📌America has not been in this much danger since the Civil War. I bet I have typed that 155 times the past decade, because it is undeniably true. Yet our mainstream media has treated this full-blown emergency like a series of cloudy days ...

Texans know Big Bend is one of our greatest natural treasures. And it belongs to all of us. It's great news that a federal judge halted construction of Trump's reckless border wall that would run through it.

Election deniers Cleta Mitchell and Tina Peters want Trump’s commerce secretary to seize voting machines
The problem? No federal official can seize control of election administration from the states and counties, who hold the power run elections under the U.S. Constitution.

NEW: GOP Gov nominee Victor Marx told backers on a Zoom call last night that he doesn't regret slamming his wife into a door to teach her a lesson about self-defense. "I'd do it again," Marx said. Marx says she fake cried and physicality is just the nature of their relationship.

Of course this is Fox News spin. AKA, bullshit. CEO Elliott Hill never used the word “woke,” nor did he blame Nike’s financial problems on the company’s social or political positions.

Trump thinks he can bribe the American people, but voters have been burned by his failed promises too many times. They're tired of his corruption and the Republicans in Congress who refuse to stop him. It's time to send them all packing this November.

The Cornell community has floated abolishing the Cornell Police Department. We should take it seriously, especially if you think that survivors should have the option of going to the police instead of their schools. I feel strongly about this too, because something people don't understand is that universities at this point are essentially total institutions. For a lot of students, their schools are not just schools.
They're their landlords, their employers, their source of health care, their gym, their coffee shop, the arena where they attend concerts. It leaves survivors with almost no real options. If you can't trust your school and your school systematically discriminates against sexual-assault survivors, where is left for you to go?

13 million Americans are not “a small price to pay” – absolutely disgusting and unacceptable for President Trump to even joke about such a thing as he continues his war. This is a disgusting insult to the nation’s highest office - Republicans & Democrats alike should condemn such callous comments.

Good morning! Friendly reminder that politicians are supposed to work for YOU! YOU pay them with your tax dollars to run the country in a way that serves YOU. If they don't do their jobs, fire them by voting them out.
