Phang: We don’t need the Ten Commandments hanging in Texas schools. What we need is common-sense gun legislation—so the kids can live. If my kid goes to a public school in Texas and they can’t come home alive, I don’t give a shit about the Ten Commandments being posted on the wall.

Phang: These are bright, talented young men and women about to embark on the next stage of their lives. And what they got was a rambling, incoherent, dementia-laden rant. Just pure diarrhea of the mouth from Trump. He has no faculties left that remain uncompromised.

9/29/2023— General Milley farewell speech: “We don’t take an oath to a tribe, we don't take an oath to a religion, we don't take an oath to a king or queen, or a tyrant, or a dictator, and we don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator.” Never forget our country and Constitution come before any man.

Texas is a petrie dish for every festering authoritarian experiment, banning bodies, books, immigrants and truth. It’s not governance, it’s a lab test for how much cruelty and control a state can pump into law before people break. #WakeUp

The current budget bill is an atrocity and out-of-touch leaders like Chuck Schumer laid the groundwork by voting for the CR. Appeasement and complicity do not work. When you bend the knee, they’ll break your leg.

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"
