Hey, JAMES LANKFORD! Ordained Southern Baptist Preacher and Oklahoma Senator. What say you? Your silence is a bit noticeable.

Nelson is Stephanie Bice’s opponent in OK05. Please elect her and send Bice packing (to my friends in OK05, because I live in OK04).
We have to have campaign finance reform.

Funeral Service for Janey Godley earlier today.

In which the Very Reverend Kelvin Holdsworth, giving the eulogy, said:

"To her dying day Janey believed that Trump is a...

...country mile away from someone who should be in power" 😉😂

Carpetbagger Paul Bondar attempted to primary-challenge Tom Cole for OK04 in 2024, but apparently never actually moved to the district and tried to stonewall a KFOR journalist who challenged him about his residency status.

For all y'all Oklahomies in OK05 (I live in OK04, but I'm encouraging Stephanie Bice losing her seat):
September 28, 2025 at 4:19 PM
OK04–Elect Jeff Pixley and get rid of Cole.
OK05-Elect Jena Nelson and get rid of Bice (who, oddly enough, is of Iranian descent!)

I hope that is taken into consideration.

STILL never heard from alleged public media champion Tom Cole (OK04, head House Appropriations). Didn't have time to call his office today. Guess I'll try and leave voice mail if the box isn't full.
The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

I've still not received anything from House Appropriations Chair Tom Cole (OK04--my district), as to whether he'll continue his past support for public media. Historically, he has encouraged public media because, frankly, these appropriations don't amount to a huge slice of the federal budget.
March 16, 2025 at 10:39 AM
I did write to House Appropriations Chair Tom Cole (R-OK04, my district) if he was going to continue to be a champion for public media. Haven't heard from him.

A quick open letter to Sens. Lankford and Armstrong (both R-OK) and Rep Tom Cole (OK04, my district)

FOR ONCE PLEASE PUT COUNTRY AND COMMON SENSE OVER FEALTY TO THAT LUNATIC AND DO SOMETHING TO STOP HIM. IT WON’T KILL YOU TO SIDE WITH DEMOCRATS. YOU WILL SAVE MANY LIVES IN SO DOING.

Among the complicit: Every single member of OK’s congressional delegation, including the placeholder guy StittHead appointed to fill Mullin’s old seat. This also includes OK04 Tom Cole, who, while still a Republican, was semi-reasonable once, okay, decades ago …
August 18, 2026 at 12:44 PM
I still distrust Rep Tom Cole (OK04--my district), who heads the Appropriations Committee. By his silence, he appears to have repudiated his long-standing support of not just public media, but also NEA and NEH (i.e. Arts & Humanities, respectively). His argument being that they are not significant
May 3, 2025 at 3:05 PM
Add to that:

Kevin Hern (OK01) 202.225.2211
Frank Lucas (OK03) 202.225.5565
Tom Cole (OK04) 202.225.6165/Norman 405.329.6500
Stephanie Bice (OK05) 202.225.2132

Also ask all of them how they felt about Trump/Vance/Rubio behaviour toward Pres. Zelenskyy Friday afternoon.
If Lankford/Mullin/Brecheen are your OK members of Congress, here's a question to ask them. Who started the Ukranian War?

I really, Really, REALLY hope she loses her seat to @jenanelson.bsky.social. I don't have a say in the matter because I live in OK04 (Tom Cole), but I certainly have friends in OK05 and they can't stand Bice either.

Wish he had a Dem step up and announce they're going to challenge Cole, actually.

Sickening that Tom Cole (R-OK04), once a supporter of public media, voted in favour of clawing back the two years' of funding that had already been approved. Fuck him. Who's his next challenger?

The U.S. House voted Thursday on a rescission bill to claw back money for foreign aid programs, along with two years of funding for the public media system. The measure now goes to the Senate.

Itching for a comment here from House Appropriations Chair Tom Cole (OK04), historically a supporter of public media:
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...
Trump’s threat to defund all US public media has NPR and PBS on the back foot
President-elect’s agenda and Project 2025 playbook align in stripping Corporation for Public Broadcasting’s license

True facts. That goes for every other House district in OK too.

Yes even OK04 (Cole--and he's the BOSS of House Appropriations!)
All you folks in OK05, when Rep Stephanie Bice’s voting record continues to put the pinch on your families and loved ones in order to shovel $$& to the wealthy, what will you do?
Don’t shake your fist at DJT, Stephanie Bice did this to you.
Find her to let her know how you feel.

SQ 832: YES.
