Folks have got to stop falling for this. There is no greater supporter of corporate, elite control than Holt. He's an OG Heritage Foundation ghoul who has dropped the Republican racism and homophobia for slavish devotion to the elites. He has never deviated from this goal.
A political party that is morally and intellectually bankrupt deserves the rebuke of the American people. It is now time to make America good again. That is an endeavor to which all Americans can contribute, for we are not Democrats, Republicans or Independents. We are humans, and the things that unite us far exceed the things that divide us. We are the caretakers of the American experiment, and the experiment has been rejuvenated tonight.

There is also absolutely zero courage here. R's lost historically. Holt has always had his finger so firmly in the wind, it feels like leading but it is always following. He stands for nothing and will abandon any position the minute it is politically convenient. Bet on it.

Angie Nixon: I need y’all to STAY IN THIS FIGHT. The war is NOT over, 2028 is around the corner. So Ashley Moody, you better GET IT RIGHT, because WE’RE COMING FOR YOU!

Folks should really lay this at the feet of AG candidate @JonEchols. While a legislator and Turnkey exec, he got them in every large jail in the state, while they commit atrocities. Shifting this onto the county taxpayers avoids holding the truly powerful accountable!
Today Cleveland County Commissioners will consider a $20 million settlement to the estate of Shannon Hanchett. She ran a cottage-style bakery in Norman and had the nickname “Cookie Queen.” Only $2 million is covered by insurance and if approved, the rest will likely be paid through increased property tax installments. The officer who arrested her in a cellphone store in 2022 said she appeared to be having a mental health episode. An amended complaint references unreleased closed circuit video of the 12 days in jail before her death, including several days in a holding cell without a mattress, toilet or sink.

Losing a $15/hr minimum wage petition in an era of the first trillionaire has to be an all-time campaign L! Congrats @raisethewageok on running the weakest campaign imaginable! Turns out the play to the center convinced no one!

Harris wrote a book about why her loss was everyone else's fault. The DNC won't release the autopsy. HRC is still going telling how she'd have started a war with Iran. Has the NY delegation supported Mamdani? The lack of grace by centrists on every possible issue is endless.

Love that while this guy is lying about the State's ability to feed Oklahomans (high ability), lying about churches and food banks' ability (low ability), his team can't figure out how to set the gain properly on a microphone or produce even one minute of watchable content!

This is honestly why voters are so misinformed. It's complicated but Republican control both the state and federal government and choose to prioritize corporate welfare over helping people every chance they get!

Never forget that NPR liberals helped create this guy because he threw his entire community under the bus for money, fame and power. Just the worst type of person.
Everyone please congratulate @marcorubio, the new host of ABC's late night show!

Conservatives are desperate to make this Charlie Kirk outrage continue to happen... Promise you though, we've let multiple elementary schools be shot up with double digital causalities and not done a thing. Folks will forgot a career demagogue too. Sick society tbh.

Where is the polling on who thinks it is okay to lie on polls? gtfoh
77% of Republicans believe it is always unacceptable to feel joy at the death of someone they oppose, while only 38% of Democrats share this view (YouGov)

Charlie Kirk was anti-black. Every time a black person was harmed from Trayvon Martin to Breonna Taylor, he openly celebrated their deaths.

Boy @BasedMikeLee’s tone sure has changed since the last political assassination when two Minnesota democrats were shot dead in June
Sen. Mike Lee told us he had just been texting with Charlie Kirk in the last 24 hrs, said he was excited to visit Utah. We asked about Kirk’s legacy and how he should be remembered: “Boundless energy and great love for his country,” Lee said. More of his reflection:

Spouting such ridiculous nonsense about gun violence moments before you leave this earth by said violence and ensuring all of your followers will be foaming to make this problem worse is so deeply sad

btw, according to Charlie Kirk's logic, his death is his own fault, not the shooter's.

Jesus famously said we should pre-murder people publicly because they might do something bad. What a psychotic thing for a leader of our country to say. Murder can just be bad in all cases! We don't need to condone it pre-trial or against people we think we don't like.

Why are the wealthy and powerful so fucking weird? This is psychotic, even without the context that you knew about your friend's criminal behavior!

We're the wealthiest country in the history of the world. These absolute freaks are in a dick measuring contest to see who can be the most cruel and inhumane. Stitt says it proudly, Holt does it sneakily, while giving hundreds of millions to every corporation that comes asking
Video of OKCPD working an encampment in Oklahoma City this morning. Good on Mayor @DavidFHolt for taking inspiration from Operation SAFE. Other OK cities should immediately begin doing the same!

We can house every HUMAN BEING that needs it, we choose not to and every ghoul across the political spectrum constantly finds reasons and excuses to give more and more and more to the wealthy while leaving our mothers, brothers and children living in fucking tents!

There is no hell hot enough for these scummy politicians. Shout out to local media for choosing the angle of a dog being shot and not humans being snatched from their hovels and relocated to the nearest jail or likely just pushed along to be homeless somewhere else. Disgraceful.
