Increased attention on Texas House Democratic leader Gene Wu comes with more anti-Asian insults
“Is Gene Wu back in China?” state Sen. Mayes Middleton, a Galveston Republican, posted on X on Monday — the first day the House did not reach a quorum due to the absent Democrats.
GOP = White Power Party
I don’t know how @genefortexas.bsky.social deals with this on a regular basis. The behavior of his Republican “colleagues” is repulsive.
When this is over, I hope all of these people get booted out of office and there are consequences for what they did.

At a time in history when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, democracy, and decency, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction — fawning over the most dangerous authoritarian America has ever witnessed.

Fact check:
mRNA vaccines for respiratory viruses are meant to prevent severe illness (bad Pneumonia).
This means beefing up our immunity in the *lower* respiratory tract, eg the lungs.
Kennedy talks about the *upper* respiratory tract and vaccine efficacy in nonsensical gibberish.

Remember the outrage when Laken Riley was murdered by an undocumented migrant?
Where is the same outrage for Epstein's victims, MAGA?
They were young White girls too.
The difference is that wealthy White men are the criminals.
This guy is one of them.👇🏾

Well, that’s an illegal waste of taxpayer money and law enforcement resources. It’s also a sign that their election rigging coup project is more important than their ethnic cleansing project.

Let me qualify what Josh is saying. It is quite clear that the Constitution requires a census of all persons. It’s quite clear that past Supreme Court cases support this proposition. (For instance, the recent census question case makes no sense if persons doesn’t include immigrants.)

Video shows Department of Justice official urging Jan. 6 rioters to 'kill' cops
The Department of Justice hired a former Jan. 6 defendant who was caught on tape urging rioters to "kill" police. The department calls him a "valued member" of the administration.
Less than five years after urging rioters to "kill" police, a former Jan. 6 defendant is working as a senior adviser for the Justice Department.
Police bodycam footage introduced at the trial of Jared Wise showed him berating officers on Jan. 6 and yelling "kill 'em." www.npr.org/2025/08/07/n...

PSA: The FBI’s job is to enforce violations of federal CRIMINAL law, and to protect national security. The FBI can assist local law enforcement when requested on CRIMINAL matters. It can help locate and arrest people who have fled the state to avoid felony (CRIMINAL) prosecution.

It seems unhelpful to me that whenever someone says “Trump proposal X would be clearly illegal” a thousand people all chorus in to say “yes but SCOTUS is in the bag, it doesn’t matter.” Sure, the corrupt majority might sign off on anything. But we need to ACT like the law still matters.

t took six months for a Trump official to be politely forced by a journalist to admit live on air what everyone - including every economist - knows to be true (but which Trump keeps lying about): tariffs are paid in the US by US importers.
What an indictment of our media.
