It’s not about arguments. It’s about facts.
I know one great fact about American elections, and I know it because the Republican Party has proved it to me:
There is no election fraud of any consequence anywhere in the United States.
The Republican Party and its allies, FOR DECADES, have been searching high and low, in every corner of our country, for evidence of election fraud.
This effort has been made with vast sums of money and other resources, and with some of the greatest powers in our nation at the party’s disposal:
A presidential commission under President Donald Trump.
The Department of Justice under President Donald Trump, armed with the resources of the FBI, and the powers of subpoena.
Committees of Congress under Republican control, also armed with the powers of subpoena and the investigative resources of the first branch of government.
State legislatures under Republican control, also with subpoena powers, have launched similar efforts to find evidence of election fraud.
Republican-controlled states have set up special commissions and task forces, some with subpoena powers, all well-funded and with access to the state’s electoral systems.
Conservative academics and think tanks have launched projects seeking out evidence of election fraud.
Fox News and the rest of MAGA media have dedicated significant resources to finding evidence of election fraud.
What is the result of this enormous Republican effort to find election fraud?
Ask The Heritage Foundation.
For nearly a decade, Heritage has maintained an “Election Fraud Database.”
The database contains “proven instances of election fraud.”
It covers elections going back nearly fifty years.
That’s billions and billions of American votes.
Right now, the total number of proven instances of election fraud that Heritage can document is:
1620.
That’s an infinitesimal number, vanishingly small, and it is solid proof of two things:
1. Some individuals commit election fraud.
2. There is no evidence at all of systemic or even widespread election fraud anywhere in the USA.
The election-fraud panic is the Big Lie of our time.
It is peddled by people who know better. Their own investigations over decades demonstrate that.
Stop trying to subvert our democracy.

Fascism does not arrive saying “I am fascism.” It arrives saying “law and order,” “border security,” “anti-woke,” “election integrity,” and “national emergency.”
Can I return back to college football?
I only played 2 seasons, should have 2 more eligibility years left….
Can you find me a judge in Louisiana who can see to it that Honey Badger gets to finish his last 2 years of college football?
Who’s going to say no ?????
The legacy of this @POTUS won't be the monuments he builds to himself but the destruction of faith in public institutions for his own power and profit.
He wants to rewrite or erase history because he knows it won't be kind to him.
If taxing unrealized gains is somehow “unfair” for billionaires holding stock, then why are middle class homeowners hit every year with rising property taxes based on the unrealized value of their home?
Most people haven’t sold their house. They haven’t “realized” anything. Yet the tax bill keeps going up anyway.
Follow the money on this one. It is rotten to the core.
The Pentagon just lent $620,000,000 to a tiny North Carolina startup called Vulcan Elements. The company is two years old.
It had fewer than 50 employees.
And three months before the deal was announced, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture firm quietly took a stake in it.
Here is the part the administration tried to bury.
Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was weighing, Vulcan was the only deal initiated by a top White House aide. That aide was Peter Navarro, a close friend of Trump Jr. The order came down to move fast.
One official put it plainly: The call came from the White House. We have to get this done.
Staff worked late nights to push it through in weeks. Deals like this normally take many months of vetting. And when it closed, Vulcan’s valuation jumped from about 200 million dollars to roughly 2 billion.
A windfall for the investors, including the president’s son.
This is public money. Your money.
Routed through the Pentagon to enrich the president’s family and their friends. The Bush administration’s own chief ethics lawyer called it corruption we pay for.
And there is more coming.
A drone parts company Trump Jr. holds a stake in is also under Pentagon review.
This is not a one-off. It is a pattern. The president’s family is treating the federal Treasury like a private bank, and the bill lands on every taxpayer.

1. God literally is nonbinary, transcending gender. No Christian sect denies it, and the Bible speaks of God and refers to God using multiple gender categories.
2. The Bible itself uses at least 6 gender terms within its pages. This isn’t sensational. (No one says there are six sexes)
3. Jesus was culturally a feminist, in the extreme, compared to the patriarchy and misogyny of his day. This isn’t in question.
4. Jesus commanded us to welcome our ethnic neighbors again and again, especially the ones we dislike, disagree with, or whom our neighbors reject. Ever heard of the Samaritans?
5. Christian Nationalism is anti-Christian and an affront to everything Jesus taught about empire and the Kingdom.
Literally NONE of this is sensational.
Charlie Strong, the worst coach in program history, had a winning record over Tech.
The enthusiasm for this rivalry is one sided, because BYU and UCF aren’t moving the needle like they thought it would.
Nor made the playoff 2 of last three years
Nor swept Arkansas-OU and Ags two straight years
Nor won XII title
Nor played in SEC title game - year one in the league
Nor beat Tech by half a hundred and hung 70 on them in two meetings in Austin
Say what you want about Charlie Strong and Tom Herman.. but I know for a fact both of those men would NEVER have ducked an opportunity to play Texas Tech..
Drivers like this are all over Texas roads and TLR (@lawsuitreform) spent all last Session trying to make their companies immune from lawsuits.

Rich Paul says Scottie Pippen was more impactful than MJ 👀
“I think Scottie’s rings are the same as Michael Jordan’s. He was the most impactful player on the team. If you unplug Scottie Pippen off that team, Jordan is 0-6”

I have to say what Marquinhos did following the UEFA Champions League final is some of the best sportsmanship I have seen in a long time. I know #Arsenal man Gabriel is his country man and close friend but to immediately do what he did, I have a huge amount of respect for him 🤝 🇧🇷
