as much as i disagree with talarico’s most recent statement about trans athletes/how many sexes there are do NOT let this deter you from voting for him. don’t pull another “i don’t like either candidate” bullshit like in 2024. if you don’t vote for talarico we end up with paxton
Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. Republicans have fought for partisan gerrymanders across the United States of America. And these are the rules that they have set.
And so if the Republican Party wanted to start this, they did this in North Carolina. They drew out three Democratic members of Congress in North Carolina. They did it in Texas.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over, doesn’t fight, and takes everything sitting down. And what they’re mad at right now is that we are here in a new day. And we have been asking the Democratic Party to stand up and fight, and now they did—and now the Republican Party doesn’t like the fact that they are fighting against someone who actually will stand up for the American people.
So if Republicans decide that they would like to revisit a ban on partisan gerrymandering, I welcome them. We have the bill right here to end this all today. But they don’t want to, because they like pursuing and continuing to enact an unfair electoral landscape. And so we have an obligation to defend ourselves.

Ted Cruz was booed off stage by Christians
His response: “If you will not stand with Israel, then I will not stand with you.”
A US senator just publicly pledged allegiance to a foreign country over his own constituents. Clear and loud

Greg Abbott is worried about pronouns. @JamesTalarico is worried about Texans who cannot afford groceries, rent, or health care. That pretty much tells you everything you need to know. One of them is focused on Texas. The other is focused on distractions.
This is the image that will define this war - 165 young Iranian girls, killed while at school, who are mere ‘collateral damage’ to an out of control US-Israeli war machine.
You know things are bad in our country when this many Aggies come out to support a Longhorn for U.S. Senator.
Thank you to the students of Texas A&M University for joining our movement to take back Texas!
It’s important that you understand what happened last night.
Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue.
In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired.
CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.”
In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump.
But censorship always backfires.
Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.
Me tienen que dar varias horas para dejarme entender el tsunami de emociones que estoy sintiendo. Gracias @sanbenito, gracias @ladygaga thank you @NFL, @RocNation and @AppleMusic
The real fear of Zohran Mamdanis critics is not that he fails but that he succeeds. Americans might ask, wait the government can be competent? Why isn’t our city competent?
Oh no! Are you comparing me to a young and energetic executive office holder who already fulfilled multiple campaign promises in just the first 3 weeks? What will I ever do? 🫢
Anyway, your anti-immigrant bullshit doesn’t work when ICE is murdering people.
Good morning to Melania Trump’s homeland of Slovenia and to this amazing magazine cover showing her husband with Hitler moustache made of crude oil. 🇸🇮🇪🇺
Slovenes cooked severely here.
When I was 11, I told myself I’d never go through a school shooting.
When I was 12, I told myself it would never happen again.
Now I’m freshly 20, and I’ve once more been proven wrong.
First Parkland, now Brown University. My safe haven away from my trauma.
