Wokeness and TDS are the same in the sense that they are a pathology that fills a need for virtue and external validation.
In extreme form, they become narcissist and self-righteous.
If your moral center is grounded in God's Truth, you will find no need for these pathologies, whatever your politics may be.
If you're looking for the QB with the most passing yards, you'll have to go all the way to the left on this chart.

Thune votes with Democrats so this makes sense depending on what your goals are.
BREAKING: Sen. Majority Leader John Thune has been re-elected by Senate Republicans and will serve as Senate Minority Leader in the new Congress when Dems take power. Senators Barrasso, Cotton, Capito, and Lankford have all also been re-elected to their positions. Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) will now serve as NRSC Chairman instead of Sen. Tim Scott.

Idiocracy
Maybe just don't inhale either.
Gen Z fueling tobacco sales as wild claims cigarettes are 'healthier' than vaping go viral: 'plant-based alternative' trib.al/tsOeuG2
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Cigarette volumes in the US continue declining (offset only by price hikes) and youth use is at historic lows per federal data; company growth is driven by smoke-free products, not traditional cigarettes or Gen Z anecdotes.

A "Texas solution" to reforming and addressing issues related to the Medicaid program, including the creation of an alternative program designed to ensure health benefit plan coverage to certain low-income individuals through the private marketplace; requiring a fee.
Reducing ad valorem tax breaks for farmers
Using public funds for lobbying activities

Wisconsin Democrats are going to repeal Act 10.
Act 10 was signed into law by Governor Scott Walker 15 years ago.
Cumulatively, it has resulted in a savings of $35+ billion since its inception.
Can’t help but think how this will be a fiscal nightmare for the states budget in Wisconsin moving forward.
Expect serious tax hikes.
