Person Experiencing Texan-ness 🌮

@mattyglesias.bsky.social I think Matt Y is pretty close to going maga lol. Today he said his life was made "meaningfully worse by the actions of progressives"

When pushed he mentions plastic straws, water efficient appliances and vaguely alludes to a crime wave.

Have you and Sarah considered this take by Kavanaugh is legendarily ignorant?

My Catholic faith has been central to my personal and political values. I do not wear my faith on my sleeve and rarely reference it, but I do what I can to follow the lesson of Matthew 25:40, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did to one of the least of my brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."

Today's resolution honoring the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk memorializes him as someone who espouses "truth," including "biblical truth." The biblical truth ingrained in me does not promote bigotry or divisiveness that motivates hate, and I have found it deeply troubling to see millions in our country use "faith" to justify attacks on fellow Americans. I cannot attach my name to this resolution.

I have always condemned political violence in every and all forms, and I always will. When Charlie Kirk was shot last week - before we knew whether he would survive - I offered prayers for him and his family. Three months ago, and again yesterday, I signed on to resolutions condemning political violence of any kind. My own community on August 3, 2019, was tragically impacted by political, domestic violence, and on January 6, 2021, I was trapped in the House gallery as insurrectionists waving Trump and MAGA flags stormed the Capitol, assaulted police, and screamed "Hang Mike Pence." There is no world that exists where I would applaud, celebrate, or condone violence, certainly not as an answer to our differences.

I offer my sincerest condolences to Charlie Kirk's loved ones and recognize his assassination as the horrific tragedy it is. I did not agree with his characterization of our fellow Americans, people who were not like him, but I supported his right to speak freely and openly, a right guaranteed by the First Amendment. I will continue to unequivocally condemn Charlie Kirk's assassination, but in this moment where dissent is punished and voices of opposition are threatened, I cannot support a resolution that lionizes his words of hate. My own silence or compliance is not an option for me.

It's a mature game, which is what the prior commenter mentioned

I haven't seen that. I recently bought clair obscur with a credit card

Don't they typically only deny payment to adult games with incest, non consent themes and other extreme kinks?

@veronicaescobartx.bsky.social thank you for voting to move forward with impeachment.

$27B totally wasted

Introduce an amendment proposing making social security cards photo enhanced and making that an acceptable form of proof of citizenship. See what Rs do. I'm curious.

Glad you're my rep

ICE is the modern day Gestapo.

Along with my Democratic colleagues on the Appropritations Committee, I'm urging Leader Schumer and Senate Democrats to stand with House Democrats and the American people, reject this continuing resolution, and force House and Senate Republicans back to the negotiating table.

The federal government plans to appoint an "affordability czar," as well as create an affordability council, to address high prices in the U.S., Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said

Can you imagine if Obama had appointed a Federal government affordability council to address high prices? Lol

You're doing great work, Representative Escobar. thank you

I thought dei hires were bad?

It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for him

It's odd for a president to implement policies that lead to:

- Higher Unemployment: The administration has initiated mass layoffs of federal employees¹.

It’s very funny the degree to which Dems tried to contort themselves into avoiding any taxes on people making <400k meanwhile Republicans come in and immediately slam the “largest regressive tax in dollar terms ever” button

Did Bibi say thank you?

I would say your hair is 🔥 colored.

New: The second Elon/Threat email just landed in inboxes. "Going forward, please complete the above task each week by Mondays at 11:59 PMET."

"If all of your activities are classified or sensitive, please write 'All of my activities are sensitive'"

Basically no one is paying attention to Elon talking.

Aren't there real questions about whether or not it can pass the Senate? Josh Hawley has expressed opposition to the Medicaid cuts. Collins, Murkowski, Hawley and one other Republican could tank that.

FOX: But fair to say Russia attacked unprovoked into Ukraine?

PETE HEGSETH: Fair to say it's a very complicated situation.
