Dems know how to pivot during interviews at least. If they pivot to legislative priorities first it's weak.

Internalize pivot to blame Trump, Republicans, their wildest supporters, then back to lack of governance and legislative solutions. Corruption & malfeasance front & center.

ILLINOIS GOV. J.B. PRITZKER (D): "If they're gonna cheat, then all of us have to take a hard look at what the effect of that cheating is on democracy . And that means we've all got to stand up and do the right thing. So as far as I'm concerned, everything is on the table."

E.P.A. Moves to Cancel $7 Billion in Grants for Solar Energy

The Trump administration is moving to terminate grants that help low- and moderate-income families put solar panels on their homes.

This administration is trying to ban clean energy and force us all to use fossil fuels.

We're all going to pay the price — in higher costs and in a dirtier planet.

F.B.I. Is Asked to Arrest Texas Democrats in Battle Over House Seats

This is a demand for unconstitutional, arbitrary power. There is no offense against the United States here. The FBI has no role to assist the State of Texas in becoming an authoritarian enclave.

Trump is trying to kill solar power—here's how to fight back Rooftop solar is a clean power miracle. Why are we killing it with red tape?

Cornyn Urges FBI to Investigate & Hold Fleeing Texas Legislators Accountable AUSTIN – U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) sent a letter to Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel encouraging federal cooperation with Texas Governor Greg Abbott and state law enforcement to investigate potential criminal acts, including bribery, and hold accountable legislators who have fled the state in a shameful attempt to stall the legislative process in the Texas House of Representatives: “As a maneuver to avoid legislative responsibilities, on August 3, 2025, many members in the Texas House of Representatives absconded from the state. Their stated goal was to prevent the legislature from properly meeting, in violation of their oath of office,” wrote Sen. Cornyn. “Out-of-state actors have made public comments about protecting the Texas legislators who are currently hiding out of state from any accountability for their actions. I request the FBI’s assistance, as federal resources are necessary to locate the out-of-state Texas legislators who are potentially acting in violation of the law. The FBI has tools to aid state law enforcement when parties cross state lines, including to avoid testifying or fleeing a scene of a crime. Specifically, I am concerned that legislators who solicited or accepted funds to aid in their efforts to avoid their legislative duties may be guilty of bribery or other public corruption offenses,” he continued. “Governor Abbott and Texas state law enforcement officers are doing what they can within the confines of the law, but federal help may be necessary. These legislators have committed potential criminal acts in their rush to avoid their constitutional responsibilities and must be fully investigated and held accountable. I urge you to work with Texas public officials to provide them the support they need,” he concluded.

John Cornyn, who is running against Attorney General Ken Paxton in a cockfight of Republican primary, wants FBI Director Kash Patel to investigate Texas Democrats who left for Illinois for "potential criminal acts, including bribery."

5 Colorado sheriff’s deputies disciplined in wake of traffic stop that led to U. student’s ICE arrest The Mesa County Sheriff’s Office has punished five deputies in the wake of a June traffic stop in western Colorado that led to the immigration arrest of a 19-year-old University of Utah student.

A Republican sheriff in western Colorado punished several deputies after they alerted ICE on a Signal chat about a young woman who'd overstayed her visa.

She was detained for 2 weeks and now is out on bond.

State law prohibits inquiring about immigration status

She handed Trump her purse and said to herself, "This is a man I can trust with my money."

"Oh, who am I kidding? I trusted him with their money!"

Makes you wonder what kind of errors they make on their voluminous shadow docket. Oh yeah, who knows. Reasoned arguments are so anti-Christian. No need to write anything down.
