Do you work at the Office of Management and Budget? Do you know someone who does? Are you a current or former federal worker with information that you can share about Russell Vought?

If the answer to any of these is "yes," please contact @andykroll.bsky.social

That would be hilarious. I am apprehensive that now all the chaos of redistricting and limiting mail ballots will lead the GOP to not accept any result they don't like. Just like any other strongman regime.

Good morning, friends. When you notice someone lagging, stand beside them. If they're being overlooked or excluded, bring them into the circle. If they've been knocked down, pick them up. Validate their value. A simple act of kindness can have a profound impact on their life.

I am in a nice bed, can’t sleep but I am cozy and comfortable

The people in Gaza are being shot while
trying to access food

They have nothing and are starving

Children die first as they have smaller bodies

History and Article IV’s Guarantee Clause makes clear that a state’s governor cannot remove members of the legislature. No governor has ever claimed such power. It runs against the full history of Texas and American democracy as a whole.

open.substack.com/pub/democrac...

Governors Can Not Remove Elected Legislators. Period.

A democracy must have an independent legislature. Only voters elect and unelect representatives.
