We decided since schools no longer teach Civics anymore...we'll fill the void.
Today's lecture is on what the hell are primaries!
Plus some receipts / reads.
Epstein survivor Haley Robson: I’m so tired of having this administration just completely dismiss us. They’re supposed to be the party of, you know, family values and protecting children. And I just feel like if that’s the party you are, it seems like Thomas Massie is the only one showing up for it.
CDC Deputy Director Ralph Abraham thinks measles outbreaks are the “cost of doing business” in a world of global travel. Because travel didn't exist during the last 20 years, when we had effectively eliminated the disease. lnk.thebulwark.com/4tv9aXt

So much news happened this week (and is still happening, my GOD!)
But we got you covered:

Ilhan Omar walks along a sidewalk wearing a blazer, with people blurred in the background.
Ilhan Omar: “In the 4 years when Biden was president, my death threats went to almost zero — now they are back up — so there is a clear correlation between his presidency & the political violence that we see & the political danger that a lot of members of Congress & electeds feel across the country”
A photo shows Patrick Mahomes shaking hands with Bill Belichick. A quote from Mahomes about Belichick not being inducted into the Hall of Fame: “Insane… don’t even understand how this could be possible.”
From @theathletic.com: Bill Belichick was not voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility, and folks around the NFL are shocked. Belichick, now UNC's head coach, won six Super Bowls with the New England Patriots. nyti.ms/4qLw22S
Sen. Kelly: “This is not making Americans safer. It is clearly doing the opposite thing…We can enforce our laws without federal agents killing people in the streets of American cities…Kristi Noem and…Stephen Miller, both of them should be out of jobs.”
Voting isn't the ONLY thing we can do. But it should be the one thing we ALL do.
Especially during the primaries.
Help us choose our fighters!
