Trump is so vain that he wants to make it ILLEGAL to make fun of him. It really is the definition of pathetic.

@jamellebouie.net nails it, as always.

Texans 21 & older can carry a handgun w/o a license in most public places

To obtain a marriage license both parties must apply in person at a county clerk's office w/ a valid ID. Followed by a mandatory 72-hr waiting period before you can have a wedding ceremony.

My heartfelt congrats to Ohio native Travis Kelce on his engagement to the amazing Taylor Swift. Now that I have your attention-we must do everything we can 2 elect candidates at all levels who value our public schools, libraries, clean water programs, healthcare.

The Ohioans I serve depend on it.

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

This is why it was so frustrating watching women in the state vote for the right to abortion but still vote for anti abortion activists across the board.

I don't want my fridge to have a camera or Wi-Fi. I don't want my dishwasher to be smart. I don't want my washing machine to text me.

In fact, I kinda miss knobs and dials and knowing big appliances would last 20 years and could still be repaired.

I’ve spent a lot of time in Toronto. Every single Canadian I talk to I ask about healthcare. Each & every one of them LOVES it even if they have to wait for elective procedures.
Know why?!
Because it’s:
•NOT TIED TO EMPLOYMENT
•FREE
•EXCELLENT SERVICE
•DOES NOT BANKRUPT THEM
•HUMANE

The incoming Trump administration is not sending their best. They’re sending people with big problems, and they’re bringing those problems to us. They’re rapists. They’re alcoholics. They’re criminals. And some, I assume, are good people 🤷🏽‍♀️

With each appointment, tweet, insult and threat, if we let them, 47 and Republicans will reach their goal.
Never normalize hate. Stay engaged.

This holiday season, you may consider engaging your MAGA relatives from a position of curiosity - just be ready to maintain a straight face. Great conversation on navigating the family gathering with Lana Hansen of Texas Blue Action and attorney Austin Kaplan: bit.ly/3CKER9b
Good luck everybody!

Enjoyed this cathartic talk with two of my favorite progressive fighters very much. Highly recommended if you're dreading having to make nice with your Trumpy uncle this week.
This holiday, progressive folks across Texas might be looking for ways to navigate - or maybe to just avoid - gatherings with MAGA relatives. Attorney Austin Kaplan and Lana Hansen of Texas Blue Action joined our Podcasting Director Chris Mosser to discuss: bit.ly/3CKER9b
Happy Thanksgiving, y'all.

Pay attention to Oklahoma.

Bibles in classrooms isn't the big story.

The same legal teams behind the seeding of Dobbs are driving a case to create religious schools fully funded by the public & they've already petitioned the Supreme Court.

Understandably, everyone was focused on the election.
