THC is now virtually banned in Texas.
Big Beer and Big Tobacco bought politicians to ban Delta-8 — because it's a threat to their profits.
That is corruption.
@AiG Transgender people have been documented in societies for millennia - the only difference is that in the modern world science has caught up and is able to allow these individuals to live authentically.
Austin police officer Daniel Kessler was feverishly texting his girlfriend before he slammed into two other vehicles, leaving a driver and passenger with severe injuries. https://t.co/7xpRzmYp4j https://t.co/KTmaolbt43
.@JamesTalarico: The only thing worse than Ken Paxton's personal cheating is his public cheating.
Today is the the anniversary of his famous mugshot — that was because he was indicted for investment fraud. What's fascinating about that story is that he was scamming his own friends. He convinced his own friends to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars into a tech company, and then he didn't tell them that he was getting a commission off those investments.
If Ken Paxton is willing to scam his own friends for a quick buck, what makes you think he's not going to scam you in the United States Senate?
.@JamesTalarico on Texas officially banning THC:
“This bill is insane.
Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. Texans will still use THC — but instead of getting it safely from a local small business, they’ll go back to getting it from the black market. From the drug cartels.
This ban is a gift to the cartels.
We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst.
Instead of fully funding our schools, guaranteeing healthcare, or making childcare more affordable — this Legislature is focused on banning a product that gives people a little peace.
We’re making people’s lives harder, not easier.
I want to leave you with a quote: ‘It is time to end needless arrests and incarcerations of adults for small amounts of marijuana for personal use.’ That wasn’t a Democrat. That was President Donald Trump.
To my Republican colleagues, I’m asking you to oppose the cartels, stand with President Trump, and vote no on this insane bill.”
@ScottJenningsKY I can’t imagine Texans want to be represented by a person whose own party impeached him for criminal behavior and who is an adulterer who lets convicted pedophiles walk free.
What the fuck is the matter with these people? "Infection is the best protection"? Tell that to victims of the Black Plague. Is there no end to how far Republicans will go to try to discredit educated people cause they're jealous of those whose IQ is greater than their shoe size?
James Talarico: “You may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you. Your boss at work, he cares about politics. Your landlord, he cares about politics. Your insurance company cares about politics. Until you care about politics, they’re gonna keep using the political system to screw you over”
BREAKING: Nurses at Mitch McConnell's hospital bedside say they've yelled into his ears, "There's a Black president trying to fill a Supreme Court vacancy!" and he didn't stir at all.
