The GOP loves to rail against the "nanny state." But, as their treatment of Texas Rep. Nicole Collier makes clear, they're perfectly happy to run an authoritarian "daddy state" where "bad children" are locked in their rooms without their supper and threatened with the belt if they don't comply.

If their children were locked up in school would they see things differently?

Who will she sue first?

Beto O'Rourke is in Texas, pushing back.

And it's not just the Texas GOP. Back in June, the White House posted on X "Daddy's home," in reference to the President's supposedly "tough" approach to diplomacy during a NATO summit. Suggesting that what the world needs is a leader who's going to yell and hit rather than coddle and coo.
