Kills all the birds. Like domestic cats.

This tornado is occluding right around the Vance AFB radar (KVNX)

I envy every one of them, though.

Weren't those final scenes in Moscow just breathtaking?

All the old Twitter dreams of Orange behind bars will finally come true when Paxton nails him with the obscure Texas statute against β€œnoxious or obnoxious odors” in an elevator.

Paxton won't drop out by the way. He's a man on the run.

He has to be a US senator for the same reason Orange can't risk not being president.

Orange says whoever he does not endorse between Paxton and Cornyn should drop out of the runoff.

He's not going to ask a standing US Senator to drop out.

Somebody told him Talarico would beat Paxton.

The Find Out phase continues apace.

I agree with this. If it's Cornyn, swing voters/independents (whatever that means) which Talarico needs will stay with R or stay home.

If Paxton is on the ballot, maybe 25% of those Indies vote for Talarico and maybe 15% of regular Rs stay home out of disgust. That's his path. It's narrow.

mark teixeira once tried to get bees to stop swarming at a spring training game by bringing a plastic bear honey bottle out of the clubhouse, he will be the republican party’s top scientific mind in congress

One's the county Dem chair, other's the treasurer. And they hate each other! And they're married!

Is the theory that Paxton asked TX SCOTUS to intervene to slow Cornyn votes in Dallas County?

04.03.2026 04:58 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Huh. It's probably bad juju to hope for Paxton to win since he's an exponentially more malicious actor than Cornyn. But Talarico may have a shot against him. A small one. Not against Cornyn, I think.

The big question now is how do Wesley Hunt voters split between Paxton and Cornyn?

04.03.2026 04:43 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 3 πŸ“Œ 0

There's not enough votes left in Dallas and Houston to flip the current margin, even if the remaining 40% goes five points better for her than what's already counted.

Wasserman calls a race and every year people are like, "He doesn't know what he's doing! He's a nut!"

People who (like me) ask Siri to add any two 3-digit numbers for them.

Amazing. Not a whiff of public policy issues. Just the degree of their complete fealty to Trump.

I don't know why so many Republicans prefer Paxton because I don't watch Newsmax Ultra or sniff nitrous oxide, but what in the world offends them about John Cornyn?

Am I crazy, or the Atlanta Braves not seem like an especially well run baseball organization these days?

Early results indicate Texans have put forward for November's election Genghis Khan, Jeffrey Dahmer, and a snarling, slobbering raccoon Mary Jo Fite trapped under her porch in Honey Grove.

I voted despite my stubborn notion that democracy has proven itself a pile of excrement for having placed the entire human race in peril.

The numbers are staggering:

Rent is now unaffordable for a record *half* of U.S. renters.

Some 30 million jobs pay less than $15 an hour. The average wage needed to afford a one-bedroom apartment has climbed to $28.17 β€” nearly four times the federal minimum wage, which hasn't gone up in 16 years.

None of it is remotely believable.
