@crockett.house.gov: "They pledge their fealty to some idiot who's obviously struggling mentally. Whether it's mental decline or whether he's ever had the capacity, they decided they're going to do whatever he wants them to do.. I never thought I'd see the day that a Texan would bow down to a NYer."

President Lyndon B. Johnson signs the Voting Rights Act of 1965 with Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights leaders in attendance.

On the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, we honor the legacy of those who fought to secure the fundamental right to vote and bring us closer to a more perfect union.

When Donald Trump needlessly deployed armed soldiers against Americans in Los Angeles, it wasn't just a disgrace — it was a massive waste of taxpayer dollars.

My office is filing a Freedom of Information Act request to uncover the true cost of Trump's political theater.

How does it feel to be Trump’s newest lapdog, Governor Abbott?

Dialing for more GOP seats with no regard for the consequences because we all know — and even Trump knows — he’s going to lose in the midterms.

What separates us from these Republican states is that California trusts our voters. We don’t play political games.

That’s why we’re exploring a ballot measure to let voters temporarily adjust our congressional map if other states decide to manipulate theirs.

If Texas or other states move to distort their maps for obvious partisan gain, California is prepared to respond — not to escalate, but to protect what’s right and just.
 
The future of this country hinges on what we do in moments like this.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom:

"We are talking about emergency measures to respond to what's happening in Texas, and we will nullify what happens in Texas."

He was just shooting questions. Just doing his own research.

The originalism section where Henderson calmly walks the reader through, "soooo, this is the kind of behavior the Founders were worried about," is excellent.

Does he ever actually work?

This is somehow even dumber than the headline

there is absolutely trading taking advantage of non public information by members of Congress but what Pelosi did, and has done for some time, is buy large amounts of long dated call options on large-cap stocks, and that is not really a way it is possible to insider trade

The Texas Dems are providing a test for all of us. They're trying to prove we want this democracy to work more than Trump wants it to fail. That we can outlast him and outwork him. No matter where you live in PA, you can help door-knock etc till we flip these 4 seats.

Donald Trump’s “art of the peace deal”:

✔️ A red carpet summit in the
U.S., but without Ukraine
✔️A massive potential giveaway of Ukrainian territory
✔️No new sanctions on Russia as promised

Don’t sell out our ally.

Again, congratulations to all the people who just couldn’t vote for Harris for whatever bullshit reason.

Nothing coming out of any part of this administration can be trusted or taken at face value.

this is what all you shitbags in the media wanted to happen

My only real takeaway from the game: TreVeyon Henderson fast

I irrationally need Efton Chism to make the team. Top tier football name

[Getting hyped off one preseason game voice] The Patriots are so back

Sigh. Here we go again. Texas AG Ken Paxton posted his lawsuit seeking to have thirteen members of the Texas House of Representatives declared to have "abandoned" their offices. I have read through the lawsuit and will again post my reactions.

Ken Paxton just filed a lawsuit to remove me from office.

But this seat doesn’t belong to him or me — it belongs to the people.

My message to Ken Paxton:

Come and take it.

Hmm not good

a) infallibility is the standard, much as AI boosters might wish to pretend otherwise. A calculator that is right most of the time is no more useful than one that’s always wrong

b) things like … what, exactly

"It is unclear who will next lead the I.R.S., which has had six different people in charge this year."

It is August.

Next he’s going to create a food that tastes like pizza and has all the nutrients you need with no calories or fat

Air Force denies early retirement for group of transgender service members The move is the latest escalation by the Trump administration as it seeks to bar transgender people from joining the military and remove all who are currently serving.

Americans who served and sacrificed to defend our freedoms deserve their earned benefits, period.

The administration’s attempt to deny these servicemembers the retirement benefits they’ve earned is disgraceful.

US Air Force to deny retirement pay to transgender service members being separated from the service The U.S. Air Force has decided to deny early retirement options for transgender service members with 15 to 18 years of service.

This administration’s assault on service members who have served honorably continues. Also, they got the headline wrong, it’s not Trump’s Air Force, it belongs to We the People #williamson4va2

Another cruel attack by the Trump Admin. The history books will look back on these attacks with shame, just like Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

We're going to keep fighting to protect trans servicemembers' benefits & working to enact long-lasting protections for trans servicemembers.

US Air Force to deny retirement pay to transgender service members being separated from the service The U.S. Air Force has decided to deny early retirement options for transgender service members with 15 to 18 years of service.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are forcing all trans service members to resign. But the Air Force is also denying them their rightfully-earned retirement pay — solely based on their identity.

This discrimination is illegal, unacceptable, and unAmerican.
