Floridians -silence=complicity

Harlan Crow’s brother, Trammel Crow Jr., has been accused by two women of financing a sex trafficking ring.

“The lawsuit, filed in California last November, names Mr Crow “and at least eight other prominent Texas businessmen” in the venture.”

When Scientific America covers Florida's fascism, you know you are in deep shit: "Moves in Florida to control public education mirror past fascist strategies in ways that are disquieting for American democracy." #DeSantisIsAFascist

“This bill will negatively impact not only tens of thousands of mixed-status families living in FL but also thousands of businesses across the state, immigrants have been the backbone of our economy, will DeSantis raid every business to enforce this law?”👇🏼https://t.co/RSo9kwSSxM

[CathyNotToday2 🌿 @Cathy2NotToday]

How “odd” that Floridians overwhelmingly support

- ex felon voter restoration
-marijuana
-min wage⬆️

overwhelmingly want MORE gun safety laws,keep abortion access, oppose conceal carry

Yet — we “lose” elections ?

ES&S machines are called “the friend to GOP” for a reason😌

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Republicans attack anyone who gets money from holocaust survivor George Soros, yet never say a word when Harlan Crow, who collects Hitler memorabilia, donates to the GOP. So I thought I would call out some of the recipients of Crow’s money, including former Democrat Kyrsten Sinema.

Who receives money from Harlan Crow?
- Campaigns and PACs for Republican Senator Mike Lee, John Kennedy, Mike Garcia, Bill Cassidy, Tim Scott, Tom Cotton, Rand Paul, Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Steve Daines, Chuck Grassley, John Cornyn have received thousands of dollars from Crow.

But guess who else has benefited from this nazi collectors money!

Kyrsten Sinema!

I work in real estate and this is a real message received today from an out-of-state buyer. Great work, @TNGOP. Way to make Tennessee a national disgrace.

Radical right, not conservative.

“After a GOP lawmaker was accused of sexually assaulting 15- & 16-year-old girls he had taught & coached, he was made chair of the education committee.”

@Natalie_Allison's piece is the tip of the spear. Corruption's hardwired in Tennessee's political DNA.

Is #MAGA still falling for the “I am so rich and all-powerful that I will fix everything for you myself later if you give me another $10 to fight off everyone holding me back now” pitch?

Moments after Justin Pearson and Justin Jones were expelled, someone unfurled a giant banner that said "Rural TN Against Fascist GOP" and this clip deserves to go more viral.
