Today we collected 54 pounds of prescription drugs, passed out prescription lock boxes, and Narcan. I want to thank the Oklahoma Faith Network, the Bureau of Narcotics, Village Police Department, DCCA, and Our Lord’s Lutheran Church for co-sponsoring this event.

If you put a pro voucher speaker on a stage for a public school rally, just know I’m going to call him out. Oh and we all have receipts.

Last night, I listened to Representative Bice’s Telephone Town Hall. I am fired up. When the Republicans push back against your lies and political placating, you know you have gone too far. Oklahomans deserve better representation at the federal level.

Today, more than ever, the fight for democracy is a fight for our future. It’s about ensuring every voice is heard, every right is protected, and every person has the opportunity to thrive. Democracy isn’t just a system—it’s a promise. A promise of freedom, equality, and justice for all.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Whelp! Heads up if you are attending the next SBE meeting. You might see this group. It took me 30 seconds on the website to figure out who they are and how extreme they are. This is not it Oklahoma.

The stomach flu is no joke. So, imagine my surprise when I woke up to a barrage of text messages and news articles. Let me say this:I am tired of the good ol’ boys' posturing in this state.They are playing in our faces and hurting our people.Stitt, Walters, and Drummond are all playing in our faces.

This is the standardized email Rep. Bice sent to worried constituents in Oklahoma. I’m sorry, but Oklahomans deserve to have someone fight for them and not back billionaires who are stealing our data. We must have better leadership in 2026.

Elon Musk has access to your personal information. He was not elected to do this. Please call your members of congress and tell them to get a backbone or get ready for 2026. I said what I said.

I really wish that Oklahoma would bring legislative bills that bring revenue to the people, instead of removing rights.

Oklahoma, are you paying attention? Also Attorneys Generals from 18 states and Washington, D.C., are suing to block Trump’s order ending birthright citizenship. States include CA, CO, CT, DE, HI, ME, MD, MI, MN, NV, NJ, NM, NY, NC, RI, VT, WI, WA, and DC. Hmmmm I don’t see Oklahoma on here.

Happy MLK Day. These pictures are from my father-in-law who marched with Dr. King. May we honor his legacy and head his words. “We must see now that the evils of racism, economic exploitation and militarism are all tied together. And you can’t get rid of one without getting rid of the other.”

Start humanizing every issue. It’s not cuts to Medicare and SS; it’s cuts to money that my Mima paid into SS for years, and now she needs those benefits to survive. The same goes for my great uncle, who fought in WW2. You are making cuts to the American people’s well-being. Add your story!
