Retired female Civil engineer. No longer civil. Trump and Musk will reap the wrath of disdain and karma will bite them in the butt. I am a blue spot in a red state. Vocal !!! No DM’s

For once, Ken Paxton is being honest: if it weren't for our broken campaign finance system, he'd have no shot. #UnrigWashington candidate @jamestalarico.bsky.social is running to reform our system and fight for Texans. Ken Paxton can't say the same. #TXSEN

Ken Paxton: The only thing that really saves us is that the Supreme Court came along and allowed Super PACs. Otherwise... I would be sitting here and never have a chance...

MacFarlane: The Second Harvest Food Bank of North Central Ohio has got the same issue. Last year, they paid $50,000 for diesel to transport their food. Now, they’re paying $150,000 for the diesel to transport their food.

Talarico wants data centers to pay for their own grid upgrades, recycle their water, create real jobs, & get a community's consent before moving in. Paxton took nearly $500,000 from the industry. Texans want a senator who fights for them. That's why we will have a #BlueWaveIn40Days

Kushner isn't an elected official & doesn't work for our government. Also, Netanyahu, a war criminal trying to avoid prison (like Trump & Musk), has been friends w/ the Kushners for decades, & the Kushners want to build hotels in Israel, & Jeffries takes tons of money from AIPAC. Hope that helps!

Mamdani has great strategic impulses. What he's doing is completely confusing and demoralizing to trumpers. He told them to hate Mamdani now he's saying to love him. Every bit of hypocrisy Trump displays, erodes him with his base.

Trump calling the Iran conflict “small potatoes” while Americans have already spent more than $37.5 billion on it is… quite a definition of “small.” Apparently “small” now means billions of taxpayer dollars and dead American service members. 🤦‍♀️🇺🇸 apnews.com/article/trum...

Trump calls Iran conflict 'small potatoes' and defends Vance's position that it's not a 'war'

President Donald Trump describes the conflict in Iran as "small potatoes" and says he agrees with Vice President JD Vance's assertion that months of on-and-off attacks in the Middle East are no longer...

Dietram Scheufele is a major science communication scholar. What strikes me (as it has in past cases, including those at Michigan) is how academia--faculty and administrators--simply *do not want to know* about bad actors, especially when they are famous. Explains why ASU has turned a blind eye too.

UW-Madison professor engages in multiple sexual relationships with students, disparages another over their sexual orientation and appearance, creates hostile environment, and department leadership covers it all up. And in true “pass the trash” fashion, moves on to ASU once forced to resign.

The best sermon is the one you live. I preached this morning. But my real sermon happened across Texas this week, as our campaign collected 20,000 pounds of groceries for our neighbors. As scripture says, “faith without works is dead.”

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

Two questions I would love the press to ask Trump- 1) if you want the US to beat China in the AI race, why are you selling them our chips and our technology? 2) why are you cozying up to communists when you regularly accuse the democrats of being just that
