Unearthed documents just revealed Ken Paxton, as Attorney General, protected a research lab that tortured 400 puppies. Paxton was also one of the only Texas lawmakers to vote against a bill to hold animal abusers accountable.

This is the most Republican story you will read all day. A Republican who represents Trump’s home district was arrested for molesting his OWN GRANDSON and could face the death penalty under a state law he sponsored. There has to be a German word for this.

So racist Abbott is now threatening DFW Airport and Houston with cutting off fund because they are installing facilities to wash feet. They are not calling them Muslim foot washing areas. I’m sure Christian could use them. Actually, many should. www.texastribune.org/2026/08/14/t...

Abbott threatens Texas airports' funding over Islamic facilities

Following Abbott's statement, DFW said late Friday that plans to install the religious washing station had been canceled.

Truly, people have lost their minds. They don’t have enough fat on their bodies for their face, butt or breast lift, so they are using some from dead bodies. I can’t even. 🙀

He's here! Murf is beside my chair right now. He's the sweetest boy. Not easy to photograph in the dark as he's mostly black. If we lived near Smidge, he'd be joining her at Chub Club. He needs to lose 10-15 pounds. 😎 #sheltie

Tal día como hoy, hace 90 años, fue asesinado Blas Infante por el fascismo. Murió gritando "¡Viva Andalucía libre!". Los restos de su asesino fascista Queipo de Llano estuvieron con honores hasta 2022 en La Basílica de La Macarena. El cadáver de Blas Infante sigue todavía en una cuneta.

If you haven’t visited Big Bend National Park in Texas, well, too bad because we are losing most of it to Trump’s paranoia about the border and the greed of contractors who are getting $1.7 Billion to destroy its natural beauty building roads and installing 6-ft metal posts. ☹️

Colorado frens, we were watching an old episode of Last Week Tonight that mentioned the Republican primary for Colorado governor. WTF? Victor Marx, possible murdered (by his admission) and exorcism performer by phone. This is the candidate. 😹 Too much pot, I think.

It seems Republicans are going full steam ahead with the 1930s-1940s iconography that subtly touches on white supremacy. Or maybe it’s more of a Stalinist look that goes with Trump’s negotiating of government partial ownership of industries. Whatever it is, modern and forward looking, it is not.

 Graphics for the Republican so called midterm convention that is u fortunately being held in Dallas. Too bad they are not holding it in August so they could all melt in Texas heat.
