NEW: Transgender Texas Student Union has retained counsel in response to the Travis County filing related to the fake transgender mailers. It's Chris Hilton, who previously worked for Ken Paxton at the Texas Attorney General's office and left temporarily to defend Paxton in his impeachment trial.

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

El-Sayed: "I was a junior in HS on 9/11, sitting in my chemistry class. I watched as people started to point to people of my faith & say exactly the kinds of things that Rogers was saying. If that's his entire campaign strategy, you have to imagine how small minded he thinks Michiganders are."

Don't believe this is only in Georgia. Our health care system is diabolical.

Democratic nominee for Governor of Georgia, Keisha Lance Bottoms: My opponent is making money off of the broken health care system. He has a staffing company that lures staff away from hospitals. It has sent many hospitals into bankruptcy.

Watching Amy Klobuchar barely keep it together while Eric Schmitt entombs himself in his own stupidity is gonna get me through this week.

Ken Paxton: The criticism has been that I let a child predator out after one day. Well guess what? They served 60 days.

Our students don’t deserve this. For those who don’t understand UT Austin admissions, most undergrads get in bc they were top 5% of their graduating class, from a Texas high school. Anyone calling for more white students is advocating for race conscious admissions - to help out white students.

Ectopic pregnancy deaths have nearly doubled in post-Roe America. The rates are even worse in states with abortion bans. When we warned them women would die, they didn't listen. This was preventable.

If anyone was treating my 82 yo mom like they're treating Moscow Mitch, I'd kill them with my bare hands. OTOH, my mom hasn't spent every working day of her life taking away rights & freedoms from people she thinks are inherently inferior to her, so, y'know... ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

only send your strongest, buffest, most handsome men to watch mr hegseth

Exclusive: The Pentagon is asking commanders to nominate troops to attend Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s “State of the Force” address this September, and says the servicemembers must meet waist-to-height requirements and exhibit “impeccable” grooming standards. https://on.wsj.com/3VwFKeF

So this happened this morning. I guess I know now why Rumble was so determined to mark the porch step. Apparently it didn't work.

Rest in power, Gloria Steinem, a lifelong advocate for working women who dedicated her life to fighting for women’s equality, equal pay and respect on the job. We’re grateful for her lifetime of courage, leadership and commitment to making the world better for women everywhere.

On behalf of all dogs, I reject this nomenclature. They are not dogs. Dogs are forces for good. These are scurrying 4-footed robots. NOT DOGS.

Aisha Wahab is projected to win the special election for the U.S. House seat formerly held by Rep. Eric Swalwell, making her the first person of Afghan descent to be elected to Congress. https://bit.ly/4ikVXgv

That's the National Gallery Sculpture Garden. All of those Indy cars are going to go around that corner - RIGHT turn, I must add, which, y'know - ~150 times going way over 100 mph. Most race courses don't feature right-angle turns, for good reason. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

Hmm...Well, he certainly wouldn't say something this outlandish unless it were true or it benefitted him - oh, wait.

I can't believe they named a hurricane Lala. Lala is your neighbor's fluffy poodle/bichon puppy, not a deadly weather event.

people will look back on this era and recognize the destruction of USAID among the most profound stains on America's conscience, and the architects of its destruction as white supremacist perpetrators of mass infant death

New estimate of Elon Musk’s death toll just dropped www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

US citizens who can't count on dependable fresh water. Professional sailors jumping off battleships. The highest measles (and foodborne illness) numbers in decades. Moms & nurses murdered in the street & still not accounted for. Children going hungry. It's not good.

Thanks to Iran, Trump is learning what it's like to negotiate with a party that is utterly untrustworthy and completely willing to sacrifice others to achieve their ends. Just like him. Roy Cohn didn't prepare him for this.
