Texas Republicans being more committed to cheating voters with a frankenstein map than to doing emergency legislation to fix the state's flood warning systems is pretty much all you need to know about them.

I'm heartbroken to hear of the passing of wonderful Loni Anderson. We did Bob Hope specials together & a Christmas movie 2 years ago. The sweetest, most gracious lady! I'm just devastated to hear this! Love & condolences to her beloved Bob (who was w her each day on set) & her family, who she adored

Kugler resigning from Fed, opening door to Trump appointment The Federal Reserve said on Friday that Governor Adriana Kugler is resigning early from her term and will exit the central bank on Aug. 8, potentially shaking up what was already a fractious succession process for Fed leadership amid difficult relations with President Donald Trump.

Adriana Kugler, the Fed’s first Hispanic female board member, is resigning unexpectedly. Though called a β€˜personal reason,’ many see it as a sign of internal conflict and shifting Fed policies toward a tougher stance.

I live in Las Vegasβ€”tourism dropped 11% last month, a warning for the nation.

Trump knows a recession is coming. That’s why Adriana Kugler resigned and Erika McEntarfer was fired for telling the truth.

No matter what he says or who he blames, this crisis is Trump’s creation.

Trump’s closest friend for a decade was a child rapist and trafficker

They joked about their β€œsecret”

This vile hag was a key part of the whole scene

Trump is definitely a child rapist - and was for many many years - it was his favourite thing

🚨 Trump is demanding the firing of the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, Erika McEntarfer, because the jobs report was bad.

When you can’t rig the numbers, fire the messenger. Classic authoritarian move.

I just looked up Erika McEntarfer since the White House is portraying her as a Biden mole. This is laughable. She has a Ph.D. in Economics and spent 22 years as a government civil servant during Republican and Democratic administrations, including the first Trump administration. 🧡
