A major win! A federal court in Texas today temporarily blocked the Trump administration from building a border wall and other infrastructure across the state’s Big Bend region. The fight isn’t over, but this is a big step toward protecting Big Bend!

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

The only reason that some people are demanding Mayor Mamdani skip the 9/11 ceremony is pure Islamophobia. Period.

This nation was founded on a union, and on this Labor Day, we’re reminded that the American worker, not Washington, has led to our prosperity. As one of the few pro-union GOP congressmen at the time, I’d rather celebrate the workers than the paperwork signers who gave us off today. (Link below)

Good point!

Merriam-Webster@merriam-webster.com

macabre = “muh-KAHB” Worcestershire = “WOOSS-ter-sheer” omnipotent = “ahm-NI-puh-tunt” reticent = “RET-uh-sunt” epitome = “ih-PIT-uh-mee” myriad = "MEER-ee-ud" Never make fun of someone if they mispronounce a word. It means they learned it by reading.

Dems need to stop equating salary to net worth. We all spend and save differently. We come from different backgrounds and family wealth. If a member of Congress is using the knowledge in their job for insider trading, prove it and report it. It sounds like you are upset about their net worth.

I love the way people immediately attribute the worst motivations here. When I get depressed about seeing people plumping AOC for president, it’s because I think she will lose and take down the down ballot races with her.

Well, maybe some gray-haired white guy named Bob will beat her and you can relax again.

Hope more states follow this lead!

When we talk about making Illinois the best place to live, work, and raise a family — an important component is protecting the health and safety of women.   I’ve signed legislation to strengthen menopause education and training, plus protections for survivors of domestic violence.

Visit Big Bend. You will know why. Don't mess with beauty. Iykyk

A border wall through Big Bend would be a monument to corruption. Local law enforcement opposes it — because it won’t make anyone safe. It’ll only make out-of-state contractors rich. We don’t need a corrupt wall. We need common sense border security.

Buttigieg: We know that there is more to life than partisan political combat. We know the American flag does not belong to one political side in this country, just as surely as we know that God does not belong to a political party in the United States of America.

Deluzio: I introduced this Let Kids Play Act with Senator Murphy and some others to get private equity and vulture investors out of youth sports. Let’s start with the problem: they have turned youth sports into a luxury item. They’ve jacked up the cost for families.

More examples of victim blaming I’ve seen today: “Where has she been?” “The timing is suspicious” “But she had consensual sex with him before” “Why didn’t she call the cops?” STOP IT
