It is not atomic weapons that generate #peace, but disarmament. This truth, which seemed clear in past decades when we witnessed a nuclear de-escalation, has been obscured by a race to armament that today frightens and terrifies.
Trump has been pushing to increase military spending by hundreds of billions of dollars.
One of the reasons might be because Trump’s sons are starting to invest in defense companies and stand to make a profit.
Texas has had 5 MAJOR catastrophic infrastructure failures in the last 6 years.
They have been under Republican leadership for DECADES.
November is going our chance to fix Texas.

Today we mourn U.S. Army Private Isabella Gonzales of Carrollton, a daughter of Texas who served with courage and honor. We owe her and all who serve an enduring debt of gratitude. We hold her family in our prayers and will never forget her sacrifice.
“The moral of the story is Stephen Miller is a terrible neighbor, on a mission to take away our first amendment rights.”

Black voters are one of the most vital pillars of the Democratic party, their criticisms of our politicians cannot go unheard or else we lose
Talarico, in my eyes, is beginning to understand this, but many Black voters are still asking him to do more
going after Black voters for their valid criticisms doesn't help and if this is the route you guys want to keep going down, then we are going to be stuck with Senator Ken Paxton and a Talarico 2028 Presidential campaign that will ultimately end with him endorsing Kamala Harris so he can have a shot at being her VP
Thank you, @iangelcarroll, for capturing this on camera. This is the very same question I’ve been asking since the very beginning! #Houston#Townhall with Democratic #Senate Nominee #JamesTalarico.
@keithedwards@DavidPiperVO@theroguednc and to all James Talarico supporters, James has a message for yall that operated in this matter!
Question from @thesouthernsocialite on #Instagram! Thank you to this sister!!!

Anyone who thinks a ground invasion of Iran is a serious possibility needs to watch this...
Matt Bracken is a former Navy SEAL and spec ops veteran, and he just delivered one of the most sobering comparisons I've heard yet:
Kharg Island is the size of Iwo Jima, where the U.S. pounded the island with battleships for WEEKS before landing 70,000 Marines... and still lost 7,000 lives and had 19,000 wounded in a single month.
Qeshm Island is bigger than Okinawa, which took 3 months and cost 12,000 American lives.
Iran has had decades to tunnel these islands, study U.S. tactics, and prepare for precisely this scenario, and unlike Japan in WWII, they have precision missiles that can reach every inch of the Persian Gulf.
"If we went into Iran, I think we will lose everybody we send in, the more we send in, the more we lose, and the Iranians have been very open about saying, come on in, we welcome you."
Matt ended by saying rationality is out the window, and that this started with a February 28th sneak attack, so nothing should be considered off the table.
Great talking to you, @Matt_Bracken48
HORSE RESCUE: 🐴🌧️These horses in the Texas Hill Country, just outside San Antonio, were caught in dangerous floodwaters Wednesday morning. Volunteers with the United Cajun Navy successfully rescued every horse that had become stranded. As more rain and dangerous flooding threaten the region, remember to have a plan to keep every member of your family safe.#TXwx
We are hearing from people across the Hill Country of the immeasurable losses due to the flash flooding. We urge people to follow instructions from local officials, avoid driving into floodwaters, and call 911 if you're in danger.
In the latest Trump grift, Truth Social will now sell faster access to Trump’s market-moving posts to institutional investors willing to pay for it. This is yet another example of Trump's unprecedented exploitation of the presidency for personal financial gain.
EX PARDON ATTORNEY CALLS BLANCHE A LIAR: “2 days after Mr. Blanche was confirmed as Deputy A.G., he fired me. I declined to rubber stamp a political favor for Trump's friend and it cost me my job. He sent 🇺🇸 Marshals to my home to prevent me from speaking with Congress.”
What happened to me in the West Bank was an outrage. But it is nothing compared to what Palestinians face every day.
It is time to share their stories that American politics have silenced and ignored. This is our first video about Palestinians we met.
