Sure, he's a dumb as a box of hammers. But has he ever bragged about killing his daughter's puppy?

Republicans love to call themselves the party of law, but reality suggests otherwise. Truth is they expect Democrats to obey the law while Republicans are exempt.

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

I voted for James Talarico more than a week ago. So the Harris endorsement will have little influence on my vote.

I am hopeful that the war in Iran will bring needed democratic change to โ€ฆ the United States of America.

Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, thatโ€™s when you absolutely need to vote.

Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?

So the President of the United States illegally taxed our groceries, clothes, and other basics goods for nearly a year.

Whereโ€™s our refund?

NEWS: Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been sentenced to life in prison after a court found him guilty of leading an insurrection tied to his 2024 martial law declaration that triggered a constitutional crisis and military raid on the National Assembly.

I voted in Dallas today for James Talarico. There were about 25 people in front of me in the Democratic line. There was nobody in the Republican line. The Republican poll workers just sat there and gathered dust.

Some time in the distant past, a fast-growing malignant tumor developed sentience. It is now acting as Texas's Attorney General.

I haven't really followed the Texas senate race and admittedly don't know much about Talarico but the network trying to block this and colbert posting it anyway and it taking off....yeah now I'm watching.

I didn't know that the federal government assessed property taxes. When did that start?

If this country was truly โ€œpro-life,โ€ we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isnโ€™t about โ€œlife.โ€

Itโ€™s about control.

I always thought that the Viet Cong had achieved their success through marketing. Go figure.

I pretty sure that Wallace and Gromit went in 1989.

This Date in History...

February 11, 1916: Emma Goldman, a crusader for womenโ€™s rights and social justice, is arrested in New York City for lecturing and distributing materials about birth control.

Heh, how far we've come since then, right?

The best concert that I saw last year was one by Ruben Blades and his orchestra. I had only a rough understanding of what he was singing about, but I wouldn't have changed a thing.

I have the pleasure of visiting El Paso two or three times a year. Most Americans don't understand that even the rest of Texas connects to El Paso by flying. When I go, I fly from Dallas. When the El Pasoans I know come here, they fly.
