Thanks Bidenomics! No thanks pundits and media --
The US has one of the best recoveries in the world. Inflation is now lower than g7 peers. The hot labor market has put a real dent in inequality. And Biden had a historically great midterm.

And yet for two years, pundits have been totally consumed by alleged policy mistakes. https://t.co/S8bPpg6O16
Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Education (!) says event known as "race massacre" shouldn't be taught as racial incident --
Ryan Walters just said he wants the history of the Tulsa Race Massacre to be taught in public schools but objects to the teaching that the event happened “because of the color of people’s skin.” pic.twitter.com/Jy3FNqxzjw

Meanwhile, Bootsie's anti- woke "Florida Freedom" freeing educators to flee --
The brain drain is real. Tampa Bay Times pulled records on faculty retention at four Florida universities. Resignations are way up, failed searches are common, fear and self-censorship are palpable. A disaster in the making.https://t.co/aVVTZ1QHEH

More "freedom!": "Freedom Caucus" boots Marjorie Traitor Greene --
MTG getting the boot from the Freedom Caucus just further proves this gaggle of grifters is nothing but self-destructive.

But what it reveals about the GOP is that the party is growing more and more extreme and that MTG is just a mainstream member.https://t.co/ZMfQqB9ouj pic.twitter.com/uBAJ6KcwsF
Interesting that someone was expelled from a House caucus today but not for antisemitism, threatening the House Speaker with death, or being indicted for crimes, or being a lecherous sex trafficker or racist.

It was for not being enough of an extreme asshole.
Spitballing --
Or, and I’m just spitballing here @brithume , or maybe the Republican Party has been marinating in outrage bait instead of news for 40 years and has metastasized into a personality cult in thrall of an inept authoritarian kleptocrat. https://t.co/KOaJ7pz3Ig

Russian air force's Top Goons --
Russian air force certainly the most reckless & unprofessional air force out there right now. Dumping fuel on US drone in Black Sea, harassing another in Syria this week, firing missiles near a British Rivet Joint last year, now rising collision with French jets. https://t.co/nwfhc1oSWA
