Dealing with anxiety is a burden. For the most part I can deal with my anxiety but when I find myself in a situation where my actions cause me to feel helpless my anxiety kicks in. When it kicks in I try to find a solution to the cause of my anxiety.

Update: After being fired by UT Austin, KUT GM Debbie Hiott calls for university to relinquish the station's license.

"A community asset as important as KUT should not be in the hands of an institution that doesn't have any sense of accountability."

The market is starting to get out over its skis.

NYSE Margin debt has jumped up to 53%.

An official sell signal triggers when this measure passes 60% and reverses back below 50%. We're getting close...

It dropped so quickly from the news but we shouldn't forget that Trump outright pardoned a murderous narcotrafficker who used the resources of a foreign government he controlled to smuggle cocaine and other drugs into the United States for years.

(🚨) BREAKING NEWS: As Expected, Sundowning Orange Man-Baby Refuses to Remove Name From Building He Defaced Despite Being Told, Unequivocably, That It Was Illegal; Refusal Is Yet Another Example of Man-Baby Ignoring Courts Under "My Crib, My Toys" Doctrine https://t.co/w4D6ZJvG2S

When someone answers "What do you think triggered the big stock market selloff Friday?"

They will come up with a large list of narratives, none of which mention positioning: People were choking on calls on Thursday, and purging all those calls on Friday.

ex: $SMH (pink) went from top right on this chart on Thursday (calls priced higher than puts in the +90% %'ile), to puts and calls being equally valued (i.e. center of chart).

Then look at how expensive QQQ options were INTO the Friday vs SPY (Y axis). Tech heavy Qs were massively overvalued related to SPY as everyone over-FOMO'd tech.

Positioning needed a reset.

After watching Texas Republicans melt down over their disastrous slate, national losses, and polling that shows growing probability of defeat, y’all better lock in. I have a feeling that whoever gets appointed next won’t be a champion for election integrity or our best interests. Reminder that our current SOS handed all of our data to Trump while other states fought back and prevailed.

It’s straight out of the Trump playbook: install loyalists, undermine trust in elections, attack the process when you don’t like the outcome, and then try to change the rules.#txlege

NEW: @TxDPS says they are making arrests under SB4, Texas’ immigration law from 2023, that creates a state crime for migrants who cross into Texas illegally

On Friday, the 5th Circuit allowed SB4 to take effect while a federal lawsuit plays out

Stephen Miller’s pathological hatred of immigrants made stupidity and cruelty official policy across every part of the federal government.

“Only American citizens and green card holders can be airport janitors” is ridiculous. This woman legally worked there for almost 30 years!

Paxton sucks, but this guy truly is one of the most vile, disgusting humans in Texas representing MAGA politics: cruelty, extremism, division, and zero accountability. Texas Republicans have handed voters one of the most morally bankrupt slates imaginable, built around loyalty to Trump instead of loyalty to Texans.

Now it’s on us to come together, organize, and flip this state by defeating Trump’s enablers at every level so we can finally get back to prioritizing what Texans actually need: strong public schools, affordable healthcare, safe communities, economic opportunity, and leaders with integrity. 💥 @texasdemocrats @dallasdemocrats 👟👟 #txlege

A true class act. This is what being #TeamDemocrat is about, putting people and progress above ego and unifying behind our slate as we head into November.

And I know we haven’t seen the last of Julie. She’s been showing up, fighting for our communities, and doing the work long before she ever held office. Leaders like that don’t disappear, they keep building, organizing, and making a difference.

Onward together, for our community, for our state, for our country. 💙✨ @juliejohnsonTX

So much for “99% of the time”, Trump wants 100% unquestioning loyalty and bootlicking. 🥾💅

Can’t wait for Senator James Talarico. 💥👟💥👟 @jamestalarico #LFG #txlege

Notable that two leading Democratic Senators, Van Hollen and Schatz, have now called for a Democratic foreign policy housecleaning.

My apologies for not sending out reports for the Republican Runoff. Last week was a doozy so this fell to the wayside. Attached is who voted during early voting. Enjoy. #txlege

Meanwhile, Texas handed over our voter information without hesitation, raising serious concerns about privacy, transparency, and the protection of Texans’ personal data. #txlege #hd115

One of the VERY FIRST things done after the Constitutional Convention in 1787 was to have the text of the new Constitution translated into Dutch and German, which were at the time the two largest non-English language spoken in the United States.

For years, local prosecutors complained about ICE deporting people during their criminal trials. This problem has only gotten worse during the mass deportation push, where ICE's desire to clear out a detention bed overrides prosecutors' desires to take a defendant to trial.

@timeforjeffrey How is the running back situation

A Secret Service officer fired four times at Cole Allen, and in the direction of other security personnel, as he charged a security checkpoint, a Post review of surveillance footage has found. There was no indication on the footage that Allen fired his weapon:

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

The ultimate goal of the Trump admin is to eliminate all traces of due process and replace the immigration court system with an assembly line of rubber-stamping “deportation judges” who are no better than a kangaroo court.
