Trump’s push to amplify racism unnerves Republicans

Could This Be the Beginning of a Trend? #13 Trump’s push to amplify racism unnerves Republicans who have long enabled him 7.5.20 •GOP’s muted and scattered response to the president on race this week underscores how the party is “in decline” and has become a vessel for Trumpism •”It started with Charlottesville and people remained silent then, and we find ourselves in this position now.” •“They coddled this guy the whole time and now it’s like some rats are jumping off of the sinking ship. It’s just a little late,” --- Former Ohio governor John Kasich, a Republican who ran against Trump in 2016 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-racism-white-nationalism-republicans/2020/07/04/2b0aebe6-bbaf-11ea-80b9-40ece9a701dc_story.html?utm_campaign=wp_post_most&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_most

In honor of that Constitution Day, I’m posting an article out of Florida and asking some questions about the Constitutionality of state efforts to support or oppose state constitutional amendments. Your thoughts, concerns, questions, and/or reactions are solicited. Issue: Is Florida’s use of police power to question signers of a petition to amend the state’s constitution appropriate and constitutional? Police are questioning Florida voters about signing an abortion rights ballot petition https://apnews.com/article/florida-abortion-ballot-amendment-elections-police-cfd4e3479498e63e65f1116acd95f7be?user_email=85a5e31f8cb9543141697042262e5f44096be2eb9e8745228d8b4349029af0da&utm_medium=Morning_Wire&utm_source=Sailthru_AP&utm_campaign=Morning%20Wire_10%20Sept_2024&utm_term=Morning%20Wire%20Subscribers AP reports the use of Florida’s new elections police to investigate Floridians who signed a petition, placing on the November ballot a constitutional amendment on ab...

The “Other Washington” Republicans

On Behalf of WEA’s More Conservative Members #29 The “Other Washington” Republicans Since I am an educator, the principle about education is closest to my heart. This principle was revised before Washington State passed its Charter Schools Initiative or resolved the McCleary case. “We value public education - Public-funded public education is a fundamental obligation of our society; it provides the civilizing glue that bonds together the large, diverse segments of our society and the skills necessary to realize its opportunities.” I find the statement about bonding “together the large, diverse segments of our society” particularly important, as it recognizes the existence of that great diversity.

Why it matters: It's the lowest net approval rating the president has recorded since October. The poll is Gallup's first since nationwide protests erupted in the wake of the killing of George Floyd. By the numbers: Trump's had not recorded an overall approval rating of below 40% since October, after the House launched an impeachment inquiry. Trump and his campaign have lashed out over the CNN poll, which was ...
