This feels like the kind of foreshadowing an editor would insist on cutting out because "it's too obvious".

New from Sue Davis: The Texas GOP has created a political culture that asks women to set aside character, accountability, and even their own interests whenever party power is at stake.

Angela Paxton's Message: Elect the Elephant at All Costs
Her appeal to put party loyalty above character and accountability ignores the price women will pay if Ken Paxton becomes a U.S. senator.

It must be so hard being a Republican official in Texas. Despite having control over all aspects of the Texas Government for many years, Democrats are still somehow powerful enough to stop any progress from being made. /S Abbott will do anything to avoid accountability.

He's being set up to fail as a scapegoat. He takes the heat and blame, others take control of American military technology and secrets and get away with it.

I mean, if we are counting a man as just being a featherless biped as per Plato, the robot is a man. But as Diogenes pointed out, just because it's a biped and has no feathers, doesn't mean it's a man.

Over the past two decades, governmental bodies, with the help of the courts, have degraded Texas’s public information apparatus—once, one of the most transparency-friendly in the U.S.—piece by piece, nearly hollowing it out. Here's how they did it. www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...

Texas Was Once a Leader in Government Transparency. No More.
Our state once wanted residents to know what politicians were saying and doing behind closed doors. Now leaders are redacting most everything.

Python named Jodie Foster first snake to receive pioneering cancer treatment
Chester zoo resident, 23, ‘back to her usual feisty self’ after electrochemotherapy for tumour in her jaw A 15ft (4.5-metre) python is believed to be the first snake in the world to be given a pioneering, life-saving cancer treatment normally used on humans. The 50kg reticulated python, named Jodie Foster after the Hollywood star, has just turned 23 and lives at Chester zoo. Keepers first became concerned that she may be unwell when she began eating less and spending more time inactive in her habitat. Continue reading...

Every accusation is a confession. Because they do it, they assume everyone else does too. Ken Paxton seems like he's on a quest to break laws in every conceivable category he can.

Quick Tip: "Don't speak ill of the dead" means dont demean, or spread lies, or speak malicious untruth about dead people, who cant defend themselves Accurately describing someone's life and legacy is not "speaking ill" It's the truth - which is self justifying in that it is the truth!

New: The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday ruled the federal government can’t hold undocumented immigrants for more than 90 days without a bond hearing, rejecting a Trump administration policy that requires immigration agents to hold immigrants until they are deported.

Appeals court says undocumented migrants must get hearing
The 2-1 ruling stems from the detention of three longtime Texas residents. The Trump administration argued they didn’t deserve a bond hearing because the government plans to deport them.

Chart showing money in politics is widely viewed as a big problem for the U.S.; partisan gaps are far larger on other issues.

Between James Talarico and Pope Leo XIV, we're in a golden age of public figures who are devout in their faith in an authentic and genuine way that, to many people, scans as vastly more progressive than it is when contextualized by the state of Christianity's public face in the US.
