So disappointed that my District fell for the attack ad/mailer lies and voted this hack into office. Bought by the folks who want to destroy public education and put into office solely to pass this legislation.
No legislator is more bought and paid for by Christian Nationalism like @olcott4texas. Look below and see Abbott,Wilks, Dunn and Weekley. Olcott is bought and paid for by Billionaires, not hard-working Rural Texans. #txlege #whosurdaddy

Q: What's the difference between Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and autistic children?

A: Autistic children have families who love them.

Trump: "Jimmy Carter died a happy man. You know why? Because he wasn't the worst president. Joe Biden was."

Don’t look at your retirement accounts … remember that for most folks you are playing a long game. I’m just wondering when this period of economic prosperity that MAGA promised is gonna happen. Seems they are just tanking the economy, alienating our enemies & how about that unemployment?!?!

It’s a small thing but my family has used Google calendar and Gmail for years to coordinate our busy lives and Chrome as our browser. We have now moved almost fully out of the Google ecosystem. I’m trying to make better choices as a consumer … even if it’s often picking the lesser of two evils.

Trump says President Zelensky should be nicer to Vladimir Putin:

“He doesn’t have to stand there and say ‘Putin this, Putin that,’ all negative things. He’s got to say, ‘I want to make peace, I don’t want to fight any longer.’”

(It’s clear that Trump wants Ukraine to surrender to Putin.)

I am so ashamed of our government right now … Ukrainians deserve better!

A school aged child who was unvaccinated died in Texas. This is the first US measles death since 2015 (an older immunocompromised woman), before that it was 2003. Measles kills thousands of children worldwide each year - vaccines save lives!!!
Breaking: A person who was hospitalized with measles has died in West Texas, the first death in an outbreak that began late last month.

More than 120 people across nine counties have been infected during the largest Texas outbreak in 30 years. Via @apnews.com:

Every one of these federal employee firings represent a real human with bills to pay, perhaps a family to support & they lose not only a job but health insurance & retirement benefits. We should care more about these folks regardless who we or they voted for.
On the HHS Leadership call today: 1 employee from CMS (Center for Medicare/Medicaid Service) and 2 employees from SSA (Social Security Administration) have died by suicide after their firing.

Amy Gleason is the acting administrator of the DOGE. Please don’t be distracted by this—it was only done because federal judges were questioning who was actually running the operation. Gleason is completely controlled by Musk, and he is doing this to avoid testifying.

Joy Reid’s show was one of the few I still regularly listened to on MSNBC. I dropped Morning Joe & others after it was clear that appeasing Trump was more important than speaking truth to power. So disappointed!

Hegseth says firing of top military lawyers was about making sure "they don't exist to be roadblocks to anything that happens."

I stated my career as a civil servant and worked hand in hand with smart and dedicated federal workers from the USEPA and CDC. Most federal employees are hard working & devoted to serving the public despite knowing they could often make more money on the private sector.
First they came for the federal employees,
And I did not speak out,
Because I was not a federal employee
...

You know the rest of the poem.

Act accordingly.

I’m SO proud! My teen got an email from his teacher that required a response (I was copied on it). At least half of the students replied to the whole list, but my kid understood there is a difference between “REPLY” and “REPLY ALL” 🙌🏻

In a world of misinformation, disinformation or simple incomplete and manipulated stories, always check your sources. The Epoch Times is NOT “#1 Trusted News” despite the billboards. A simple search will show you some very interesting connections that show why it is not to be trusted at all.

I spent last weekend at the #TMEA conference chaperoning my teenager who is a member of Texas Future Music Educators. Attending concerts and listening to beautiful music while being around others who love music & value the arts was what my soul needed. #choir #choirmom

Medicaid covers 41% of all births in the United States, nearly half of children with special health care needs, five in eight nursing home residents and 4 in 10 children. Slashing funding for these groups doesn’t seem very “pro-life” does it??
BREAKING: House Republicans have released their budget resolution. They are aiming to cut Medicaid by at least $880 billion, and cut SNAP by at least 20%.

It’s also easier to say we want to dismantle DEI than to admit we really want to dismantle the Civil Rights Act or Make America Jim Crow Again
Me in the Guardian today on DEI as the new N-word for the right:

I look forward to seeing what else will be renamed during this presidency. Maybe rename a Great Lake for each of his children? Or perhaps his favorite fast food order?
Associated Press: “Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office.“

My teen just called to tell me that his favorite math teacher might be teaching calc based physics next year. It makes me smile that these are the things that really excite my kid! (For the record, the love of math comes from his paternal side 😉)

Trump's plan for Gaza is so outlandish that even his staffers were shocked
February 10, 2025 at 6:58 PM
“I would own this” …. This is his Gaza plan?!?!?! Why wasn’t this gem of a foreign policy plan discussed in the campaign?? I’m sure the President owning the Gaza Strip will be a sustainable and peaceful end to the Middle East conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.
BAIER: Would the Palestinians have the right to return to Gaza?

TRUMP: No, they wouldn't
