Our k-12 kids spent the last 2 years dealing with school closures, masks, fewer activities etc. Smaller class sizes in @NYCSchools helped encourage growth & connection during these times. Don’t reduce these opportunities! Please fix the budget to save smaller classes @NYCMayor

[Rep. Liz Cheney @RepLizCheney]

Former President Trump’s adulation of Putin today - including calling him a “genius” - aids our enemies.

Trump’s interests don’t seem to align with the interests of the United States of America.

[Jon Cryer @MrJonCryer]

Seriously, @DIRECTV

I will pay MORE for a package that excludes Fox, Newsmax and OAN.

If you stop subsidizing their BS, it’ll be worth it.

remember like two weeks ago when conservatives tried to convince us that infrastructure had nothing to do with the climate crisis

"Britney Spears told a Los Angeles judge on Wednesday that she has been drugged, compelled to work against her will and prevented from removing her birth control device... Excellent recap from @joecoscarelli https://t.co/9PG0erpME3

Just before the 2020 election, Crenshaw's district added drop-off locations for mail-in ballots. Not drop boxes. These were places where registered voters could hand mail-in-ballots TO A PERSON

The GOP tried to THROW OUT 127,000 VOTES

Super interesting map showing just how clearly different neighborhoods (and boroughs) favored different candidates

[Steven Romalewski @SR_spatial]

The map is incomplete (omits absentee ballots) and just represents the unofficial first round #NYCMayor primary results. But it's fascinating nonetheless. We'll be following closely (& mapping) how the ballots move during RCV rounds. cc @commoncauseny

"The CDC should shift to child-centric advice, and it should help parents understand the risk of COVID-19 to children by comparing it to other, more familiar dangers," @ProfEmilyOster writes: https://t.co/ToouE5RMVQ

[The New York Times @nytimes]

A New York Times review of bodycam footage showing the fatal police shooting of Andrew Brown Jr. in April raises questions about whether officers were in imminent danger when they used lethal force as he drove away to avoid arrest. https://t.co/PA9x4u6lSR

Up to 13,000 Black and other minority farmers could start to see thousands of dollars in loan forgiveness beginning in June, as a part of the federal stimulus package that aimed to help disadvantaged farmers but has been delayed for months. https://t.co/72dzvJQt3q

[Nick Knudsen 🇺🇸 @NickKnudsenUS]

I haven’t forgotten about the Capitol Insurrection and the major causal role that the GOP played in making it happen.

Anyone else?

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Lawmakers in Texas on Thursday took a major step toward making it even tougher to cast a ballot, the latest in a bevy of Republican-backed efforts to restrict voting ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.

[Greg Brown Jr @GregBrownJr3]

@PoliticusSarah Everyone keeps failing to mention that the bill also allows the Republican held state legislature to take over local county election results and throw out votes that they don’t deem to be validly cast. They basically set it up to get rid of those 11,800 votes next time. Scary!

Prosecutors say that when officers arrested a Capitol riot suspect at his Dallas home, he was wearing a T-shirt with “I Was There, Washington D.C., January 6, 2021" emblazoned on it. Garret Miller didn't say anything as he was taken away. https://t.co/DSTZl1p3vy
