Yes, that's a 'plastic modular bricks' mask. (she/her)

Hello, good-bye, still on blue-sky

Kevin McCarthy spoke to the Republicans behind closed doors after he lost and referred to running the House in a bipartisan manner as "selling his soul to the Democrats," a thing he said he'd rather lose his job than do. Can we really not do better?

[Aaron Fritschner @Fritschner]

A speakership founded upon Democrats' trust that McCarthy will lie to his own guys and not to us is not rational, folks! It isn't sustainable or reasonable and it's no way to run the House. We needed him to give us any reason to help him and he very intentionally did not do so.

[Aaron Fritschner @Fritschner]

Pretty evident people don't understand a key piece of House Dems' thinking on McCarthy and governance of the House. The idea that we acted out of schadenfreude or pique with no thought to the legislative outlook is, of course, silly nonsense. Here's what the takes are missing-

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Contrary to how McCarthy’s defenders are behaving, men failing up is not a Constitutionally protected right.

The man made risky decisions and faced the natural consequences of them. I am not his mom, and my job is not to put pool noodles around hard corners for Republicans.

Question: Are Hunter and Trump both subject to the law?

Democrats: 👍
Republicans: 😬

Lt Gov @DanPatrick orders the Senate to deliberate until at least 8pm tonight and to continue that schedule through the weekend. If there is no verdict by late Sunday, Patrick *may* order senators to sequester inside the Texas Capitol until they have one #TxLege

[Scott Braddock @scottbraddock]

Buzbee is imperiling all of Patrick & Abbott's legislative agenda going forward by attacking the speaker in such personal terms. The House & Senate have been at odds enough without the possibility of the Senate siding with an attorney screaming about the speaker being a drunk.

Today I learned ✨HOAs are subject to open records requests under TX Property Code §209.005✨

I only learned that because my HOA hired @WinsteadPC to force removal of my front garden

So I filed this request (redacted for PII) and plan to publish my findings for the neighbors

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen

What a 6-year stretch it's been for the Gulf Coast: 8 major hurricane landfalls.

(Several other Cat 1 and 2 landfalls as well in that time.)

I don't think there is such a thing as "pre-evangelization," as Barron suggests. That sounds more like a superficial friendliness to me. The prelude to the sales pitch and enrolment in the workshop series. What we need to do is take the risk of engaging in genuine listening.

[D.W. Lafferty 🇨🇦 @rightscholar]

It is significant that @BishopBarron does not address @austeni's key statement: "It is Christ (the Holy Spirit) who converts, not the power of our persuasion; and we facilitate that encounter whenever we listen respectfully to the heart of another who thinks very differently."

ELON PLAN B: “Since normal humans keep blocking people who pay $8, you may now hide your check when posting racist replies.”
