Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America.  He embodies the broken system we’re running against. It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

You guys are doing great. Totally keeping Trump’s persistent health concerns out of the media! Keep it up. Nobody is on to you.

BREAKING: Court Rejects Alabama House Map, Calling It Unfair to Black Voters Our teams have been working nonstop around the clock since the Callais decision to defend the maps in Alabama. This is a critical victory & affirmation that Black voters deserve fair maps. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/26/u...

The idiots accept the blatant lie anyway.

A beautiful moment of trust that feels almost rebellious against the reality of their decline. 🦅 It’s a haunting contrast—seeing such grace preserved while their world is being dismantled. 🌍💔

And the most pathetic and disgusting part is that they would.

Actor Robert De Niro on Donald Trump: “It’s all an act. He’s deeply insecure. He’s a malignant narcissist. He’s a socio-psychopath. He’s dangerous. Shame on Republicans that don’t have the balls to go after him. He’s an outright fucking criminal.”

The UFC fight on the White House lawn is a disgrace. History will remember this being an extreme low for our nation, among many other lows we keep bumping up against

A kind person freed the kingfisher that had its beak caught and couldn't move...

zohran mamdani announced a plan to seize properties from bad landlords and private equity if tenents suffer from neglect and i genuinely do not think i’ve seen rightwing circles this mad in reaction to anything i’ve ever seen before lol

This shit makes me apoplectic. What fucking bastards.

11/ But on the other end of the line, an aide asked, “What is it you expect the governor’s office to do?” The sisters tried to explain the dire situation. They had language prepared about the abortion ban’s exception for emergencies. None of it worked.

10/ “Let’s call up Sarah,” Rowe said, referring to Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Waldorf was just one degree of separation away. She and Gov. Sanders had gone to the same college, joined the same sorority, had mutual friends.

9/ Her family was outraged by all the obstacles in her way. “If I took my dog to a vet and it had this problem, that dog would get better treatment,” her stepfather said. Her sister Rowe wracked her brain for ways to help. Then it struck her.

8/ On day five, she texted a friend from college that her temperature had risen to 99.3 degrees. “Can they help you now?” her friend asked. “I think it has to be like 100.4,” Waldorf wrote.

7/ On day four, Waldorf’s water broke. All morning, she watched the amniotic fluid drain out of her. Now there was virtually no chance the fetus's lungs would develop to reach the edge of viability in seven weeks. There was only the risk of infection, growing every passing hour.

6/ On the third night, she came across ProPublica’s reporting about Amber Thurman, a 28-year-old medical assistant who died of infection in Georgia after doctors delayed emptying her uterus. “Oh my god, it isn’t just me,” she thought. “But she died.”

5/ For five straight days, she laid in a hospital bed, waiting for her situation to get dire enough that doctors — and the hospital's lawyers — would act.

4/ Waldorf came into this fight with more resources than most: Her father was a doctor. She worked at the hospital. She was highly educated and well-connected. Yet even meeting the hospital’s CEO, calling the governor and hiring a lawyer would not be enough.

3/ Texas, another abortion ban state, has amended its law to make clear that doctors don’t need to wait for infection in similar cases. Arkansas and other states have not.

2/ The standard of care would be to empty her womb. But the baby still had a detectable heartbeat, and stopping it would run afoul of Arkansas’ abortion ban. They needed to wait until she went into labor or showed signs of dangerous infection, or until the fetal heartbeat ended.

1/ At 17 weeks pregnant, Emily Waldorf was suddenly faced with a life-threatening situation: Her baby’s foot was dipping out of her cervix. Doctors told her the longer her cervix stayed open, the higher her risk of infection. They knew how to treat her. There was one issue … 🧵

I've long wondered about that.

Today is not Mark Hamill's birthday, but it is Frank Oz's.

Cornyn is no moderate. He's right-wing and was willing to do pretty much anything Trump commanded. But Paxton is a kindred spirit with Trump, a fellow liar and cheater and scammer who connects with the president like a soulmate. Maybe a cellmate.

Donald Trump told Texas Republicans to turn back a four-term incumbent senator and to vote for a man who is basically a walking Thomas Nast illustration of corruption and the cult members said, yes sir, right away, sir.

"I’ve been eating barbecue since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment." Good one.

Sir, those tests results are in.

Can you give me directions to Walter Reed?

I NEVER want to hear ANYONE ever complaining about the deficit and spending when the President, his family and his cabal of corruption ARE DRAINING OUR TREASURY TO LINE THEIR OWN POCKETS TO THE TUNE OF BILLIONS OF AMERICAN TAXPAYER DOLLARS AND NOBODY IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT

I told him to smile 😅

As someone who has lived in East Tennessee most of my life, this state is loaded with bigots, homophobes, and Christians looking to control your life.

Replacing Stephen Colbert's show with Byron Allen's is akin to replacing a 1932 Rolls Royce Phantom II with a 1972 Ford Pinto. CBS has no taste, no class, and doesn't care if it blows tf up. And Byron Allen is a douchebag who still thinks he's got something he hasn't ever had: talent.

The Ellisons are totalitarians. Domination is the point. The destruction of CBS news + silencing Colbert advance their agenda in ways that can't be bought with mere dollars. They want us to be uninformed, isolated, and fearful. Keep yourself informed, cultivate friendships, do not be afraid.

What did CBS stand to gain from issuing copyright infringement notices against YouTube accounts that shared Colbert's public access appearance? Whatever their motivation, it backfired in spectacular fashion over the weekend...
