Trump Hump
Proud Boys Zachary Rehl, Ethan Nordean, Enrique Tarrio and Joe Biggs have all been found guilty of seditious conspiracy. After nearly 15 weeks of trial and 30 hours of deliberation over a seven day period, the jury agreed that these guys were guilty of trying to overthrow the US government. These idiots saw themselves as Trump’s “army.” They understood his command, “stand back and stand by” during a presidential debate as a call for recruitment and action.

The MAGA Republicans in Congress are still hard at work, trying to prove that the deep state is real.

Fox light, CNN, now owned by a MAGA billionaire, is going to host a town hall for Trump next week.

The Florida legislature has passed an anti-immigrant bill making it a felony to drive with an undocumented person into Florida, even if they’re family. The bill originally included felonies for having an undocumented person in your home or car but that was taken out.

Test scores in US history and civics for eighth graders have fallen to the lowest levels on record. About 40% of eighth graders scored “below basic” in US history. 13% met proficiency standards for US history. For civics, 22% of students were considered proficient. Since the health of our democracy depends on informed and engaged citizens, this is good news for Republicans.
