Let's thank the people of Tarrant County who stood up and fought against these polling cuts by speaking at the Commissioners Court. The fight's not over though... we're gonna need a lot of Tarrant County residents to fight back and speak up just in case polling cuts come up again next month.

Polling cuts survive another month, but not without a fight.

Tarrant County Judge Tim O'Hare demanded the removal of former state lawmaker Lon Burnam, for picking up the microphone while speaking. Deputies dragged the 73-year-old out by his hands and feet. #Texas #TarrantCounty #Resistance #Dallas Credit @dallasmorningnews

61 years after the Voting Rights Act became law, Texans are still fighting to be counted at the ballot box. Yesterday, the voice of the people was so loud that the Tarrant County Commissioners Court had no choice but to table their attempt to cut polling locations before the midterm election.

Laws protecting US kids & global aid via USAID used to be easy bipartisan votes. Now bombing schools, defunding ed and food for kids, deporting kids even if they’re US citizens, and protecting child predators is the daily work of 47, his DOJ and his Republican Party. #CrueltyIsThePoint #Midterms

Cory is an incredibly generous and sweet guy. A Dutch friend also sent me a screenshot of Cory mentioning me on a Dutch documentary last week. He's taught me a lot about how to diligently spread the word about other folks' ideas.

GOP senators are wealthy people with pensions, portfolios, connections and often past retirement age. Their only job is to be informed and express their opinion as a vote. Capitulation to Trump like this shows his contempt for his constituents, government in general and the nation. #VoteBlue

This DRAFT DOGER has NO RIGHT to wear this uniform. Trump gives himself a higher rank and more decorations than both Patton and MacArthur combined. Nothing more than Stolen Valor - Trump is a DISGRACE. #StolenValor IN 2026 - VOTE. MAGA. OUT. ALL OF THEM.

I could have sworn "stolen valor" was a thing Turns out it was just something else Republicans never actually gave a shit about Draft-dodging PoS

Todd Blanche is as corrupt as his boss. He know how rich this slush fund would make right-wing lawyers like himself. It would also fund far-right legal orgs like Alliance Defending Freedom to do things like ban contraception or overturn Obergefell. www.salon.com/2026/07/31/t...
