Fingers crossed that this opens the doors for James Talrico. Ken Paxton defeats John Cornyn for Texas GOP Senate nomination - The Texas Tribune apple.news/AyeyaUVrbTXW...

And there you have it!

Absolutely nothing is stopping John Cornyn, Tillis, Murkowski, & Paul from caucusing immediately with Democrats & giving them control of the Senate. The same is true of Thomas Massie & any 2 retiring GOP Reps in the House. It is a choice to continue caucusing with the authoritarian personality cult.

Talarico: Ken Paxton embodies everything that’s wrong with our political system. He was impeached by his own party for using his public office to enrich himself and his donors at our expense. And that kind of corruption is the rot at the core of this broken system.

South Carolina Republicans: “Quick, let’s eliminate the one Black district before anyone catches on.” Black South Carolina voters: “Hold my beer.”

I rarely post political shit, but I'm breaking my rule cuz this made me giggle (and it's to be hoped for! - take the trash out!)

Trump’s CFTC has pushed out senior career officials who raised concerns about crypto and prediction markets. It’s barely lifted a finger to regulate these rapidly expanding platforms. Trump’s family just so happens to have financial ties to both industries. Coincidence — or corruption?

BREAKING: 'live' shot of President Trump leaving Walter Reed hospital after a routine physical, and posting on Truth Social that "everything had checked out PERFECTLY!" #DonaldTrump

Allow me to give you his actual physical results: “He has the physical tenacity of a used Hefty sack…filled with over warmed sh*t…all the way to the draw string.”

RFK, Jr. refuses to get a vaccine but has no problem letting a snake bite him numerous times.

Donald Trump needs a midterms deal more than a nuclear deal and whatever happens in the next few days should be understood in that context. It’s why he is about to give Iran a ton of money to save face as Trump’s approval ratings are as low as ever and our farmers are begging for fertilizer.

Well, when you surrender twice a week for 12 weeks, it can get burdensome to keep coming up with something original.

Trump’s $1.7 billion slush fund faces full-court press in the courts Three federal civil lawsuits threaten the Trump treasure chest for convicted criminals youtu.be/uhsmG2zTypY?...

Today we announced the most ambitious housing plan in our City's modern history. We're building 200,000 affordable homes. We’re overhauling code enforcement. We’re cracking down on bad landlords. We’re creating tens of thousands of good-paying jobs.

There are no property ownership requirements to vote in this country. Yet, the Election Integrity Network does not want homeless people to be able to vote, Marc Elias said. “They are U.S. citizens, and they are as entitled to vote as anyone else,” Marc said.

Sir, those tests results are in.

Every defendant in a case brought by this DOJ should demand a judge review the grand jury transcripts for misconduct.

“I aced my quarterly, semi-annual, monthly physical. The doctors said, ‘Sir, we’ve never seen such a healthy leper before.’ Then I took my cognitive test, which consisted of calculating the square roots of very complicated numbers.” — Senile Satan

Black members of Congress are warning that gutting the Voting Rights Act could cost nearly 20 Black lawmakers their seats over time. Which means this fight was always bigger than one election.

Delusional as usual from the White House. Americans are spending more because everything costs more, thanks to the President.

Rep. Cohen just dropped 6 articles Of Impeachment on John Roberts for turning SCOTUS into a partisan weapon, putting Trump above the law, and letting his wife rake in millions from firms with cases before the Court. #USDemocracy #Pinks open.substack.com/pub/dworkin/...

They overturned Roe vs. Wade. They brought back Jim Crow. They got a comedian thrown off the air for mocking the president too well. Death by gun still the leading cause of death for children. Now they’re turning your water brown to feed AI. What’s it gonna take?

We have a president who took the nation into a war for reasons he cannot fully articulate, without a strategy for how to respond if Iran did the expected and closed the Strait of Hormuz, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender. Reminder that Congress can step up and stop this.

A federal district court Tuesday blocked Alabama from using its 2023 congressional map in this year’s midterm elections, after plaintiffs in a long-running legal challenge asked the court for an emergency order halting the last-minute gerrymander. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Fox reporter to protester: You have a dirty mouth Protester: You are a Nazi bitch

Trump is now daydreaming about fictional victories over Iran and getting pre-mad that the media isn't covering them fawningly enough. Bonkers coo coo stuff.

Trump has resorted to writing fan fiction about his failed war again

South Carolina Republicans just rejected Trump’s push to redraw districts and target Jim Clyburn. When members of your own party won’t touch the scheme… that tells you everything.

Iran shot down a U.S. drone, fired on an F-35, and says the U.S. has violated the ceasefire — all while Trump was at Walter Reed for his third hospital visit this year posting QAnon memes. Your midday update is here:

Trump posted the exact same (crazy) thing on Truth Social 8 days apart. The cognitive isn't cognitiving.

Love Zohran Mamdani ... by any and all means, he should continue villainizing billionaires.

Nice Word Usage Tillis,This "bogus payout pot for punks".......

I want to state this clearly and calmly: I have received threats involving the possible creation or circulation of fabricated/deepfake content using my likeness after refusing to stop reporting on aspects of the Epstein story. Everything has been documented and preserved.

How many times a year should an annual physical take place? Asking for the American people

"I expect soon that Trump will come up with a fund to compensate those men in the Epstein files for the embarrassment they had to go through" - LP Senior Advisor Stuart Stevens

Ossoff: "We see a faithless president self-dealing while he depicts as Christ, while he depicts the Obamas as apes, while he plunges the nation into reckless war, sends prices soaring, and plunders our healthcare to cut taxes for those who already have spectacular wealth."

CNN put together a montage of Trump officials, including Trump himself, saying over and over again for nearly three months now that gas prices are about to drop, any day now

In a big win for Democrats, a federal court blocked an Alabama map that would have eliminated a Black-majority congressional seat

On our way to court!!! But not as a defendant!!! Very cool!!!!!

Ossoff: "What those who build ballrooms and monuments for themselves, what they hate the most is when people hold them accountable at the polls. So why Fulton County? I submit to you it is bc the fact Black voters were instrumental to his defeat might be more offensive to him than the defeat itself"

They gerrymandered his district to silence him before retirement. It didn't work. Rep. Steve Cohen just made history by introducing 6 articles of impeachment against Chief Justice John Roberts. Read his final act of defiance: 👇 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/first-ever...

When he’s right, he’s right.

Then they file lawsuits in courts of law and see if they can get a jury to agree with them that they have a case. That is how our system is supposed to work - not have the president’s lawyer play Evil Santa handing out our money to his supporters who committed crimes. bsky.app/profile/atru...
