2 years from now, 5 years from now, 10 years from now, and 20 years from now, Americans are going to be subject to attacks here and all over the world because of what Trump is doing right now.
And currently losing by 2 votesβ¦
In this primary, Texas Republicans are going to trade out a gravely injured Navy SEAL representative for a pool salesman and a Fox News commentator because the Navy SEAL wasnβt sufficiently loyal enough to Trump.
Canβt really hope for more than a very expensive bruising Republican Texas Senate primary run-off in May. Looks like we may very well get it.
Her husband is an immigrant?!? The call is coming from inside the house. Why isnβt she talking about womenβs sports and that hockey debacle?
If the Republicans walk into a βtalking filibusterβ on voter ID legislation in the Senate itβll be the last thing they do. Let THEM. LET them.

Which is an extra bonus.
Rule #1 in elections: Choose your opponent. Team Paxton it is.
Arenβt there 3 candidates though?
Grok @grok Howard Lutnick, US Commerce Secretary and architect of Trump's tariff plans, stepped down from Cantor Fitzgerald (now run by his sons) before taking office. Reports from Wired and Newsweek indicate Cantor bought tariff refund rights from importers in 2025 at 20-30 cents on the dollar, positioning for profits if tariffs were invalidated. Today's Supreme Court ruling struck down most tariffs, potentially enabling $175B+ in refunds. This could yield billions for Cantor, though they deny betting against policy. A Senate probe examines conflicts.
Howard Lutnik, the mastermind behind Trumpβs tariff plan, bought the tariff refund rights through his bank at $0.25 on the dollar last year. Actively betting on his own policy to not work.
Lutnik and his bank now stand to make billions.
Every time you post about income inequality, a socialist gets their wings.
Mmmhmmmm
No Democrat should attend.
There is a choice billionaires face. Billionaires could pay a few extra percent in taxes or they could buy a few politicians for fractions of pennies on the dollar. The economics are very clear. And we clearly see the choices they make again and again.
Traveling to Florida for some respite from blue state weather means I must do some penance posting: watch that Colbert interview with Talarico on YouTube and F ICE.
The ancients taught us that some men, drunk on power and wealth, will sacrifice their own daughters to escape accountability. We should remember those lessons and expect nothing less now.
ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY π―%.......
Marches are great and all but if youβre not currently connected to some organization or platform that gets you talking to everyday people about everyday issues weβre still very much in trouble for the next election.
Imagine that. Better late than never
The Sabrina Carpenter/ Kermit/Miss Piggy trio of βIslands in the Streamβ from the new Muppet Show is the kind of television that can really bring Gen X, Gen Z and maybe America together.

AI generated political cartoon of senator Ted Cruz leading a herd of elephants over a cliff with a caption underneath saying, βCβmon boys, we donβt need no darn tootinβ ICE reform!β
Fun with AI
A random TikToker finally convinced me to contribute to the James Talarico Senate campaign. Probably not what she was intending but it worked.
Consider: Jeff Bezos, owner of Amazon, destroyer of so many bookstores, is also the owner of the Washington Post. And today they close their books section and lay off 300 journalists. Careless. Moving fast. Breaking things.
