Fellow Texans: verify that your voter registration hasn't been suspended without your knowledge. I just double-checked mine following a link in the article; it took all of 1 minute. Make sure your voice can be heard in November.

Put simply -- either Democrats hold Republicans accountable for this mess when they retake Congress, or voters will blame Democrats for it down the line.

There’s a plural for moose! Moose is the anglicized version of the Anishinaabemowin word “mooz”; the word “moozoog” is the plural!

I think it is remarkable to the extent the opposition party is still largely silent about the extrajudicial gulag archipelago that the sitting administration is using to turn innocent immigrants into political prisoners and slaves in third nations

I’ll tell ya another thing that makes the Jon Ossoff clash so satisfying is that Repubs are the bullies & Dems look like the helpless bullied, but Ossoff punched them in the face. Dem supporters are sick of electeds not standing up. The candidates who get this will win.

The future of the American right is anti-Israel and openly antisemitic, and American Jewish organizations that have gone all in on partnering with Republicans to fight "campus antisemitism" have not remotely adapted to this.

Screenshot from 1939’s Stagecoach of an old rich guy sitting next to an annoyed lady, with the guy saying “the government must not interfere with business!”Same guy turned toward the very not happy lady, saying “Reduce taxes! Our national debt is something shocking!”It’s the same guy talking but it’s two other guys in the stagecoach hearing it now. He’s saying “What this country needs is a businessman for president!”

The excesses of the Woke 1 era mostly amount to cringe public statements, harmless vocabulary updates and loss of prestige for public figures. The backlash to Woke 1, on the other hand, is imprisoning dissidents, dismantling public education and eroding democracy. That's what needs reckoning

Meanwhile, the right never meant any of it. They moaned about "cancellation" for a decade but embarked on mass firings as soon as they took power. They pretended to care about "free speech restrictions" and "educational indoctrination" while embarking on them every chance they got.

Last reskeet: This is absolutely a trick a lot of commentators are missing. GenX is GenX because they were, and always have been, outnumbered in the voting booth. Boomers voted for politics that favored their generation, and usually got their way, because they outnumber everyone. That's changing.

"Tonk" is a Border Patrol slur that refers to the sound a metal flashlight makes when used to beat a migrant in the head. And that's the word that Border Patrol agents under the direct command of Greg Bovino were using when bragging about their arrests in Los Angeles last year.
New court filings detail immigration agents in Los Angeles referring to potential targets using racial slurs.
Civil rights groups are asking a federal judge to bar an “ongoing campaign of suspicionless and discriminatory” stops in the Central District of California.
Immigration agents who descended on Los Angeles last summer referred to Latinos using slurs like “tonk” and “wet,” according to body camera footage and text messages detailed in a court filing asking a federal judge to bar agents from making stops based on racial profiling.

After a June raid at Home Depot in Hollywood, body camera footage captured an agent saying: “There was a guy, I’m pretty sure he’s wet he was just sitting in that minivan.” A text chain revealed an agent referring to “tonks everywhere selling food” — using a word reportedly derived from the sound an agent’s utility flashlight makes when hitting a migrant’s head. In a video, an agent said, “Yeah, just plug us in wherever you see some tonks and we’ll jump out.”

Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.

They want to keep all that money for themselves, to hand out to favored cronies who can help them get elected and to steer yet more money and more power back into their hands.

After ICE shot and killed Lorenzo Araujo, the FBI leaked to Fox News a claim that he was found with possible meth in the van. His family said it was a total falsehood; it was a bag of salt to be used to make an electrolyte drink. And they were right. It was not drugs.

We can confirm the substance found in Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's van tested negative for narcotics/ illicit drugs.
We are not commenting further on the test results, as the investigation is pending.
