Do you want to know how popular school vouchers are? They have never won on a ballot. Not once. In any state. Ever. The only way states are able pass a school voucher scheme is behind closed doors. Legislatively. The people would never approve their tax dollars going to private religious schools.

Police murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.

To be clear: As I say in the post, I don't think Trump fired Bondi to prevent sharing NM files. But I do think the NM files can be a politically damaging point of pressure for Blanche in this week's hearing.

Believing that sexual assault is “not that bad” is absolutely a risk factor for committing an act of sexual violence. And why wouldn’t it be? If these men are insisting that it’s perfectly fine sexual behavior, then why would they hold themselves to a standard they don’t believe in?

NM’s AG just accused Trump’s DOJ of stonewalling the Zorro Ranch probe. Letter dated June 30, released Thursday: 130+ days of silence after 6 attempts to get records. Thread on what’s in it A #SheShed 🧵
