When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain.
A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.”
That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love.
I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.
The Sioux are what early French fur traders called the Lakota.
So, what this orange turd is basically saying is that we Lakota stole the land from ourselves.
Hey Republicans: We found that VOTER FRAUD y'all have been obsessing over.
But it wasn't an undocumented immigrant.
It was former Texas AG Ken Paxton.
So, you'll be holding him accountable, right?🙄
"Kex Paxton is gallivanting throughout Europe with his mistress. His wife is divorcing him on biblical grounds. He's committed voter fraud. He's been impeached by his own party. He's been indicted by his own party. He's had his own lawyer turn on him.
He's just not a good dude, and I think the theme of this week has been that the American people are sick of scumbags. When are Republicans gonna start calling for Ken Paxton to drop out?"
This is Ronaldo Salgado & his beloved father was shot & killed by ICE in Houston after a traffic stop. His father Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was 52 year old Construction Worker who picking up his coworkers. He lived in the U.S for 30 years & was getting his work permit.
Democrat James Talarico, running for the U.S. Senate in Texas, raised $30 million in Q2, beating his own Q1 record of $27 million.
His Republican opponent, Ken Paxton, raised only $9 million.
Rep. Ted Lieu played Pam Bondi video of Trump partying with Epstein and asked if underage girls were present. Bondi snapped: This is ridiculous. There’s no evidence Trump committed a crime. Lieu fired back: I believe you just lied under oath
🚨: The Trump administration fired the scientists who ran the government’s climate website, then shut the site down. The scientists just rebuilt it with their own money and put it back online.
I think we moved on WAY too fast from Ken Paxton letting convicted child molester Adam Hoffman off with a ONE-DAY JAIL SENTENCE.
Hoffman, who admitted to sexually abusing a young boy for YEARS, didn’t even have to register as a sex offender.
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?
Officer Tanya Reeves had been at Mercy General in Denver for nine days after being injured during a call. Her Malinois partner, Scout, refused to eat for the first three days. Her temporary handler said Scout paced constantly and wouldn't settle. The hospital approved a visit after Tanya's captain submitted a formal request. Scout entered the room, moved directly to the bed, and laid himself down along Tanya's uninjured side with complete precision.
Her captain said: "Scout avoided both injury sites without hesitation. That awareness in that moment was something l've never seen before." Tanya said:
"That's when I knew I'd be okay."
James Talarico spent July 4th in Austin at a music festival with Willie Nelson. Ken Paxton spent it in London with his mistress. These two are not the same.
🚨BREAKING: Sen. Ted Cruz just thanked Trump for intervening with FIFA to overturn Folarin Balogun’s red card.
