“Chase down” in the headline is misleading. Not the same as “attempt to locate”. The legislators aren’t hiding. Cornyn isn’t really saying anything. Typical

Christine - Didn’t you mischaracterize Goldman’s recession forecast on tonight’s NBC News? It wasn’t withdrawn; it was lowered from 65% to 45%.

Trump’s comments about Greenland try to normalize the idea that strong countries can take over smaller countries .. in other words a message to Putin that Russia can invade other countries.

Gulf of Texas sounds better … but definitely not Florida!

Thanks. Couldn’t agree with you more about that. But don’t want to stoop to their level. (BTW, it was clever)

Not at all a fan of the gov, but that comment is inappropriate.

If Trump allows Putin to take part of another sovereign country, he believes that it’s only fair that we do the same. This is his warm up for a Ukraine “settlement.”

Once Texas changed the law to not exempt lawyers from jury service, I served on two juries (one civil and one criminal). Both were very interesting to see how it really works. You may find it enlightening. Talk as little as possible during voir dire ("If you talk you walk").

This is just like the idiots in the Texas legislature who insist on reciting the Pledge of Allegiance just before talking about secession.

Thanks. I hadn’t heard that. I don’t know that it’s accurate that one can resign prospectively from a position that they haven’t yet been sworn into, but if that gets him out of government, I’m on board.

Barb, Regarding Matt Gaitz' resignation from the 118th Congress - Did he also somehow disclaim his right to be seated in the 119th Congress, to which he was elected by the voters in his District, on January 3, 2025? Or does he have the option to accept the seat?
