This man could––and should––truly be the leader of the free world. He is the right man, at the right time. And while he is imperfect, as all people are, we have not had as clear a moral voice in this position in decades.
And he's going to throw it away to defer to J.D. Vance?
If the city wants people to move to Downtown Dallas:
1. Turn empty offices into apartments
2. Bring relatable stores/restaurants to the area (Target, Trader Joes, Walgreens, etc)
3. More trees and public parks
5. Improve and prioritize safety
6. Improve public transit
Last night was a Mad Men episode bro. Our interpersonal relationships advanced in carefully plotted ways that were relevant to generational themes and captured the zeitgeist of our country.
MAD MEN is the #1 show of the century, probably all-time. Unparalleled depth, performances, themes, emotions; the best drama that is also somehow the best comedy. I know this; you know this; your mom knows this. We don't have to be babies who pretend otherwise.
As long as everyone is irked about Narnia, here’s my hottest take on which book in the series is best:
The Horse and His Boy
They’re all good, but it’s the best.
DOOCY: Freedom of the press is enshrined in the First Amendment. Are you trying to intimidate the press from doing its job?
OBAMA: No. I dislike dishonest press, like you. I think you're terrible.

In Texas we don’t have
Medicaid expansion
A minimum wage higher than $7.50
A Right to choose
Online voter registration
Gay marriage legalized
Any real workplace safety protections
Paid leave
Universal childcare
And much much more missing.
if you live in a blue state and you want to attack Talarico and Hinojosa for not adhering to what is considered moral in Portland, Oregon, consider what’s possible for Texans if they win.
For those of you keeping score at home.
Trump promised at least 15 times that he’d give checks to working Americans of between $1,000 and $5,000.
How much have they gotten: $0.00.
But here are the large corporations who did get tariff refund checks after charging you more for their products:
Trump’s Tariff Refund Checks
Walmart: $2.9 billion
Apple: $2.2 billion
Ford: $1.3 billion
Target: $994 million
Nike: $986 million
FedEx: $800 million
Home Depot: $730 million
Amazon: $600 million
GM: $500 million
UPS: $500 million
And they’re not alone.
After his so-called Big Beautiful Bill was enacted, 88 large corporations not only paid $0 in federal income taxes after making $105 billion in profits they got a combined $4.7 billion refund check from the IRS.
Here are just a few of them:
Trump’s IRS Refund Checks
CVS: $254 million
Pizza Hut, Taco Bell & KFC: $182 million
Disney: $130 million
United Airlines: $3 million
Southwest Airlines: $2 million
Yes. Trump l-o-v-e-s handing out huge corporate welfare checks to his wealthy friends.
But if you’re a working class stiff, he’s got nothing but broken promises, lies and contempt for you.
He’s a Dem running in Texas, he can and should say whatever it takes to win.
I’m trans and I understand why he’s saying this. People on the left getting mad at him for this need to learn what realpolitik is.
