Just filled out my personal voting guide for the Houston/Texas democratic primaries. Only have real strong convictions on a handful of races, so consider this your opportunity to sell me on any candidate(s) you think are deserving before I get to the polls.

The world's richest man is broadcasting eliminationist rhetoric about a tiny, vulnerable minority, and virtually no one is going to treat it as a scandal. It's just normal now.

An obvious fucking Houston steal is called a kick ball and ISU gets 3 free points, cool

I know ISU thinks they should've gotten some more calls, too, and may be right. But good lord the non-charge on Pleta earlier and the non-over-the-back on Jefferson just now were brutal. This is the all-star, final four-level crew we were promised?

"If this is one of those Cougars nights where they touch 15+ turnovers" is kinda weird phrasing considering that UH just hit 15 turnovers for the first time in over 2 years against K-State on Saturday. But it is notable that Houston's worst TO game each of the last 2 years came against Iowa State.

Miami University casually beats Ohio to improve to 25-0.
No team in the last 60 years that reached 25-0 and was eligible for the NCAA Tournament missed the Big Dance.

I know that as a UH fan I have no room to be cocky here, but SMU getting out-drawn 1,000-to-1 by OU and LSU fans for SMU "home" games is going to be so fucking funny
SMU’s throwback move to the home of the Dallas Cowboys brings cash and controversy, with OU and LSU looming.
'I hate this': Did SMU get Cowboys Stadium move right for OU, LSU games?

COUGAR BASEBALL WINS! Big season opening win in Puerto Rico over #21 Wake Forest. 4 scoreless innings each from Paul Schmitz/Chris Scinta to start/finish the game + 7 diff Coogs got at least a hit w/Jackson Lalima going a valuable 2-3 in the 9 hole.

Coogs win!! Houston baseball opens the season with an 8-2 stomping of #21 Wake Forest. 4 scoreless innings apiece from Paul Schmitz and Chris Scinta. Remind me to talk shit about this team pregame for the rest of the year.
Happy college baseball opening day to all who celebrate! Not felling very celebratory myself, as a fan of a team that is just playing out the last season of a lame duck coach's contract and has no real aspirations this year. But one day, one day this holiday will once again mean something to me.

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.

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.
