Texas Dems to flee state amid national redistricting battle They will head to Illinois, where Gov. JB Pritzker has expressed sympathy for their plight.

BIG NEWS: Texas Dems plan to flee to Chicago today in order to disrupt redistricting attempts, according to Politico.

I’m trying so hard to understand why the testimony of the victims has never been enough for people.

They’ve spoken. They’ve drowned in sorrow for almost a decade.

What allergy do people have to hearing dozens of women describe the crimes of a monstrous pedophile and his abusive accomplice?

Just so’s we’re all clear, almost 3/4 of everything we buy from Europe is now 15% more expensive.

A bit late to post this, but Last week’s Holy Post episode helped be mitigate my anger *with* my sorrow.

Helpful at this moment, where the right may once again excuse incredible evil to protect one distorted, broken man.

Original too! They *wrote* a shape note tune, harmonized it with fa-sol-la parts, and sang it in the right style!

Oh, and all the bat tours in my city use large infrared flashlights so people can really see the colony under the Congress bridge.

Neat to think the same thing works for the 🐝

Fascinating.

Also, how do you treat your stings?

Just curious cause my gardening habits have caused some close calls with our native bees and big red wasps.

Neither sting often but the wasps really hurt. :/

Congrats to Stephen Colbert for never bending the knee.

It will crack their brains if it isn’t.

The pizzagate weirdos became Q became Epstein conspiracy junkies.

The engine for all of these are child trafficking rings and Epstein is the only one that’s real.

Just grasping here but…

Could this be breaking through because it’s an out? A release from the cognitive bias of the last 10 years, but one that doesn’t force maga conservatives to reckon with all the other things?

If he’s implicated, they might finally feel they can turn on him.

I am honestly shocked.

I thought this was something the base only half believed, something to throw at liberals, to sell merch and churn out moral outrage content.

How do his supporters not know that Trump could be most compromised name in those files?

It’s so glaringly obvious.

“The River House Broke. We Rushed in the River.” The July 4 Texas flooding ripped our Kerr County home from its pillars, pulling us into the water and into the night. Then morning came.

This is beautiful and brutal. I cannot believe how many of them survived yet they still paid a terrible price.

Nearly 1,000 people have come to Kerrville as either first responders to help the search and response teams or volunteer to help those displaced by the flooding, Kerrville Mayor Joe Herring Jr. said.

This will destroy many churches.

If you are inclined to gloat over the death of kids — or the death of ANYBODY — because they live in a place where 6 in 10 voted Trump instead of 5 in 10 or 4 in 10, then I think maybe you’re not here for the hunting.

Still mad that The Last Battle—my least favorite book from the Chronicles of Narnia—ended up being the most political relevant work of fiction from my childhood.

If you have a R senator, seriously call their office tomorrow & say vote against this bill. Say you don’t wan’t three times the budget of NASA going into a sprawling immigrant detention infrastructure. That you don’t want to kick folks you know off Medicaid.

"They say with Trump accusation is confession. Having warned during the 2024 campaign that Joe Biden, then Kamala Harris, would trigger “world war three”, Trump is now offering a perilous test of that proposition." My take. www.ft.com/content/c689...
