BREAKING: Our campaign raised $3 million in 24 hours after Ken Paxton became the GOP nominee.

This is such an insanely ridiculous threat that it is either another one of thousands of threat/bluffs coming out of the Trump admin or something they will attempt to implement and then immediately reverse because they are too stupid to foresee the catastrophic implications. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Because of course

Since Mark Carney allowed Chinese cars to be sold in Canada, Elon has cut the price of the Tesla 3 there to $29,000 USD. This competition is the exact reason Elon is blocking Chinese EVs from being sold in the US. It's also the reason we shouldn't allow billionaires to buy the US government.

James Talarico responded to the latest faux scandal: "I’m an eighth-generation Texan. I’ve been eating barbecue since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment. And if all they have on me is lying about me being a vegan, I feel pretty good about our chances this November."

An AP investigation today details that ICE detainees are dying by suicide at an 'alarming' rate. When does this antihumanitarian nightmare end? This is utterly unacceptable in a sane & civil democracy. When are the courts going to end this madness. At least pause it and investigate this horror show.

And the Democrats pay for way too much. Now with Trump we need to stop paying for all red states! Period ‼️‼️💙💙

For the love of God, elected Democrats: stop taking advice from Republicans about the “way forward.” Your base will not tolerate it. Both sides are not equally to blame for what this country is experiencing right now. That framing is detached from reality. 🧵

@xavierbecerra.bsky.social: "Somebody pulls out a knife and says 'We're going to give you a tax credit if you come do your production in Sydney,' then we pull out a knife too. If somebody in Toronto says we've got to make it attractive for you to come — we pull out a gun. Fight fire with fire.”

I've been calling grassroots donors to say thank you for their support. Being on the road takes resources, and I don't take it lightly when someone chooses to chip in a few dollars to make this work possible. One of those calls was with Jon in New Mexico. Here's how that conversation went:

"This was...a deliberate choice to penalize a journalist for refusing to sanitize factually accurate reporting, and it sends a chilling message to the entire newsroom....Today, CBS management is...choosing access journalism over accountability and protecting power rather than scrutinizing it."

With Aaron Rodgers retiring after this season, it seems like Jaxon Dart will step up to replace him as the official cartoonishly douchey QB of the NFL.

Yesterday, I heard from Robson Ranch residents concerned about the dramatic utility rate hikes approved by the Arizona Corporation Commission. Approving a 154% sewer rate and ~23% water rate increase is a failure of the Commission's constitutional duty. That's why my office is getting involved.

Does E. Jean Carroll need any assistance in filing her slam-dunk claim against her rapist's $1.8 billion slush fund for being a victim of the weaponization of the judiciary? I'd be glad to help!

@neildegrassetyson.com: "The relationship of the executive branch and science has never been as devastating as it has been under the current administration... We will sink lower economically, in our health, our wealth & our security, until everyone wakes up and is reminded how important science is."

“Texans can’t afford brisket under this administration”

He also is an adulterer, liar, and swindler who is forcing “Christian values” on us Texans of all backgrounds.

This is what Texas needs 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Yesterday, we post about the Trump administration’s plan to require all federal workers to sign nondisclosure agreements. The government is not a business. It exists to serve the public and the public has a right to know how it’s being run.

Russian citizens are being prepared for a defeat. The underlying message and direction of narrative is a significant departure from the 3-days in Kyiv and war propaganda that has been directed at the public to avoid dissent and revolt.

Wanna know a secret? MAGA is hemorrhaging voters. The paid shills are trying to keep sanewashing this, but there’s a reason Trump’s primary performance doesn’t translate to general elections: His base is shrinking, and voters are tired of the bullshit.

Imagine confidently telling a story about meeting the ‘owner’ of Toyota when Toyota literally doesn’t have a single owner. It’s publicly traded! And even worse, the man Felon47 supposedly spoke with had died in 2023! The lying never stops with Felon47! #SheShed #FactsMatter #TruthMatters

This is the coolest ceasefire ever, you can just bomb shit every other day, call it defensive, and claim the ceasefire is still intact.

We saw this before from Trump in the first term with soldiers injured in a retaliatory bombing that he refused to acknowledge. Nothing new. He’s pretending as if they don’t exist. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-v...

Talarico's right. Paxton reduced serial child rapist Hoffman’s LIFE SENTENCE for abusing a boy over 3 years to ONE DAY. Pedophiles have high reoffense rates, esp. w/o intensive treatment. Paxton has likely condemned more children to future abuse; for that alone he belongs in jail, not the Senate.

"The Iranians are not going to let anybody with a vessel who's putting sanctions on them get their vessels through the Strait. It's as simple as that." Bob Kagan tells @timmiller.bsky.social why Iran’s leverage over the Strait of Hormuz could render the sanctions regime meaningless.

This third of their chat on God is perhaps the most devastating argument against Christian nationalism. The implication is that, by putting God in a political box, as it were, Christian nationalists are actually worshipping a small, petty and insignificant God, which is blasphemy and perversion.

Why should we honor and protect the First Amendment's separation between church and state? To protect all religions from the corrupting nature of power. Tearing that down corrupts all faith. James Talarico:

The FCC, in effect, banned James Talarico from appearing on Stephen Colbert's show last week to prevent the Senate candidate from Texas from getting attention. It backfired. He got more attention than he normally would. But what did people end up seeing? Two decent, caring men talking about God.

Paxton wants Texans to believe Talarico is some kind of godless liberal. Here's what he talked about with Colbert three months ago.

Erin Brockovich has been fighting evil corporations that pollute the environment for so long that there was a Hollywood movie about her starring Julia Roberts back in 2000. It's a bad sign for the AI industry that she is now on the anti-data center bandwagon.

The corporation didn't lose money - they passed it along to their customers. But THEY get this money as a bonus. inequality.org/article/corp...

FYI ! Thanks, Andrea.......

Wow, Paxton is a real piece of work, a sleaze-bag & criminal. Any Texans that are supporting Paxton are exactly who they vote for. You can’t separate yourself. There appears to be many Texans that are sleaze-bags & criminal minded like him. That’s really too bad. Disheartening,

Fellow Texans, your vote is secret.

I notice that American officials aren't telling this to AMERICANS. 😡 #WakeUpMAGA #Iran #PromotionalPresident #TrumpLies

This is what the bulldozed White House looks like today, a UFC arena being built directly in front of it, total classless chaos. Literally makes me sick to my stomach.

I have no words...

It gets worse:

We lost this war. A while ago, actually. Don't get me wrong, we killed a bunch of kids and sank some boats the Iranians don't use or care about, but in every way that matters this war isn't just lost but was lost *months* ago. So these nighttime cope sessions are... {*shiver*}.

Everyone sees how pathetic this is, right? How pathetic *he* is? How much he's embarrassing us all? I really feel like this has nothing whatsoever to do with politics, just the nature of humankind and what makes us cringe. I mean this is some really bleak, morbid sundowning here.

Striking an embassy in an act of war under international law. The use of armed force against a foreign embassy is an act of aggression. Medvedev's post is evidence Russia is prepared to make such strikes.

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