Dumber than buying Epstein’s ranch?

In a new statement, Texas Comptroller @DonHuffines says “building a permanent wall through Big Bend National Park is one of the dumbest ideas I’ve heard in a long time.” He also says he’s pleased w/ the massive decrease in illegal border crossings. #txlege

Full statement:

Remarkable how perfectly American fascism crystallizes into these figures you couldn’t write into fiction without being accused of heavy-handedness

The new wave of narco imperialism is led by a sweaty, wide-eyed, coked-out christian zealot ranting about drug cartels? Okay. Sure.

"Both parties don't care about high prices" One party had to face a global inflationary environment and the other party pressed the "raise all prices" button for no reason whatsoever. Whether she quits politics or not, she will always be a hack.

In any other situation, an oligopoly of trillion-dollar corporations committing a bunch of felonies, being almost entirely unregulated, and intending to crush labor would militate the left to action. But against AI firms, we can’t, because what if we look silly?

Hurling F-bombs at an 85-year-old scientist who won’t fight back doesn’t make you tough. Staying silent after your own daughter accused Rep. Max Miller of holding a gun to her head, pushing her against a wall, and fracturing your granddaughter’s collarbone makes you a coward.

AOC on the Defiance Act: I’ve had bills that everyone agrees on, and people on my team are told they can’t move because they have my name on them. I would really implore Speaker Johnson: We should not allow pedophiles to run amok because you just don’t like a girl.

I wrote about the new Johnny Depp film, and what his rehabilitation reveals about Me Too

being transparent about this because women’s health has historically been underfunded and understudied.

AOC on why men put women like her in nonconsensual deepfake AI porn

“What these abusers are trying to do is make an example of women who are in the public eye in order to discourage women everywhere from standing in their own light.”

[Gillian Branstetter @GBBranstetter]

The father of 16 y/o May Pollard, whose lawsuit challenging Idaho's bathroom ban was dismissed after her suicide: “There is a huge amount of animosity, every single day, thrown at trans kids. The whole fucking country. The whole fucking administration, every single fucking day.”

Raphael Warnock: “Donald Trump lost Georgia in 2020. That’s not my opinion, it’s a fact. The votes were counted, recounted, audited, and litigated. He lost, he lost, he lost. He’s trying to sow doubt on the integrity of our elections in Georgia so he can create the pretext to interfere in 2026. This president is a liar, a cheater, and a fraud and he has shown us over and over again that staying in power matters more to him than anything else”

AOC: I actually think the more important advice that I would give would be to my incumbent colleagues, which is: you will create a self-fulfilling prophecy by deciding who these young women are before you’ve met them.

And if you are already panicking and sending little messages in your group chats about how these people need to be reined in, tamped down, and shown their place, you are creating the antagonistic dynamic that we do not need.

These are two young, talented, intelligent women who got elected against all odds, against millions of dollars. Perhaps there is something we can learn from them.

Serving as @AustinYoungDems President the last 2 years has been an incredible honor. I’m deeply grateful to our members, supporters, and boards I have the privilege of serving alongside. Congratulations to our new President @Arae2201 — I wish her and the new board much success!👏

I guess society at large has simply decided sex crimes are no big deal. Like shoplifting a candy bar

This is infinitely less annoying than pretending that Platner is a tortured soul and representative of American masculinity (thank God he’s not)
