Colorado - funding for universal school meals appears will pass. (limits on tax deductions for high earners)

Outstanding news.

Too many folks insisted on touching the boiling pot twice before believing it was hot.

Realized this could be read a few ways --- Abbott is detestable and those propositions are detestable too.

Yet three of the seventeen propositions we're voting on tomorrow are focused on trying to attract more finance bros to TX.

(Constitutional amendments banning capital gains taxes, financial transfer/activity taxes, and estate taxes)

Abbott's joke about putting a tariff on people makes sense if you read it in the context of hoping to be able to own people again.

They’ve all gone mad.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott: “After the polls close tomorrow night, I will impose a 100% tariff on anyone moving to Texas from NYC.”

I believe the NYP defines "aloof" as "completely ignored folks from NYP as if they didn't exist."

Traditional breakfast for Dad and I the morning after Mom made the sauce for dinner. A very good core childhood memory.

Even more likely - Four idiots were talking about not liking the current administration. Then an FBI plant encouraged them to go further.

His latest video on the "linear no threshold" radiation exposure model is excellent. He states that if he'd known what he does now on LNT, he would have phrased some things slightly differently in earlier videos in the series. Nothing that would have changed the important items you mention.

📽️ WATCH: The U.S. government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain citizens. So ProPublica did.

We found more than 170 incidents since the start of Trump’s second term. Americans have been kicked, dragged and held for days without access to lawyers.
