90(R) History for HB 126 | Texas Legislature Online

We’ve gotten rid of Greg Abbott, Ken Paxton, Vivek Ramaswamy, Susan Collins, Roger Marshall, Kris Kobach, the Republican senate majority, the Republican house majority, red Texas, the Cybertruck, and Russell Brand in the last six days. Glorious.
hegseth should be impeached for trying to resegregate the military's upper ranks, and i'm going to be extremely annoyed if people start arguing that's not a good reason
It is really funny Trump offered everyone 5000 bucks if they voted for Republicans and everyone was like no
They’re different units of measurement, like an inch vs a foot. A Zacharia is a half-Scaramucci
Does @ihatejamesdobson.bsky.social know about this
thucksgiving@tylerhuckabee.bsky.social · 3d agoPhil Vischer, the creator of Veggie Tales, weighed in with a "Well, actually, God is a spirit and transcends all gender, this has been theological orthodoxy since forever" and I'm not exaggerating, the Right is ready to gnaw the meat off his bones.
The best case scenario for Trump is he on-purpose publicly offered a famous wifebeater a job before knowing what his answer was and was turned down because the famous wifebeater thinks it's a losing proposition. That's the rosiest picture you can paint
There are many big problems Democrats need to address, but a prime objective should be to find the innocent people this fascist regime has kidnapped and shipped to random countries around the world, repatriate them, bring them back to their families, and pay reparations for the horrors they endured.
This. We have kidnapped and expelled people w/no due process & in violations of law & morality to places where they are being tortured by the state, rendered destitute and vulnerable to (additional) exploitation, "etc". Part of justice and accountability is making direct amends as possible.

Democrats should pander to black women like republicans pander to old white guy racists. If they turn out we flip Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, etc. Thank you for attending my TED talk.
@misterjayem.bsky.social cannot receive dms however i stand here talking texas/chicago politics with them somehow
🔥 @raskin.house.gov : “Accountability vs. Affordability is a false dichotomy— they’re the same thing.” Raskin points out Trump’s corruption and pointless war is why things are expensive, so Dems holding corruption accountable and addressing affordability is not an either/or, it’s BOTH.
I’m really starting to buy the theory that the tiger eating that dude in the uk snapped our timeline back into place
Oracle: If you attack Iran, the people will rise up in response and deliver regime change in an oil rich gulf state.
look I’m stoned so I’m gonna be real nice and gentle okay? Everyone who told us it was fine for democrats to run anti-trans ads if it helped them win because “we can demand better after they win”? You better be on that phone to your electeds’ offices every single day. It’s your shift now.
"Let it be told to the future world, that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet and to repulse it." -– Thomas Paine, The American Crisis No. 1, December 23, 1776
One thing with the Texas AG's office going blue is that the investigation of WPATH by Texas will end. We're going to see a lot of the targeting of trans healthcare stop and existing restrictions fall. The Dem AG could refuse to defend the GAC ban, bathroom ban, etc.
some of the most smugly cruel people in the world are catatonic with horror, disbelief and misery right now and it genuinely feels great actually
I keep thinking about new things Nick Fuentes tweeting "your body, my choice", MAGA chuds laughing about our fear and grief, the January 6th rioters' gleeful faces just this bulletproof sense of invincibility. "we can do whatever we want and you can't stop us" they should never know peace

NEW: No one lost harder last night than Elon Musk. Of every traceable dollar he put into a race that’s been called, more than 99 cents went to a loser. He paid for most of the costliest Senate race in US history, after spending millions to make sure Ken Paxton was the nominee.
Voters Set $400 Million of Elon Musk’s Money on Fire
Elon Musk almost single-handedly funded the Republican midterms push. But of every traceable dollar Musk put into races that have been decided, more than 99 cents went to a race he lost.

Kansas had elected its first Democrat to the Senate since the movie release of Wizard of Oz.
Austin, Texas sounds like an Eastern European city that just overthrew a dictator. #midterms2026 #election2026
