Today was the last day for Candidates to file for a place on the ballot for the March 3, 2026 Primary in Texas. I am exhausted, but joyful. Every race in the county has a Democrat in the Primary, and for the first time in 1 or 2 decades, every statewide office has a Democratic challenger.

Trump's ego and racism on full display, and now he's not even trying to hide it. He's a jealous, insecure, murderous sociopath on a desperate last lap in his evil life, filling his diaper as he drags his dead leg over the finish line.

NEW info on shipwreck attack. It gets worse.
The 2 survivors climbed atop wreckage and waved to overhead.
"Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender"
Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue."

Malone is now talking about the role of undocumented migrants in spreading measles.
There is no evidence of this. I am disgusted. The measles outbreak is American-grown due to declining vaccination coverage in response to disinformation.

Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.

Microsoft's head of AI doesn't understand why people don't like AI, and I don't understand why he doesn't understand because it's pretty obvious

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.
So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.
Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

So the Dem #CaveCaucus aren't even getting a real vote out of their surrender:
♦️Without a House vote, any Senate vote is meaningless.
♦️And without at least 4 GOP crossovers, a Senate vote is meaningless too.
