The same people who i used to fight with in the GOP, who wanted to withdraw American troops from everywhere, are now the ones justifying the murder of two survivors.
It’s almost like…. It was never about that
I've known and/or been familiar with nearly every member of TX Cong Del since about 1986. A retirement from either party is usually bad for TX - we lose seniority & experience. Not here. Nehls is a clueless waste of space. His retirement is addition by subtraction.

Pretty chilling comments from the guy Trump admires, coddles, and fronts.

It's easy to dismiss @BoFrenchTX as a special case of hateful moron TX R. Don't. The "hateful moron" view is correct. The "special case" is not. Bo's extreme & destructive idiocy is the beating heart of TX R activists. R leaders allow & enable the hate.

Witkoff is not buying the Russian narrative. He is selling it.
While you're gulping hard & digging deep to pay for Thanksgiving groceries, Greg Abbott is using $2.6M in taxpayer funds to "remodel" his already very elaborate Governor's office.

Excellent post by @eklib in @TexasTribune laying out @GregAbbott_TX's clear discriminatory intent and @PhilKingTX
being exposed as a straight up liar in TX redistricting ruling.

In headline after headline & lede after lede, the media is helping TX R's by calling TX redistricting map "partisan gerrymandering". The most important element of the map is overt "racial gerrymandering." Partisan gains are realized ONLY by undermining minority voting strength.
Three paragraphs from @HoustonChron's @ChronFalkenberg
accurately describes what @GregAbbott_TX & a generation of one-party Republican rule have done to Texas.

.@skyeperryman calls out Greg Abbott & tears down his bogus claims against TX Dems. A must read

Stunning cowardice and voter betrayal by TX Congressional Republicans. I've never seen elected from Texas so pathetically submit to Washington political operatives to allow their own state & constituents to be so badly abused.
www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/tex...
No surprise that @GregAbbott_TX operatives & TX R legislators lie under oath? They're the same cowards already betraying families w/ kids killed or missing after raging floods to bend over for Donald Trump & more grossly gerrymander TX Cong districts. Cowards are usually liars too.
.@repmarcveasey.bsky.social has the fire, courage, & character Texans expect from leaders but is entirely absent among TX Congressional & Legislative Rs. A mid-decade redraw is an expression of profound cowardice. They are bending over for Trump to betray their own constituents. Pathetic.
It's not just that @DanPatrick is wrong with his hysterics on THC, it's that he is ridiculous and makes agreement on serious and constructive policy harder to reach.
Tarrant Co, TX is a key political battleground. One reason is the desire of mainstream and honorable voters to unload MAGA Republican County Judge Tim O'Hare, who wears racism like a badge of honor and revels in the pain he brings to Tarrant County.

@JohnCornyn has had many cowardly moments, especially over the last several weeks as he surrendered his dignity to grovel for a Trump belly rub. But Cornyn's failure now to condemn the physical abuse & arrest of Sen Padilla is damning.

For God's sake, Trump pre-screened soldiers before they could be seated. Pathetically weak, embarrassingly insecure, profoundly incompetent.

Stop short-handing Republicans as "conservatives." Trump & the politicians following/enabling him are imposing oppressive, fascistic & violent big government control. Calling Rs "conservatives" is lazy, inaccurate, enabling & even dangerous.

Extreme racial discrimination in Tarrant Co, TX. A racist Co Judge & 2 mindless minions have imposed a racially gerrymandered map that grossly packs & cracks minority voters to destroy their voting strength. Read the Facts section starting at page 6.

If you like extreme & destructive politics that gut schools, hurt families, reward billionaires, & pit Texans against each other, you may be sad to see Tony Tinderholt leave the St House. For the rest of us, enjoy retirement, Tony. Please stay retired.

It's always been true, but now more than ever - It's not just the stock market. Our economy overall and the aspects that help middle-class Americans most thrive when Trump economic proposals are pushed back or reversed.

Former Congressman Martin Frost (D-Texas) issued the following statement about the passing of the late Congressman Charlie Rangel (D-New York):
@lonestarproject.net
Trump's "motor runs on toxic animus and terminal self-absorption that have killed any true sense of American patriotism."
Hundreds of public safety grants cut, worth $500 million, funded initiatives like drug treatment and gun violence prevention programs.
Must Read-Most redistricting coverage emphasizes partisanship over more important voting rights violations. To his credit, @copycopeland.bsky.social w/ @star-telegram.com offers the most accurate analysis of the mid-decade redistricting unfolding in Tarrant Co.
www.star-telegram.com/news/politic...
.@MarcVeasey has this figured out exactly right. MAGA Tarrant Co Judge Tim O'Hare is part of the TX R evolution into a radical & oppressive big government authoritarian state.
