Let me tell you something daddy… if James Talarico can’t win a Texas primary he’s not beating John Cornyn

It's clear from the article that ICE is *miserable* here. They're freezing their asses off and being harassed everywhere they go. Property managers aren't allowing them access to rental properties and people know their rights and aren't letting them in.

KEEP IT UP.

I don’t know that Ford Motor Company and World War II would be the first example I reached for …

Jim Costa's district is safe, there's no reason for him to be doing this.

Jan 1, 2018: I was planning to go to the Boston City Council inauguration. Got a late start and when I realized that I’d have to go to an overflow room, I decided to go to the AMC for a 10 am screening of The Shape of Water. Only one there until 9:55!

[tapping earpiece] I'm just now getting a startling revelation about the shocking thing in common between those who work forces and those who burn crosses

Kept it short for character counts!

If you want the districts:
Costa: CA-21
Cuellar: TX-28
Davis: NC-01
Golden: ME-02
Gonzalez: TX-34
Gray: CA-13
Perez: WA-03

Democrats Return Henry Cuellar to Powerful Spending Post After Trump Pardon “We got ratified,” Cuellar told reporters after the vote.

"House Democrats on Thursday voted to return Rep. Henry Cuellar to his leadership role on the House Appropriations Committee following his presidential pardon on federal corruption charges."

JICYMI - Shameful, repulsive move by House Democrats and their leaders. Disgraceful.

I will never forgive nor forget Ruben Gallego for saying letting people be tortured in CECOT was no big deal and could be good actually.

This is so sad. How have we let reading become abnormal in HS?

In English class at my CPS HS, we read a book every few weeks. Multiple per semester. Reading books and learning how to analyze them feels so quintessential HS.

That same 30% are the unabashed fascists in the country. It's always 30 to 35%. 30% would say to bring back chattel slavery if they were sure the survey was anonymous.

The 25th anniversary of Bush v Gore is today. The conspiracy mongering & corruption of the GOP has been brewing for a long time.

Roberts, Barrett and Kavanaugh were all on Bush's legal team, where they pushed unfounded legal theories. SC justices were already enmeshed in voter fraud myths.

Trump’s Own RNC Chair Warns Party Faces “Almost Certain Defeat” The head of the Republican National Committee has given a particularly blunt interview on his party’s future.

They know that their agenda is unpopular, and that is why they are trying to do everything they can to rig the elections in their favor. newrepublic.com/post/204361/...

A ‘revolving door of suffering’: Climate disasters by the numbers in Massachusetts - The Boston Globe Extreme weather disasters in Massachusetts have cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. But investing in resilient infrastructure could yield significant returns.

We are already experiencing the costs of climate change and climate inaction. And we need the major polluters who caused the crisis to start paying up.

A few congressional Republicans could vote with Dems to rename a post office and Stephen Miller would be like "YOU TRAITORS HAVE DOOMED OUR PRECIOUS WHITE CHILDREN TO A FUTURE OF MISCEGENATED MISERY, MAY YOU ROT IN HELL WITH THE DUSKY BARBARIAN HORDE"

LOL, I looked at the YouTube's "Recap" for me, and I'm in the top 0.1% of listeners of NPR Music because of how many Tiny Desk concerts I've listened to.
