Even more telling, the FBI's DC office personnel wanted to drop the Trump investigation altogether back in May. Trump salted the earth pretty good...

@toxtethogrady It takes a huge amount of work and money for progressive candidates to win.

Hey BethFeb 20, 2023

I love YA biographies. As a teacher, I tried to hook kids into a passion as it could fuel a love of reading, and biographies were a key part of that.

In November I saw this book at our library and checked it out. I read two chapters and realized what a treasure it was. I had to put it aside for a bit. Ignoring all the friendly reminders to to return it, I finally got back to it this weekend. It is amazing.

Yesterday, I realized it was written by @Teri_Kanefield.

GOP lawmakers allege Big Tech conspiracy, even as ex-Twitter employees rebut them

A hearing about Elon Musk’s « Twitter Files » will fan allegations that Democrats pressure Silicon Valley to censor conservative views.
