Dear #walgreens, Don't text me that my prescriptions are ready if they aren't going to be ready for two more days. I work three jobs and don't need to be jerked around like that. Multiple trips because your system lies and says things are ready that aren't is a time suck for hard working people.

I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

25th Amendment? We can’t even get network news to air it or even mention it. It’s a massive national media coverup to hide the fact the we have an addled president.

Republicans have always been incompetent. Sen. Eric Schmitt, his Republican colleagues on the Senate Judiciary Committee and their staff just elevated that to a whole new level attacking Jack Smith. Weaponized caravan time. Let's discuss it. Coffee With Texas Paul goes live at 11 am Eastern.

Governor Abbott office refused to turn over 1400 pages of correspondence without it being heavily redacted, claiming it contained intimate and embarrassing information. we will get to see how much Musk and Governor Abbott were able to sell out Texans.

THIS WAS MONEY FOR CHILDREN’S HEALTHCARE. A Florida grand jury found $10 MILLION meant to help provide health insurance for poor children was misappropriated for political purposes. Moody & DeSantis took money meant for kids. #GOPWarOnHealthcare

📌REMINDER: 1. Donald Trump violently attacked the country on Jan. 6, 2021, while trying to overthrow the election. 2. He then retired to his dining room to root on the attack for three hours. 3. When it failed, he went on camera, and told the attackers that he "loved them." He's a damn traitor.

Schiff is up. Apologizes to Jack Smith. “My colleagues have attacked you, but NONE of them have tried to deny what happened on January 6th. They attack you because they don’t want to address the facts. The Barr DoJ sought toll records without a peep from my colleagues.” 1/

Flock cameras have no place in Texas. They can piece together an exact map of your behavior — the places you went and how long you were there. Flock calls this “pattern-of-life” mapping. Texans call it something else: government overreach.

PLAN ACCORDINGLY: Vote in person if you can. Vote early if your state allows. Use a drop box where available. If you can avoid relying on the mail to return your ballot this election, you should. Know your state’s rules. Know your deadlines. Help your friends and family plan their vote too.

I work CA polls - there are sites here open as early as 11 days prior to the election. And many open 4 days prior. Don’t wait until the last day. Keep us busy the weekend before the election when it is generally very slow. I also echo support for using drop boxes.

Researchers have found that taking more economics classes can make people more selfish. Venture capitalist Hanauer explains why this is a problem: “Once you believe selfishness is just how the system works, being selfish isn’t a moral failure anymore. It’s moral justification to be an awful person.”
