They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

Bernie praises Talarico's campaign

"I think he stands an excellent chance to become next senator from Texas. I have always believed that Texas has the potential to be a progressive state."

Says he'll campaign for Talarico if asked.

By the way, Democrats have now flipped 27 legislative seats in Trump 2.0.

Republicans are still stuck at zero.

Even in 2017-18, the GOP managed to flip a few. This time, just a goose egg, despite several good chances.

Texas is first big primary of the midterms. Hereโ€™s when election results will come in The road to the Senate majority runs through the Rio Grande โ€” with a detour through late-night TV. Eric Garcia breaks down the good, the bad and the ugly in the Lone Star State

We are seeing the best possible outcome that Democrats could want: Talarico gets a clean win and gets a six-week head start while Paxton and Cornyn cut each other up for two weeks.

Facebook, the media, and troll farms have ruined this country and those in charge see no reason to put any regulations in place.

is anyone writing about the rise of online gambling as it relates to the (supposed) male loneliness/disaffection crisis because I would read the fuck out of that

A disturbing and hypocritical ruling on so many levels. Especially the due process holding.

The court JUST said thereโ€™s no deeply rooted right for women to control their own bodies. But there is a deeply rooted right for parents to know if their kids question their gender at school? Come on.

Apparently California passed this as a law in 2016? When Rubio was a senator he passed it too, unanimously! WHY DOES IT STILL EXIST?!?!

They are delinquent children sparring with ninjas. I know why they tried this. Red meat, revenge, hubris etc etc. And competence means less than nothing in authoritarian regimes. But on the level of discourse they come off so sad.
