Just a dude that loves Jesus and his family. There is only one truth and we should all seek it.

Just shameful that the US is not sharing the burden in the greatest fight for freedom of our lifetimes.
Canada is now a more consequential leader of the free world than the US.
Hope this changes in the future.
Mark Carney@MarkJCarney
Today, we announced $270 million of new military support to Ukraine. Ukraine’s fight is our fight. Their cause — freedom, democracy, sovereignty — is our cause. Good to see President @ZelenskyyUa today in Yerevan. 🇨🇦🇺🇦

@KnowingBetterYT Thats false. Not every public school student takes college entrance exams. Less than 1/4 of states require them and most of those states are smaller red states.
English
This isn't true and the fact that homeschool parents still tout this is embarassing.
Homeschool kids, in most states, are required to take zero tests.
Only college bound homeschool kids end up taking them. Whereas every public school student does.
This is called sampling bias.
Tyler Small@TylerSmall812
Homeschooled students frequently outperform public school students on the SAT by 15 to 30 percentile points higher than public school public school students. Check out something called "unschooling" and ask yourself why any kids go to school in the first place. Not homeschooling. "Unschooling" is where the kids don't go to school and they're not homeschooled either; they just kind of do whatever they want. yes-i-can-write.blogspot.com/2010/02/how-i-…

@cwebbonline If we are going to create black voting districts, can we create cities and towns that are just 1 particular race?
English
THIS WAS ALWAYS THE PLAN
Gut the Voting Rights Act… then move fast to erase majority-Black districts across the South.
📌 Louisiana, about 1 in 3 people are Black
📌 Mississippi, about 2 in 5 people are Black
📌 North Carolina, about 1 in 5 people are Black
📌 Tennessee, about 1 in 6 people are Black
All aimed at wiping out Black representation.

@SandyBro20th So what responsibility does the DoE have for the poor performance in reading? What were reading levels prior to the creation of the DoE?
English
Y’all voted for Trump to abolish the Department of Education 🤦🏽♀️🤔

54% of Americans read below a 6th grade level. nu.edu/blog/49-adult-…

@DemocraticWins Sherrod Brown is 73 years old and what most would call a career politician. He served at the state level starting in 1975. He served in Congress from 1993-2025. We don't need an old career politician.
English
BREAKING: New polling shows Sherrod Brown leading his Republican opponent by 2 points in Ohio. This race could determine the Senate majority. Retweet to make sure every Ohioan knows to vote for Brown in November.

@sam_d_1995 Florida's new map would put them on equal footing with California's current map (4 Dems out of 28 versus 7 Pubs out of 52 in CA) and certainly more fair than Virginia;s new map.
English
just a reminder that Florida voters passed a constitutional amendment banning gerrymandering with 62% of the vote… but republicans packed the courts and ignored it.
By contrast retaliatory gerrymanders in CA & VA passed with approval of voters! both sides are not the same!

@micah_erfan Of course they did, there was a D behind her name. Most probably didn't know what either person looked like, much less any of their policies.
English
Over 90% of black voters in Virginia voted for Abigail Spanberger.
Protecting black political power is about protecting the ability of black people to have a say in who wins elections, not about making black candidates (who aren't supported by the community) win.
Sassafrass84@Sassafrass_84
Yup. You can't make this up.

