No Labels' "unity ticket" would re-elect Donald Trump. And more and more Democrats are saying it.

Alternate view: Young people, their souls not deformed by whipped-up resentments and grievances, and their minds not corroded by curdled nostalgia, are voting with clearer eyes and more civic spirit than their elders.
Money helped the liberal candidate get & build an early lead in the WI Supreme Court race. But look how Dane Co - home of @UWMadison - had more votes cast than the larger Milwaukee Co. Plus, look at the margins. Liberals are indoctrinating young people & turning them out to vote.

Last week, some Republican members of Congress wore these AR-15 lapel pins handed out by Congressman Andrew Clyde, who has a $25 million stake in a company that makes assault rifles.
Gun violence is the leading cause of death among children and teens in America.

And don’t bother telling me it’s too early to “politicize” the Michigan State University mass shooting. In a nation that allows gun lobbyists to write our gun laws, shootings are always political. Prayers without action aren’t fixing this. ACT. #michiganstate

Two-thirds of American kids can't read proficiently! Eighth graders actually read worse than in 1998. So maybe there's a problem with how we teach reading? We've learned from neuroscience and experiments about how to fix this, and we don't. So kids lose: nytimes.com/2023/02/11/opini…

NEW: @GovRonDeSantis - who is trying to pass permitless carry right now in Florida - asked that guns be banned at his election party at the Tampa Convention Center. State law allows guns in the facility unless a renter insists on a gun-free event. washingtonpost.com/politics/…

Ugh.

So grateful to @nhannahjones and @hulu for this moving take on our African American history (and for not editing out my crack about my Costco Jordans😀).

No words for this. Russian Orthodox zealot Maria Lvova-Belova (who also serves as Putin’s adviser on child welfare) brags about snatching and indoctrinating a Ukrainian boy who survived siege of Mariupol. washingtonpost.com/world/202… @RobynDixon__

As the dust settles and races are called on an election that was fought and won on many fronts, one thing is clear: gun safety is a winning issue - from the US Senate to Governors races to state legislatures - bringing out voters in droves this cycle to elect gun sense champions.

Unparalleled insight into what Putin is thinking on the day that Kherson falls and why the deal he wants Kyiv to take will not fly from @baunov. (Spoiler: it's not what you think.)
