Charlie Kirk was a proudly racist, overtly sexist hater of LGBT people and Oklahoma Republicans want to require all colleges in the state to build a memorial plaza to him describing him as a "civil rights leader" or face state punishment. This is yet another obscenity.

He's clearly buying the Secretary of Education cabinet post.

Fun fact: #CarterCountyOK election secretary Diane Hall tells me this is the first time in her 16 years on the job she's seen a Libertarian Party primary ballot.

This independent journalist is really close!
This is probably the only copy online of this week's agenda, too. Big topics to watch imo are a vote on the dome restoration and a presentation regarding opioid settlement funds.
