Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.
Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas
With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

When I was young, I was taught that the 3 branches of government were
1. Executive
2. Legislative
3. Judicial

Now it’s:
1. Pedophiles
2. Criminals
3. Cowards.

I will be participating in a No Kings Event on October 18th. I NEVER met George Soros, have never broken the law and will not be paid to be there . I am going because I believe in democracy and will NEVER stand for the Trump’s fascism.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Texas AG Ken Paxton hired a former staffer to work on a recent case. As a state employee, her labor would have cost taxpayers $641.

As a private attorney, Paxton allowed her to bill $3,780 an hour, so that day of work cost taxpayers $24,570.

Despite having an office of hundreds of attorneys, Ken Paxton is frequently opting for private lawyers — many to whom he has personal or political ties — to argue on behalf of Texas. One attorney cost...

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

Old enough to remember when Dan Bongino was supposedly livid that the Epstein files weren’t being released and was on the verge of resigning. What happened to that?

Eric Swallwell (D-CA) says it’s coming to an end and House Republicans are privately breaking, that a “jailbreak” is brewing the moment the Epstein files hit the floor, and that Trump’s aura of fear is finally cracking.

Imagine knowing – being absolutely sure – that when you die, 65 or 70% of the country and the world will celebrate your death like nothing they've ever celebrated anything before.

Today in Politics Chat, I talked about how power sloshes around when a president is checked out, and noted that right now unelected officials like Stephen Miller are trying to grab it. But instead, We the People can take it back and create a better nation.
