"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

Pretty big news out of North Texas, an epicenter for far-right schoolboard takeovers: Yesterday, the GOP in Tarrant County - a bellwether for the state - went 0-11 in the three largest towns; and seven school board candidates backed by the Christian nationalist Patriot Mobile PAC also lost.

This is an absurd and weak deflection of responsibility. Imagine if the commander in chief were pawning off military decisions to his “generals.” The president takes an oath to defend the constitution and faithfully execute our laws — nobody elected the lawyers working for him.

This May 22 dinner is a high crime and misdemeanor. A president of the United States can’t use the office to enrich himself in this way, from potentially anonymous donors for whom he might do favors. This is as textbook as corruption gets.

NEW, a big loss for the right on the (large) Katy school board, in the greater Houston area. Voters have ousted Victor Perez, the board's ultra-conservative president. Perez had championed a policy against trans students that had passed on a 4-3 vote & that prompted a federal investigation.

Texas conservatives who've championed book bans & anti-LGBT policies suffered big losses tonight in school board races. And They seem to have lost their working majorities to pass their policies in big school boards. I tracked these results in FOUR boards tonight. So a 🧵 on each ICYMI.
