Dear Mr. President: Oklahoma has great public radio and public television stations. They aren't progressive, they are necessary for this rural state. Public radio is part of our storm warning system. Have you ever experienced a tornado? We need those warnings!

Someone explain to me why it's illegal to give an old lady a bottle of water as she's waiting on line for hours in the sun to vote, but it's totally cool for an ultra-billionaire to bribe voters with million dollar checks in Wisconsin.

Remember that David Duke endorsed the narcissist in chief in 2016. Is he making good on a promise by scrubbing the color from the Smithsonian?

Okies: Remember that your federal delegation is allowing this to happen. They’re okay with you being less safe as we approach tornado season. 🤷🏻‍♀️

All because he couldn't change the direction of a hurricane with a bit of black ink.

Can you imagine being totally cool gutting the National Weather Service and representing OKLAHOMA where the sky tries to kill us daily? They’re okay with us being less safe and people will die as a result. NWS is one thing we do well!

U.S. votes against U.N. resolution condemning Russia for Ukraine war. We should all be ashamed of this vote.

In the 1770s Patriots gave their lives to free us from monarchy and give us a democratic republic. Therefore, the use of patriot to describe people trying to return us to a monarchy is a flagrant misuse of the word.

Man, there are a lot of people in denial. We are in trouble, guys. Whistling in the dark won't stop the economic crash from coming or the loss of your civil rights.

America is back on track to do whata? Deny people their civil rights? Segregate schools? Make polio great again? If you're not scared, either you aren't paying attention or you're in for a rude awakening.

The MAGA regime has opened a criminal investigation into Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia for criticizing Nazi Musk and Pam Bondi has deleted a DOJ database that tracks police misconduct, a database created after the murder of George Floyd. This is what a fascist state looks like.
