Vance is lying about illegal immigrants getting healthcare. I’m about to lose my Marketplace plan because I can’t afford the premium doubling right now with all of my other bills going up. It’s not possible to get a Marketplace plan as an illegal immigrant. They are just refusing to help Americans.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Thank you for coming to Hillsboro! We often get overlooked in rural Texas, but there is a lot of enthusiasm here! It was a pleasure to hear from Mr. Talarico!

BTW I know he’s at Quorum Report, but I’m broke!

Texas Take is (was?) my favorite podcast, but I skipped the recent Ted Cruz interview after seeing a description that seemed to be praising him. I now realize @scottbraddock.bsky.social might not just be on vacation. I deleted X and don’t see the scoop anywhere. I hope Scott is returning somewhere!

Is an autopen defense brewing? Trump says Biden’s pardons are invalid because of autopen, then pulls the “I didn’t sign it; other people handle that” while throwing Rubio under the bus. Sounds a lot like laying the groundwork for a defense/scapegoat scenario.

So glad to have you here! Pete for president please!!!

I hate that it had to come to this. I gently discussed Project 2025 with him. He asked, “Where can I read that?” I wanted to say, “Preferably last October.”

My dad, a Trump voter, called me last week and disagreed with the aggressiveness of the immigration crackdown. He called me last night and admitted that he missed two weeks of chemo because he was going to be responsible for the $17k bills. The clinic had issues with federal funding.

I’m having a hard time finding it in stock. Which is great!

I’m trying hard to disengage a little for my own sanity, but I am angry today. I’m angry about Elon’s salute, I’m angry about a prayer group thanking god that they’re getting a guy in a “Camp Auschwitz” shirt out of jail, I’m angry that schools are planning what to do if they’re raided. I’m angry.

My son trying to convince me to try the McRib: Do you eat hot dogs? I’d say they are probably better than hot dogs.”

I successfully made it through Thanksgiving without a political debate. I walked into my office this morning and a local resident I deal with on a regular basis came in and wanted to talk about who I voted for. He was sure I voted for Trump because he was the obvious choice. Good freaking morning!

BluenicornTX @bluenicorntx.bsky.social · Nov 22

I used this. It was great.

For the record, my name doesn’t indicate anything about my sex life. I was unaware of the term having that meaning! 🤣

You were one of the first people I looked for - glad to see you here!

The point of bringing in Hegseth, Gaetz and Gabbard is to burn it all to the ground. Senate: You must recognize this and stop it.

Post from writer Tom Nichols:

If you want to subvert a democracy, the first three institutions you try to capture with loyalists are the military, the justice system, and the intelligence community. Trump is on the offensive against all three.
