Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

This is genuinely chilling. We all remember that Rob McCoy allowed a convicted child predator to lead a Bible study for kids as young as 8.

His congregation brushed it off, but the internet isn’t letting it slide. What does that say about his flock?

“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have.

I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧵

2/2 Elected officials are now forced to bend a knee to measures that don’t reflect the interests of the constituents they claim to serve. In an increasingly authoritarian climate, where legislators fear crossing the GOP, we can no longer trust them to make decisions that truly protect the public

1/2 Julia Brownley abstained a vote to designate a national holiday honoring Charlie Kirk. Whether she sees this as a tactical move or simply lacks the courage to oppose it, the episode reveals a troubling reality..
