BIG PLOT TWIST in TX: Tarrant County's GOP officials, faced with intense public outrage about huge cuts to the battleground county's polling locations in November, have decided to delay their final vote on the plan so more polling places can be added

They're probably hoping you won't hear about this. But tomorrow in TX, Tarrant County officials meet to vote on a GOP plan to cut almost HALF of Election Day voting locations, plus 8 early voting locations, some of them on campuses. Not hard to guess why. fortworthreport.org/2026/07/30/t...

Everywhere should be a hostile place for Republicans. They should not be able to find a friend anywhere. They should lose all their professional and familial relationships. They should be blocked from signing up to social media platforms, clubs, and yard sales. They should be ejected from fairs.

On one hand, Infantino could just resign and ride off into the sunset like Sepp Blatter, assuming he embezzled millions from the member nations. If he didn’t embezzle millions, well then that’s a failure of imagination on Infantino’s part and he should get canned on general principle

the mistake many americans make is they look at (oil) futures to try to determine today's gas prices. that's not great- you'd want to use a spot price- futures prices may be lower in the future (backwardation) or higher (contango) and could be disconnected from refined prod price

I’ll be the governor of Texas and I promise you we will find out if there’s a possibility that we can bring him to Texas to put Tuberville in front of a court and a jury to see if we can put this guy in prison. He went 9-17 in the Big 12 at Tech, folks.
