New Fox poll finds Trump 9 points underwater *in Texas.* Half of Texas independents have a *strongly* unfavorable view of Trump. Talarico +3. Those are crazy numbers for Texas. On the pod, @sawyerhackett.bsky.social is good on the possibilities this opens for Dems: newrepublic.com/article/2139...

Stay tf out my inbox.

The guy who *led* the Epstein cover-up may become our next Attorney General. But we can block him.

There’s one problem with Trump’s crusade against communism: He’s the most communist president we’ve ever elected.

Democrats need to start impeaching Bill Pulte right now.

Ken Paxton shares all of Trump’s political liabilities and none of his political talents. He’s the most beatable Republican nominee in Texas in decades.

10-year-old Neyeli Gomez spent her birthday fighting for her father’s release from ICE custody. We need courage like this from our elected leaders. #CourageNow

The DNC’s botched autopsy proves Dem leaders still don’t understand the trust problem they created

Trump just made Texas jump ball. As I told @gregsargent.bsky.social, Paxton as the nominee will: -explode Dem fundraising -further wedge independents -accelerate reforming of Dem coalition (Latino/Black/young/women voters) -put corruption front-and-center newrepublic.com/article/2107...

Ken Paxton is making "an enemy of people of color, of women, at a time when Dems are turning those coalitions back in our favor. [He'll] fire up the constituencies Talarico needs to win." On the pod, @sawyerhackett.bsky.social is great on Trump screwing GOP in Texas: newrepublic.com/article/2107...

Fun fact: Trump made more money in one year in office than the combined net worth of every president in history.

J. Edgar Boozer is exactly where Trump wants him

Democrats can no longer play by a different set of rules. If we want to protect democracy, we have to employ maximum partisan advantage everywhere. Mutually assured destruction is the only way.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Immigrants built this country—and they’ll help defeat the MAGA movement. (QUESABIRRA—recipe in my Substack)

This week Virginia lived up to its motto: Sic Semper Tyrannis—thus always to tyrants

You’re a fool if you don’t support Trump’s war, apparently.

Trump is pump-and-dumping the presidency—just like everything else HERB CRUSTED RACK OF LAMB - recipe on my Substack!

Trump can’t spin his surrender in Iran

Insane. While U.S. troops prepare for a ground war in the Middle East, the Republican Congress has gone on vacation for the next two weeks.

Trump’s war has already wiped out your tax cut for this year

Trump friend calls in favor to get baby mama deported

"In the predominantly Latino counties of Texas, turnout was both high and strongly in favor of James Talarico. [He] showed that he can compete in those communities." On the pod @sawyerhackett.bsky.social is great on Texas Latino vote and why Talarico appeals to them: newrepublic.com/article/2073...

Trump — the so called ‘Peace President’ — has now bombed 7 countries in less than a year. (PASTA POMODORO—recipe on my Substack)

A blind refugee has been found dead after being abandoned by Border Patrol miles away from home

Trump illegally taxed us $200 billion. Big corporations may be refunded—you won't see a dime.

The Supreme Court is trying to save Trump from himself. It won’t work.

Mamdani is not going to start his mayoral tenure by slashing services for working people to pay for Adams’s mismanagement. The city is required to balance the budget. So the state can either raise taxes on the ultra rich—or the city has to look to other tools.

Minneapolis didn’t just resist Trump—they torched the right’s entire worldview. (BUFFALO CHICKEN SANDWICH - recipe on my Substack)

Sic Semper Tyrannis Virginia has a chance to live up to its motto and block Trump from rigging the midterms. Check out @fairelectionsva.bsky.social to help Virginia protect democracy.

“When they go low, we go high” has always been misunderstood. Today is a good example.

The Epstein scandal isn’t a “both sides” issue.

The DOJ is botching the Epstein files because they’re too busy trying to steal an election for Trump

You won't find a single Trump fan defending this—because they can’t.

Who cares if Kristi Noem is fired? We can’t let up until every ICE agent is off the streets.

Trump’s entire immigration agenda is built on a foundation of LIES

Alex Pretti wasn’t a “domestic terrorist.” He was a hero—being slandered by authoritarians. CHILI recipe on my Substack

Introducing Trump’s latest grift: a “Board of Peace” controlled by him

“I wish immigrants would come here legally”

It’s been one year of Trump. Give me 2 minutes to explain why it’s been such a catastrophic failure.

ICE’s image has collapsed—and so is Trump’s authoritarian project (BLUEBERRY PIE — recipe on my Substack!)

It’s absurd that members of Congress can trade stocks. But here’s a fun fact: if you added up ALL the money Congress made trading stocks last year—it’s 14% of what Trump has profited off the presidency so far.

This is NOT a congressional stock trading bill. Don’t fall for Republicans’ charade. Thank you to @aoc.bsky.social for calling them out.

ICE funding is in limbo in Congress as another government shutdown looms. We have leverage to rein in DHS.

ICE lies—about everything

Trump’s attack on the Federal Reserve may be his dumbest authoritarian power grab yet

No, Trump won't invade Greenland. But he may destroy the world order trying to get it.

Meet the architect of Trump’s imperial warmongering

There is no “regime change” in Venezuela

Trump ended 2025 with a fake peace prize. He's kicking off 2026 with a regime change war in Venezuela—over oil.
