I'm concerned kids aren't seeing the same episode of TV 75 times. Nickelodeon made like 14 episodes of Salute Your Shorts to play during the entire 1990s and instead of switching the channel, you simply announced "Oh good, it's a Pinsky one" and your siblings would gather.

Proud of @RepSwalwell continuing to lead by example. "Who are you here for? Are you here for our Kids or are you here for the Killers?" I'm here for the Kids, how about you?

✅ Yes, U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower said: “Don’t join the book burners. Don’t think you are going to conceal faults by concealing the evidence that they ever existed. Don’t be afraid to go into your library and read every book.” snopes.com/fact-check/eisenh…

Reform the Supreme Court NOW: term limits, a larger court, more clerks, end the shadow docket and require all decisions to be briefed and have published opinions, and enact a real ethics code. SCOTUS has gone off the rails. It’s time for real accountability.
