Fiscal conservative, leans classically liberal. Once moderate - radicalized by the bullshit this admin pulls, daily. NOT. IN. MY. NAME.
This is a *perfectly reasonable*, and I would say *necessary*, platform. And I'm pro-datacenter.
DrDinD.bsky.social@drdind.bsky.social · 4h ago@jamestalarico.bsky.social for Texas US Senate gets it - under his opponent Ken Paxton and Gov. Abbott, data centers are running amok in TX. Talarico has a sensible plan to regulate data centers. Texas, he is the right choice for your next senator, not the corrupt, 15 home owning Paxton.
I suppose my follow-up would be: "Isn't it easier to simply say 'Biden won the 2020 election'? Why add so many extra words in your answer? What is the difference between your answer and the simple one? Please explicitly detail your reasoning."
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2h ago😮 Trump's nominees are the most pathetic men in the world 😮 During a hearing, Blumenthal made Trump nominees squirm by asking them who won the 2020 election -- a question they refuse to answer -- but then Schiff upped the ante by asking them *who won the 2016 election.* Here's a supercut:
Hearings like this are a reminder that if you work for Donald Trump, you are a person of low character and have no integrity. There are no exceptions.

Gonna go out on a limb here and say racist cranks who write for extremist white nationalist websites like VDARE should not, in fact, be confirmed to top roles in the Department of Justice.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2h agoSCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism' C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban S: Do you stand by it? C: I stand by that article S: That's all I need to know
Far from being "far left" - Talarico seems to have pretty good instincts about how to govern responsibly.
Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · 6h agoTalarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.
Make no mistake - there will be significant economic mistakes made by this movement. On the other hand - if this shifts the overton window away from the fucking fascists, it's a price I'm willing to pay.

Because OF COURSE he lied under oath. They ALL lie - all the time.
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · yesterdayBREAKING: Sen. Dick Durbin accuses Todd Blanche of lying under oath. He says Blanche told him in his office — with witnesses — that the slush fund was a mistake. In his confirmation hearing, Blanche denied that remark.
I’m old enough to remember when lying about adultery was worthy of impeachment. Feels quaint at this point.
You could have voted to impeach in January 2000. Instead, you voted for no witnesses and no documents to be allowed at trial. You are a failed person, Cornyn.

When generals start emailing the ranks…begging for “creative and unconventional” ideas, you’ve moved past confidence …and into desperation. That’s not the sound of a winning strategy. It’s the sound of leaders…searching for an exit.
RFKJr claims Lyme disease was created by scientists,which is the closest he’s come to admitting that science exists. Meanwhile, Ötzi the Iceman, who died more than 5.3K years ago, had Lyme disease. Apparently prehistoric humans are part of the conspiracy. Get me off this timeline
On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂↕️
A civilian medical plane went down after an experimental US military GPS jamming test reportedly disrupted its radar. Every person aboard lost their life. www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...
Trump finds anyway he can self deal and enrich himself all while blowing through more than the federal receipt of money. More going on the USA debt. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/c...
Trump’s Fixation on Arctic Ships Led to Billions in No-Bid Contracts
The president decided to buy 11 polar icebreakers after a game of golf with Finland’s president. Experts say it’s far from clear the United States needs so many.

WHY WOULD ANY USA CITIZEN BE EXEMPT FROM A TAX AUDIT??? Especially The President? He is not a KING ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Great news! We only torched 80% of our missile interceptors. That leaves a full 20% for the next war. Which starts Tuesday. Relax. Raytheon’s on it. Delivery date: 2031. P.S. Duck.

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 2d agoThe President promotes Scotts Miracle-Gro in the middle of an Oval Office event: The best grass you can get. Scotts, you know Scotts? Scott's Miracle-Gro, they're doing it. They do great grass. I got to give him a plug because they did the White House for free.
The In-N-Out Burger shooter comes from a family immersed in Trump propaganda. The shooter loved General Flynn, Elon Musk, and RFK Jr. He was pro-natalist and wanted to join ICE, but didn't have a college degree.
Andrew M. | Founder & Advisor 🇬🇷 🇺🇸@andrewmfounder.bsky.social · 3d agoThe shooter at the In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls, Idaho that killed 3 people and injured 2 people is a Republican, white male. Shocked.
If you’ve ever paid an overdraft fee to Capital One, you’ve faced more consequences than Trump did after more than 300 of his accounts were closed for money laundering.
11 years ago today, Ken Paxton surrendered at the Collin County Jail on felony securities fraud charges. This is his mugshot.
