I hear you, but it feels more like a purity test to me. I don’t agree with my Senators on a number of issues but in the whole believe them to be good people fighting for what is right.

That is my impression of Crockett.

That’s the point. Sinclair wants TENGA and is willing to do whatever it takes to sink Nexstar (no saint in itself) from taking it.

In a Biden/Harris world, the FTC would be very dubious of either merger.

But in the Epstein Administration, the thumb is on the scales for Sinclair.

Sorry, I’m not a one-issue voter. She has been incredible in taking on the rot inside the Epstein Administration; perhaps the best of the House Democrats.

If she is not comfortable going all out against the Netanyahu neo-Kahanist regime, I personally am willing to forgive that.

Quick history lesson to your point:

The tragedy of this is that this is about which corporate giant gets to tell local viewers what they should think.

Nexstar and Tenga are trying to merge, but ultra-conservative Sinclair is trying to upend the deal.

None of these ends are good ones, but some are worse than others.

A serious question from someone who is not a TX voter, but has tracked her work in Congress; why not? Happy to be educated, but what has she done that could be considered dishonest?

Don’t think we disagree. Just wish the actual work done as a MoC mattered as much as what the campaign ads said.

Alas, we are not that nation.

For me, #StarTrek is the roughest ride here, given its particular nature.

But there is plenty of room for debate as to how compromised so much of Americana has now been co-opted by the worst of people.

To paraphrase Mr Spock in Wrath of Khan, “Truly, the worst of times.”

You are talking about her campaign style. I am talking about what she has actually done as a Member of Congress.

Two very different things.

Talarico is a fine candidate, and probably the most “electable” for TX.

But, let’s be honest. Crockett put in the time, energy, and honesty to be the right candidate.

I hope we can as a nation reach a point when women as fine as her are given the respect they are due.

A reminder that regime change was achieved in Afghanistan *twice.*

First the Soviets, where forced communist secularism did free a generation from fundamentalist oppression.

The Taliban came back.

We then tried it, and freed a generation from fundamentalist oppression.

The Taliban came back.

Yep.

The permeation of premillennial Christian fundamentalism into the ranks of our military is frightening.

Those in the military who believe that their actions have a higher authority than the Constitution are far more likely to be willing to turn their weapons on Americans if (when?) called upon.

American families are struggling to afford groceries, health care, and their utility bills. Now Trump’s war of choice in Iran is driving up oil costs too.

The Epstein class's kids won't die in this war. Poor families' kids will.

Billionaires won't suffer. Middle class families will pay more for everything.

And for what? For a different hardline cleric to run Iran than the one who was about to die soon anyway?

Trump is really getting more openly Monty Burns like by the day.

Don’t forget the adjudicated rapist part of his legacy. Should never be left out.

Dear lord. Some DACA recipients have been here since they were toddlers.

Furthering my point…

Republicans are pushing hard for a bill that would disenfranchise trans voters - LGBTQ Nation The Save America Act would force people to produce a birth certificate or passport to register to vote--and explain why their name changed.

“Price stickiness” is simply a euphemism for “Price gouging.”

Let’s remember that Harris made tackling corporate price gouging a big part of her campaign, and the MSM laughed it off.

Now the Epstein Administration could give a 🐀 🍑 about corporate greed other than to abet it.

Despite the Trump administration’s unlawful attempts to block Members of Congress from conducting oversight, a federal court just affirmed in Neguse et al. v. ICE et al. — ONCE AGAIN — our clear right to conduct unannounced oversight visits.

We will keep fighting to ensure the rule of law prevails.

Maj. Gen. Randy Manner (Ret.): "It's a little bit disheartening to hear that the UK govt is arranging transport for the British citizens, whereas here as Americans we feel abandoned. The State Dept is in survival mode because as we know the administration reduced their budget by almost half."

Concept nicely summed up here by J Street cofounder Daniel Levy:

The Netanyahu neo-Kahanist wet dream is happening; destabilizing all “enemy” nations because failed states are too busy eating their own to muster any real threat to you.

The mass suffering is irrelevant. This is the goal of Bibi-style Forever War. 1/2

WHAT'S WORSE, is that the fraud Trump & Vance refer too is long over - already prosecuted in courts - and was run by a typical MAGA Trump loving white girl who railroaded new Somali immigrants to sign stuff they didn't even understand, which is how Aimee Bock embezzled millions from USA COVID money.
