Paxton is now seeking a court order to declare the over 50 lawmakers’ seats vacant.

@marcelias.bsky.social tell me this isn’t legal so I don’t freak out.

The labor market just hit a wall. Here's what experts say it means for the economy and your job. Friday's unexpectedly weak jobs report signals that some sectors are cutting back on hiring amid economic uncertainty.

β€œFriday's disappointing July employment report delivered a reality check on the U.S. economy, with the data suggesting the job market is wobbling from the uncertainty of on-again, off-again tariffs.”

Berman: Was the President right about the polling?

Enten: No. If we are comparing him to other presidents at this point in their presidencies, he is the second lowest on record compared only to himself.

This feels like a silly false dichotomy. Of course we're building renewables to displace fossil fuel consumption. And it's working in many OECD economies, getting there in others!

With cheap RE we finally have a great answer to "hur hur if we close the coal plants what does your computer run on".

Republican Rep. Mike Flood’s town hall was a dumpster fire: for him.

β€œThere’s been a lot of misinformation out there about the bill,” Flood said.

Yes, there has. From you and Republicans trying to hoodwink us. The crowd yelled, β€œVote him out!” as the hour-and-a-half meeting ended.

Denying the legitimacy of your political opponents is dangerous, authoritarian behavior. All the more so when they are duly elected legislative representatives of the people, exercising the prerogatives of their legislative position.

I enjoyed chatting with Stephen Colbert on "The Late Show."

My thoughts on how we save our democracy are the same today as when we last spoke on "The Colbert Report" in 2010.

We must get big money out of politics.

NEVER FORGET:As the price of food continues to climb, those of us on SNAP will have reduced monthly support due to the BBB, people will die of malnutrition and hunger. Food banks are already overrun with people who are starving.

Could Pam Bondi have prosecuted Jeffrey Epstein when she was Florida's top legal officer? Pam Bondi took office as Florida's first female attorney general in 2011. Epstein had gotten out of the Palm Beach County Jail two years earlier.

Why didn't Pam Bondi Prosecute Epstein?

Could Pam Bondi have prosecuted Jeffrey Epstein as Florida AG?

Legally, yes, she could have, legal experts say.

The bigger question is why she never felt compelled to do so.
