Dropping like flies…. but it also makes Trump even more desperate and a desperate Trump is very dangerous.

What a legacy to have, right? When the history books are written. But she deserves it.

What an amazing group of people! I know that with people like this fighting, we will keep our country! Thank you for all of those who followed me and I have followed all of you back!

I’m a retired ELA teacher. Most of my children were Hispanic, and their families and culture embraced me so lovingly. They are just one of the reasons that I am fighting back against ICE and Trump.

I know this seems wildly ordinary when I look at everything that is happening in our country, but I have to just say this: I have completed writing my first children’s book. And I think it’s good.

I wrote it for my 18 month old grandson. It’s how I’m keeping sane.

Now I have to find a publisher!

Thank you to all of those who have followed me tonight, I am stunned by the quality of people here. There are days when I lose hope and despair that we will lose our country. And then I meet people like you and I know that we will be strong enough to save it, together.

@maddow.bsky.social on Trump today demanding that whoever does not get his endorsement in the Texas GOP Senate race has to drop out immediately: How to say Talarico scared you out of your depends without saying it.

Iran, take note

You know what’s really screwed up about this? Trump is saying that he’s trying to force an agreement on Iran’s nuclear program. We had that, he’s the idiot that canceled it because it had another president’s name on it. And now he’s taking us into another war.

As much as I hate it, I’m not sure Texas will elect a black woman. Her district loves her and will elect her over and over again. But there’s a lot of good old boys in Texas. All they see is the color of her skin and that she is a woman. We can hope is that those guys just don’t vote at midterms.

@maddow.bsky.social red stronghold Tyler, TX turned out for James Talarico. They cut off the line at 1000 people with many more lined up in the parking lot wanting to get in.

I attended the rally for Talarico and Hinajosa, who is running against Abbott, last night in blood red Tyler. The fire marshal stopped at 1000 with people still in the parking lot lined up waiting to get in. We’ve got great candidates and people are fed up. Texas will flip. Change is coming.

So a young woman is sexually harassed and finally dies of suicide from despair and the pressure. But keeping that razor thin majority is more important. Just think on that for a minute. This is the country we have become.

Standing room only for James Talarico in red city Tyler!!! Change is coming, folks. Texas will flip.

Does he honestly think Iran would not utilize their nukes against us? Because he is sadly wrong. He is going to kill this country and everyone in it to stay out of the Epstein files.

His hat - America never left. It just wasn’t the color, language, religion or lifestyle that you wanted. You left America. And frankly, we would love for you to stay away.

I don’t know if anyone from Sling TV monitors this but if you do, your customer service sucks. It takes forever to get a live agent and then they can’t fix it, they just dump you in the middle of the chat and it’s still not fixed. I would never recommend sling TV to anyone. Total waste of money.

This is just me, but I would’ve much rather seen Democrats refuse to fund DHS AT ALL while they negotiate. Because they can do it a lot of damage in two weeks. And if those SOBs missed a paycheck, I wouldn’t be crying. They can just use that big bonus they got.

@maddow.bsky.social a victory with Bovino leaving, but don’t take your eyes off what is important, stopping Trump and Stephen Miller. They still want prison camps. They will still take people off the streets. And people will still die. Trump’s just trying to deflect. Don’t relax, don’t rest. Protest

And he quoted Margaret Mead: never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed it’s the only thing that ever has

And it made me cry. The president isn’t sending help. The president is who is killing us.

I’m watching the West Wing again. There’s an uprising in another country, people are getting slaughtered, and against all recommendations, the president sends help. Because it’s the right thing to do, it’s the moral thing to do.

A waste of time and money. She will lie again. She has absolutely no respect for Congress and the rule of law. Hell she doesn’t even know what the rule of law is. So she’ll just lie more.

You, like me, want to get rid of Stephen Miller? Easy. Just start praising him publicly and saying how much smarter than Trump he is. Claim that nothing happens in this country without his approval. Trump will get rid of him by the end of the week.
