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.

Boy @BasedMikeLee’s tone sure has changed since the last political assassination when two Minnesota democrats were shot dead in June

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

The Cory Booker thing was fine at the time. But two weeks later, Van Hollen went to El Salvador, got tangible results, and made Booker's approach look shallow by comparison.
Jeffries: Let's do a rerun of the shallow, performative one, with healthcare for 17M people on the line.

🎉🥳🍾Congratulations to the new leadership at @OKDemocrats! That said, we need to make political watchers aware of a key person in the Dem Party mess and that is failed vice chair candidate Dan Williams (@OKPoliticalMeme). Dan is the worst of what politics brings out. 1/

Mamdani winning is bad for Democrats because now Republicans might call them socialists, something that has never happened before.

This part reminded me of that 2006 NYT Jeff Stein op-ed where senior counterterrorism and intel officials were asked if they knew the difference between Sunni and Shiite Muslims, years into the US wars in Iraq & Afghanistan. Most didn’t.

I will lead the breach. I will lay down cover fire. I will take the high ground. I’ll expose myself to enemy fire to communicate. We must bring back integrity, focus, and put the Warfighter first inside DOD. I stand with @SecDef @PeteHegseth. 🇺🇸
