BINGO! James Talarico: "I have a legislative record, Ken Paxton has a criminal record. He doesn't serve us, he serves himself. Since taking office, he has become a multimillionaire on a government salary. His net worth has increased 7000% while the pay of Texans is the same."

I was sitting in a lawn chair on my porch watching for birds with a 600 mm lens on my Nikon. I saw this yellow garden spider (Argiope aurantia) on its web by the ceiling about 5-6 feet away. 100% in situ and unaltered. #spiders #arachnids #photography #wildlife #animals #YellowGardenSpider

I guess this is what he meant by going to war.

I strongly agree. I commented on that article on the NYT and said the same thing. Deceptive story that used "Democrats Wage War..." as the clickbait headline, then went on the provide zero evidence of that.

Everything the GOP does is exactly the same thing. Just 2 days ago, 2 GOP senators were paid off to support Blanche's nomination.

As with everything in 2026, the GOPs senators' votes are all about money and greed. The most likely reason that Cornyn and Tillis seem to have suddenly lost their last scintilla of integrity is that one of trump's crypto billionaires paid them off.

I’ll bet you a hot cup of coffee that Todd Blanche’s assurance that the slush fund is off the table will turn out to be utter bullshit. We will see it in some other form and convicted felons will be paid. Watch.

Two senators on their way out the door. Nothing left to lose. Total leverage. And they traded it for a memo. A piece of paper. Cornyn and Tillis folded like lawn chairs, and everybody knew they would. Again.

To say "my $35000 Ioniq is just as good," completely ignores that Ioniq buyers and R2 buyers have completely different priorities. R2 is far superior if camping, off-road driving, towing, and cargo space are important. Ioniq 5 is a roomy road car. It's not going handle a jeep trail.

Miguel Durran @whippingpost.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

They are completely different types of vehicles. The Ioniq is a mid-size hatch back, and the R2 is an SUV. If you want to go camping, carry cargo, go off-road, tow things, then you go with a R2. If you want to drive on the highway, Ioniq is a great choice! But there's no logical comparison.

When he says "...get this bill passed..." I think he was referring to confirming Blanche - as if they are the same thing. Which they are. Meanwhile Blanche repeats, "moot, moot, moot," 4000 times.

Miguel Durran @whippingpost.bsky.social · 26/10/2025

The difference is that Trump and other fascists were doing their fascist thing by lying that the election was rigged, while Jeffries is telling the TRUTH that Trump and fellow fascists ARE RIGGING THE ELECTION. Disgusting how nearly all news organizations have adopted fascist talking points.

The Space X flight was to have launched in September, on some sort of data gathering mission. Then the crew of the ISS got stranded and NASA repurposed the SpaceX flight. This all happened in August and September. /2

Miguel Durran @whippingpost.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

I said that the fault Is with Boeing. SpaceX was a month behind schedule - but shit happens - the delay is just part of the story. Boeing stranded those astronauts. But the plan to bring them home was developed four months before trump became the so-called president. /1

Miguel Durran @whippingpost.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

The main fault is Boeing's who couldn't get them home in the first 1st place. In August 2024 NASA came up with a game plan to contract/pay SpaceX to help get them home by Feb. SpaceX was 1 mo. behind schedule, so the astronauts had to stay an extra month waiting for SpaceX to get its shit together.

Miguel Durran @whippingpost.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

I've heard quite a few posters who are still mainly on twitter, say they're staying because, "we still have to fight the good fight..." or something like that. I think that's one of the big problems for progressives - they think posting on social media is actually doing something.

010

Miguel Durran @whippingpost.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

True. The plan to bring them home was hatched in August 2024. A hydraulic issue with the SpaceX rocket actually caused a one month delay in their return, which had been scheduled for February.

I've heard a number of people argue that your article is a defense of Bezos's "personal liberties and free markets" statement. Someone stated that now "everyone owes Bezos an apology." Is that true? Were you defending Bezos? I read it as a subtle criticism. Which is it?

Starmer and Macron embarrassed themselves and their countries last week by coming to the white house and bending the knee to the new American fascist dictator. Hopefully they'll grow a pair after team trump's shameful ambush of the hero of the free world, Zelensky.

because that legislation won't even make out of committee. It definitely not make it to the floor. It would just be for show - a pretense of actually doing something while knowing it's doomed to fail. Brownshirts don't suddenly turn on their nazi-in-chief.
