Have these conditions? You most likely won't be able to get insurance, or your premiums will be three to four times more expensive (just like the good ole' days 😡).
John McCain was the one that saved us before. He's gone, as are most of the other moderates.
So many of us will needlessly die! 🤬

Former Texas Lege reporter here. A Dem hasn't held this seat since 1990. Tarrant is the safest of red suburban counties. There is no way the TX and national GOP aren't in panic mode right now.
JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.
Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.
With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.
Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

Q: On ICE protests, what did you mean when you said 'people will suffer an equal or greater consequence'?
TRUMP: If they do anything bad to our people, they will have to suffer, I'm sorry. If they throw bricks at one of our very expensive vehicles, they are gonna be met with very very serious force

We already have the early vote, which shows Democrat Taylor Rehmet leading Leigh Wambsganss (no, it's not just a name from Succession!) 56-44.
Unusually, during the first round, Dems did *better* with the E-day vote than the early vote. If that pattern holds...

Polls have just closed in Texas, which is hosting two special elections (yes, on a Saturday!):
• The all-Dem runoff for #TX18, which has been vacant almost a year
• The D vs. R runoff in #SD09, which the GOP is worried about losing even though Trump carried it 58-41

Minneapolis is trying out new forms of resistance. They're doing pop-up blockade block parties. This one is on Cedar and 34th, a main route into the city. They have a stereo, food & a fire. MPD is present but not interfering. Lots of honks of support. ICE agents have been reported detouring around.
