This confusion is being caused by the DeSantis administration. Recent guidance tells school librarians that if they "would not be comfortable" reading something aloud, it probably should be removed. That's meant to "scare" librarians, this rep tells me:
@petestrzok Don't let the House GOP propaganda committee win by gaslighting voters into thinking all congressional probes are political. Dems need to show that the Barr/Durham abuses were very real *and* that oversight of them can be performed in good faith:
@IlhanMN The GOP case for kicking Ilhan Omar off the Foreign Affairs Committee is very weak. I went through some of the details of the GOP resolution here: https://
Ginni Thomas "sought to annihilate" the "democratic aspirations" of "81 million Americans." Her "deep MAGA mindset" thrives on "victimhood, denial, whataboutism, resentment, lies." Great close reading of her testimony to the 1/6 committee by @fdwilkinson

McConnell's vow of a rigged trial gives Dems an opening. They can try to force votes on fairer rules, and call for admission of new evidence, putting vulnerable Rs in a tough spot. Expert@mollyereynolds helps explain the process. @paulwaldman1 and me:
Shockingly, Elon Musk's strategy of berating and coercing private companies into handing over advertising revenues, rather than making Twitter attractive to them, appears to be backfiring in remarkable new ways, according to the Financial Times:
This is really something. @RepAdamSchiff said on CBS today that the Director of National Intelligence has told the Intel Committee that he was instructed not to turn over the whistleblower's complaint by a "higher authority":
