Harris County, which Houston is in, set a first-day early votjng record in 2018 of 63,000 voters. Yesterday's first day tally was 104,000 voters. I.hope this is a good sign.

Russia strikes Kharkiv's CH-5 power plant shortly after Trump's ceasefire announcement. This is Ukraine's second largest heat and power plant, confirmed by Zylenskyy. The best deal maker in the world strikes again!

Once again Trump posts a Big Announcement, this time that Russia and Ukraine have agreed to a cease fire. Once again, no one is aware of the cease fire and Zelenskyy says it's news to him.

Ken Paxton's wife, Angela Paxton is personifying MAGAt/GOP behavior. Ignore the corrupt, cheating candidate (who she happens to be divorcing) but pivot to an appeal for "electing the right team"...regardless the corrupt team member which MAGAts/GOP has already signaled they are ok with. Vote Blue!

Trump shredded a working nuclear deal b/c Obama’s name was on it, started a war, then told Iran to bomb 2 of America’s 10 largest cities. Now he buys Russian gas to ease his oil crisis. Americans pay to bomb Iranians at tax time and Ukrainians at the pump. Why didn’t he win the Nobel Peace Prize?

Trump's oil deal with Putin: Besides being a violation of sanctions. Besides giving money to a regime actively working agaunst the U.S. Besides hanging an ally out to dry. This loudly ballyhooed amount is barely 4% of 6 months of U.S. diesel consumption and likely won't impact prices.

Unemployed college student Barron Trump made $150m in one year. When asked about it Trump said "It's none of your business". Republicans: Silent. When Hunter Biden sold $40k worth of paintings, Republicans shrieked, investigated, held hearings and said Joe Biden should be impeached over this.

Nobel Peace Prize announced today. Over 280 nominations although in Nobel committee practice the nomination list is not released for 50 years. I predict when announced:

Soaring diesel prices are hitting in many ways no one thought about, combining with the after effects of other Trump fiascos. Food backs already reeling under demand for food now have to find 25 to 40% more money to fuel their fleet of trucks.

It's telling that Ken Paxton, Gregg Abbot and Dan Patrick are stalling or refusing to appear in debates with their Democrat opponents.

Trump will greet Xi at the airport instead of at the White House. Don't expect to see this on TV as the press pool is boycotting him.

Republicans nearly wore out subpoena printers trying to prove some conflict of interest connection between Hunter Biden and foreign interests. With Trump Jr. and a blatently obvious buy-off, those printers appear to have been unplugged.

The Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts is made of irreplaceable marble that was gifted by Italy. Matisse tapestries found throughout were gifted from France. The massive starburst chandelier in the opera hall, and lights along walkways were a gift from Sweden.

The record breaking stage curtains were a gift from Japan, they had to build special looms to weave them because of how big they are. There are special peices of art all over inside building, and the grounds are beautiful with displays of art. This is what Trump is destroying.

I wanted to share a photo of my cashew chicken & shrimp but it jumped in my mouth and I had to eat it in self defence before I could take a picture.

Rural communities gave Trump 93% of their vote despite term #1. Then...diesel costs soared, USAID gutted, farms raided by ICE, Medicaid and SNAP slashed, rural hospitals closed. When Trump was asked if this mattered to him, Trump's answer was "Not even a little bit". When do these folks wake up?

This needs to be a key campaign point illustrating the nonstop bungling by Trump and his suckophants and their refusal to take one iota of responsibility.

I had some juicy tender air-fried chicken breast dressed with Mezetti pickled red onion, a slice of provolone on Daves Killer multi grain bun. The pickled onion was sweet but tangy a great accompaniment to a healthy meal. Now to destroy that with a Dave's decadent chocolate chip cookie.

How will the Orange MacGobbler double down on his ground zero claims at the GOP Trump-a-Fiasco today? The firemen thanked him for the honor? (hard for non-existent people to do) There are hundreds of photos (that no one has ever seen)? That he donated zillions to the relief fund (no record)?

Remember when Republicans discovered three monthly payments of $1,380 by Hunter Biden to Joe Biden and shrieked how it was evidence of bribery? (It was repaying a loan for a truck). Trump's wealth soars almost $3 billion...Republicans are silent.

The Outer Space Treaty of 1967 states that outer space, the Moon, and other celestial bodies belong to all humankind. Not that treaties or agreements evrr mattered to Trump, even the ones he claims to author or sign.
