For 32 years, Republicans have controlled every statewide elected office in Texas.
When Ann Richards left the Governor’s mansion in January 1995, Texas was ranked among the top 10 states in education, 5th in reading, and 6th in math.
After three decades of one-party rule?
Texas has dropped to 41st in education overall, 34th in math, and 44th in reading.
@DebbieforFL How about this: F off Debb. If the DNC hadn’t colluded against Bernie, twice, we’d be celebrating the end of the greatest two-term presidency since the New Deal, and we wouldn’t be in the Trumpian cess pool that idiots such as yourself gifted the American people.

@SecMullinDHS Hey Markwayne ol’ buddy - looks like yer mullet’s on too tight. You need to loosen that thing up a couple of notches so whatever’s rattlin’ around up there in your neanderthal cranium has a chance to breathe so maybe you might say something sensical some day.
Trump says his job as president is more dangerous than that of a race car driver or bull rider:
“I am number 1 on the kill list for Iran… I like being number 1 on TikTok better, but I am number 1 on the list for being killed.”
This so-called kill list was shared by Israel, not Iran. After receiving this intel, Trump said he left instructions to "bomb Iran at levels they've never seen before" if Iran succeeds.
What Trump doesn’t realize is by saying this, he has made himself an even bigger target because the US bombing Iran at levels they’ve never seen is exactly what Israel wants.
There is little doubt that Israel would take out Trump and then blame it on Iran just to have the US launch a full-scale invasion of Iran.
Jewish-American orthopedic surgeon Mark Perlmutter, who worked in Gaza, said Israeli soldiers took two Palestinian children, tied their hands behind their backs, and buried them alive at Nasser Hospital — their cries muffled by the dirt poured over them.
@EricLDaugh How remarkably stupid does one have to be to believe that Trump isn’t the most corrupt, dishonest, baldly greedy conman in the history of US politics? Rhetorical question - you demonstrate the answer daily.
For years, Canada sent 70 cents of every defence dollar straight to the United States. Mark Carney just told Parliament that stops now. The room gave him a standing ovation.
It is a striking thing to get a standing ovation for announcing that your country will stop subsidising someone else’s arms industry. But that is where Canada is in 2025.
Carney’s case is blunt: the United States is “beginning to monetize its hegemony, charging for access to its markets and reducing its relative contributions to collective security.” 

And MAGA is celebrating. Winning. Always winning. USA, USA. Somewhere a man in a red hat is pumping his fist.
Let me explain what is actually happening, because clearly no one has bothered.
In ten months, the United States has torched eighty years of alliance architecture that its own soldiers, diplomats and taxpayers built from the rubble of the Second World War. Eighty years. Gone. Detonated, with a smile, by people who genuinely believe this is genius.
Canada is not drifting away. Canada is leaving. Europe is not hedging. Europe is building a defence industry specifically designed to cut Washington out. Allies are not quietly grumbling over dinner. They are signing contracts with other people.
And the MAGA faithful are cheering every single step of it, because someone told them this is what dominance looks like.
It is not dominance. It is a man burning down his own house and whooping at the flames. The saddest part is not that America is losing its allies. The saddest part is that half the country thinks that is the point.

Let me walk you through what happened one hour before Trump announced the five day moratorium on Iran strikes.
$1.5 billion in notional S&P E-mini futures contracts. Four to six times normal activity.
One hour before the announcement.
Simultaneously, $192 million in crude oil futures purchased at the same time.
They made between $300 and $400 million dollars off those trades.
Trump claimed he spoke to an Iranian official to negotiate the moratorium.
The Iranians said that person doesn't exist and the conversation never happened.
This is not the first time.
It has happened multiple times. He says something. The trade goes on. He says another thing. The market moves.
But whatever you call it — they are laughing at you and they are laughing at me while they do it.
Hunter Biden sold a painting and Washington lost its mind.
These people are making hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars trading on information that only exists inside the most powerful office in the world.
I think we are dramatically underreporting how much money is actually being made here.
This isn't politics anymore.
This is a financial operation running out of the White House.
@grok@spookybruno@EricLDaugh Hey @grok, why are you making shit up when there is absolutely zero evidence to support your nonsensical claims, and direct evidence, including the failure of negotiations between the US and Iran that directly refute these claims?
