Ronaldo Salgado, son of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, who was tragically shot and killed by ICE in Houston, Texas earlier this year, made a surprise appearance at the Ready. Go. Vote. Rally. Ronaldo, thank you for using your voice to encourage our communities to get out to vote 🗳️

Young people don't vote, you see, because conservatives have taken over schools and media and stuff (like, since the early 70s?) Some of you need history lessons - and anger management counseling or something

Yeah, we can talk about that. Let's talk about who controls the damn media, who has spent decades undermining schools. Want to know why the young aren't voting? Consevatives should look in the mirror, hand everything over to ultra rich sociopaths and wonder why it goes to hell.

Remember, Republicans made George Soros an international boogeyman when he was giving Democrats a *tenth* of this Now... {crickets}

For those in Texas, recall the current ads screaming about “no state income tax”…..

"Hamilton said states that avoid federal aid might begin disaster recovery more quickly...if they don’t have to submit a detailed aid application to FEMA." A good followup piece of reporting would involve asking questions such as: "What is an intergovernmental program and why do we have them?"

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

Dems: WOW crazy high turnout, Talarico is going to win! GOP: turnout is collapsing in Texas! No path for Talarico. Guys, it’s day one of early voting. Save the hot takes for at least Thursday. Or election night.

Studies show that AI can distort memories, raising questions about what happens when machines become keepers of the past. MIT's Media Lab found AI-altered images increased false memories, renewing concerns about cognitive decline and reliance on machines. https://wapo.st/3Uw9kRu

Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

Put aside issues of credentials or Trump’s creepy obsession with hiring women who look like Ivanka. Zacharia’s background alone raises so many counterintelligence questions it’s genuinely concerning that she is routinely so close to the President of the United States. National security be damned.

James Talarico: Texas has teachers who are driving Ubers at night to make extra money. The teaching profession is the most important profession because without it, there would be no other professions. Everything starts with a teacher in a classroom, and we are nickel-and-diming.

This gentleman has something to say about Trump's deranged glorification of people being mauled, maimed, mutilated, and killed by animals.

MAGA is way more angry at Talarico for having the flu than they were Paxton for leaving the country with his mistress for the Fourth of July

Re Ilhan Omar Worth your time: Oct 1992 letter from Republican US Attorney on an investigatory step before election: "[I]t amounts to prosecutorial misconduct and violates the most basic fundamental rule of Department of Justice policy. I cannot be a party to such actions."
