The Texas government is such a shit show, I don’t know if everyday folks really know how bad it is. We have to flip the Texas House.

In a world without Republicans, healthcare is free, Wi-Fi is faster than light, and brunch never ends.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

Hillary and Bill Clinton were deposed under oath by the House of Representatives and what came of it? Pam Bondi was fired.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors. My report:

Jared Polis, Gov of Colorado, just pardoned Tina Peters (a 2020 election conspiracist who broke the law) at the demand of Trump I’m shocked and sickened

Early voting Friday in Dallas, Tx: Dems and Reps shared the same location, 10 booths each. All 10 Democratic booths were full with a line five deep. Staff said it had been steady all day. Republicans had two booths in use and no line.

Likelihood that he has a TIA in the middle of the SOTU? I'd give it 50/50.

When I sat down last week with our next Governor, Rep Gina Hinojosa, the question of who voted in the TXSD9 Runoff came up. Was it Republicans who drove the win? I walked through it (so this clip is almost all me), talking about strategic primary voters and running on values. Hint: It was Democrats

Prediction: Trump will issue $1,300 Trump tariff checks. He'll claim that there would be more, if he wasn't having to battle Congress and SCOTUS every turn.

The entire world just got a 20% discount groupon.

This is from THE CATO INSTITUTE, people. A right-wing think tank. www.cato.org/commentary/e...

MAGA started a spreadsheet of all the things they're boycotting but the color coding accidently made a rainbow so now they're boycotting Excel.

A number of Senate Democrats have reportedly had “general discussions” about whether to skip Trump’s State of the Union address on February 24th. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin said “virtually everyone is thinking about it.” For me, it’s a no-brainer. SKIP THE SOTU ADDRESS. #SOTU

These people are insane

Roses are red, Violets are blue, Evidence—not intimidation—decides what interest rates do. #FedValentine

My take on a healing in the labor market. Catch up to government shutdown helped alleviate ranks of those on temporary layoff & forced to accept part over full-time work. Read my take. kpmg.com/us/en/articl...

A political earthquake proves that Texas Republicans are bleeding ground.

This. They are turning the wealth the American people have created over generations into cash for their own dirty pockets. It’s obscene.

ICE is past saving. The rot runs too deep. Scrapping it and passing any of its functions that are actually worth doing elsewhere is the only way to purge the corruption. Transparency, responsibility, and release accountability would involve a lot of criminal charges at all levels.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey should run for Governor of Minnesota. He gets it. He speaks the truth. And he clearly does not give a shit about how his words poll in real time. Minnesota deserves leaders who lead, not ones who focus group their courage. Jacob Frey is one of them.

The Texas Republicans who tried to break democracy, and are still in power.

@thedaveabbitt.bsky.social, It's NY Eve. Time to activate TG's NYE tradition and hoping some larger accounts will spread the tradition. For my "who I most admire" and wish for a follow back, I'll shoot my shot for @muellershewrote.com

The Affordable Care Act tax credits expire in five days. House Republicans refuse to come back to Washington to vote on an extension. You deserve better.

Healthcare costs are skyrocketing and the MAGA regime is looking to spend millions of dollars on installing marble armrests for seats at the Kennedy Center. Pure evil.

If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Accurate about a Pathological Liar and Convicted Felon who Incited an Insurrection, tried to Steal a Fair Election and is Covering up Sex Crimes against Children, shouldn't his Disgraceful Presidency be terminated? I say, YES!

Solar power also continues to skyrocket in Texas, with solar generation up 25% compared to last year!

TX33, establishment power, and the limits of Democratic accountability.

Two weeks ago, I explained on @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social that you can’t have more than a 100% decline in the price of something. Yet Trump keeps talking about price declines of 500% or more. He may be mathematically illiterate but doesn’t he have a staff?

Speaker Mike Johnson says his entire worldview comes from the Bible. But he’s about to kick 2 million Texans off their healthcare right before Christmas. If you aren’t loving your neighbor, then keep Jesus’ name out of your mouth.

Of all the ways we have of getting Trump out of office right now, McDonald’s is our best bet

What are the total costs for a median income family of 4 for healthcare? Including employee AND employer costs, we're at 25% of gross income. Single payer universal healthcare would be so much better.

Mike Johnson is proof God wants us to punch people.

One of Powell's gifts is to bring calm into tumult. We will miss that next year. The Fed will be part of the tumult.

Jasmine Crockett's new video with Trump doing the voiceover. Take a listen. youtu.be/bom6iadL9mI

We also need universal healthcare yesterday with full vision, mental, hearing, and dental coverage. But as we strive to reach that, the least we can do is not use shoddy AI to determine our survival.

OKAY, now, I finished updating the list of who is on the STATE ballot in Texas (so far), with websites and social medias (that I could find, with two days left to the filing deadline.

Why the conversation about Jasmine Crockett went off the rails yesterday.

Do you ever watch West Wing or The Diplomat or even JAG and wander how in the world Trump reacts in those meetings? Is he even there?

I'm begging major accounts to not use the r-word, even if quoting or screenshotting that asshole. Redact it if necessary. All you are doing is normalizing that horrible language.

City of Dallas (city council) is considering tearing down it's classic City Hall structure, design by architect I.M. Pei in 1978 and highlighted in 1987 Robocop. All because Miriam Adelson-owned Dallas Mavericks and CRE developers want a new arena and casino. From "City of Hate" to "City of Stupid"

It's going to cost so much to rebuild America's institutions post-Trump: rebuilding the Dept of Education, USAID, healthcare, clearing out the fascists out of Border Patrol (assuming we get the opportunity to rebuild it all). Democrats need to start playing the long game.

The average premium for employer healthcare is just over $27,000, with employee paying about $7,000 and employer paying $20,000. With average $100,000 income, that's 32% total. Corporations should be screaming for a national single payer plan.
