This is what happens when you hire an anti-vaccine crank with no medical, public health, or scientific training to be in charge of your country's health department.

Gov. Greg Abbott Was Ordered to Release Some of His Emails With Elon Musk. Most Are Blacked Out. Months after fighting to keep secret emails between Gov. Greg Abbott and Elon Musk, Texas officials released 1,400 pages of records. But they reveal little about the two men’s relationship or Musk’s influence over state government.

NEW: After fighting to keep emails between Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s office and billionaire Elon Musk’s companies secret, officials have released nearly 1,400 pages of documents to The Texas Newsroom.

All but about 200 pages are blacked out.

“THIS IS A SEWER… A SCAM… Congress has been enriching itself for too dadgum long.”

We are highly critical of @RepTimBurchett but he & @repjayapal are right — Congress should be BANNED from trading stocks, as @unusualwhales calls out.

Make your reps & senators back this.

This can be easily affirmed following the Midterm subpoena all the FBI supervisors and Agents tasked with scrubbing the Epstein Files and conduct Public Congressional hearings and 99.9 % will become Prosecuting witnesses.

I think Smith's onto something. If the Court reverses this, Justices Jackson & Sotomayor should begin their dissents with "The main winners of Chief Justice Roberts' opinion are the Koch brothers & Greg Abbott." And in their dissents in the VRA, Sec 2 case, they should identify the winners in it.

This *entire* episode is all of the evidence anyone should ever need, regardless of their politics, for why it's important to have experienced career officials in key government positions (like U.S. Attorney), rather than partisan cronies (unlawfully) appointed solely to do the President's bidding.

That footnote literally doesn't address why it's important to mention Soros lol

Also! As he puts it, what he says is literally not true. Prudence/consequences can be a legitimate factor in a decision, but if it ISN'T relevant to the decision then STFU about it

I doubt that Soros and @marcelias.bsky.social's law firm will be mentioned, even in looney concurrence. But Jewish space lasers might.

Psycho Pete's Living Guide to Boycotting the Big Orange Menace The beast eats money. Don't feed it with yours.

Home Depot encourages, assists and conceals ICE kidnappings on their doorstep. They are already on this boycott guide. It is no longer in their best financial interest to assist, but they continue to do it. So we have to assume they have far-right ideology. psychopete1.substack.com/p/psycho-pet...

You have to follow the link to Twitter to see Vindman's actual statement. He calls on Trump to release the transcript of his call with MBS after Khashoggi murder. But he makes pretty clear that Trump gave MBS a big high five after he ordered JK sawed into parts. x.com/RepVindman/s...

Presenting Ukraine with an ultimatum ain't great. To put it mildly. What was even more worrisome in the Axios rundown is that USA-Russia secret negotiation will also deal with 'security of Europe'. Bad sign. There's already a plan for that: NATO. Any new plan Russia created is very bad.

‘Democrats are going to come to regret this’: After Epstein vote, Trump ready to attack The White House is frustrated about being backed into a corner on the Epstein vote. They plan to punish Democrats for it.

Not for nothing but if you’re gonna print the Trump White House’s attack strategy verbatim you might want to offer an assessment of whether it will actually work? www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

The disagreement between conservatives in the federal judiciary isn’t whether racism and authoritarianism is illegal and bad. There differences are about how nakedly and plainly racist Republicans should be allowed to be.

To recap: My law firm represented Black and Latino voters in striking down Texas' new congressional map.

The dissenting opinion mentions George Soros 17 times and me and my law firm 3 times (all about how connected to Soros I allegedly am). I have never seen anything like it.

This morning I wrote to Democracy Docket premium members about why I always said we could defeat the new Texas map and the importance of not giving up on winning voting and election cases in court.

What Big Tech Doesn't Want You to Know About AI
Robert Reich What Big Tech Doesn't Want You to Know About AI

Big Tech is plotting a multi-million dollar lobbying blitz to oppose AI regulation at the state and federal level.

Now, House Republicans are reportedly looking to resurrect a ban on all state-level AI regulation.
