Just sent off a story pitch to the Texas Tribune and an op-ed to the Dallas Morning News. A letter was published by the Killeen Daily Herald, and we've been turned down by the Austin American-Statesman and Houston Chronicle.

Last night, the Senate passed a funding bill that does nothing to fix the healthcare crisis Republicans created. Unacceptable. Flying back to DC to fight this joke of a “deal” and vote NO.

Trump is using the gov shutdown to pump up his illegal moves to shutter DOE. He’s shriveling agencies for civil rights, special ed, K-12, tribal colleges and HBCUs. He’s cutting staff, ending grant programs, cancelling contracts and moving the gutted functions to other federal agencies.

If you’re disabled and hearing politicians imply you’re lazy, worthless, or a burden — that harm is real.
The problem is not you.
The problem is a system that values profit over human life.

I’m grateful that #SCOTUS has denied the request to revisit the landmark marriage equality decision. Every person deserves dignity, respect, & the freedom to marry the person they love. This ruling reaffirms that those rights are not up for debate. This is a win for equality, democracy, & love.

I'll be sure to deposit it in the same account my DOGE check went into - the account of "it's not gonna happen."
Trump: "We're gonna issue a dividend to our middle income people and lower income people of about $2,000, and we're gonna use the remaining tariffs to lower our debt."

Good. I don't need a court to tell me my marriage is valid. After 21 years with Elizabeth, I KNOW it is.

In July 2024, Roberts authored the majority opinion in Trump v. United States -- which ruled that a former president is immune from prosecution for official acts carried out during their presidency.
In short, Roberts basically gave a blank check to a mad man dictator to do whatever he wants.
