Want to get rid of Tucker Carlson? Get rid of cable.
Seriously, if you have cable, Fox News gets a cut of your subscription even if you never watch a minute of it. Cable subscriptions is their ENTIRE revenue stream. Not ads.
Switch to Hulu or Prime or HBO Max or ESPN + or whatever. Trust me, I did it. And I'm swimming in content.
Tucker Carlson has said some pretty outrageous things before, but saying that it's perfectly understandable that a 17 year old from Illinois would drive into Kenosha and shoot and KILL 3 people is promoting vigilantism and lawlessness. ...
... Which is not only illegal but incredibly dangerous. Carlson needs to lose his job. Tonight.

One way to control what you see on Twitter is ignoring your Home feed, and using Lists. I’ve been asked how to set them up, so here goes. (I’ll explain why they’re awesome at the end.
In the app, tap the List icon.
Once you’ve created lists, you’ll see them all here. To create one, tap this icon, it looks like a list with a + on it.
Oregonians need to watch out. There is a dangerous candidate running as an "independent" for Governor.
She's trying to appeal to both sides of the aisle & is backed by big $$$, but look at her record on #GunLegislation and you tell me which party she belongs in. // thread
For context, @TinaKotek is the Democratic candidate (vote for her!!), Christine Drazan is the R (just no), and Betsy Johnson is the candidate running as an "independent."
By running as an independent, Betsy Johnson avoided any scrutiny during the primaries, didn't have to spend a dime of money, and just popped right into the general election.
It's here! Political Charge's Year in Review -- a fun look back at the good things that happened in 2021. This has been one of the more popular features of my blog in the past -- I hope you enjoy this year's edition! #2021YearInReviewpoliticalcharge.org/2021/12/29/202…
A few highlights:
JANUARY
The Inauguration, of course.
FEBRUARY
The House voted to strip Marjorie Taylor Greene from her committee assignments, following her use of social media to spread racism, conspiracy theories, and encouraging violence against Democrats.
So, a few months ago, I started making #goodnews TikToks on Fridays to celebrate our wins and counteract the media’s negative bias. Because I use music, I haven’t brought them here.
But I want my Twitter friends to celebrate, too, so let’s do it as a fun thread! 🧵
Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers (D) vetoed 5 bills from the GOP legislature that aimed to restrict abortion access.
Job creation under Biden is 60x the rate of the last 3 presidents! (Not a typo!)
I wanted to take a moment to thank Elizabeth B. Prelogar, only second Senate-confirmed woman to serve as solicitor general, for arguing about women's right to abortion in front of #SCOTUS today. She was amazing. #RoeVWade
Reminder that Prelogar was Biden's nominee. The only other female solicitor general was Elena Kagan, who was nominated by Obama. scotusblog.com/2021/09/prelog…
