If the GOP didn't feel those who don't subscribe to their ideology—in Texas—breathing down their necks, they wouldn't be this desperate. People need to remember that after Gov. Ann Richards, the GOP took over via cheating, & the Corp-DNC hasn't invested tangiblly in Texas since; they've forgone us.
I'm craving spaghetti, but I just discovered that I'm out of ground meat, and I have no desire to drive to the store. I think that I'll be experimenting with flavors and textures to simulate the genuine article!
On top of my head, I'm thinking lentils with the rest of my traditional sauce recipe. 🤔

Nearly a dozen warships and 12,000 troops are deployed in Caribbean at this very moment.
But Trump's judicial nominees can't even bring themselves to acknowledge Congress’ role in declaring or authorizing war, or refusing to do so.

Trump entered the Mar-a-Lago ballroom for his Thanksgiving feast to the song “We Are the World,” a song used to raise money to help starving children.
Trump himself has cut aid to address global famine and has fought for the right to cut food stamps from American families.

The Johnson Amendment protects our democracy from turning churches into dark-money Super PACs. A tiny Christian nationalist faction is trying to blow it up — with help from Trump’s IRS.

Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago. We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.

I know our inclination is to buy this weekend from companies touting lower prices (Amazon, Target & Walmart).
Resist the urge. The only way to force greedy corps to lower prices to acceptable levels, paying living wages, & end discriminatory practices is to withhold your money.

In case you missed this, the BBC edited a historian's speech about Trump to remove the claim that he's "the most openly corrupt president in US history." This came after Trump had threatened a $1 billion lawsuit.

First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?
