So let me get this straight. If you apply for a job at a grocery store, you have to undergo a background check. But, if you apply to be Director of National Intelligence, you don't? Got it.

When I warned repeatedly that Trump intended to go after the free press in a 2nd term I wasn’t just talking about things like jailing journalists who refuse to reveal leakers or FCC harassment. I was talking about things like this. But they didn’t think it would happen to them.

Jack Smith is moving to end the Jan. 6 case against Trump. Spare me the law & order rhetoric that has come from the Right. Never again will I believe you. That was only for some people. I guess it’s all just a free-for-all now. Every story of terror can be made into a love story. I dissent.

The pomp and circumstance of winning elections & the pageantry of swearing-in all culminates in the literal signing of a form. For the 5th time, I had the immense honor of doing that yesterday It’s a tough place to work but I love the fight. Looking forward to doing as much food as I can.

It isn't "sharing your faith" when you're using legislation to do it. That's "forcing your faith." Jesus never gave us the right to impose our religious beliefs on anyone. When it violates human free will and matters of conscience, it isn't about Jesus. It's about control.

If you are in Oklahoma or know others that are with school age children, please pass this along to them. Defense of Democracy created opt-out forms for Ryan Walter’s forced bible instruction. Let’s keep getting in good trouble! #EduSky #Resist kfor.com/news/oklahom...

I put these out, occasionally, but if any teacher is forced to teach a Bible-based lesson Defense of Democracy developed some lesson plans that we hope no one ever uses. That said, they are Biblically responsible, and turnkey. defenseofdemocracy.org/lessonplans/

People need to know that the FBI doesn’t make the call on Cabinet nominees. They investigate, and they say, “Here’s what we found. Here’s what troubles us.” Private vetting firms don’t have the powers the FBI has, and their loyalty is to whomever is paying them. @nbcbayarea.bsky.social

Trump taps Project 2025 architect Ross Vought to lead the budget office. Here was Vought during the campaign saying he didn't blame Trump for disavowing Project 2025 because he knew it was a good political move.

Another monster from Oklahoma. This one was receiving help in his crimes of molesting little girls by area pastors. We, again, are reminded that the attention our lawmakers pay to our marginalized communities is only harming actual victims. @spencerhumphrey.bsky.social kfor.com/news/local/s...

Netflix says more than 100 million people watched the fight last week, but many reported problems with the stream. What caused it? And why does streaming major live events pose such a challenge?

A Trump-appointed judge just struck down a Biden rule expanding overtime pay to 4 million working people. It's really surprising how little media coverage this has received. Trump faced no real questions about this issue during the campaign. 1/ (link) newrepublic.com/article/1886...

Bluesky is now the go-to platform for political insight. X held that position before being dismantled by a malevolent owner, bots & a far-right algorithm. It takes time to track down the right folk here though. Hence the genius of starter packs! Here’s one for US political insight and… 1/2

BREAKING NEWS: GM announces it will fire at least 1000 workers as they face Trump’s promises of increased tariffs. It’s only the beginning. Food costs will go up because of the tariffs. The workers will lose their work insurance and can’t use the ACA when subsidies expire. Hungry. Sick. #FAFO

Years ago, I asked my local paper if I could provide a different POV for their readers. It is a very conservative paper. They turned me down. I have now surpassed them in readers three times over. I’d love it if you would follow me on Substack for long form content. Sticking it to the man 😌

Okay, so, hear me out. If Ryan Walters insists that we put God, Jesus, and The Bible into "every single classroom" in Oklahoma, how about we Uno Reverse him and start putting Maths into religious books? What could go wrong?
