As previously reported here, European governments have pledged hundreds of millions of dollars to lure US scientists.
Newly-released data shows that Oklahoma ranks 46th in per-pupil spending, but Walters, who is eyeing a run for governor, has called for cuts to his state’s “wasteful” education spending, including $250,000 to provide school districts with emergency inhalers.
In his KFOR interview, Walters did boast about getting new teachers a signing bonus, but as was widely reported the time, $290,000 of that money had to be clawed back because it had gone to teachers who did not qualify. Some of those teachers had already spent the money.
The SPLC’s report is here. The February 2024 report linked below shows that the same thing is happening in the UK.
Guess who donated to the Texas Republicans behind the new law?
Something something free speech.
Rep. Beth Lear first appeared here in January 2024 when she defended her anti-trans bathroom bill by citing the “millstones” bible verse which calls for drowning anyone who hurts children.
She later blamed “depraved monster” Alfred Kinsey, liberals, and the ACLU for transgender people even existing.
Rep. Josh Williams first appeared here in July 2024 for his bill that would criminalize drag shows in the presence of children. Williams reintroduced his bill last week.

Here. This was supposed to go here. I accidentally put it in the John Oliver post comments. Ah, well.
Comer saying “jizz” is gag-inducing, and I’m a joyful swallower of the leanest protein. Republicans are just nasty.

Hi Ali. Yes I figured you meant it here. As I said they are clueless. But more than that he is rather … stupid. He is trying to sound cool and like he is with it. Instead he comes off looking dumb. Just in the last few days tRump called for the death of those that oppose him, butting “murders and rapists” near the judges who rule against him homes. He posted a video calling Hillary a mass murder. He has called for others to get be hurt or put to death, but his people are so conditioned to support the cult they are exempted for the same rules they then try to use against others. Hugs.

a yard at a time, he is pulling things apart like an angry dog with an old blanket. By the time he’s done, we will be, too. he has managed to disrupt and destroy lord alone knows how many institutions without even considering the fallout. I cannot believe he is still allowed to go free…

Hi Judy. I assume you are talking about tRump. tRump is driven by his deep fear of being poor, of not being seen as worth something. He craves adoration. But there are others who are willing to tear the US democracy apart to get what they want. For Stephen Miller it is to have a white ethnostate where whites are in charge and any non-whites if they are in the country they are servants with no rights that whites can abuse freely. For the wealthy it is the money. They don’t care if the country is destroyed because they feel they just use their money to move where ever they wish after. Leaving the rest of us poor lower income to suffer under what ever rubble and ruins they leave us with. Hugs
