You've probably noticed Republicans led by Betsy DeVos -- aided by some Democrats who are hostile to public education -- are attempting to rewrite the history of the pandemic.

The think they have a chance advance right wing educational policies parents have rejected for decades. To muddy the debate and distract from the failures of the policies DeVos has backed in Michigan, Betsy & her allies are attempting to smear and scapegoat the president of the AFT -- Randi Weingarten, a Jewish lesbian who taught in Brooklyn for 6 years.

He's going to try anything that makes the company more reliant on squeezing money out of his fans -- as a way to have to not be accountable to advertisers or anyone.

But ultimately, he can try shitty idea after shitty idea because this isn't a business for him. It's a crusade. The simplest thing Elon could do to make more money off this site is to just stop tweeting.

And, he'll never ever do that.

Beyond reminding us how weak and enthralled Kevin McCarthy is to the insurrectionists who made him Speaker, Tucker's January 6th Reverse Reichstag proves the two things that should be obvious. 1. The Murdochs have no remorse about the Dominion case or the insurrection they inspired.

2. Fox is as pro-Trump as it has ever been. Because it has to be.

This silly BS is a prebuttal for any Trump indictments, while whitewashing the sea of convictions related to the coup

Trump will win the GOP primary for the same reason he did in 2016. His opponents won't touch the issue that disqualifies him because they're afraid it it will end their career not his.

In 2016, they couldn't call him out for being a birther. In 2024, they won't call him a loser. Birtherism was a barely concealed dog whistle that no mainstream Republican really wanted to touch. But it was a dog whistle and thus core to GOP politics.

Calling Trump a loser means you accept democracy that allows Democrats to win. That's also unacceptable to the GOP base.

Here's the story that the press & even Dems are missing about the GOP chaos on Capitol Hill:

These 20 Trump Republicans want the same thing Trump wants -- the power to destroy the country if they don't get what they want.

That's what this is all about.

editorialboard.com/obstruction-in… These 20 Republicans -- nearly all insurrectionists by proxy -- aren't trying to break Kevin McCarthy.

McCarthy is already broken.

Trump's tax returns are the logical conclusion of every Republican policy which all aims towards toward one goal --

making sure rich dudes get every opportunity to rip your ass off. All the hating gay people, immigrants and banning books is to keep the base activated so the rich can keep ripping you off.

Romney/Ryan were shy & cloaked it in "responsibility."

The Trump version is "Hell ya we're ripping you off and we have to because of [insert foreigners]"

If you're reading this, there's a good chance you're a weirdo.

We the weirdos care about the post-Musk future of Twitter and keep asking ourselves if we should stay or go.

I talked to @TheDailyEdge earlier this week about why my answer is still, "Both."

thedailyedge.substack.com/p/the-twitter-… @TheDailyEdge I call us weirdos because, as @travis_view noted, the vast majority of Americans aren't on Twitter. And of those on Twitter 90% tweet 2x or less a month.

We, however, post away. And we cannot deny that we are now Musk's dream employees -- unpaid interns who live at work.

Here are a few of the 48 janitors who Scrooge McMusk fired without notice right before Christmas, days before he sneakily sold $3,800,000,000 in Tesla’s stock Image You know who had no problem with being in Twitter’s offices in downtown SF every single day? The janitors who’d served the company for years.

Didn’t stop Scrooge McMusk from trying to impoverish them right before Christmas.

Enjoy losing on this issue with arguments from last century for the rest of your sad life Image Funny how they never mention that they think protecting interracial is a "slippery slope."

Because they do.

I guess we have to thank Donald Trump for making Arizona and Georgia competitive a decade early. You hear a lot of "It shouldn't even be this close!" And that's true. But if it weren't for Trump, it wouldn't be close at all. The Republican candidate, certainly not Herschel Walker, would just be crushing.

"This time, the collusion between Trump and the Russians was right out in the open. With Trump’s support, Giuliani spent much of 2019 ostentatiously shuttling to Ukraine and huddling with Kremlin-linked oligarchs..."
editorialboard.com/house-republic… The big story of the Hunter email theft -- the story that has world historical significance, given the invasion of Ukraine -- is that for the second election, the GOP sought Putin's help and used it against our democracy.

They're just crying because this time it didn't work.

There are lots of reasons why this (likely) Putin active measure didn’t work and the ones against Hillary did. And they have nothing to do with Twitter. 1. Misogyny 2. Attacking a candidate’s kid is almost going to make you look worse. 3. Did you know that Donald Trump has kids? This is the only part of the Hunter laptop of any significance and it's way under-discussed -- and it's of world historical significance: the GOP AGAIN relied on Putin's help to win.

The Hunter thing is all GRU-via-Giuliani.

It’s true that they’re good of making a story out of Hunter’s “laptop” while ignoring the vastly more significant corrupt real deals involving, say, Kushner.

But this is like their 3rd whiff at this. Only weirdos care. The Hillary stuff proved what they’re good at is misogyny. The one real use of Elon trying to Weekend at Bernie’s the laptop is that it, to borrow a phrase, unites the right. Even the Republicans who pretend to be disgusted by Trump and Rudy get to run around pounding their chests about Trump and Rudy’s favorite swill like total bores.

Literally the only amazing thing about this story is that you think there are normal adults who give a shit about it OMG, the CEO didn't immediately get involved in some BS content moderation issue. This is like Watergate, except sad and tedious.

He's just going to come with random excuses to ban anyone to the left of him, which is nearly all of America, while letting the Nazis and antivaxxers run wild.

Meanwhile from the right, we got the guy who bought a teen beauty pageant so he could walk in on the contestants changing. Obviously, the guys who spend their lives fantasizing about genitals of high school athletes have no real interest in desexualizing children.

I went to middle school with Candace Cameron Bure for a year. Does anyone care enough about this to AMA? (She only went to school like 1/5th of the year.)

Republicans are stuck with Trump.

They can't attack him because:
1) He will try to destroy them
2) As soon as they attack, they'll be subject to death threats and constant harassment
3) Right-wingers are inherently cowardly and hierarchical
4) It would require collective action Here's the counterpoint. But Christie has absolutely no constituency in the Republican Party.

THIS IS NOT THE STORY.

He got several people killed trying to make himself a dictator and now he wants a second chance while under investigation for some of the worst espionage crimes in American history.

There's no parallel in US history. Better off looking to a beet hall. You'd think "Man who tried to make himself dictator to try again" would be the headline of every Trump announces story but not when the press has poll numbers to push!
