Governor Abbott just said he’s got “bullets in his belt” that he’s ready to use against Texas Democrats.
As a prosecutor, I’ve had criminals threaten my life.
I never thought I’d see the day that the Governor of Texas threatens my life.
Governor Abbott, retract your statement.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Leaking military strike plans via a private Signal chat isn’t just reckless. It is a staggering admission of incompetence. That such a failure occurred at the top of the Pentagon is both alarming and indefensible. Once is outrageous. Twice or more is a breakdown of command.
