Hard to overstate how big a deal a Rehmet win would be. Tarrant County is the epicenter of Christian nationalism in Texas, an incubator for far-right policies, and nexus of billionaire Tim Dunn's network, which is riding hard for Wambsganss. Rehmet almost entirely funded by donations of $100 or less
‼️‼️ Still a lot TBD, but Rehmet is leading early vote count by **13 POINTS** in a district that Trump won by 17 points. I'll be updating in this thread throughout the night.

If the Republicans are holding out in the back of the chamber, one or more of the Senate Dem "yes" votes needs to come to their senses and realize how badly they're getting played.
So the vote is 56-40. Cornyn hasn't voted, maybe looking over his shoulder at Paxton. (The deal torches House GOP appropriations on 3 bills.) Rick Scott, Mike Lee & Ron Johnson are holding out in the back of the chamber.
Hardline Rs aren't likely to save Democrats from themselves, but it's amusing.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.

Look, I know nothing about the actual workings of this or any other video game.
But "a series of arrows" left me puzzled, whereas describing it as "up arrow, right arrow, three down arrows" enabled me to say, "Ah, video games" right away.
We just have the WRONG people on this, man.

So the HBCU that raised me is on lockdown because some right winger thinks that's how they get retribution for Charlie Kirk, whose killer is unknown? The automatic response is to kill Black people, who likely have NOTHING to do with his murder. And I'm supposed to empathize with this?

If you think cuts to funding science is somehow caught up in the “culture wars that have nothing to do with science,” you are missing the point. The entire project of education as a public good is under threat, and a threat to one university is a threat to all. We have to stand together #UCLAResist
