Had a lovely customer come in last night while I was working late. Dude was blown away by what I've been doing. It felt really great.

It's kind of funny to see folks who live three miles away discover something amazing in their neighborhood. I'm trying hard to tell y'all!

Tesla sued after Austin shooting suspect allegedly assaulted co-worker A 65-year-old woman says the automaker ignored warning signs before Ndiaga Diagne, the suspect in Sunday’s mass shooting, assaulted her. She sued Thursday.

the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year

the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter

They should put Stephen Miller in the hot seat next.

Remember how Pelosi went down to Texas to rescue Cuellar from a progressive challenger?

I say once again, and I couldn’t be more sincere, f*ck Nancy Pelosi.

Remember when you had to pay separately for a long distance call and it was expensive?

He’s been a star in the state House for many years, and politically he’s more progressive than Crockett.

Maybe you should look into things before speaking about them?

Hmmm. I wonder whose job it would be to do something about that?

He really does! I love watching the videos of him bashing them in the head with their own hypocrisy, calmly and politely.

I’d love to see him debate the philandering conman Paxton.

Exactly! People keep assuming his religion automatically makes him conservative, but they haven’t listened to him or followed his career. He’s walked the walk, and that’s why Austinβ€”the β€œliberal oasis of Texas”—is the region that put him over the top in this primary.

Religion is his secret weapon.

With 13 of our 20 contested races called, at least 8 @runforsomething.net candidates in TX either won outright, moved to run offs, or moved on to the general yesterday. Hell yeahhhhhh.

Do you know anything about Talarico? Policy-wise, I’d say he’s more progressive than Crockett in action. He just couches it in terms that Texans can cope with.

I’d suggest you take a closer look.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

Siri, how many Americans have been murdered by Christians in the last 12 months?

Wait, is Trump doing this war out of Mar-a-Lago instead of the WH because he thinks there's a risk of Washington being hit with a terrorist attack or something, in retaliation for his strikes on Iran? Because my guy, I think the terrorists could also find Mar-a-Lago, I am just saying.

I do like that some blue states threw it in Texas’ face, though, with their own emergency gerrymander. Congressional Dems wouldn’t have had the balls.

Yeah, he’s awesome. That sucks. I lived in McCaul’s district so I never had a good rep. I lived in GOP districts in Houston, too. This is the 4th round of shitty gerrymandering.

I just wish blue state congressional Dems hadn’t let it go this far while we were hostages. Complacency.

Yes, the clusterf*ck is a monster. I worked for the state government until 2014 until I realized the feds weren’t coming to address the deep political corruption I saw. I didn’t understand at the time…

I’m sorry.

All of this is true, but I worked with the Party some years ago in a major Texas city, and the factions and dysfunction and the way campaigns and Party operators stole each other’s people and treated each other was shocking. I wasn’t surprised they failed so entirely.

It helps to understand the military was the organ by which the wealthy stole our money and the resources from around the world and now it is controlled by criminals who don’t even bother hiding their crimes and are willing to rent it out to the highest bidder without hesitation.

Is there a single @democrats.senate.gov who hasn’t praised Trump for this today?

Even MAGA is unhappy with him FFS.

It’s ok to say simply, β€œTrump can’t go around taking out world leaders on a whim.”

01.03.2026 23:35 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

No, he hasn’t.

Are any of these Dems saying, β€œbut Trump can’t keep going around knocking off world leaders”?
