James Talarico: Since taking office, Ken Paxton has become a multi-millionaire — all while most Texans’ pay has remained stagnant for decades. He now owns 15 homes, while most Texans can't afford one. We can't afford Ken Paxton's corruption.
The Monument to Trump that would be appropriate would be a replica of a 7ft X 12 ft prison cell at Supermax (such as ADX Florence in Colorado): The cells about 84 square feet and are made of poured concrete with heavy-duty steel doors. That is where Trump belongs.
Donald Trump’s proposed 250-foot-tall triumphal arch would change the skyline of Washington to such an extent that it would intrude on views at dozens of historic sites around the capital, according to an assessment by National Park Service staff. thehill.com/homenews/adm...
Apple got a $2.2 billion tariff refund. Amazon got $600 million. Trump is sending the "refunds" to the companies, not working people. Every single cent of these refunds should go back to American consumers.
A federal judge denied a request by more than two dozen Democratic states to halt a Trump regime policy that would require Medicaid recipients with terminal diseases to prove they are too sick to work in order to be exempt from new work requirements.* www.commondreams.org/news/trump-m...

Republicans refused to allow Democrats to replace terminally ill Diane Feinstein on four major Senate committees. She died at 90 on Sept. 29, 2023 after casting her last vote. But, did Moscow Mitch and (R-NJ) Congressman Thomas Kean, Jr have to prove they were too ill to work? .
⬆️No, Moscow Mitch and Rep Tom Kean, Jr received full taxpayer-funded health benefits during their absence from work.
* At the height of the COVID pandemic, MAGA Republicans encouraged people to return to work. Plant managers waged bets on which employee would die next. A young woman on her way to work, collapsed in the parking lot and later died. This is the future fascists envision for all non-rich citizens.
But we're already there. Reports are USPS as well as Amazon employees died on factory floors, while their co-workers continued their duties, as if nothing happened. I am also reminded of the young woman who collapsed in the parking lot at her job. She was later diagnosed with COVID, and died.
Democratic Leadership always talks about how they have to be pragmatic and move right to appeal to swing voters when it comes to social and economic issues, unless it's a winning issue like this of course where Jeffries and Schumer refuse to back any specific proposal on data centers.
Data center protestors interrupt Trump event🇺🇸
Hey, remember when the head of GM -- which is, totally coincidentally, the manufacturer of the Cadillac Escalade -- introduced Trump at his political rally yesterday?
Hey I know inflation is out of control and a lot of folks can’t afford basic necessities, but at least we’re tackling waste fraud and abuse by buying… *checks notes* 250 Escalades for the government.
He’s much more than “just a liar” in my view. He’s a murderer, a sexual predator, thief, adulterer, out and out racist & misogynist, & a total cnut. Right now, he’s the devil on earth.
@blackangst2.bsky.social @smaddoxsr.bsky.social @elderreed.bsky.social @iveyjanette.bsky.social OMG! If Republican-privatized TSA employees are of the same caliber as their ICE and TSA agents, it will impossible to discern the terrorists from private mercenaries.
Hey, let's monetize airport security and give the Saudis nukes. What could go wrong?
Millions of people of almost every description have served in the US military since 1776 - BUT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO SERVED IN OUR MILITARY IN DONALD TRUMP'S FAMILY, PAST AND PRESENT, IS ZERO.

Thousands were invited by Trump to travel from 50 States to overturn the 2020 election which Trump and his legal goons had already FAILED to prove he won more than 60 times in court. Biden was wrong to not press for the prosecution of Trump for Treason as soon as Biden took office.
Hey, look over here, troglodytes! Remember the MASKS OF TYRANNY! The ones you’re perfectly happy with now, so long as they’re covering the mug of a failed mall-cop goon who shoots a mom in the face. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...
That fat, ugly, fuck wasted $15 million on a botched pool liner but he went all the way to the Supreme Court to make sure hungry kids couldn’t eat.
Soon Trump will spay and neuter both houses of Congress as he DOGE's them out of existence.
Witness a Congress in contempt of itself.
the intentional abdication by Congress of nearly all of its constitutional responsibilities is at the core of most of our problems as a nation
