Damn him to hell

Newt Gingrich is the only human being about whom I’ve said, “May God damn him to hell.” He wears his Catholicism lightly, like a napkin to catch his crumbs. He’s done more to ruin America than anyone – I have a very long memory. Fuck him, and the people who still hand him the mike.

Newt Gingrich: "We are drifting towards the greatest constitutional crisis since the 1850s," Trump's indictment is "a desperate last ditch effort by a corrupt machine to destroy their most dangerous opponent. in a way which… breaks the Constitution, destroys the rule of law." pic.twitter.com/I6TxjK6hUF

Of all the PragerU propaganda you've seen, this might be the worst.

Frederick Douglass takes a dig at BLM while praising the founding fathers as abolitionists and calling the Constitution a "glorious liberty document."

RFK Jr.'s super PAC has been paying thousands to a fringe outlet that warns readers about the purported threat of “Black and brown invaders" with a "primitive culture"; urges followers to arm themselves against trans people; and calls the 2020 "stolen." https://t.co/EIFQxC5a5g

Parent-led orgs like us, ⁦@momsforsj⁩ and ⁦@_dofd⁩ are not going to let a minority of parent voices set the standard of what is appropriate information for our students to learn.

Their fight isn’t about parental rights. It’s about control. https://t.co/ZAjDujSRAk

So this means people can carry guns into the statehouse, and to Republican press conferences?

Absolutely bonkers. Today—two days after 8 people were gunned down in Allen, TX—the Texas House will hold a vote on a Republican bill that ~repeals~ gun safety measures.

HOWEVER:

BIG + UNEXPECTED: A Texas House committee just advanced legislation that would raise, to 21 from 18, the age at which an AR-15 can be bought. Two R reps, Sam Harless and Justin Holland, joined D’s for the 8-5 vote. Bill still faces steep hurdles. https://t.co/FaOVLeRBuk
