I finally got around to rearranging this whole wall. There were just way too many things cluttering the space in front of the piano, which made it really difficult to take down the saxophones to actually play them.

If people are working full-time jobs and still need food stamps to survive, then they aren’t the welfare queens.

Their employers are.

It’s cheaper to let someone die than to save them with a procedure they cannot afford.

I’m running for the U.S. Senate.

Billionaires have taken over Texas and taken over America — but together, we can take power back for working people.

It's still incredible that conservatism became people who are such fuckin' losers they're alienated by the most incredible society that's ever existed. That conquered the whole world with nothing but its attractiveness, and they've burnt it all because they felt left out. -OS

Here's hoping this dumb ban is dead for good. I can't imagine there would be another special session just for this.

It's always great for TX when Dan Patrick fails!

trump’s repeal of the IRA combined with a rapid expansion of data centers means Americans will be paying a lot more for electricity, something we aren’t accustomed to
Electricity costs are going to be the biggest topic of the 2026 election I think. There’s going to be a big push to get democrats to complain about big utilities price gouging even though they’re largely regulated and we need them to build a ton. I’m begging just blame Trump please.
