This can't be right, if Trump is a legitimate threat to the 2026 elections and there are things the democrats can do to stop him, why is 2/3 of this app nonstop scolding of anybody who takes the threat to the midterms seriously?
I am regularly asked what specifically blue states and Congress should do to protect the midterm elections.
Here you go, I list and explain them one by one.

It’s not too late for states and Congress to stop Trump from subverting the midterms
With only nine months before the midterm elections, Trump is plotting to prevent Democrats from taking control of Congress.

Did this a few months ago in Houston and was also surprised by how easy it was. Your license looks much nicer than the one Harris county gave us.

Next Superbowl halftime should include a recreation of the confederate surrender at Appomattox while Jefferson Davis flees the scene dressed as an old lady.

Houston is one game behind Arizona for first place in the Big 12. Houston's next two games are Utah and Kansas State, the two worst teams in the conference. Arizona's are Kansas and Texas Tech.

Sakho and Tugler getting 3 points out of those consecutive 1-and-1s late was so big

Absolutely screaming at my TV as Fran and Boog jerk off the official for not T-ing up Kelvin for screaming at him after he missed the most obvious goaltending of all time. Just don't miss the goaltend next time! You don't get credit for missing an obvious call just bc you didn't compound it with a T

8-1 Coogs win their opener over HCU. 1 game against an outmatched team, but dont believe my hopes that this team can hit a bit are misplaced.
London Park is the 1st Cougar pitcher to start in the circle, also frosh Leilani Garcia (SS) and Ronnie Esparza (1B) are in the lineup.

As soon as I post this, Madox Mitchael, the UH 9-hole hitter, hits a line drive homer to center to make it 5-0

Coogs looking good early, leading HCU 4-0 in the 4th

46% of men's basketball players saying they've gotten shit from angry gamblers is insane
51% of men's college basketball players receive social media harassment over their performance, more than double any other sport, per a new NCAA survey.
Unsurprisingly, much of that is because of sports betting.

That the files aren't ending the careers of everyone named in them tells you all you need to know. That all those people aren't in jail is a clear indicator of what matters. It's a political football. There's no justice for survivors because the victims were girls and young women.
the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

This is not close to anything as bad as what's happening at A&M, for example, but still not a good look for Khator or UH. "Sign this promising you're not indoctrinating students" is just not something you ask anybody in good faith.
The request has raised concerns among faculty.

On the one hand, UH just brought in one of the top recruiting classes in the country, so he's maybe exaggerating a bit. On the other, I can't help but wonder if KS would've liked to bring in a more impactful transfer than Sakho. Wonder if $$$ is the reason Caleb Holt slips away from UH.
