"In play"!

Taylor Rehmet, a member of the Democratic party, won the 2026 special election runoff in a district that Donald Trump won by seventeen points in 2024.
Congratulations to my friend and our newest State Senator from Tarrant County, Taylor Rehmet! I met Taylor years ago through labor organizing.

Don’t tell us what can’t be done in Texas. When we show up #TexasTough, we change the game. Today we proved what we’ve known all along: Texas is in play.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

Isnt this interesting. ICE killed a man because he had a weapon in an open carry state.
Maybe the 2nd Amendment supporters see another constitutional right at risk?
NRA and pro-gun groups call for ‘full investigation’ into killing of Alex Pretti

Wouldn't it be nice to have an organized opposition?
AND IMPEACH AND REMOVE.

We need to clamor for that even if the votes aren't there—yet.

It isn't about women's health
It isn't about racism or bigotry
It isn't about maintaining the world order
It isn't about voting rights
It isn't about preserving our Constitutional rights
It isn't about the Epstein files

Can we all just agree that he's insane?

Isn't that reason enough to protest?

Trump and the GOP have so little respect for their own cult followers. They have no problem lying right to their faces, even while we all watch clear video evidence.

Remember. You are allowed to record.
You are also allowed to state clearly you are asserting your 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendment rights.
All of which are violated in this video,
