New from Francesca D'Annunzio: The #Texas Department of Public Safety and #ICE recently signed a pair of agreements that will authorize some state police within DPS’s Criminal Investigations and Highway Patrol divisions to effectively operate as ICE agents, on a statewide basis. https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-dps-287g-ice-trump-abbott/

The perfect candidate to step in for Biden will be the one who is confident looking out over the massive crowd gathered for his or her ascension and saying:
“And to my Republican friends… [restrained catcalls & boos] …to my Republican friends, my party and I welcome the fight ahead! And I urge you, please, please—do not do what we have done; stick with Trump!”
Some #schadenfreude for you 🤭

From a friend here, if you're wondering why what the GOP is really saying: "no food stamps until you agree to no insurance"
"Yesterday we got a letter in the mail saying that our insurance in 2026 is going from $226/month to $2984/month. Let that sink in. More than our rent."
The Wind and the Sun argued which was stronger
A traveler came along wrapped in a cloak
They agreed the one who could make the traveler take their cloak off was the stronger
The Wind blew as hard as he could, but the more he blew the more closely the traveler held their cloak
The Wind gave up
Then the Sun shined out a little, then she shined out more and more warmly
The traveler loosened, then eventually, took off their cloak
The Wind confessed that the Sun was the stronger
OMG.
Get it right, Dems.
Our leader has spoken.
He has taken the first courageous, high-risk step.
But he has taken the correct one.
God bless him, and God bless America.
"[U.S.] House Speaker Mike Johnson and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries announced Tuesday the creation of a bipartisan task force to investigate the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump, adding to the congressional panels that are looking into the shooting at his rally in Pennsylvania."

"You get more conservative when you get older" only really worked for the generations that got RICHER as they got older.
The real truth was always just "You get more selfish the more money you have".

If you're a constituent, flood Schumer's inbox. Flood all their inboxes. Better yet, call them. Holy fuck.
Why Does Schumer Keep Trying to Cave?
How the Senate Democratic leader and his Gang of Eight keep trying to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.

Here’s what occurred. It has been widely assumed that the group of eight mostly centrist Senate Democrats, who have been looking to broker a hollow deal on Republican terms, were free-lancing. In fact, they were acting with the express approval of Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and were reporting to him daily.

This is the most damning and horrifying text in this article:
>Bonica found that out of some $670 million in donations, just $11 million wound up in the coffers of campaigns, national party committees, and individual candidates. The other $659 million stayed with the fundraising groups themselves. That works out, Bonica wrote, to “a fundraising efficiency rate of just 1.6 percent.”
Hundreds of millions of dollars stolen from Democratic donors.