Just in case you thought people voted based on actual policy results:
77.7% of farmers voted for Trump in 2024.
English
@RachelCoyleOhio Well, gas in OH for example went up 25% in one day due to refinery issues creating a supply issue. Now which president/party has put the nix on building refineries?
English
Who tf do the other 23% blame????
Leading Report@LeadingReport
77% of Americans blame President Trump for gas prices, per Reuters/Ipsos poll.
English
@CameronCorduroy Over 60% of public teachers have masters degrees? Why? Not because they are more intelligent, its because they can take online courses and get 30% raises. My sister teaches first grade and has her masters. IT doesn't make her smarter or "more educated".
English
@KrownCityKing 1/4 of the congressional representatives from these states are black. Imma guess thats considerably larger than the racial demographics of the 2 states.
English
A map of Kansas and Missouri showing 70% of state GDP, tax revenues and teeth… in blue.
Oh…it also coincidentally shows something else.
English
@JessicaTarlov NY already had their gerrymandering effort thrown out by a court. Illinois has 3 republicans, CA has 7, MD has 1, etc. Texas has 13 Dems, FL 7. Might wanna think before you speak.
English
‘F around and find out’ is still the Democrats’ position on redistricting and is even more so our position after the SCOTUS ruling.
Hakeem Jeffries is talking about a scenario when Illinois, Maryland, Colorado, and New York are totally blue. We could get 52 seats in California.
Democrats support a national gerrymandering ban. Republicans would be wise to support it before this gets even uglier.
English
@Acyn There are already laws against it. You'd think she would know since it happened in her state. bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=2f88…
English
AOC: We have to all abide by the same rules. And so if Republicans are going to redraw North Carolina, if they're going to redraw Texas, if they're going to redraw and gerrymander every one of their states, then unfortunately, we have to provide balance to that until we get to the day where we can all finally agree to put this behind us and pass nonpartisan gerrymandering federally.
English
Has anyone, with access to all the proper data, redrawn Congressional District maps in every state using vertical and horizontal lines? In other words, create equally populated districts with no reference to anything other than a grid pattern? What’s the result?
English
@DrOBrienMD OK, you are wrong. The court simply said you can't violate the law and use race as the primary factor in drawing congressional districts.
English
Someone PLEASE tell me I’m wrong but this means republicans could effectively erase Black representation across the South, aka the Blackest part of the nation.
VoteHub@VoteHub
LANDMARK DECISION — The Supreme Court has narrowed Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act with their decision in Louisiana v. Callais, opening the door to sweeping redistricting changes across the South that could erase up to 10 majority-Black seats and flip them from blue to red.
English
@WesternLensman If CA and IL replaced all GOP current reps, they'd gain 10 seats total (out of 69). Their states are already gerrymandered.
English
In wake of SCOTUS ruling on racial gerrymandering, Dem Rep. Terri Sewell says she’d like to see Republican seats wiped out in CA and IL:
"I'd take 52 seats from California and 17 seats from Illinois."
English
@inezalbright2 I am aware of 3. The guy that shot at the WH did so because of laws against legal MJ. The 2 ricin letter were sent to Obama (and others) in attempts to frame other individuals and get them in trouble. None of the attempts were made due to political leanings.
English
What a dumb question. How many assaination attempts were carried out against Barack Obama?
Stephen A Smith@stephenasmith
Whose rhetoric has contributed MOST to the current climate of political violence in America?

@RepShriThanedar Some yes, but I think most of those women have been brainwashed to believe that termination of a baby is not morally corrupt.
English
1 in 4 American women have an abortion in their lifetime.
Is it your view that 1 in 4 American women are "monsters" "pro-death," and "kill with a smile on their face"?
Thousands of your constituents have had abortions and deserve to know if you have this much contempt for them.
Congressman Addison McDowell@RepMcDowell
Today, because I’m in Washington, I had to FaceTime in for the ultrasound of our new baby. It is unconscionable to describe what I saw today as anything other than a beautiful baby made in God’s image. I saw little hands. Little feet. A heart. A brain. I saw my daughter. I’ll never stop fighting to protect the unborn from monsters like this who would kill them with a smile on their face. It’s simple. I’m pro-life. Shri is pro-death.
English
@isaiahrmartin Its not close to what they said. They simply said you can't use race to determine how district lines are drawn. Thats the essence of section 2 of the VRA.
English
According to this new Supreme Court ruling, total blue states like Colorado can draw an 8-0 blue map, Illinois a 17-0 blue map, and California a 52-0 blue map. Time to respond accordingly to this new conservative threat and give Republicans exactly what they asked for.
English
@ZacharyDonnini California is already gerrymandered. 14% GOP representation in the house in a state that goes about 40% Republican.
English
If Republicans aggressively gerrymander the South and eliminate up to 10 Democratic seats under a narrowed VRA, Democrats could respond in blue states.
For example, this 52-0 California map could become legal, flipping four seats from 🔴 to 🔵.
