Eight months ago, Rep. Sylvester Turner D-TX died. His seat in the U.S. House is still vacant. On Tuesday, two Dems advanced to a runoff for that seat. When is the runoff?? We don't know.
That runoff date still must be set by Gov. Greg Abbott.
It's been 44 days since Arizonans elected Adelita Grijalva, but more than 800,000 people still don't have representation in the House because Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear her in.
Do. Your. Job.
@realAlexKolodin You are an election specialist and you don't know that this election is MAIL IN ONLY in Pima County? Maybe get the facts before tweeting.
@TomAgitator@RepAndyBiggsAZ Huh, the picture on the left looks like Jesus' plan for the world. The one on the right looks like what the GOP is planning for the 99%.
The real issue isn’t left vs right.
It’s not white vs black.
It’s not citizen vs immigrant.
It’s not gay vs straight.
The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.
In light of today’s shooting death of Charlie Kirk, it’s worth remembering that while Paul Pelosi was lying in the ICU with a fractured skull, vile ghouls like Don Jr. thought it was comedy content. These people don’t just enable violence - they celebrate it.
Sad to see so many people lionizing Charlie Kirk as a devoted, loving Christian.
His murder is despicable and vile, but that doesn’t erase the incalculable harm he has done to people of color, to women, to immigrants, to queer people, as well as to the minds of young white men.
He is the victim of unfathomable violence, he is a father and husband taken too soon by an inhumane act of hatred, he is someone who did not deserve to die, but he is not a Christian martyr.
Here’s a story that’s becoming all too common: federal immigration agents using racial and ethnic profiling as a rationale for stopping, questioning and detaining U.S. citizens who they suspect are undocumented.

@SecKennedy Um - we had MILLIONS of people get these vaccines. You only do placebo-controlled trials when you want to generalize results to the broader population. If the population has already had the shots, then you have your answer. Trials are a waste of time and money at this point.
Why is it that 26 women can credibly accuse Trump of sexual misconduct and nobody seems to care.
But if sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell says Trump’s a “gentleman,” we’re expected to accept that like it’s the word of God?
Now that trump has D.C. locked down and is getting set to send the military to cities he doesn't like. I'd like to point out that the 2nd amendment bros are nowhere to be found.
How many times? How many stupid arguments? Some chowderhead with his chest puffed out. "We need our guns in case the government gets tyrannical....shall not infringe... we the people... blah blah blah."
Cowards. The biggest group of hypocrite cowards. Gun companies selling these middle aged men a rambo fantasy that one day they'll have to save the country from a tyrannical government. They bought their camouflage outfits. All their gear, merchandise, 1776 stickers. They even got their own coffee line. Compensating for a small dick and shit personality.
But that's all it was. Marketing. To sell these ultimate dildos a fantasy. Because let's be real. The only time the 2nd amendment crowd speaks out is when a child gets shot in school and they think someone might try to pass a gun law. That's it.
BREAKING: JD Vance lies that there was a negotiated end to the Second World War. With who? Hitler killed himself in the bunker. Mussolini was overthrown. Two atomic bombs were dropped on Japan. Germany and Japan were occupied by allied forces. Read a book.
