A Tower Grows In Brooklyn @theforestpark.bsky.social · 8hIf you consider the total Dem vs. GOP turnout in the Texas senate primary as a special election then the state as a whole was a D+17 overperformance but Starr county specifically (small, rural, overwhelmingly Latino) had a (not a typo) D+109 overperformance. 100

A Tower Grows In Brooklyn @theforestpark.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The final sign-off that she “blocked” was a ministerial act: something that a bureaucrat MUST sign off on if the necessary i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed. To make such an act subject to executive discretion could give them authority to, say, unilaterally social security checks. 180
A Tower Grows In Brooklyn @theforestpark.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Also, most folks don’t realize just how horrifying her congestion pricing block was: she had no authority to do so. She was field testing a DOGE-type theory of constitutional governance, that, if scaled, could allow an executive to destroy the public sector at will. 1130
