jesbird.bsky.social @jesbird.bsky.social · 10/09/2026GOP lawmakers claim to honor veterans, then go quiet while Trump builds a tourist deck over military funerals at Arlington — without the congressional approval this project legally requires. If they cared about veterans, they'd act. They haven't. #StopTheArch 011

jesbird.bsky.social @jesbird.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Ken Paxton reported 7 homes & $0 rental income. Neighbors say most of them were rented out. He also left mortgages off 3 Utah condos and valued a TX land stake at $50K his business partner says it’s worth $1 million. Ethics experts call this a violation of federal disclosure law. 📰 ProPublica 000
jesbird.bsky.social @jesbird.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Money doesn’t buy every election. Apathy does. Too many people never check the facts — they just believe the ad. 130
jesbird.bsky.social @jesbird.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Rs are so scared of Talarico they’re making up all kinds of lies. Think about it — vote for someone his own party tried to impeach, or vote for someone who actually reads the bills, answers to voters instead of donors, and doesn’t need a scandal explained away. 020
jesbird.bsky.social @jesbird.bsky.social · 01/09/2026We have to spread the word Rs are scared and  they’re getting really ugly. Republican outside groups are now committing about $22 million in television advertising to help Paxton, according to the Houston Chronicle. 000

jesbird.bsky.social @jesbird.bsky.social · 29/08/2026They’re selling off our heritage. Historic cherry trees bulldozed at East Potomac for his golf course, sequoia country in Yosemite handed to developers and chainsaws — and not a Republican in Congress in sight. 000
jesbird.bsky.social @jesbird.bsky.social · 25/08/2026I thought  The 6–3 majority said was: the group of states brought this challenge too early. When the lower court blocked Trump’s executive order, USPS had not yet finished creating the actual rule that would carry it out, so states had not yet shown kind of concrete injury needed for that lawsuit. 000
jesbird.bsky.social @jesbird.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Yes Trump calls Democrats “communists.” His own admin took a ~10% stake in Intel plus ownership positions in mining/critical-mineral firms. That’s not communism — but direct government ownership of private industry is closer to state-controlled economics than most things he calls “communist.” 010

jesbird.bsky.social @jesbird.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Words have meanings. Trump calls anyone he disagrees with a ‘communist.’ Communism = government owns everything, no private property, no elections. Wanting healthcare or public schools isn’t that — it’s a mixed economy, and we’ve had one for decades. Look up the word before you use it. 011

jesbird.bsky.social @jesbird.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick called Senate candidate James Talarico a “lightweight” and “90-pound weakling” on Fox News this week. Junior-high insults, not policy. How desperate do you have to be? Vote blue. Support Talarico. 000
jesbird.bsky.social @jesbird.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Watch the goalposts move. First Dems were “socialists.” Now Trump says “communist” 15x in one speech -White House: “you can be a communist or a patriot.” Neither is true. Dem socialists believe in democracy, reject central planning. Real communism - authoritarian rule, abuses. It’s fear not fact. 000
jesbird.bsky.social @jesbird.bsky.social · 29/06/202630+ years of Republican control in Texas. The result? 42nd in education. 41st in school finance. Now they want vouchers to drain what’s left from public schools. This is the Republican record. 000

jesbird.bsky.social @jesbird.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Governor Abbott is making every TX taxpayer foot the bill for private school tuition — schools most of us cant afford. That’s not school choice.

jesbird.bsky.social @jesbird.bsky.social · 28/04/2026Buybacks of wind energy contracts = paying to stay hooked on fossil fuels. Less clean power. Higher bills. And we hand our grandchildren a dirtier, more dangerous world. 000
jesbird.bsky.social @jesbird.bsky.social · 24/04/2026We’re adding roughly $2T a year to the debt, and interest alone is nearing $1T. Tax cuts without revenue to cover them are a major driver—so we borrow more, pay more interest, and leave the bill to our grandchildren 000

jesbird.bsky.social @jesbird.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Trump is following the same pattern he always has—reckless spending & long-term damage.

jesbird.bsky.social @jesbird.bsky.social · 21/03/2026I think a lot of people support the SAVE Act because they don’t realize what it actually requires. We already show photo ID. This goes much further—requiring a birth certificate or passport, and for married women, a marriage license too. That’s a real burden most people haven’t thought about. 041
jesbird.bsky.social @jesbird.bsky.social · 19/03/2026You need a photo ID, but you don’t need a birth certificate and a marriage license or a passport. Those are what SAVE is going to require from every married woman who took her husband‘s name. 1013921
jesbird.bsky.social @jesbird.bsky.social · 18/03/2026Think the SAVE Act stops non-citizens from voting? It doesn’t — that’s already illegal and enforced. What it does do is create barriers that affect millions of legal, eligible American voters. Here’s what you need to know 000
jesbird.bsky.social @jesbird.bsky.social · 10/02/2026Throughout this meeting, responses have depended on who is asking the question. Democrats are told information isn’t available or that ongoing issues can’t be discussed. Republicans receive detailed, prepared answers. That imbalance undermines confidence in an impartial process. 042
jesbird.bsky.social @jesbird.bsky.social · 03/02/2026Trump suggested today — that the federal government should “take over” or “nationalize” elections in places he doesn’t like My one happy thought for the day is that he does not have the power to do that!

jesbird.bsky.social @jesbird.bsky.social · 01/02/2026As you see prices rise — electric bills, groceries, insurance, to name a few — remember who ultimately pays. We have higher costs, Trump cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, leaving everyday Americans to pay — even as billions are spent on ICE and deportation operations. 063
jesbird.bsky.social @jesbird.bsky.social · 25/01/2026What happened today in Minnesota should stop Congress in its tracks. Any senator who votes on a budget that gives ICE more money—whether directly or through DHS—after this is choosing Trump over the American people 030
