The GOP decries how awful the cities are in our state. They claim they are crime-infested, homeless folks everywhere, crowded, and controlled by Democrats... But the map shows the conservative rural half of Texas is declining in population, and the cities are booming.

Texas has the most prisoners of any state, nearing 150K. -We rank #6 with our imprisonment rate at 452/100K. -We rank #8 in Black/ White incarceration rate at 3.5/1.

Those very red rural Texas counties have always voted to be left alone and have no services. They don't want hospitals, pharmacies, internet, or Democrats. www.texastribune.org/2026/03/26/r...

If this isn't the Texas GOP's gamebook, I'm a duck. - Education - DPS - Health care - CPS - EBT

Impeached philanderer AG Ken Paxton looks to be DJT's pick in the Texas Senate race. James Talarico has just been handed a golden goose.

A Republican election judge in Minnesota was found guilty of permitting 11 unregistered people to vote in '24. lptv.org/hubbard-co-e...

Absolutely astounding that the City of Dallas is truly considering tearing down iconic City Hall, designed by I.M. Pei, so they can give the land to a Trump supporter who will build a casino.

This reboot of Arrested Development is hilarious. Can't wait to see the season finale.

Excited to see what Kendall Scudder and the @texasdemocrats.bsky.social do with a $30M coordinated campaign to get out the vote in Texas. www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/new...

Two-time presidential contender and civil rights icon Jesse Jackson has passed away. In 1988, he won 29% of the vote and gave Michael Dukakis a run for his money. Rest in Power. www.reuters.com/world/us/jes...

The lawless DOJ has floundered again. This time, a grand jury refused to indict the lawmakers who made the video telling military members they could disobey illegal orders. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/u...

He's inching ever closer to taking over the elections and our Democracy. Hitler outlawed all other parties within 6 months of taking power. SS presence was increased on the streets, and Nazis monitored the voting process to ensure their victory. www.cnn.com/2026/02/02/p...

Layoffs are looming at @wapo, and Bezos is MIA. WaPo's subscriptions have dropped by almost a third since '21. I feel awful for the journalist there, but Bezo's embrace of MAGA has killed the paper. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/f...

As I expected, the knives have come out in the Texas Senate race. James Talarico is in hot water for allegedly calling Allred a mediocre Black man. Allred posted a response video and endorsed Crockett. www.cnn.com/2026/02/02/p...

The Tarrant County GOP is mortified by the ass-whooping they took in the Texas Senate race on Saturday. Tarrant County Judge Tim O’Hare told the crowd. “...last night, we got our butts kicked.” fortworthreport.org/2026/02/02/t...

If you're rebelling against a dictator outside of the US, the US should arm you to fight. But if you are rebelling against a dictator here, you should not be armed, says Ted Cruz while explaining the virtues of tits on a bull. www.sacurrent.com/news/sen-ted...

Denver based ICE is leaving behind racist Ace of Spades cards in the cars of immigrants they are detaining. www.axios.com/local/denver...

I spoke with The Hill about the Texas Senate Democratic primary. I am really excited about November here in Texas. O'Rourke came within 225K votes of sending Cruz permanently on vacation in '18. I expect similar energy from Democrats this year. thehill.com/homenews/cam...

Immigrant Cubans in Florida, whose US citizen counterparts overwhelmingly voted for DJT, are being deported back home in record numbers. That socialism they were afraid of with us Democrats ended up being benign compared to the American fascism served up by the GOP. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/u...

With the Governor of VA sworn in, Democrats now control 24 governorships in the US. That is up from 16 just a decade ago. The GOP wants you to believe Democrats are finished, but the numbers tell a very different story.

The Tehran protests have turned violent with an estimated 200 dead. DJT stated he would intervene if the regime used violence. Are we going to bomb Iran again? time.com/7345092/iran...

The US population is expected to start declining around 2030 due to lower birth rates and little immigration. ICE is destroying America's future. www.npr.org/2026/01/07/n...

Texas's booming economy has come to a screeching halt and started contracting, according to the Fed. Manufacturing has now declined for two consecutive months. seekingalpha.com/news/4535706...

Spoke with The Hill, along with a lot of other Texans, about Crockett's chances of winning in Texas and whether her divisiveness will work in her favor. thehill.com/homenews/cam...

Well, well, if it ain't the repercussions of bad decisions by the Texas GOP. Our grid is at risk of collapse this winter because of....drum roll please.....AI data centers. #fixthedamngrid www.audacy.com/krld/news/st...

Engineered stone countertops release silica dust during the fabrication process, which can be fatal to fabricators who are exposed to it. Drs are petitioning CA to ban it. www.kqed.org/news/1206716...

When our grid collapses again here in Texas the GOP and AI data centers will be to blame. "The second quarter alone saw 78 applications totaling 70,000 megawatts." www.chron.com/news/article...

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

Collin Allred has dropped out of the Senate race and will run for Congress again against Julie Johnson in #TX33. I bet that means Crockett is definitely in. www.wfaa.com/article/news...

The Democratic Rep Cuellar pardon just got more interesting. Trump blasted him over the weekend for not switching parties, saying he had "a lack of loyalty." The conman got conned. www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/t...

If Texas congressional races see the same 13-point swing that #TN07 did, Democrats would likely flip #TX28, #TX34,#TX35, and #TX23. #TX15, #TX09, #TX24,#TX32, #TX23 would all be tight races. thehill.com/newsletters/...

A pedofile and a murderer walk into a guilded bar... and the joke is on us.

Here we go again with Halligan's folly. She never presented all of Comey's indictments to the grand jury that are now part of the charges brought against him in court. abcnews.go.com/US/comey-see...

As @hcrichardson.bsky.social points out in her email today, it is the 162nd anniversary of Lincoln's famous speech at the location of the Battle of Gettysburg.

While the state of Illinois and the Feds battle out deployment of troops in the state, TX has wasted $5M deploying its National Guard troops who have done nothing, waiting for the court's approval. When will we tire of Abbott's wasteful spending in this state? www.texastribune.org/2025/10/29/t...

So, Trump's Liberation Day in April not working out? Things actually did get more expensive? The consumer actually does pay for tariffs? Nothing like economics to get in the way of a bad plan. www.reuters.com/business/tru...

Beto was right in 2022. Abbott is the single greatest driver of inflation in Texas. He has no real solutions, only platitudes. Here we are again with him making the same promises from 4 years ago. www.texastribune.org/2022/04/22/t...
