Abbott's border wall, the one that he crowed on about relentlessly, and how Biden was at fault for not continuing to build it, remember? He's quitting building it after only 8% of the original plan has been completed, with worthless sections. #boondoggle www.texastribune.org/2025/06/17/t...

When they can pretend the violence came from the left, they insist all Democrats are responsible and ideology is to blame. When there's no denying the violence came from the right, though, they back off and pretend ideology had nothing to do with it. Certainly not anything *they* said.

President of the Mexican Senate, "We'll build the wall and pay for it. But we'll do it according to the 1830 map of Mexico... Mexicans were settled in these territories before the U.S. The Mexicans living there are in what has always been their homeland."

Watching the right now oppose the part of the second amendment that guarantees a well regulated militia under state control is… something.

SHOCKING! The Republican bill does NOT ban tax on tips or overtime. But it does snatch healthcare from millions of Americans to give tax cuts to billionaires! But go ahead, tell us again how Republicans are “pro-family” and “pro-worker.” Video: @repgreglandsman.bsky.social

The "paid protestor" trope is so pervasive among Republican leaders because the alternative — that a ton of people deeply and fundamentally dislike policies pushed by Republicans — is inconvenient. Addressing THAT reality would force them to actually care about what's good for their constituents.

Riggs: My opponent—there are a hundred counties in North Carolina. He picked four of the most Democratic counties and challenged the military and overseas voters in those four counties only. We were gratified that the federal court yesterday upheld every one of the arguments we made..

Since 2011 or so, Hungary has been what is known as a “hybrid regime”—not a totalitarian dictatorship, but not a real democracy, either. Is the same thing happening in the U.S.? nyer.cm/YxWG7w0

This is excellent news, as I am well positioned to open a religious charter school. I bow to the gods of Ancient Rome, in particular, Poseidon, also known to the Greeks as Neptune. Hail Lord Poseidon, ruler of the watery depths! All shall learn of thy greatness 🔱 www.politico.com/news/2025/04...
