Opinion | Sean Duffy's plan to fast-track nuclear reactors on the moon misses the mark Transportation Secretary and acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy's plan to fast-track nuclear reactors on the moon is a dangerous distraction.

WTF 😳
This boondoggle is a slap in the face of every American loosing healthcare, snap, voting rights, an education, paying taxes etc!

We don’t need nuclear reactors on the moon.

What's happening in Texas (and possibly NY, CA, IN, and elsewhere) around gerrymandering is a reminder: The Democratic Party needs to invest in winning state legislative races *every cycle, all the time.* You never know when a crisis will hit and we'll wish we had more seats or different leaders.

weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him

I am aware of reports that threats were made against Texas elected officials in our state.

Threats of violence will be investigated and those responsible will be held accountable.

I have instructed @ilstatepolice.bsky.social to ensure we maintain public safety.

BREAKING: The US government has just removed sections 9 and 10 of Article I of the US Constitution from their website.

Note that sections 9 and 10 deal with:

- Writ of Habeas Corpus
- Congresses ability to control tariffs.

See screenshot below: Notice that 9 and 10 are gone.

Dems should fight on every front.

If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts.

We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File.

Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

To Supreme Court clerk from Ken Paxton office: precedent is clear that a "quo warranto" proceeding "can only be brought by the attorney general, a county attorney, or a district attorney." In re Dallas County, 697 S.W.3d 142, 152 (Tex. 2024) (orig. proceeding) (citation omitted). Further, the Constitution charges "the Attorney General" with the obligation "to represent the State in all suits and pleas in the Supreme Court of the State in which the State may be a party." Tex. Const. art. IV, § 22. A writ of quo warranto, moreover, "is the exclusive legal remedy afforded to the public by which it may protect itself against the usurpation or unlawful occupancy of a public office by an illegal occupancy." Hamman v. Hayes, 391 S.W.2d 73, 74 (Tex. App.—Beaumont 1965, writ ref'd) (citations omitted) (emphasis added). The Speaker of the House has issued arrest warrants for truant members of the Texas House who have absconded to other states in order to compel their attendance at the ongoing special session. See In re Abbott, 628 S.W.3d 288, 292-98 (Tex. 2021) (orig. proceeding). The Speaker has set a Friday, August 8 deadline for those absent members to return to the Capitol. If those absent members do not comply with the Speaker's deadline, the Attorney General intends to pursue all available judicial remedies, including those available through a quo warranto proceeding to declare the truant Legislators' offices vacant on grounds of abandonment. As a result, the Court Post Office Box 12548, Austin, Texas 78711-2548 • (512) 463-2100 • www.texasattorneygeneral.gov Page 2 should not dismiss the Governor's petition until the Speaker's Friday deadline passes and the Attorney General can be heard on these weighty issues.

Response from Abbott: I write briefly to clarify the Court's jurisdiction in this matter. The petition invoking this Court's original jurisdiction filed today by the Governor does not proceed under Chapter 66 of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code, the provisions being discussed in In re Dallas County, 697 S.W.3d 142 (Tex. 2024). As this Court is aware, it has adjudicated on the merits writs of quo warranto in proceedings brought under this Court's original jurisdiction-independent of its appellate jurisdiction, the only head of jurisdiction that could possibly lie from proceedings under Chapter 66. See, e.g., State ex rel. Angelini v. Hardberger, 932 S.W.2d 489 (Tex. 1996); TEX. R. APP. PROC. 52.1. The Governor is not seeking to proceed under Chapter 66. As noted in the filing submitted today, the Governor seeks relief under Article V, Section 3 of the Texas Constitution and Section 22.002(a) of the Texas Government Code-as clearly expressed in the petition. See Emergency Pet. 1. As explained in the petition, at least 500 years of common law and more recent Texas Supreme Court precedent make clear that quo warranto proceedings may be initiated by relators other than the Attorney General. Id. at 13-15. As the Relator in this case, Governor Abbott continues to respectively request that this Court rule before House Democrats deny the Legislature a quorum for the third time.

So if I was the GOP right now, I would be worried too, which is why they're trying to cheat and steal these elections in Texas."

The cult leader's hold weakens Trump's bungled Epstein coverup demonstrates that he's past his prime.

"Trump has already demonstrated that he'll attempt to make up for his diminished competence with ever increasing rage. So as his hold over his cult diminishes and his political losses grow, he's likely only to get more willing to take out his resentments on his true arch enemy: the American people."

Trump’s War on Big Law Means It’s Harder to Challenge the Administration Some of America’s largest law firms are refusing to take pro bono and paid legal work from groups that seek to hold the government to account on issues like environmental protection, LGBTQ+ rights and...

Absolutely shameful.

It is overwhelming to cover all of the Trump rollbacks of protections and funding that are being made public...imagine the stuff happening in secret that we don't even know about.

We ain't woke. We "honor" those who fought to keep millions of human beings enslaved and who were traitors to the republic.

Not looking good for Trump

Fuck yes

There you have it.

Q: Will the DOJ consider pressing charges against any man that tries to masquerade as a woman coming into this country to beat up American athletes? Would you consider genetic testing so these people can prove they're women?

TRUMP: I think there is going to be a very strong form of testing

Donald Trump is acting as a DICTATOR. Every U.S. citizen who doesn't give a tinkers damn what the GOP or Trump think...should be making this part of their every day posting.

Repetition is powerful. It works. Trump has used it as a tool to destroy democracy.
We should be using it to fight fascism.
