The 17 Texas Constitutional Amendments entrench tax cuts and benefits for property owners and the rich.

This will significantly underfund public services and increase state deficits for decades.

These changes prioritize the interests of the wealthy over essential public services.

"Orders to fire on the shipwrecked" must be refused.
Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.

What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

🎁 article. Hegseth is a low-life piece of shit who, at Trump’s instructions, committed war crimes. When Democrats re-take Congress, we’ll fire him and serve him up to be tried in The Hague. And like imbecilic bullies, they’re putting blame elsewhere.

Hegseth, with White House help, tries to distance himself from boat strike fallout
As Congress vows accountability, the Trump administration emphasized it was a top military commander — not the defense secretary — who directed the engagement.

Today in history, 1955: Rosa Parks is arrested for refusing to give up her seat on a city bus to a white man in violation of the racial segregation laws of Montgomery, Ala. Her arrest spurred the 381-day Montgomery Bus Boycott and became a catalyst for the civil rights movement. /1

Yes indeed. Read Mike Johnson's words. Read TFG himself.
Mark is right- could there be greater motivation to vote than this? Even if you've never voted before, there's never a better time.

My “Side Note” spurred some questions and interesting discussion, so I researched the issue of the age of consent in 19th-century America. It was low based on the influence of English common law, outdated ideas about childhood and puberty, and protection of white male dominance. /1
Side note: In 1880, the age of consent was 10 years old in 37 states. In 10 states, the age of consent was 12. In Delaware, it was 7.

Trump is angry about a NYT piece that documents his obvious physical decline.His rage reveals that he knows his image of strength is fiction-once his aura is deflated & he's seen as shriveled & floundering,his house of cards collapses.

Here's what I want to know: this woman's crimes are known by everyone. She entered the US on an Einstein visa, which was clearly obtained fraudulently. She has no skills that meet the qualifications. Then she overstayed her visa & worked illegally.
Why is nothing done?

For all MAGA Republicans arguing “fake news” and “deep state” in defense of their Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, here’s a direct quote from him:

“No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement— just common sense maximum lethality.”

We look forward to the hearings, Pete.

Texas has created a long list of things against their own people.

When will they stop the chaos?

Use your vote!

Kansas tried this first. Massive tax cuts. Education gutted. Highways defunded. Credit rating slashed. Job growth tanked. Schools went to 4-day weeks. Brownback called it bold. Voters called it a disaster. It took years and bipartisan revolt just to stop the bleeding.
