Texas hasn't received FEMA aid yet. The callous disregard from officials is shocking. I hope Texans remember this in 2026. Ultimately, it seems the priority is enriching the wealthy using funds collected from struggling individuals.

Interesting ay?

Oddly, ICE has been raiding Mexican restaurants- even here in the Midwest. So like are we supposed to believe that undermining our ability to procure tacos is going to solve the fentanyl problem?

The Secretary of Defense is out here promoting Christian nationalism.

Imagine being a Jewish or Muslim servicemember right now.

In any other Administration this would be a fireable offense. In this one, it’s applauded.

My firm represents FBI Special Agent in Charge of Las Vegas Field Office Spencer Evans, a decorated 21 year veteran, who was just summarily fired by Dir #KashPatel. No due process. Fired because he followed COVID protocol instructions issued by Justice Dept back in 2021-22.

A little math about that prison camp in Florida. $450 million per year for 3,000 people is $150,000/person per year. The cost for one person receiving SNAP for one year is $2256, yet they're telling us that's too expensive. threads.com/@unapologeticallyzae

Last Tuesday Pacific Gas & Electric drew on residential batteries in >100k homes, during peak demand, to power the statewide grid in test to determine power availability therein w/o grid failure. The amount was 535MW, equiv to a large hydro dam or ½ a nuclear plant.
