Texas was built by hope. By people who had no business believing — but believed anyway. To every Texan who’s ever wondered if anyone in power is paying attention: We are taking our state back. Because a little bit of hope is a dangerous thing.
Meta "made a bad call?" How does that happen? We know what #NoKings is doing. They are organizing protests and encouraging people to vote. How does Meta make a "bad call" here?

Congress passed tough sanctions on Russia to punish Putin and help end the war in Ukraine. Now the White House turns around and undoes all of that to let Russia off the hook for their illegal invasion. That isn’t maximum pressure. It’s maximum retreat.
Small sample size here, but I truly do hate this president and his movement. It has nothing to do with him being the incumbent.
The New Republic@newrepublic.com · 3w agoIt’s not clear if the party’s pending successes are about voters hating the president and his movement or just part of a broader, worldwide anti-incumbent sentiment. trib.al/twrMW4S
Thanks for pointing out the obvious, Brian. Yes! People should in fact vote for the other party rather than the one that created these problems.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoKILMEADE: Inflation is up 3.7% & gas is up 9%. For people who say 'I'm going to vote for the other party,' what do you say? KATIE ZACHARIA: Well, the reason we're in this situation is Biden, so I would say President Trump has done everything he's been able to. You can't correct the ship overnight.
In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool. They can’t erase history. jan6memoryproject.org

Trump wants to make sure it’s as easy as possible for his friend Putin to bomb apartment buildings and kill children. He’s not just the worst president in history, he’s the most evil person to ever serve at the highest level of government. Vote out his weak Republican enablers.
Trump and Musk are doing everything they can to try and force Ukraine to surrender to Putin while Musk spends over $300 million to try and buy the midterm elections to maintain total power. The American government under Republicans are on the side of evil. Vote them out.
For the first time ever, someone involved with a movie is doing interviews to promote it — very suspicious stuff.
Curtis Flowers, a Black man who spent more than 22 years in prison and was on death row in Mississippi before the U.S. Supreme Court threw out his conviction and death sentence, dies at 56.

This is what the GOP stands for — the harassment of nonwhite Americans.
ProPublica@propublica.org · 4w ago4/ Fernando Vasquez, an 18-year-old citizen, was on break from work when agents chased and handcuffed him, then put him in their truck. After realizing their mistake, the agents left the teen alone in the woods, with no way to get home. Then they threw his ID out of the truck.
White supremacist cops take a minority citizen, drive him out to the woods as a threat, and leave him there. No, it's not Mississippi in the 1930s, why do you ask?

Great reporting by ProPublica. Sad and infuriating that DOGE and Vought focus on cutting services to the need instead of wasteful defense spending.
ProPublica@propublica.org · last mo.NEW: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes.

Extraordinary, powerful and heart-wrenching. Active duty Marine Colonel Zach Schmidt, speaking in his personal capacity, about Khalil, an Afghan national whose family helped U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Khalil was deported by the U.S. on Friday to a conflict zone.
