I would add that we need to return to government competence instead of the reliance on "consultants".

Trump launched TrumpRx!! Trump accounts for new babies! Drug prices down! Trump launched anti-fraud team USAID was corrupt and now gone. And ... Paxton is really bad (from MAGA)

I talked w/a MAGA colleague: Inflation - >> It's still lower than Biden Gas prices - >> Biden was higher than $4!! War in Ukraine >> - Hunter!! War in Iran - >> We can't let them have a nuke! Houthis - >> - Who?!? Beef prices - >> SNAP people buying soda! Public health - Obamacare was horrible.

They can override if a few Republicans find their spines. Or like housing, it goes into law without Trump.

If yard signs were a polling method, Talarico is beating Paxton 90-10 in North Dallas.

Trump furrows his brows and nods when he wants people to think he's smart. He bites his lower lip when choosing his women/girls.

Last night was incredible. 800 Texans in deep-red Longview, TX showed up to demand change, save our Texas public schools and secure the American Dream. East Texas is ready for a new governor and in November, we’ll prove it.

When that orange asshole finally leaves the WH, and he WILL be leaving, the American people need to sue him and the rest of his criminal syndicate of a so-called family, for every fucking dime they stole from us. Every. Fucking. Dime.

I'm in North Dallas. I see very, very few Abbott yard signs. Up until 2 weeks ago, there were a smattering of Gina signs. Today, still few Greg signs. Many, many more Gina.

Republicans want to talk about “men in women’s sports” because they can’t talk about gas or groceries or healthcare or housing or childcare or education or roads or the war or the Epstein files… Force them to address the real issues.

Return to the Iowa Skills Testing, but more importantly institute a 360 evaluation. Principals get evaluated by teachers, parents, peers. Teachers get evaluated by peers, principal, parents, students.

No. That's a temporary and artificial solution that won't do anything except give the oil companies room to raise the price

George @gchandler.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
I could be wrong. It wouldn't be the first time, but I'm till in the 15% camp of unlikely to raise. Why? Stretch it out (no raises) until the mid-terms when hopefully the grown-ups take over. War dials down, oil moves, energy component of inflation subsides.

I doubt if he will blame Biden specifically. He's got a 10-yr assignment. He'll outlast Trump, and so far, he has demonstrated that he's thoughtful and not a toady.

As your post said, "we don't usually have ...". Time to shake it up and get a Mid-term platform. And FWIW, Newt's Contract for America was mid-term and won 54 house and 8 senate seats.

George @gchandler.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
I still do not understand why we don't see a "Contract with America 2026" from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and others. Give us the exact list you are going to focus on: M4A, inflation, education, school debt, housing. The platform cannot be simply "get Trump".

The underlying economy, driven greatly by AI investment, is fundamentally not bad (not great, either). It's the Trump *uncertainty* that is driving rates up, compounded by war/oil and US debt.

The Democratic Party has spent a decade perfecting the art of describing a crisis with the somnambulant urgency of a stoner. But voters aren’t stupid. They can tell the difference between someone putting out a fire and someone narrating a story about a fire.
