What’s going on with his right eye? Could it be a cataract or something else? Does it look normal to you? Any ophthalmologists here who can weigh in?

Democracy cannot continue when one party plays by different rules. Democrats have no choice but to do the same thing.

He was handed the absolute strongest post-Covid economy in the industrialized world. And he’s singlehandedly fucked it up. And eventually even many of his most diehard voters will realize it. And it’ll be a painful realization for them.

Silly @texasdemocrats.bsky.social β€” y’all should know you’re only allowed to skip town to block votes when you’re covering up for powerful pedophile rings, not when you’re trying to save democracy.

New Firm Seeks to Confront Trump on Executive Power

New pro bono law firm aims to bring appellate expertise to very beginning of a client’s case, to improve odds of making a successful argument before SCOTUS.
It’s a game plan straight out of the Big Law playbook. But many large firms receded from this type of work to avoid drawing Trump’s wrath

Excuse me…. But isn’t this exactly what Speaker Mike Johnson and Republicans did in DC to avoid voting to release the Epstein files?

Yes, yes, it is.

Crockett: My former colleagues from the Texas Houseβ€”decided to get the hell out of Texas… breaking quorum is where they’re at right now. And they didn’t just do it by themselvesβ€”they went to Illinois, where there is a governor that gives a damn. This fight is going to take all of us.

The fact that nobody around him has told him this isn’t how numbers work shows you how afraid of him everyone who works for him is.

This is how you fight back: with courage, strategy, and zero patience for authoritarian bullshit. Jasmine reminding everyone that breaking quorum wasn’t cowardice: it was resistance. Let’s match that energy all the way to November this year in key elections in Virginia and beyond

This is an actual carnival auctioneer now in charge of th federal mechanism for collecting the entirety of national tax revenue. A carnival barker in the bag for the tax lobby. There’s literally no reason to end this program other than corruption.
