That’s f’d up.

Seriously? So the officials who came out to TX after the flood were just here for photo ops and didn’t even bother to send FEMA funds?

Texas A&M ‘closely monitoring’ situation of PhD student detained by immigration officials Texas A&M doctoral student, researcher and green card holder, Tae Heung “Will” Kim, was detained by immigration officials on July 21.

What does “closely monitoring” mean? Is A&M helping him or not? Also, is moving him around to make it harder on his lawyer? www.kbtx.com/2025/08/09/t...

That’d be a great idea but republicans in office in TX won’t go for it because it’d cost some of them some power.

Supposedly Abbott will appoint replacements (probably technically temporary until a special election is held), although he hasn’t bothered to do that with the current empty seat (empty from Sylvester Turner dying)

They basically finally had him last time and then let him off like idiots

Neck and neck with Abbott for that title as always

I really wish the Texas Republican senators would have joined the Democrats in saying what utter bullshit the proposed districts are & insisted that the speaker not put redistricting before other more important issues #txlege could have tackled. Shouldn’t redistricting now & if so, go by counties.

Interesting if true

Unfortunately Texas doesn’t allow recall of state-level officials. If it did, I’d suggest recalling both Paxton and Abbott.

How do you get Google to stop using it or google’s equivalent (not sure which AI they use) when you type a question in? I want to just do normal searches where Google gives me relevant website addresses, not have it do an AI search that I didn’t ask for.

Wtaf? Can farmers, etc. sue and prevent that from happening?

That didn’t stop Netanyahu from visiting. I think people with war criminal charges can’t go other places like Europe that would arrest them, but they seem to be perfectly safe here.

Clearly ICC warrants mean nothing to the US. The US hosted Netanyahu for a meeting, speech to congress or whatever not that long ago, and he also has an ICC warrant out for his arrest for war crimes.

I’m ready for both of them to be gone. I’ll gladly vote for whoever’s running against them since they’re both terrible.

Very good points

Wtaf?!?

Texas House issues arrest warrants for Democrats who left state to block congressional redistricting The warrants apply only within state lines, making them largely symbolic as most of the legislators in question decamped to Illinois, New York and Massachusetts.

Following up on our last post, things are getting more crazy by the day. Using federal law enforcement to go after your political opponents isn’t democracy. It’s authoritarianism. Call it what it is fascism.

🔥 Our hot take: Dismantling America's immunization safety net — right in the middle of rising bird flu threats, a measles resurgence, and the worst flu season for kids in years — is a *really bad idea*! 🤔

What could possibly go wrong? 🙄

FBI needs to tell Paxton, Abbott, and Cornyn to f*** off and that they won’t be going after the Democrats for leaving the state because it’s not a federal crime. They do not need to waste time on this.

Wtaf? He should absolutely never be hired.

wtf is wrong with this idiot?

Wtaf?

Wtaf?

Wtaf?

Wtaf? I assume @aclu.org is all over this and filing charges, suing people, etc.? Every country that has people held there should also be raising a huge fuss. This is well beyond an international incident.

Doesn’t Paramount own Comedy Central?

After the episode itself, there’s something that says it’s a pro-Trump PSA, 1 of 50. So if you’re looking for that, go to the very very end.

Supposedly skipping a week

Seriously?!?
