Texas is still red, but running a campaign on James Talarico shares a bank account with his mom, is maybe a vegan, is maybe a little bit gay but also has a hot Latina girlfriend, isn’t really a winning message. Especially when Paxton is so flawed and gave a sweetheart deal to an admitted child molester.
Cost of living. Healthcare. That’s what persuadable voters want to hear about.
Texas redistricts without a vote, Republicans cheer.
Dems in Virginia respond by putting it UP FOR A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, it passes, Republican cry foul.
Oh well. Good job Virginia!!
The ceasefire was a complete fiction. While the White House announced one, missiles were still flying across Israel, Iran, and Lebanon. Reality doesn’t match the headline.
The White House was forced to backtrack today because the proposed “10-point deal” from Iran was a disaster that would let them enrich uranium, fund proxies like Hezbollah, maintain leverage over the Strait of Hormuz, and get sanctions relief. Even top allies like Mark Levin and Larry Kudlow are calling it a disaster.
Let’s be honest about how we got here: there was never an imminent threat to the U.S. Now we’re stuck in it, negotiating from a weakened position.
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
Greg Abbott makes 5.5 million public school kids take a deeply flawed STAAR test in the name of “accountability” while kids in private school who get a taxpayer-funded voucher get a pass.
That’s wrong.
As a mother with a son in public school, when I’m governor I’ll make it right by ending the STAAR test & the voucher scam.
.@JamesTalarico: Can you name a school where it has been confirmed that students are using litter boxes?
Republican: W-well… This bill prevents that from happening
Talarico: Can you name a school where that’s happening?
Republican: N-no I cannot
Talarico: I find it concerning that these types of debunked conspiracy theories are being used by politicians at the highest levels of our government who know that they're incorrect. This whole thing is just weird and honestly a little creepy, and I think that's the point because this is all, in my opinion, a manufactured, debunked smear campaign against our Texas public schools.
These culture war attacks are nothing more than an effort to discredit our public schools to justify defunding those public schools. Texas librarians are not grooming kids, Texas teachers are not indoctrinating kids, and Texas schools are not providing litter boxes. And I think the most disappointing part about all this is that I think you know that.
Great Mr President. Good job.
You’re a billionaire and the American people, not the Iranian people, who voted for you are not billionaires.
As a matter of fact many of them are flat out broke, in all time high credit card debt, can’t afford health insurance or car insurance for that matter, and most young people can’t afford to buy a house or even their rent payment. Your generation, the baby boomers, your families were able to thrive on single incomes and now that’s practically impossible for the vast majority of American families. Let alone, imagine being a single mother.
Most of your baby boomer friends and supporters, I’m sure are cheering you the most.
But us younger generations, Gen X (mine), Millennials, and especially Gen Z hate this fucking bullshit.
Because we all know that in 10 years when the baby boomers that have been in charge of ALL of America’s disastrous decisions are retired or passed away, us younger generations will be left with no social security checks because it will have gone bankrupt, over $50 Trillion in debt, and a dollar that won’t be worth shit.
We, as in YOU and me, campaigned on America First.
And this is NOT it.
Republicans have controlled Texas for nearly 30 years.
If the grid fails… that’s their record.
If property taxes keep rising… that’s their record.
If schools are struggling… that’s their record.
If healthcare is out of reach… that’s their record.
And after three decades, their pitch is still:
“Give us power so we can fix it.”
They don’t need more power.
They’ve had it.
If it’s broken, they own it.
