This reminds me of how my grandmother used to brag about how a member of our family had signed some Texas history document that was (IIRC) displayed in the Capitol at the time while always being cagey about which particular document it was (turns out it was the Articles of Secession).

Animals can sense a good heart and sincere intentions TT: the.littlecabinthatcould

This would be like asking how a person could donate to the SPCA even though they aren't a dog.

My family and I purchased three cars in 2025, two of which are manufactured and sold by US-based companies. None of the three qualified for the interest rate deduction.

The agency released long-delayed data that confirmed a steep drop in prosecutions of misconduct like insider trading and fraud.

Two recent studies have re-examined risk of birds colliding with rotor blades of wind turbines. Research found that there was not a single collision. "The results from Aberdeen Bay show that modern offshore wind farms can be operated with low risk to wildlife." www.euronews.com/2026/04/11/t...

Apparently my County DA's office slow-walked and then basically 'threw' an abuse case of a special needs high school student by a worker at the school that was caught on camera (he didn't show the video to grand jury, though) for reasons unknown.

That's crazy because 4% is 'easy' according to Trump.

This all was so worth it now that eggs are cheaper, which would’ve happened anyway when the number of hens recovered from the avian flu outbreak.

Plano, Texas really dropped the ball by naming the street Spring Creek rather than Parkest.

Dude needs to stay alive for another 1022 or so days.

My oldest son's birth certificate doesn't have me listed on it because he was born before his mother and I were married. We never bothered to get it updated.

That woman from that Superman show should've gone for a viewpoint discrimination defense. Abuse isn't abuse if it's subject of 'fierce public debate' (at least in Colorado).

One, unarmed security guard for that whole complex?

A chance to really bring the country together!

The only violence in Dallas during this weekend's protests was a Trump Supporter shoving and punching protesters. The accused appears to be wearing a law enforcement badge of some sort, though very possibly fake. His name is Chad Rodgers. www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/2...

I saw there was a new show called ‘Sunny Nights’ and I was hoping it was a spinoff of It’s Always Sunny but with the gang as private detectives who solve paranormal cases with Angie Harmon and Lou Rawls, but it’s just a show with MacGruber selling spray tans in Australia.

look at this baby beaver and feel better briefly (@ wildheartrescue on TT)

Amarillo, Texas had more fatal shootings (6 including one gunman killed by police) on Saturday night/early Sunday than Chicago did (4).’

I would like to see Hamish Linklater In more things.

Still keeping these street names in Dallas, though: Reagan Street, Lee Parkway, Lemmon Avenue, Cabell Drive, Junius Street, Gaston Avenue, Peak Street, Young Street, Good Latimer Expressway, Gano Street, Ervay Street, Stonewall Street.

I guess if the children of those who have committed crimes in the United States can't be citizens, then we can finally get rid of the Trump Bros.

As much as I approve of rethinking the people we honor when new information comes to light about what kind of people they are, I will note that the Governor has not called for state to stop celebrating Confederate Heroes Day.

Jesus when he comes back to Earth:

So you’re commissioned to make a statue to represent all Texas Rangers (the cops not the baseball team). Who do you choose to be your model to represent the entire history of that storied law enforcement organization?

Today I learned that there is a competitive activity among agriculture students called "Meat Judging" where students compete to judge meat cuts for consistency, quality, yield, etc. Not only that, but my alma mater Texas Tech has a meat judging team. Doesn't get quite as much press as football.

I'm all for protecting kids in schools, but I don't think there's been an a legitimate bomb in a school in the US since Andrew Kehoe.

My daughter sent me a picture of how much she had to pay to fill up her silly little Kia Soul out in Arizona where she's currently living. $4.69/gal, apparently.

Another thing about the SAVE Act is the requirement that people present their citizenship documents in person when registering. You cannot do it by mail (and no provisions on how to do it online). It's over 20 miles to the election office from my house. My town has no public transportation.

I sont know what this guy was up to since he easily could have caused a large amount of damage or chaos had he opened fire, but i imagine that all the ‘gun free’ zone opponents arent going to be consistent and call for this guy’s release. dallasexpress.com/state/tactic...

If I had to make up a fake name really quickly, this is the kind of name I’d probably come up with, especially since my brothers are named Clay and Clarke. Or I’d use “Enema Bag Jones.”

An #ultratax glitch today ended up trying to assign a $2 billion tax liability to a single mother with significantly less than $2 billion in income. The failure to pay penalty alone was over $85 million. It went back to normal on its own, so I won't have to tell that client that she owes that much

That seemed to be the same during the rise of Rush Limbaugh and right-wing AM Talk Radio. Everything was so simple but politicians were just too dumb or corrupt to do the simple thing. And then we do the simple thing and it doesn’t work, but they never seem to stop that line of thinking.

I sure don't know how former Judge Amber Givens beat incumbent DA John Creuzot to become the next Dallas County District Attorney. At least when Craig Watkins lost, you could see it coming.

In my opinion a Spanish version of that comic with the birds who are also newspaper reporters would definitely come before anything else.

That’s cray. Never really thought about how my parents were teenagers when Alaska and Hawaii became states.

He’ll even just changing jobs can lead to chaos. I’ve had to go a month without medication waiting for my new insurance company to get around to ‘preapproving’ my meds after a job change and being forced into a Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Texas plan.

Really tired of these "small government" conservatives being all up in my and my family's business in so many areas. Hard to believe it's this group of yahoos who are going to make us have to move out of the state that's been my family's home for 200 years. Fucking Ken Paxton isn't even a Texan.

30 days in county for sexual assault on AN INFANT and for keeping CSAM taken from his job as a school resource officer and reviewing them in his home. Republican judge says 30 days are ‘consequences’ for what he did. Seems like every GOPer is either a pedo or is willing to go super easy on pedos.

So voters didn't like the inflation rate being 2.9% annually in 2024 so they voted for Trump who, in his first year, raised the inflation rate to 3.6%.

For the last two years, I was self-employed. So I had an ACA health care plan, which worked very nicely for me since I got to pick what I was willing to pay for in a plan (copays over low deductible, etc). Late last year, I took a job working for a company that offers insurance to its employees.

I guess the lesson the GOP learned from losing that special election in FTW the other day is that people must not have thought they were right-wing enough or that the people really like whiny murderers.

The Ghost of Richard Nixon is just puttering around Yorba Linda lamenting how he never had Congressional lapdogs as willing to sanction his misbehavior like the current jackass does.

How does a person run a business for years without at least picking up a rudimentary knowledge of how accounting works? At least to the point of understanding what an expense is and what revenue is.

Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Texas I can't have my medication because it works.

This whole thing in unhinged, but his implication that slaves themselves were not given citizenship by the 14th Amendment is goofy pants. And the continued implication was that anyone who wasn't the child of a slave but born in the US was not a citizen on birth, making a shit-ton of us undocumented.

This is why you don't want to have things named after you.
