Property taxes in Oklahoma primarily pay for two things - education and streets. This has always been true. That’s what property taxes fund around these parts.
For many years, Oklahoma politicians have proposed to lower your property taxes. No one likes paying taxes, but we also strongly desire a strong education system and well-maintained streets. Those goals can’t be achieved if funding is diminished.
This year, the Legislature followed through on their proposals. They placed State Question 847 on the ballot, which would over time lower your property taxes.
And the voters of Oklahoma defeated it.
When given the opportunity to lower their property taxes, the voters said NO. As it turned out, they’d rather have good schools and streets.
Defeating State Question 847 was a great thing, and it also sent a strong signal to those who will represent us at the State Capitol in 2027 and the years ahead.
The people of Oklahoma were given the option of lowering their property taxes and they rejected it. The people of Oklahoma have now affirmatively stated in a statewide election that they are willing to pay property taxes for the things they care about. I hope that message was heard loud and clear.

Breaking: Gov. Brian Kemp just said he will *not* call a special legislative session to redraw Georgia’s political boundaries or limit the powers of Gov.-elect Keisha Lance Bottoms. @ajc #gapol

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.

The Republican runoff for U.S. Senate had hardly ended when Democratic incumbent Jon Ossoff gave his senior campaign staff a two-word directive.
“Bury him.” #gapol

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about Beth Fuller, a 10-year CDC contractor + 25-year public health professional who got DOGE'd and then decided to run for Georgia's state House.
She's running as a Dem in a GOP district.
She's currently winning. huffpost.com/entry/beth-full…

Always remember the words of Franklin D. Roosevelt:
“The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country."

This is so scary. Please vote Democrat to try and make sure this insanity ends.
Senator Chris Murphy: “Some of us have been briefed on the war plan. And while I cannot disclose any details, I can say this: the plan is insane. It will not achieve objectives and will set off a new cycle of escalation.”

Putin joins the First Lady in celebrating the Oleshky truce by slaughtering 14 unsuspecting civilians who were just waiting for their train in Dnipro today. rferl.org/a/oleshky-ukraine-…
THE CEASEFIRE HAS COMMENCED
The ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia took effect at 4:00am Moscow time on October 27, 2026.
Timing was accelerated two days ahead of schedule to protect the safety of civilians and to facilitate the delivery of critical humanitarian aid. The ceasefire’s geographic area has expanded beyond Oleshky, within the Kherson Region, to provide safe passage for the humanitarian convoys.
General Valery Gerasimov, Joint Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces has confirmed.

Putin effusively praises Musk and says they are in close contact with him as one of their American partners.
🤔 Putin on Elon Musk:
Elon Musk is an industrial genius. He has more than 5,000 spacecraft in orbit. We are in close contact with our American partners, including Mr. Musk.
It is important to maintain discipline and order in orbit. Both we and our American partners value this, and despite political issues, we work closely together in this field. Elon Musk is a genius, a truly brilliant man.

This is an outstanding response. Please share widely.
Senator Collins, I think you are a little out of touch. This is about a cord of wood — and about Mainers struggling to afford to heat their homes this winter.
I know what it’s like to run out of fuel. I’ve lived that struggle.
That’s the experience I’ll take to the U.S. Senate. And I’ll use it to fight for working people.

Many thanks to @ajkeen for a fantastic interview on my new book, An Inconvenient Woman!
Martin Luther King drove Lillian Smith home from dinner and was pulled over. The ticket led to probation, the probation to prison, and the prison to the phone call that helped Kennedy win. Keri Leigh Merritt tells the story. Full episode: Keen On America — keenon.substack.com

This is like the epigraph for the entire Trump 2.0 presidency:
‘’I don’t give a damn. We’re making a fortune’
