Please enjoy this Klimt Eastwood
The image is a piece of fan art titled "Klimt Eastwood," created by Carl Tétreault in 2016. 

It depicts actor and director Clint Eastwood in a style inspired by the Austrian Symbolist painter Gustav Klimt, specifically referencing Klimt's "The Kiss".

There’s a way to do things legally. And, the GOP has the votes in Congress to do it. Refusing to abide by court orders is not the way. What’s happening right now will lead to a constitutional crisis — it already has — and could spark a military coup. Lord help us. -30-

I don’t think anyone knows what will come from destroying these institutions. Or from occupying Gaza. Especially occupying Gaza while also angering mid-Eastern countries … while also neutering our foreign intelligence apparatus (a lot of our “foreign aid” is also how we keep tabs on bad actors). 4/

This is plainly illegal. Many courts have ruled that it’s illegal. This is “move fast and break shit.” Further, I doubt they really understand what they’ve “found.” If you don’t really understand stuff, how do you really know? 3/

The GOP has captured the government. It can now make policy, and that includes dismantling some of our institutions, if that’s what the GOP under Trump wants to do. This is not that. This is letting a ketamine-fueled proto-Nazi go all Clockwork Orange on our government. 2/

When I took a polysci class in college, the prof told us that the purpose of a political party is to capture the government so it could make policy. Trump was supposed to make American great again. Are we there yet? Because I’m mostly embarrassed. 1/

Numbers don’t lie — and neither does a budget estimate. School choice? No. According to an estimate from the Texas Legislative Budget Board, 95% of students who would take ESAs/vouchers are already in private schools or being homeschooled. #TXLege #TxED
