It is really something to listen to Tx House Republicans attempting to give the federal government shit.

I am speechless. This is truly amazing news in Texas. Great job, everybody. This is step one. 🥹

Maybe we could have people stay in safe democratic seats, as a little treat.

Yup.

Seriously, Colin! Move to TX 13th and scare the shit out of Ronny Jackson!

For those living with dementia, new study suggests shingles vaccine could slow the disease A new analysis of a vaccination program in Wales found that the shingles vaccine not only appeared to lower new dementia diagnoses by 20%, it also helped those who already have the disease.

Yeah, it's a filing day miracle.

He's going to run against Julie Johnson instead because he thinks Jasmine Crockett is going to run for the Senate seat. However thought among my coworkers is that they'll vote for Talarico over Crockett, who is perfectly suited for her House seat.

I saw this about six times just in the cinema.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Make persistent positive change. Change their world. Change your world. Then change the world.
