If Democrats win, johnson will not be speaker at the point where they are swearing in the new Congress. They are sworn in by the speaker elect, who is chosen by the member elects

Put it this way: when I was an unplugged, blissfully oblivious UT undergrad not even yet on Twitter, I knew all the details of his affair, including what time they had their lunchtime meetings (🤮) within a year of moving to Austin. He is legendarily toxic and evil.

Y’all my Highland Park born and bred, lifelong R voting FIL just sent us a newsletter written by a wealthy Dallas investor encouraging everyone who reads it to vote Dem in TX because these Rs are insane and incompetent. My FIL wrote someone in the last 3 elections. It *might* Be Happening.

I desperately want Talarico to win, but part of me is worried that if Paxton isn’t otherwise engaged, Trump will make him AG. Would be the most monkey paw situation for finally electing a Dem in Texas I can possibly think of 🤷🏻‍♀️

Seconded. I’ve had 5-6 of these and each time I laid on the table with tears running into my hair with my hands over my mouth, trying not to scream. I did scream at the first one. It was so much pain I started to panic before being assured it was normal. 🤬

Risking the world economy and making us even more of a pariah state in a last ditch, self defeating effort to try to blunt the pain at the ballot box and it probably won’t even work. For gas prices or midterm results.

I talked to my normielib, softly spoken, would-never-yell-at-anyone MIL recently, and when we asked how she was, in her gently lilting, quiet voice told us she was “just really ready for Republicans to suffer.”

This is true, but an underfunded campaign is a catastrophe. A hugely overfunded campaign gives you decreasing marginal utility. The extra dollars just don’t make THAT much of a difference.

One of my favorite types of Schadenfreude is when Trump takes a super unpopular position and then forces the rest of the Rs to defend it and go along with it 😂

Tweet from @theheadquarters.bsky.con that says "Trump: I have to say this about Ken Paxton. It's so insulting, they say, 'Sir, you can't say that.' I said, 'I have to.' But you may not like the way he dresses. I don't. You may not like the way he talks, and I can see that. You may not like the way he looks, and he may not be the best lookin' guy"

We need at some point to talk about American Evangelicalism as a heretical movement. We should not indulge the delusion of a bunch or nuts who cherry-pick the Bible to rationalize otherwise indefensible 21st century bigotries that they are representatives of a global faith.

This is seismic news for fisheries scientists. Northern cod is *the* iconic symbol of total fisheries collapse due to overfishing (and other factors) *and* the iconic symbol of a complete failure to recover for decades afterwards. This is like announcing the complete recovery of bison on land.

As expected, the suspension of voters in Texas was very carefully crafted to target Democratic voters in major Democratic centers. This is how the Texas GOP controls the state: by insuring that it has the lowest levels of voter participation in the entire developed world.

Texas Has Suspended More Than 1 Million Voters Ahead of Senate Race

If you’re one of the people who had their voter registration suspended, there’s still time to fix it.

randomly giving out genuine compliments is such an easy way to make the world a little nicer, i'm always surprised more people haven't figured that out and have a ton of respect for those who have

Screenshot of tweet by Eminem. Text of Eminem's post reads:

I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.

Attached is an image of a classy and generous letter Dolly Parton sent to Eminem after missing a chance to meet him at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Oooh this is genuinely surprising to me. I could still see a fair number of ticket splitters going for Abbott to keep state government more red though. Also Paxton is so infamously icky, I do kind of worry about the shy Paxton voter.

I continue to be absolutely amazed that the conspiracy theory Jake Tapper & Alex Thompson alleged was happening under Biden—an enfeebled elderly president is being secretly managed by his aides who are hiding his declining health—is actually happening under Trump & theyve mostly just shrugged.

Also winning in Texas is not winning in the national environment. “He’ll lose more voters by pandering to conservatives.” Probably not in Texas.

One factor: childcare has gotten so expensive that women are increasingly staying home with preschool-age children instead of sending them to preschool. There is legitimately a crisis in early education right now because of consequent under-enrollment.
