Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

I am excited to get to work and ensure we elect the right leaders—those who will fight for everyone in Dallas County.

The slow march toward martial law continues.

They will say the Tesla protests justify it. They will say judicial activism justifies it. They will say whatever they think they need to say to keep on board whatever Republicans they think they need to keep on board.

But it was always going to happen.

And here’s a fun fact - once prices are raised, they rarely go down. Just more profits for corporations.

Is America Great Again Yet?

My grocery bill says NO.
My 401k says NO.
We, the People, say NO.

Every time Trump threatens tariffs, prices increase. It does not matter that he’s the most unserious person ever to be in the vicinity of the Oval Office and these tariffs never happen. Business must plan and when tariffs are even THREATENED, prices go UP.

Get ready Chicago….you are MAGA 2.0’s first stop. Pretty brilliant if you think about it. Cause as much chaos as possible in Dem strongholds while making a spectacle his supporters can salivate over.

And so it begins….

The larger issue is there isn’t an insurance company around that will insure new homes in CA post fire. We’ve already seen that in Tahoe post the massive snowfall in 2022. Same in Florida. Without insurance new builds are nearly impossible.

Texas files first lawsuit against out-of-state abortion provider This case sets up a legal battle between Texas’ near-total abortion ban and New York’s shield law that protects doctors from out-of-state prosecution.

This is the Texas the majority of voters wanted so here we go. The only guarantee is that more women will die because the next woman won’t go to the hospital.

Loved seeing my @dallasstonewall.bsky.social Dems tonight! The fight for dignity and justice continues. And we are ready for that fight in 2025! #LetsGo #DallasDems #DCDP #TexasDems #TDP #txlege

Anyway. Back to Texas politics.

Republican Representative Cody Vasut (Brazoria County) filed a bill to make it illegal for women to divorce their husbands on the grounds of impotence. #txlege
