Progressive in Red state. Dogs names: Paxton(RIP: 07-19-25, most AMAZING dog ever), Porteur (Born June 20, 2025)& Cruz (RIP: 05-12-26, sweetest, most intelligent dog ever, ever. Paxton & Cruz leave, behind, a broken heart).Facts matter. So does kindness.
@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.
ICE set a record in July. 51,000 arrests. Yet…we watch the biggest criminal in US history…walk around unscathed.
Handsome is, as handsome does. And he’s smart. And he’s married to Michelle.
Happy birthday to an actual President, Barack Obama. 💙
El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"
You're paying $2,358 in federal taxes for Trump's mass deportations. @epi.org 's new calculator shows what your community could have instead www.epi.org/deportation-...
Smooth, factual, common sense, logical, succinct, relatable, smart, concise, eloquent, gracious….
fuck that's a smooth answer
Whenever one of these freaks goes off on a tangent about their trans conspiracy of the day, the proper response -- from an interviewer or anyone else -- is "well, it seems like you're having some sort of mental breakdown here, so we'll wrap it up"
Royce White is now ranting about "transgender sex dolls" during a forum that is supposed to be about agricultural issues. This guy is a serious Republican in Minnesota who had the party's nomination for a Senate seat two years ago. Insanity.
RFK Jr's CDC reportedly scaled back foodborne disease tracking last year, removing cyclospora from mandatory reporting. The CDC also lost roughly 3,000 employees since 2025. Now a cyclosporiasis outbreak has killed 2 and sickened thousands across 45 states. "Make America Healthy Again."
I find comfort in this daily post. Just knowing someone acknowledges a fact….
The President of the United States is a liar.
MAGA is the party of domestic abuse and sex trafficking.
Trump on domestic abuser Max Miller: “He’s a good person.” Trump on trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell: “I wish her well.” Trump on the Pope: “He needs to shut up!”
Founders: We made the legislature Article I on purpose. The Constitution gives Congress oversight powers and requires the president to faithfully execute laws. And Congress is the only one with power to override or remove officials from other branches. Cornyn: What I presuppose is… maybe it doesn’t
Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"
The Democrats' midterm ad practically writes itself.
Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"
The founders are calling. They suggest you read the damn Constitution.
Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"
The President of the United States is a convicted felon, an adjudicated rapist, and an alleged paedophile.
Two senators on their way out the door. Nothing left to lose. Total leverage. And they traded it for a memo. A piece of paper. Cornyn and Tillis folded like lawn chairs, and everybody knew they would. Again.
Americans are suffering all over the country and the orange felon is playing golf and congratulating himself on winning a tournament even though it’s well known that he always cheats at golf. I hate him.
Oh really? Tell me how that bill works out for you. BTW, all the republicans you eat lunch with everyday enable Trump; and you enable all your lunch buddies.
This past weekend, Truth Social’s $100,000 subscription service for early access to Trump’s posts went live. Last night, I introduced a bill to crack down on this corruption and ensure all Americans have free and equal access to public announcements from government officials.
These Republican senators are a colossal joke.
Nothing?
Just a reminder that the president of the United States recently had to pay almost $6 million to the woman he sexually abused and defamed, and not one reporter has asked him about it.
Wharton School of Business either failed at economics or Trump failed economics courses at Wharton……or both.
The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve is at its lowest level since April 1983. It's nearly half empty because of Trump and his stupid little war. And when it runs out we'll start seeing the worst inflation ever.
The 6 largest oil companies will collectively rake in $45B in profits in the second quarter of 2026 — nearly double what they made in the first quarter. Meanwhile, Canada, France, and Spain are battling record-breaking wildfires spurred by the climate crisis. Big Oil profits while the world burns.
