PHD in Dad Humor, Peanut Butter Enthusiast, Basset Hound super fan, and a relatively successful jurist who is a fan of democracy and agitating the opposition.
If NCAA appeal(s) fail, despite all their bluster & threats, no Big 12 school will boycott playing Texas Tech because it would cost league/schools financially by not playing. Also is every team going to forfeit, allowing Tech a free pass to playoffs? Ugh, no freaking way
The details about the Tate brothers in this @newyorker profile are as sick as anything you will ever read. They are rapists, pornographers, traffickers - and heroes to the "conservative" MAGA movement

Ken Paxton’s own lawyer just endorsed our campaign for the US Senate.
We’re building a big tent to take on this corrupt system that Ken Paxton embodies.
We've got a real set of treats coming up at @TheArgumentMag.
Tomorrow: state-level generic ballot and approval estimates among 2026 likely voters.
This week: Our new poll on how voters feel about AI — n=3,000 (!)
Next week: our @SplitTicket_ midterms House/Senate models!
So this happened on June 5th and aired this morning on Meet the Press.
As we used to say back on the ranch I grew up on, the guy is all hat and no cattle.
He complains without facts.
He insults because he’s uninformed and a bully.
He storms off the set because he’s a very weak man.
America, we deserve better. Vote in the midterms. Full stop.
NEWS — Ken Paxton’s impeachment defense lawyer is endorsing Democrats James Talarico for Senate, @NOTUSreports scoops
Dan Cogdell, who represented Paxton in his 2023 impeachment trial and several personal cases, told NOTUS in a statement that Paxton “has lost sight of his core mission”
Cogdell is well-connected in Texas GOP politics, and has represented top state party officials. He donated $6,500 to Paxton’s campaign, contributing as recently as last year
But he’s been critical of Trump. A clip of him calling Trump the “greatest threat” to democracy was even turned into an NRSC attack ad last year. It’s been scrubbed from the web.
Talarico said in statement “if you voted for John Cornyn, you have a place in this campaign.”

When Democrats tried in 2020 to get Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin to count early votes early—like Florida—Republicans killed the bills so Trump could win day-of-voting tallies and try to throw out mail in ballots. It’s a scam for people Trump thinks are stupid.
Little Toni’s in North Hollywood CA if anyone was curious! They were so great to us for the day we filmed there. Fun fact: it was the last day of filming!
Trump's 0 for 4 on his midterm report card.
He promised to make the economy bigger and better, lower prices immediately, end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours, and stop endless wars. He's delivered on none of it.
It’s repetitive but still vital to say. There is NOTHING to Trump’s vote fraud assertions. There was nothing to them in 2016. Nothing in 2020. Nothing in 2024. Nothing in 2026. NOTHING AT ALL.
Maybe because he literally just put an entirely unqualified political hatchet man in charge of the DNI — while we’re at war — and the only reason he could give was that he would look into the “stolen” election bullshit? He’s making hugely important decisions based on a lie. That seems worth paying attention to. He also tried to set up a compensation fund for people who, inspired by his promulgation of that lie, laid siege to the Capitol. Oh and the only legislation he cares about is all wrapped up in his delusions about how elections are stolen. I can keep coming up with reasons. But the fact that the president still thinks his lie should drive policy and personnel (several J6ers work in the administration) that makes it relevant, imho.
