THREAD: Republican Governor Larry Hogan LOVES to take credit for things that Dem legislators passed with a veto proof majority. Don't be fooled!

Here's a partial list of reasons why Republican Governor Larry Hogan is bad for Maryland:
1. Republican Governor Larry Hogan is bad for the Maryland economy.

Maryland is the ONLY state *in the country* where the economy is projected to get worse over the coming 6 months. #ThanksHogan!

2. Republican Governor Larry Hogan is bad for Maryland's working families

Hogan vetoed paid sick leave (even though he had sick leave *while he was governor*—so hypocritical), and Dem legislators had to override his veto to protect workers.

3. Republican Governor Larry Hogan is bad for the environment

Hogan vetoed the Maryland Clean Energy Jobs Act, which calls for more energy from renewable sources like wind and solar, and Dem legislators then had to override his veto.

4. Republican Governor Larry Hogan is bad for the environment—part 2

Hogan politicized stormwater runoff by calling fees that would have managed that pollution a "rain tax." Now the Chesapeake is full of trash, and Hogan's blaming Pennsylvania. Mmmkay.

5. Republican Governor Larry Hogan is bad for the education

Hogan is a believer in Betsy DeVos's philosophy that public schools are bad and private schools are good, so he sends our tax dollars to private schools. Public school students suffer for it.

6. Republican Governor Larry Hogan is bad for the education—part 2

Hogan pushed the start date for schools until after Labor Day. Seems like he cares more about his big-donor friends in the tourism industry than the needs of public school kids & families.

7. Republican Governor Larry Hogan is bad for education—part 3

Hogan took casino money meant for public schools and used it for his own pet projects. SO MESSED UP IT'S BEYOND WORDS.

8. Republican Governor Larry Hogan is bad for immigrants and refugees

Hogan banned *all* Syrian refugees from Maryland. Including women and children.

Remind you of anyone? 🤔🤔🤔

9. Republican Governor Larry Hogan is bad for immigrants and refugees—part 2

Hogan killed the TRUST Act, which would've stopped ICE from using local police to terrorize immigrant communities. ICE is separating families in Maryland, thanks to Hogan.

10. Republican Governor Larry Hogan is bad for Baltimore

Two words: RED LINE

Need we say more?

11. Republican Governor Larry Hogan is bad for voting rights

Hogan vetoed a bill to restore voting rights for citizens recently released from prison, and Dems had to override the veto. He's a Republican, and Republicans *love* voter suppression!
baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/…
12. Republican Governor Larry Hogan is bad for voting rights—part 2

Hogan refused to sign a bill making voter registration simpler and easier. He didn't like it, but he knew Dems had the votes to override a veto. It passed, but no thanks to Hogan.
baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/…
That's all for now, but there are MANY more examples of why Hogan is bad for Maryland and bad for Marylanders all across the state, from Baltimore to the Eastern Shore to Garrett County.

Hogan is a good politician. He knows how to manipulate the media. Don't let him fool you!
13. Republican Governor Larry Hogan is bad for education—part 4

Hogan vetoed a common-sense bill to put teachers and a parent on the Maryland School Board, calling them "special interests."

Teachers and parents are special interests, Larry?! COME ON.

Massive turnout at Baltimore’s #ProtectMueller protest at War Memorial Plaza downtown — happening now.

@RepSarbanes just said “The Democrats didn’t take back the House — the PEOPLE took back the House.” Amen.
@RepSarbanes .@RepSarbanes: “This new guy, Matt Whitaker, is a walking conflict of interest.” #ProtectMueller
@RepSarbanes .@ACLU_MD’s @DVStrategies: “Jefferson Beauregard Sessions was the worst Attorney General in the history of the United States.... Despite this, a cabinet official should *never* be dismissed as an attempt to obstruct justice and evade accountability.”

1/ Starting a thread about how Facebook is destroying the news media and I also hope to convince 500 of you to becoming sustaining donors to @MotherJones. motherjones.com/media/2018/12/…
2/ Above, @MonikaBauerlein and I lay out how Facebook has, contra to PR, allowed fake news to flourish, even as it makes it much harder for legit news organizations to get traffic. By the end, I hope 500 of you will sign up to give us $5 a month secure.motherjones.com/fnx/?action=SU…
3/ Conventional wisdom is that no one can raise money via Twitter, but over the last week you guys helped me raise ~$100K for public school kids via @DonorsChoose, so I know that's wrong.

Do you ever not lie? A #thread about the cloud of bullshit that permanently resides around @AndrewScheer and the @CPC_HQ. The decade of Conservative economic failure. #cdnmedia #cdnecon
Under the Harper Government, after 2006, economic growth declined in every year after 2010 and averaged only 1.7 per cent per year. In the previous nine years under Chretien/Martin, economic growth averaged 3.4 per cent per year. #cdnpoli #cdnecon
As of January 2015: the unemployment rate was higher than at the end of 2008. Labour force participation rate was lower than in 2008. The youth unemployment rate was higher than at the end of 2008. Full-time and manufacturing jobs fell substantially 2008-2015. #cdnpoli #cdnecon

You are probably being hurt in more ways than you;re aware of from @RealDonaldTrump's four-front trade war (China/EU/Canada/Mexico). This can be told through the lens of just one company: Alcoa, the U.S. aluminum firm $AA /1
/2
Contrary to what @RealDonaldTrump says, the U.S. stock market is down this year - with shares of firms with exposed to his trade war really getting hammered. Alcoa's stock is down -31% since April, for example - wiping out billions in shareholder value (down this AM too)
/3
You might think Alcoa's -31% wipeout doesn't matter to you, but you probably own shares of it. Here's a partial list of big mutual fund firms - that probably manage your 401 (k) or IRA - and their ownership of Alcoa $AA. Vanguard, American Funds, etc.

Here's a bunch of reasons why we have to elected Democrats to every possible seat, regardless of the seat, and regardless of the Democrat.

1/
Republicans have become the party of fascism. Republicans are now fascists.

In order to undo the fascist coup that has seized America, we must unseat fascists from elected positions at all levels of government, from school boards to President, and everything in between.

2/
In America, in roughly 99.7% of elected positions, either a Democrat or a Republican will be elected, no matter how many names are on the ballot.

Every vote that doesn't go to the Democrat is a vote that doesn't increase the Democrat's chances to win,
