Disgraced Texas AG Paxton Drums Up Anti-Trans “Commerce” Charges Against Adult Swim League The adult-only amateur swim league caved under Attorney General Ken Paxton’s legal threats, and got sued anyways.

All this Lisa Murkowski discourse just makes me hungry for one solid candidate willing to go up against Sullivan in 2026.

One real person. Someone who can cling to integrity and humanity and truth.

You want the Murkowskiverse to shake? Send Dan packing.

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

More people need to know about the Pazyryk Swan, 2400 years old, from the Siberian horse-riding pastoral people. It is felted, c30cm. Because of the permafrost burials so much amazing felt, appliqué, embroidery and textile art has survived. But I just love that a stuffie has survived ❤️
