Trump has unleashed the gravest crisis in the Middle East in history. He's completely checked out on doing anything about it and the dipshits in the media who demanded Joe Biden personally solve a baby formula shortage have precisely ZERO to say about it.

.@TVietor08: I just want to make sure that listeners know the story of Ken Paxton and a man named Adam Hoffman.

Adam Hoffman was an attorney in Waco, Texas. He was arrested in 2022 after being accused of repeatedly sexually abusing a young boy.

A grand jury indicted him on continuous sexual abuse of a young child.
It’s a first degree felony that can get you 25 years to life in prison. The local DA had to recuse himself for some reason, so Paxton’s office led the prosecution.…

Paxton’s office offered a plea deal down to two misdemeanors that originally proposed giving Hoffman one day in jail.

One day.

… Ken Paxton gave a Jeffrey Epstein style sweetheart deal to a child rapist and then let him back out on the streets without even requiring this guy to register as a sex offender.

@JonFavs: The Republican Party has nominated an attorney general who set a child rapist free after 29 days in prison.

“He raped me.”

“Donald J Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.”

“She was found with her head ‘blown off’… there was no way it was a suicide.”

…describing a child victim, pulled from the Epstein files, of which Trump is still uncharged and actively covering up.

Trump has pardoned Trevor Milton, a man convicted of stealing $695 million from investors.

This pardon came after Milton donated nearly $1 million to Trump's PAC.

If you are a criminal and have a bag of cash for the orange pig… you’re as good as free.

So just in the past few days we found out:
- Don Jr's wedding was paid for by one of Putin's best friends.
- The Pentagon somehow has accidentally sent pieces of an F-35 fighter jet to Hong Kong
- Canada is basically ending its relationship with us and pivoting to Europe.
- Trump is plotting to demolish The Kennedy Center because he can't put his name on it.

If you voted for Trump, you are an idiot. You just are.

[Vedant Nair @vedantnair__]

Much has been said by racists, politicians, and racist politicians (like Bo French) about Indians and UT Austin admissions. I thought I should shed some light so their racism could be slightly more intelligent.

I'm a brown kid. I grew up in Frisco, went to a massive Texas high school, and went to UT.

I would wager that the kids in this picture and I have practically the same background. Like me, they probably went to a massive, pressure-cooker suburban Texas high school, and survived the gauntlet to earn their admissions.

These aren’t foreigners. State law requires 90% of UT's freshman class to be Texas residents. 75% of those in-state seats go to automatic admission on class rank. These are Texans.

Texas, for better or worse, is one of the few meritocratic college admissions schemes in the country for a school of its caliber. The rules are simple. Today, the top 5% of a public school's graduating class is automatically accepted. There is nothing to game. You can’t fake being a competitive rower or have some consultant write your essays for you. There isn’t anything to steal; it’s all there on the table to compete for.

And the competition starts the moment the bell rings for your first period of freshman year. You are ranked in your class every single year, for us, #1 to #450. You knew exactly where you were, exactly how hard you had to compete. My year was even less competitive than it is today. The top 6% made the cut, so that’s an all-out war for ~27 kids to get auto-accepted into UT.

So we worked our butts off. Here's what my life was like, starting in kindergarten.

Every summer, before the school year started, I had to finish the upcoming year's math textbook.

I sweated over getting As, even in elementary school. One funny memory is walking to my parents' room, crying, to report my first-ever 89 on a report card.

I did Kumon, my least favorite thing in the world. I still hate that weird half-smile that is their logo.

I went to math and science competitions, where I always lost, and came home crying again. (Quite the crybaby, wasn't I!)

And everyone else around me worked just as hard. Actually, a lot of the kids worked much harder. I know people who took extra classes (zero period) just to boost their GPA. Who routinely slept 5 hours a night to nail every assignment they had after band practice. Who were distraught when they got a 98 instead of a 100. People who stopped doing things they loved, like sports or arts, because those classes dragged down their GPA.

People put their entire life force into getting into this school.

I wasn't even in the top 10% of my class. The competition was too good. I wasn't disciplined enough to hang with them. I got in as one of the 22.5% of admits who are at-large Texans.

These are American kids who earned their way into this school in the most American way possible. Competition. They were told the rules, they competed, and they got the number. And on Saturday they were in that stadium in burnt orange, screaming their heads off, like every other Texan at DKR or around the country. I can’t feel anything but pride for them. That they get to live the dream that so many of us dreamt growing up!

Kids like this have helped improve UT’s standing on the national stage. They made it out of the pressure cooker and placed well in Finance, Big Tech, and more recently, startups. They meaningfully contribute to the economies of our state and country. You should be proud of them too.

Overall, this seems like a meritocratic (albeit flawed) way for Texans to be admitted to our state’s flagship school. It’s racially blind. But politicians like Bo French are asking for something different. They want the student body to rebalance racially.

Surely they aren’t advocating for affirmative action, are they?
