Talarico: "It's funny because I'm the eighth-generation Texan in the race. I think California transplants like Ken Paxton can become Texans. That's what great about our state."

"We can refuse to allow Trump’s desecration of our 250th to be our desecration. All we have to do is celebrate the Fourth as we usually do. July 4 has never been about a big presidential spectacle in D.C. It’s always been about family, local, and community events." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

BREAKING: Core inflation rose 0.3% in July and 3.1% year over year. This is the fastest annual pace in five months. That's before most of Trump’s tariffs took effect in August. It’s only going to get worse.

I drive my 90 yr old disabled momma to her hair salon (“beauty parlor” to her) and some of her medical appts to give my sister, her full time caregiver, respite. Last week at the podiatrist, momma handed me her wallet so I could get out her insurance card. And this is what I found tucked inside. 🥹
Scribbled note that do not resuscitate order/end of life instructions are inside the seat of her walker.
