Thousands of jobs. Cleaner transit. Less traffic. A direct line from Dallas to Houston.
That’s what this project could’ve meant for Texas— but instead, the Trump Administration shut it down.

Trump Wasn’t President in 2020 is such an important load-bearing myth in MAGA and American politics more broadly.

Interestingly enough, if you take the top 10 largest dollar drops, the entire chart is Trump and Bush 43.
Weird how Obama and Biden aren’t on there, despite the growth of the $DJIA over the years.

The 5 largest single day $DJIA drops and their corresponding President.
There seems to be a pattern here but I can’t quite figure it out.

Booker's team just told MSNBC they’ve gotten 14,000 voicemails from people supporting Cory’s filibuster and sharing their stories—and another 280 million people have liked his speech on TikTok alone.
A masterclass in capturing attention.
Well done.

So Speaker Johnson threw a tantrum today & canceled votes for the rest of the week because he couldn’t wrangle enough support to block new parents from voting in Congress. I guess when you don’t get your way, you just shut it down and send everyone home? The American people didn’t elect us to pout.

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.
Trump Decried Millions Spent 'Making Mice Transgender.' It Was Cancer and Asthma Research
President Trump falsely claimed that Biden spent $8 million on 'making mice transgender,' but the real research was for human health.
