They won’t rush to help Texans in crisis.
They won’t rush to fund our schools.
But when it’s about keeping power? Texas Republicans drop everything.
The people of Texas deserve better than this corrupt, cowardly process.

"The language that is being used has a specific resonance, which, historically, has been used to change regime type. It is important that the rights of human beings were violated. It is important that the rule of law was ignored. It is important that the executive is trying to define reality."
Language used by individuals associated with the federal government who deported people without trial or due process to a concentration camp in El Salvador, defying a court order, has a specific resonance that, historically, has been used to change regime type.

Tuberville is a blight on America
Quite the message to the American people
Tommy Tuberville: "No pain, no gain. That's what we used to tell our football players. There's gonna be some pain with tariffs ... Democrats get out of the way. Shut up."

The struggle is those with means against those without
The massive income and wealth inequality that exists in America today is literally a matter of life and death.
People in wealthy counties live SEVEN years longer than people in poorer communities. That’s unacceptable.
EVERYONE has the right to a long, happy and productive life.

the vice president of the united states is a groyper who spends his online time following nazis and esoteric reactionary influencers is true and yet the press seems completely disinterested in it
If you listen to that last clip of the US VP doing the rounds, it does feel like some sort of analysis showing what these people are huffing on the regular is sorely missing from mainstream commentary
This is it. You cannot explain in polite conversation that the higher echelons of US policy making are on personal terms with something called Bronze Age Pervert without yourself sounding like a maniac

SOTU seats are not assigned. There are general seating areas for each body (House, Senate, SCOTUS,etc) but there are honored seats for each party’s leadership and they’re even trying to squat those.
If it doesn’t sort out, be aware you may see applause on both sides of the aisle but they may be GOP
