I know I'm a broken record on this, but folks, you gotta pay attention to what's happening in the states. I've never seen state legislators off to a faster start than this year.
A thread on what we covered just this week:
(1/14)
Arkansas legislators are finalizing work on a huge K-12 overhaul that includes big teacher pay raises, ed savings accounts and 3rd grade reading requirements pluribusnews.com/news-and-event…
(2/14)
Utah is about to require teens to get parental consent to sign up for social media accounts, and to allow their parents to sue over alleged harm pluribusnews.com/news-and-event…
In their forthcoming book, @jmartNYT@alexburnsNYT report Trump repeatedly demanded loyalty and supplication from governors. When CT Gov. Lamont sought FEMA aid after a big storm, Trump called him: “Ask me nicely.” thehill.com/news/state-wat…
@jmartNYT@alexburnsNYT Trump invited NJ Gov. Phil Murphy to dinner at Bedminster before his Tulsa rally, couldn’t understand the objection to holding rally on Juneteenth. Can you imagine “changing the day of the rally in Oklahoma to accommodate *these people*?” Trump asked - thehill.com/news/state-wat…
@jmartNYT@alexburnsNYT Trump cajoled NC Gov. Roy Cooper into opening RNC convention in 2020, in the midst of the #COVID19 pandemic. Cooper asked if Trump wasn’t concerned about the health of the delegates.
A tour of front pages this morning, starting with the Arizona Republic: “AGAIN.” Above the banner: “Donald J. Trump becomes first president in history to be impeached twice, as House charges him with inciting Capitol riot” 1/
LA Times: "TRUMP IMPEACHED FOR A SECOND TIME” 2/
The Washington Post: “Trump impeached again” Subhead 1: “An isolated president has few willing to defend him.” Subhead 2: Senate trial is likely to occur after departure” 3/
In the morning, @RepAdamSmith ran into some protestors near barricades at the Capitol. “How do we get in?” they asked. “You don’t,” he said. 1/
@thehill@RepAdamSmith Sen. @timkaine thought it was important he focus on the debate over challenges to the electoral college results … so he left his phone on his desk.
“In hindsight, I wish he’d had his phone,” chief of staff @henry_mike said. 2/
@thehill@RepAdamSmith@timkaine@henry_mike House Speaker Pelosi gaveled in the joint session just after 1pm. In the gallery, members were watching live streams of increasingly violent clashes at the barricades outside. “It struck me that the number of rioters far exceeded the number of police,” said @RepJasonCrow 3/
It wasn’t your imagination: 2020 was the worst year many Americans will have ever experienced. My depressing story, and a short thread: thehill.com/homenews/state… 1/15
First, the obvious: At least 19.1 million Americans (and probably multiples more) got #COVID19. Most recovered, but a third of a million people are dead, hundreds of thousands more are suffering #longcovid, and more than 100k spent Christmas in the hospital. 2/15
Nearly half of Americans say they’ve lost income since March. The burden has fallen most heavily on Black and Hispanic households, households that make under $50k a year and those without a college degree. 3/15
