1. @RonDeSantisFL blasted critics who dubbed a law he signed last year "Don't Say Gay" DeSantis insisted it was a "false narrative" and the bill only prohibited "sexual instruction" targeting young students We've obtained public records showing the law's real impact 🧵 https://t.co/b6foutX3Sv — PolitiTweet.org

@bonerbruiser First of all, there are 1696 players in the NFL. Secondly, the issue here is fully guaranteed multi-year contracts. But if you've convinced yourself the NFL works like the other sports leagues, that's fine. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@bonerbruiser There are only a couple of fully guaranteed contracts. You are sending me a list of partially guaranteed contracts. — PolitiTweet.org

5. The NFL has cited dozens of rule changes over the last 20 years designed to protect players. But independent studies have shown those rule changes have not made a difference in player safety. More here: https://t.co/z95ifSKQOb — PolitiTweet.org

4. The NFL does not have a rule against guaranteed contracts. So why can't even the most talented players get their contracts gaurenteed. The NFL Players Association recently alleged that the owners are colluding. https://t.co/HzkBr7gMzb — PolitiTweet.org

3. The incentive to play hurt is amplified when you consider that the average NFL career is THREE YEARS. And about three years after retirement, most NFL players are broke. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
2. One way the NFL differs from all other major sports leagues is that there are virtually no guaranteed contracts Players that miss a lot of games due to injuries or concussions can be released without penalty This encourages players to play hurt — PolitiTweet.org

1. The Bills' Damar Hamlin is reportedly showing "signs of improvement" after collapsing on the field Monday night. Hopefully, he makes a full recovery. And no, the NFL will never be safe. But hopefully, the NFL takes this opportunity to make it safer. 🧵 — PolitiTweet.org

One fascinating thing about the House Republican's self-immolation is how it is substanceless. McCarthy's opponents have no specific complaints about McCarthy. They just don't like him. And McCarthy has no specific rationale for being Speaker. He just wants power. — PolitiTweet.org

It's funny how the self-appointed champions of free speech appear completely oblivious to what DeSantis is doing in Florida. No one is doing more to limit what teachers, students, and private businesses are allowed to say. — PolitiTweet.org

Oh you mean the people who were ready to trash American democracy and install Trump for another term based on Rudy Guiliani’s ramblings and Mike Lindell’s fever dream don’t have an organized and rational approach to governing? Interesting. — PolitiTweet.org

Something has changed! There are *more* anti-McCarthy votes on the third ballots: we're already at 20, up from 19 on the first two.

McCarthy's plan is just to keep holding votes until he wins but seems quite likely that his support could erode with each subsequent vote — PolitiTweet.org

12. Would the United States be better off with an $850 billion military budget (instead of $858 billion) and much less homelessness? What about increasing compensation for teachers? These are all legitimate debates. But these debates are not happening. https://t.co/TfpCItdVSo — PolitiTweet.org

11. The absence of a real public debate does not mean there aren't real tradeoffs to this level of defense spending One percent of the 2023 defense budget is $8.58 billion That could finance over 1 million public housing units, enough to effectively end homelessness in the US — PolitiTweet.org

@AOC 9. While Republicans and some Democrats insist domestic spending is "paid for" w/budget cuts or tax increases, military spending is routinely financed with deficit spending More details on why we are spending $858 billion on the military next year here: https://t.co/poanHdLeER — PolitiTweet.org

@AOC 8. The budget of the Pentagon now exceeds "the budgets for the next ten largest cabinet agencies combined." Current defense spending, after adjusting for inflation, "is higher than it was at any point during the Cold War." — PolitiTweet.org

@AOC 7. In 2015, United States military spending was $585 billion, more than the next 11 countries combined. Since then, military spending has increased by $273 billion — PolitiTweet.org
