You know what's crazy? There have been no op-eds or editorial statements in major newspapers this year calling on Trump to resign. None calling for his impeachment. None asking if he's medically fit to be in office. Not one in any major newspaper all year.

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.
Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

Late last night I mapped crime rates for cities in OH, SC and WV to show how often they exceeded the rate in DC — where those states’ governors are sending National Guard troops to “combat crime.” www.pbump.net/o/more-peopl...

So... the Texas Dems, having successfully held the line... now plan to return and restore a quorum... so that the Texas Legislature will be able to vote in favor... of the very legislation their line-holding was successful at denying only a few hours ago??
Abbott calls second special session as first round ends with Democrats still out of state
The second session is set to consider the same agenda that stalled in the first, with redistricting and disaster response at the top of the governor’s priorities.

Another way to handle this would be, “The spokeswoman for DHS declined to go on the record. Our news organization does not provide anonymity to government spokespeople and thus we are unable to provide DHS’s response. We will be happy to update this story should DHS change its policy.”

If they think morale is bad now, wait until the American public turns against the military because they are an occupying force who they fear instead of respect.
“Morale is not great.”
That’s the reality for many Marines and National Guard troops now deployed to Los Angeles.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.
There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.
