Received a Political Science and History degree 20 years ago from Southwestern; haven't used it except to yell at the tv. Houstonian, also a genealogy nerd. Mainly sending missives to the void. My opinions are my own (nobody else wants them).
Why are you spending time and electrons getting Kim Ogg's opinion on anything, especially the Democratic Party, which she very publicly left in a temper tantrum after losing renomination? She lost any right to comment on intra-party Democratic issues the moment she openly endorsed Cancun Cruz.

I mean, sure, if they had played as the Baltimore Browns for a couple of seasons, used Browns throwbacks against Cleveland, and also not let Cleveland use the Browns name and records. I wish Houston had gotten the deal Cleveland got from the NFL, not Moon and Campbell in a Nashville Ring of Honor.

Mattress Maga spending millions in an attempt to buy Harris County Commissioners Court is only going to give GOP consultants jobs. Probably won't even help his own business; I know I'm never buying anything from him, as I have no interest in funding his political goals.

Ted's mom was born in Delaware, making Ted a US citizen by birth, even though it was in Calgary, so neither he nor his mother applied for asylum. Don't get me wrong, I want him to take a permanent Cancun vacation and never return, too, but we should get the facts right.

And here we have formerly proud Senators and Reps rolling over for belly-rubs and turning over the power of the purse, formerly the crown jewel of legislative power, to an unelected South African apartheid-loving fascist. Not seeing many profiles in courage, esp. among GOP officeholders.

Just trying to put credit where it's due, and I don't see the state govt very involved in this. I'm glad the GOP DA of McLennan Co is good about that, and definitely hope that it helps pulls TX out of the cellar, but the state govt doesn't seem to deserve any credit here

Harris County is (finally - I remember the sad ballots I filled out in college) a very bluish purple, so all countywide executives, including the new DA who replaced the turncoat Kim Ogg, are Democrats. I don't know that the state govt had much to do with it.

The point is to be absurd and show the absurdity of anti-reproductive rights politicians, which is why a pro-choice Democrat introduced it. If Republicans persist in legislating that life begins at conception and regulating women's bodies, why stop there?
