With Tucker Carlson announcing a new "show" on Twitter, tons of my conservative relatives are flocking back to the site, ready to lap up more of Tucker's lies and bigotry. Checking to see who all they're following makes me sad.
18- to 20-year-olds can’t be barred from buying handguns, judge rules — The Washington Post
A federal judge ruled that laws and regulations that bar federally licensed dealers from selling handguns to people from 18 to 20 years of age "cannot stand."

They're terrified of young voters.
"...he’ll call for increasing the automatic voting age to 25, unless a citizen 18 or older is enrolled in the military, works as a first-responder or passes the same civics test given to immigrants seeking American citizenship."

Vivek Ramaswamy wants to raise the voting age. Even his staff doesn’t like the idea.
The youngest candidate in the Republican presidential field is preparing to announce a proposal to raise the voting age to 25 for most people.

Jesus.
I'm inclined the other direction. I know tons of 16 and 17-year-olds who are WAAAAAY more politically engaged than your average 30 or 40 -something.
As some who has passed said test, it wouldnt be very good for deeply red states, looking at their education track records. So sure, give it a shot and see how well it plays out.They're terrified of young voters.

These people are absolutely fucking insane.
America might be getting too divided to the sports tradition of sports teams meeting the president at the White House to continue.
The University of Georgia's football team is just the latest team to turn down the invitation to meet with President Joe Biden at the White House.
Meeting with the president is an honor anymore for many people, instead for some they are just makes them "crazy mad" and want nothing to do with meeting the president of the United States.

The head of state has called for me by name, but I don’t have time for him.

This really adds to my argument for abortion rights.

Apparently all the Republican senators in Oregon have walked out and have been boycotting sessions for nearly two weeks now:
It takes most of the article to get to the reason they're boycotting: House Bill 2002, a proposal that would expand protections for abortion and gender-affirming care in the state. So it's a play within the current culture war bs the Right is peddling to sow moral panic amongst the voters. I usually appreciate OPB but feel conflicted that they give so much credence and voice to the Republicans walking out before they clarify the discriminatory reason they're staging their protest. Portland might get a lot of attention (good and bad) for being a liberal paradise (though I have thoughts), Oregon at large is full of some of the most petulant, snowflake Republicans I've encountered.
Oregon’s Republican-led Senate walkout enters crucial 10th day, meaning penalties for 3 lawmakers
With weekend negotiations proving fruitless, three senators will now be blocked from running for reelection.

According to a statistic shown on NBC's Today show this morning, Attacks on politicians or their offices are up 400% over the last 5 years.
People are angry, and coming in bad intentions. Just yesterday a man attacked a politician's office with a baseball bat injuring several, including an intern on her first day.

No correlation between the rise of Donald Trump and this at all I'm guessing.

I would argue that anyone over 30 should have to pass the same test to vote, if we're going to administer civics tests.They're terrified of young voters.

In fact, administer them to all candidates for public office, and publish the results.
EDIT: Starting with the 2024 Presidential Election. Proctored, no cheating, potential candidate MUST pass with 90% or higher. Can re-take test but some questions change each time. Results must be made public, pass or fail.

Well, well. Seems DeSantis is finding out that Iger isn't playing around. Good for Disney. I feel bad for those who moved already or quit because they didn't want to move to Florida. Hopefully they can get some of those people back. So a cool billion dollars is now not going into Florida.
Mean while people are saying this is what a true American hero looks like. And that he's real patriot.

I read this as "mean white people", which I guess in this context is also true.
