All Paxton needs to do is release the public purpose of each of the questionable trips. Easy peasy. So why doesn't he tell Texans how he was using our money?

ICE is terrorizing children even many who are US citizens.

Democrats tried to amend DHS and ICE funding to state US citizens may not be detained or arrested (or of course may not be shot) but Republicans voted that down.

So she is married but runs for office using her maiden name. Just as dishonest as hiding that her husband's business is mainly supported by Chinese trade.

The idiot Trump stated displeasure with Norway when Nobel Prizes are administered in Sweden. He sent a letter last year or two to Norwegian Parliament that it did not give him Nobel& refused to give him Greenland (that is Denmark). Surely his staff told him what's what after that debacle.

People are drawing down their savings and going into debt because not taxing billionaires and allowing corporations to pay dwindling wages to workers is a lousy economy

I was rooting for Minneapolis. But a peace activist and one of the ICC supporters who name Israeli destruction in Gaza as genocide is certainly worthy.

I quit Microsoft altogether. Cannot get it to let me work on my computer instead of in the cloud, which is slow and annoying. I worked hard to install it with safeguards against it reading my content, collecting info on me. Then they started pushing "updates" that undid all my security guards.

Democrats do not need to waste time on impeachment. Work on legislation and investigate corruption.

Jury found Blue Cross owed hospital $241 million for underpayment and denied payments. It's being appealed of course but maybe it will stick.

Yes. If rapists were actually punished with years in prison pretty soon their genes would not be passed on and there would be far fewer rapes.

Republicans will not vote to remove Trump. Waste of time to impeach. Let's concentrate on getting bills for working people and show if Republicans will stop them and make them pay in 2028. Halt the biggest harms like Iran war and tariffs. Pass a farm bill. Reverse environmental harms.

Yes. Consultants usually advise that to beat an incumbent you have to go nasty negative early. Here Republicans are acting like they are not the incumbents but the newcomer. Does that work against decent people running against them?

I saw lot of posts from people in other states asking why they saw Paxton ads during NFL far, far away from Texas. Seems wasted money.

They voted for him even though he changed tax law eliminating their ability to deduct many trucking expenses from their income for tax purposes. They just hate colored immigrants and women more than they care about fair taxes for themselves

At least with casinos you must travel to get there even if it is a local walk. Online gambling grabs at you all day everyday and they know what works.

Trump doesn't know name of MSNOW. He is the most ignorant person ever. Watching Trump and his cabinet members it is obvious they did not get rich by being smart.

No two voters can have same info with two addresses, e.g., in same county or they will check with you. If you move to new county it is a new registration not compared to your old one.

Voters need to understand your county elections office verifies your registration info. If you give them your DL # they verify with Texas DPS your name, dob, address match that # else they will mail a letter asking you to explain. Same with last 4 of SSN only is just name &. 1/

No bailouts for the data center owner/builder. NO bailouts for those who loaned money for data centers. They need to lose their money.

If there were factual inaccuracies then Trump could state examples. Trump lies and media seldom state the facts.

Media at White House has videod reactions of people next to Trump when he fills his diaper and those nearby smell it. They don't put that on network or cable news. They cover up and do not report on it. They should report ever instance and show I!

Trump needs to tell Putin to get his military out of Ukraine. This is Russia created problem and Trump has supported Putin invasion of a country that in no way threatened Russia militarily.

I am so disappointed in LeBron James, remarkable leader and creator of school and other benefits to help elevate low income into higher achievements. This gambling stuff will suck money from pockets of poor mean and leave them poorer. Will not do any good for anyone except profiteers.

How was it done in secret? How do all of us know about it? Did Jeffries or Kushner try to hide the fact of the meeting?

jdforprogressnetx.bsky.social @jdforprogressnetx.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
All my management training demonstrated and emphasized the importance of communication especially with opponents or adversaries. Secret meeting with Kushner would be corrupt, but listening to him is smart.

Abbott did block extradition. So happy to learn Minnesota authorities got him anyway. He was expected to go to Mexico after Texas released him. There is more to the story than has been made public so far.

I am not complaining but this normal bill doesn't make sense. My recent PCP visit had lab work (diagnostic pathology) for $400.50, plan allowance $68.06, insurance paid $57.87, I paid $10.19. I am lucky to have the insurance but why do the lab charges start out at over $400?

Reporting is that this is fictional. Supposedly lettering on the base was gilded but the bronze statue was not.
