After violating the by-laws of the Texas House Republican Caucus, the Republican Party platform, and betraying millions of voters who voted for GOP control of the House, @Burrows4TX now appears to be leading his own supporters into a primary fight against his own party and President @realDonaldTrump. #TXLege
@AngryTexian@CaryCheshireTX In short, Cook won the nomination of the caucus, Burrows claims to have enough dems on board to back him that he can win with a handful of R’s.
@AngryTexian@CaryCheshireTX Correct. He won the nomination of the caucus. But all 150 reps get to vote in the actual vote on the floor. Rep. Burrows is claiming there are enough R turncoats and dems to win him the speakership, republican caucus nominations be damned.
🚨 BREAKING: Speaker Mike Johnson, backed by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, is plotting to eliminate 75% of federal government agencies.
The current 428 agencies would be slashed to just 99.
This isn’t “small government” – it’s dismantling government.
As a former CIA case officer, I saw the men and women of the U.S. intelligence community put their lives on the line every day for this country — and I am appalled at the nomination of Tulsi Gabbard to lead DNI. (1/3)
@kickbackmorales@Kane_McCutchen6 He wasn’t great, true. But he was solid against Houston and TB. And he was solid after the trade deadline. If we hadn’t picked him up, we were not making the playoffs.
So when Trump fires all non-partisan career professionals in government, replaces them with radical loyalists within every nook and cranny of the US government, and adds radical judges everywhere.
And every one of you that voted for him finally wake up from your fucked up fantasy just like the folks that woke up after 4 years of the last shit show, only to realize it’s much much worse, and much more permanent, this time.
When the cancer you caused has infected every bit of the American system and it can’t be unwound for a lifetime.
What then?
Do you beg this country for forgiveness for choosing fascism because you were conned into believing your eggs are too expensive because of Joe Biden?
You just put Steve Bannon in charge of American policy.
You just put Michael Flynn in charge of our military.
You just put Alex Jones in charge of media and propaganda.
You just put Stephen Miller in charge of immigration policy.
You just put batshit crazy RFK Jr. in charge of health policy.
You just killed free public education and privatized schools, which you will have to pay for.
You just sealed the deal on a national abortion ban, because you’re demented if you think it’s not coming.
You just radicalized the Supreme Court for a generation.
You just made women less safe and less free.
You just made this country an oligarchy with the billionaires quite literally in charge now.
You just put in office the one person that believes a president is a king, with the fucking Supreme Court ruling to prove it in his back pocket!
You just ushered in Fascism.
Because your cereal costs more.
Congratulations.
It just doesn’t make sense. So many republicans voted democrat. Kamala had more people at her rallies. She won the debate. We had all the professional analytical predictions on our side. I genuinely don’t understand how this happened.
“Daddy?”
Yes Johnny?
“King Trump deported my friends, closed my school, forced me to work in a factory and let mommy die when she was pregnant with my little sister, so why did you vote for him?”
“Because the price of eggs was too high, son.”
