Oh boy. Alito is threatening to retire. That should be a major reason to make sure a democrat- majority Senate stops any more Federalist judges from joining SCOTUS for life. Lots of reasons to Vote Democrat. Just added another priority.

Wife and I went down to election office to ensure we were still registered in San Antonio. 1.2 million Texans have been placed on "vote suspended" list, many without even knowing. Texas leadership also recently closed 91 polling places in Tarrant County. Have a plan and don't get suprised Texans!

Susan Collins: have you noticed the number of ICE shootings where there were no body cams? Concerned? Also, latest in Austin was by a rookie who obviously had no training. WTF?

2026 elections. It’s about electing people who will govern and provide guardrails. Something the current Congress is demonstrably lacking.

Governor Abbott wouldn't extradite an ICE agent who had a valid warrant. You think he'll do anything about this? The only way for things to change is at the ballot box. And it just so happens that is an option for Texas.

I see that some PAC money came into Paxton’s senate campaign just in time to help him create some new, bogus ads about all the affordability issues he’s going to fix. Also, he was sued for a woman’s death due to inability to get reproductive health care. He and Abbott have led on suppression.

One key thing House Dem candidates should promise is GOVERNING. I can’t believe how few days Johnson’s House has been in session over the last Congress. Also, GUARDRAILS.

I’ve been thinking about how the Trump cabinet, as a rule, has seemed to have major thought pattern alterations since joining the Trump regime. I’m thinking it can be explained by a Severance-like brain alteration. Season 3 out in 2027. Of course, that might also explain the entire cult. Just musing

If you want a check against Trump and his GOP suck ups, we must fire the suck ups and vote in Dem gatekeepers. We clearly see that the Republicans are not up to the task. Evidence includes confirmation of yet another cabinet member who is helping to ruin this country. That’s just today’s example.

We need to stop talking about a "blue wave" coming to save us We did that last time, and people felt secure that the votes were there, so the casual, rarely shows up voter stayed home - let others vote And we lost Paint it like it is We are in a fight to the death Show up, or get crushed Again

Just a thought on this dark day of official transfer of the bodies of our lost troops: someone would need t Hold me back if Trump showed up at this service after minimizing my loved one’s death with that asinine chart of troops killed in the last 60 years of US wars. This is HIS war.

Why can’t US states that border Canada volunteer to help with wild fires? Maybe they are but I’d love to hear about THAT instead of crazy Trump’s threat of tariffs. We can be Americans without this so-called leader giving the rest of us a bad name.

Lastly, Ted Cruz finishes the spin. No one wants to talk about the fact that Trump committed major crimes and was indicted for those. It’s always “But Biden weaponized DOJ”. Trump did the crimes. Don’t forget that.

So, when ICE agents killed Renee Good, Minnesota officials demanded and are still fighting for accountability. Same for Illinois and California. In Texas, we get crickets. Texas peeps, we have to have changes in this state. We can do it. Vote Dem up and down the ballot.

Why can’t Republicans clap back at Trump and threaten impeachment conviction unless he backs off of Pulte or any other unqualified candidate for DNI? Where are the Senate patriots who care more about US democracy than bowing to the Trump autocracy? Any Nixon-era GPO folks who can inspire?

Texas runoff elections tomorrow. Things I’d like to see: 1. Cornyn wins against Paxton as a big F U to Trump and the cult who are celebrating his endorsement of a fellow creep and criminal, and 2. Talarico kills either of them in November because the cult is in the minority and it is TIME, Texans

Here’s a conspiracy theory for you. What if China helped Trump get elected so that they could take advantage of his narcissist personality and win out as the dominant power in the world? Even if they didn’t do that, they have to be loving life right now. And have def take. Advantage of the orange
