Gov. Abbott and the Texas GOP failed to take preventive action before the floods that could have saved lives. They failed to prioritize flooding in the Special Session, and now are wrongly using flood victims as political hostages to urge Democrats to return for approval of Trump's crooked maps.

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.

The Social Security Administration was at a 50-year staffing low before Trump cuts.
Now he wants to force Americans to go IN PERSON for assistance even as he fires thousands of workers/closes offices.
Will any Republican stand up for Americans who earned this benefit, paying in month after month?
