Alert ⚠️ An ICE officer shot 28-year-old Wilber Rafael Garces Perez in North Austin today after a traffic stop. He was shot in the torso and hospitalized in serious but stable condition. His attorney says Perez, a Venezuelan national, entered the U.S. legally and had a valid work permit.

Lifelong Texas Republican says data centers are why he’d vote Democrat: “This is the first time in my adult life where there's been an issue that's come up that I feel like is going to directly impact me.” (Again: only when it impacts them personally)

Still pretty funny to me that the guy who will die if he doesn't get a ballroom has hosted a grand total of 4 state dinners in 6 years. The fewest of any modern president, by far.

This Supreme Court supermajority is in cahoots with Trump and his anti-democratic regime to deny the sacred voting rights of American citizens. Their “emergency” mail-in-ballot ruling will create uncertainty, chaos & disenfranchisement. This court is an abomination, making an expand court critical.
