Old boomer guy and really tired of this bullshit coming from the right. Stand up for yourself and others. Not a time to back down or shutdown. Take care of yourself and those you love.

This is legit wild. One of the Trumpiest GOP kooks we’ve had holding high office here in Texas makes an absolute spot-on, beautiful, non-partisan call for government transparency against the governor’s attempt to hide his emails with Elon Musk.

🚨 BREAKING: Travis County judge granted Gina Hinojosa's request to inspect Greg Abbott's unredacted Musk emails. Judge Mauzy set Thursday 10 AM as the DEADLINE for Abbott to let her see them. Abbott tried to keep them hidden, calling them "intimate and embarrassing."

This ​election is our chance to vote for pro-education, pro-worker candidates like @ginafortexas.bsky.social, to create opportunities for generations to come. And if the UT-RGV rally for Hinojosa is any indication, young people are engaged and excited to vote. bsky.app/profile/aft....

Absolutely incredible turnout for @ginafortexas.bsky.social here at UT-RGV. Early voting is open, so we’re here with @zephcapo.bsky.social and @rweingarten.bsky.social to remind students to get to the polls and make their voices heard! #AFTvotes

Why do I have the feeling 1 of the things they discussed was the use of public beach that Elon gets to shutdown anytime he wants. Depriving the real owners of use. The people.

And most importantly, DO NOT LEAVE THE POLLS WITHOUT VOTING! You still have the right to vote. If the issue cannot be resolved, request a provisional ballot. Please share this with everyone you know in Fulton County. We cannot afford confusion at the polls!

Drive thru east Texas & you see forests that were at 1 time mainly hardwood forests. Now you see massive tracts of land that’s just a overcrowded pine tree tract. Planted close together so they turn into poles that can be processed easily.

If you adjust for all the price increases we caused there isn’t an affordability crisis. After all you can afford things after you deduct more taxes on your private jet purchases & isn’t that what really matters?

No. The charges are already time barred. Under the relevant statute of limitations, an indictment must be filed within 10 years of the offense, which allegedly occurred on October 5, 2016. This DOJ is out of control.

Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com

I believe that DOJ has 30 days to get a grand jury indictment after charging on information unless Comey waived his right to a grand jury indictment, which I kind of doubt. That 30 days would expire 11/4. Is that correct @joycewhitevance.bsky.social @barbmcquade.bsky.social @rparloff.bsky.social ?

On MSNOW, I slammed corporate media for their outrageous double standard when it comes to Abdul El-Sayed where they demand he denounce every fabricated link to extremism. But they don't press his opponent Mike Rogers to denounce Trump for his Jan. 6 terrorist attack AND for pardoning J6 attackers

There’s no way he’d pay a million if he finds out it’s a republican. Maybe some tips coming in about the republican candidates who are running or have voted in states they don’t live in.

A section of border wall that the federal government planned to build along a South Texas wildlife refuge could end up cutting through the refuge instead. The proposed change attempts to resolve a legal dispute in which government contractors are accused of trespassing on property near the refuge.

Obama lives rent free in Trump’s head. Always has. Always will. Besides this being the ‘gayest midterms’ ever (according to Jesse), Trump saying ‘I don’t give a damn. We’re making a fortune’ when stock trading more in 1 day than Pelosi did in 12 years, is what voters are hearing from the President.

Elon couldn’t buy the public beach near his launchpad so Abbott lets him shutdown it down anytime he wants. Elon gets away from paying taxes or fees for the land. Demand Abbott release the private emails between him & Elon. Gina Hinajosa has also filed a lawsuit. www.kut.org/politics/202...
