Charlotte Clymer@charlotteclymer.bsky.social · 6d agoI would not want to be a Texas GOP official right now looking at this polling data from Fox News. Mr. Talarico is in good shape: +3 among all voters +18 among moderates +18 among Hispanic voters only -4 among men only -4 among 65+
And just wait until we find out the meager campaign finance laws, that we do have, won't be enforced against anyone running as a Republican. Only Democrats will be under scrutiny, since they replaced everyone that investigates such things, with sycophants loyal to King Donald The First.

SHOCK NYT REPORT: DHS now admits the man ICE killed in Houston wasn't even their target. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 35-year U.S. resident, was just driving to work when agents — with no body cameras — shot him dead searching for two other men who weren't even in the van. Gift link in reply.
Kestrel is very annoyed because I’m testing different camera apps on her.
Probably an unpopular take, but Amish are weird assholes.
I’ve used pretty much only Android since 2009. Today I bought an iPhone Pro Max 17 for something different. Google’s enshitification started to annoy me. Liking most things so far,but the learning curve was more than I expected. After almost 20 years I keep looking for the “back” button.😩😂
BREAKING: Georgia lawmakers have taken redistricting off the table as a result of public pressure. The state will no longer consider a new, racist map that would have diluted Black voting power. This victory makes it loud and clear: Our demands are working.
Just got word from the dealer that inspected the car, in a different city, that the oil filterand gasket were improperly seated leading to a blowout as pressure rose in the engine.
Jack Straw 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇬🇪@jxkstraw.bsky.social · 2mo agoTook three month old Hyundai to the dealer for an oil change this morning. 100ish miles from home all the oil had leaked out and the warning light came on. Hyundai towed it 50 miles to the dealer 50 miles from home. Dealer was closed and I was told too bad. No additional help with a loaner or room.
When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

This means they believe Trump's health is deteriorating so badly they will no longer be able to conceal it. They accuse others of what they are guilty of themselves, so they would only be resurfacing Biden's poor health at this point to whatabout Trump's own.

Tried a new to me trout stream today. Was about to call it a day, as not much was happening, but decided to change to a caddis and cast upsteam to a fairly deep hole. Third cast, about 50 feet up, this nice brown lunged on the fly.
Go bold! There’s nothing to lose and it drags Trump even further into the gutter.
