The Republican National Committee is threatening to refuse to participate in Presidential debates in 2024, as they complain that the nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates is one sided and favors Democrats, and that the moderators selected are biased.
Ronna McDaniel, who happens to be a niece of Senator Mitt Romney, is making these threats, which even her uncle thinks is outrageous!
It is clear the Republican party does not want to expose itself to any criticism of Donald Trump, or whatever lackey of Trump ends up as the GOP Presidential nominee.
This is another step in the Republican Party moving toward Fascist authoritarianism, as they seem to feel why should people be able to vote, therefore promoting voter suppression laws in Republican controlled states, and now the refusal to face the challenge of their opponents.
There should be a way to prevent such a threat, as it undermines American democracy, the Constitution, and the rule of law!
Youngkin became governor yesterday. Executive actions he signed.

Some schools are planning to defy stupid Youngkin and keep their mask mandates.

The mask mandate may wind up being debated in court.

I hear that Youngkin is looking into threatening taking away funding from schools that don’t comply with his anti-mask order.
So, Princess Leia, he is copying my monstrous, horrible Governor, Ron DeSantis of Florida! 🙁
Republican school districts in our neck of the woods are announcing plans to comply with Youngkin’s order.
Democratic districts are suing Youngkin.
He won’t say how his masking opt-out order is going to be enforced.
