He lives, and must run for senate, in Texas.
T E X A S… where, thoughtful, rational, talented politicians go to get their asses kicked in senate races by gutless, soulless, shameless twats like Rafael Cruz and John Conryn.

Yeah. I’ll never call him Ted.

Donald Trump is a threat to democracy around the world.

β€˜The trend is irreversible’: has Romania shattered the link between economic growth and high emissions? Emissions have plunged 75% since communist times in the birthplace of big oil – but for some the transition has been brutal

Romania has decoupled economic growth from pollution faster than anywhere else in EU. Its net greenhouse gas emissions intensity fell 88% between 1990 & 2023, so each euro’s worth of economic activity heats planet 10 times less. Emissions have plunged by 75%. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Agents Suspended After Their Story of Shooting an Immigrant Falls Apart

Over and over again, we have seen DHS's playbook: shoot, lie, criminalize. And every time, they are caught red-handed in their deception.

DHS was built as a weapon to be pointed at anyone the government considers the public enemy or a "domestic terrorist." We have to dismantle DHS.

Standing up to racism shouldn’t be a partisan issue.

Trump posts an objectively racist video, and MAGA is silent.

It’s clear who this President is. And it should disgust all of us.
