As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

Friday, 27 people died in tornados that went unwarned or late warned. Sirens could’ve sounded sooner. But while the worst tornados of the season were raging, the weather service didn’t have a severe forecaster readily available at the nearest office. The reason? Unconstitutional DOGE layoffs.

Asking Americans to pick a single issue between economy shattering tariffs and disappearing people into government vans is so obviously dumb and limiting. They’re both bad and are very easily connected under one message: tyrannical overreach.

I have said since Trump starting laying the groundwork for the Big Lie in the first part of 2020 that he would not leave office willingly. I have been correct so far. And I'm telling you again he will not leave office willingly. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump did not rule out the possibility of seeking a third term in the White House, which is prohibited by the Constitution under the 22nd Amendment, saying in an exclusive interview with NBC News that there were methods for doing so and clarifying that he was “not joking.”

“A lot of people want me to do it,” Trump said in a Sunday-morning phone call with NBC News, referring to his allies. “But, I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration.”

The richest fat cat in the world saved the taxpayers $5k by yanking back Social Security funds from a dead person. So what’s the problem? The person wasn’t dead, wasn’t cheating, and has now been stolen from by an unelected South African elitist baron. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Ukraine did not start this war — Russia did. Assertions to the contrary are dangerous, and leave Ukraine and our European allies in grave danger. It is vital America stand for Liberty in Ukraine in the face of Vladimir Putin’s brutal, illegal war. We cannot abandon our friends in their time of need.

A team of teen computer coders are doing “something” to our Social Security. But words mean something. “Auditing” is not what they’re doing. Audits of small agencies take time. Lots of time. Audits of fed agencies take years of work from trained Auditors. DOGE has not “audited” anything.

NYT reports an air traffic controller’s seat was empty at DCA last night www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...
Staffing at the air traffic control tower at Ronald Reagan National Airport was "not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic," according to an internal preliminary Federal Aviation
Administration safety report about the collision that was reviewed by The New York Times.
The controller who was handling helicopters in the airport's vicinity
Wednesday night was also instructing planes that were landing and departing from its runways. Those jobs typically are assigned to two controllers, rather than one.

American hope and dreams survived 2.5 centuries of chaos, change, and setbacks. They can survive the next several years too, if we can keep them. Instead of dooming today, think on our American hero Harriet Tubman: “Don't ever stop. Keep going. If you want a taste of freedom, keep going.”

Some are desperately stuck in a cycle of blaming every single Democrat but not Trump for his transgressions and positions. You’re doing this out of personal fear of acknowledging his agency and of holding him accountable. Stop being afraid.
