Early voting is already underway in some states. From now until Nov 3, I urge you all to... 1) Help get out the vote 2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference 3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism We are the only ones who can end this nightmare.

I've reported first-hand on steel mills in Korea, China, Japan, Illinois, and Mississippi. This is 100% not going to happen. Disagree? Bet me. (Though I'm against online betting. It's just not going to happen.)

Adam Dean Hoffman sexually abused an 8-year-old boy dozens of times. But because he was a good Southern Baptist and loyal Republican, Paxton offered him a 60-days-in-jail plea-bargain. Paxton thinks this was a tough sentence.

Wow. I wrote about this at length in my book on logistics, I never thought any politician would do anything about it. For decades companies of every kind have used subcontracting to dodge responsibility for their workers.

Medicaid covers 40% of births & 60% of nursing home residents. Cutting Medicaid will increase infant deaths. Senior deaths & homelessness will increase too. The GOP is counting on you not paying attention. You sure will be when grandma is sleeping on a bench somewhere, or your baby dies. #Pinks
