We should protect all those who call Texas home, including wildlife. When data centers spread into sensitive habitats, Texans risk losing the land, water, and wildlife that make our state plentiful. It's time to put our families and our Texas heritage ahead of Wall Street's AI ambitions.

"So he can feel a bit more manly by making an AI video" is a direct callback to this image that deserves a second life in this campaign
Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social · 7h agoDr. Abdul El-Sayed: Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put a data center in your backyard so he can feel a bit more manly by making an AI video. If you want a senator who's gonna lick some boots, go vote for Rogers. But if you want a senator who's going to stand up to Trump, you've got your option.

"We have no alternative but to believe the promises of a man who has brazenly lied to us time and time again. You see, I am but a simple United States senator, bereft of any power and beholden to the whims of the pedophile president's consigliere."
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayCornyn: "As to the idea it could be revived in the future, I think it's highly unlikely that could happen without the cooperation of the DOJ. And I think Mr Blanche gave us the assurances that it was dead and would not be revived and in this case we have no alternative but to take his word" 🙃

A second man, Edwin Lopez-Cornejo, has died at Delaney Hall, the inhumane ICE detention center run by private prison contractor GEO Group. GEO Group’s profits have soared by over 700% since Trump has been back in office. Imagine profiting from death and suffering. Deplorable.

Talarico: I've passed 60 bipartisan bills through the Texas legislature. We're told that it's a choice between people who fight and people who get things done. I think the people of Texas deserve a senator who can do both — and I've shown in the statehouse that I can do both.

I'm just going to keep screaming this until I'm hoarse, but until Trump the norm -- for 50 years -- was that sitting presidents had their taxes audited by the IRS and released to the public to show they were clean. But Trump refused repeatedly, and sued when his return was leaked, and now ... this
