A baby goat came in for her close up lol

If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting. The battle between republican self preservation and MAGA will be intense

Have you taken our TX Dem endorsement poll? There's still time! The survey is closing on Sunday, March 2nd. Be sure to let us know what you think! www.texasprogressivecaucus.org/tdp_chair_en...

I stopped on my walk to tell a postman, "Thank you!" and you should have seen his reaction! He looked at me and said it's been so stressful and that he and his wife quit buying non-essential things. He is so worried about everything. So check in on your postmen.

Baby goat update: one of the babies was being rude and the mama goat had to teach it some manners lol

I moved the critters to a new field today as a part of our new field rotation practices. Finally finished the last fence I needed to fully start rotating the critters. Teddy (& Cinnabon + Peso) were very happy to be in the new field with all sorts of treats!

The Trumplicans are only for big business, they don’t care about working people

The mini cows are trying to help me build a new fence lol I’m building a new tunnel/lane for them + the goats to walk down to get to another field. I’m about to rotate fields. The plan is to open and close lanes so that they can have access to diff fields over the year

Had a great time in the Coastal Bend area meeting with progressives to talk about building the Party and returning power to Working Texans (& away from the oligarchs). Learn more about our work below: www.texasprogressivecaucus.org

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, ProPublica’s analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

Baby goat update

This will especially hurt rural folks

This plus right wing radio. Brought to you by Reagan removing the Fairness Doctrine

A big thank you to everyone who wished me a happy bday! I disconnected from social media for most of today. Spent it running around the ranch, tinkering with things, and getting my 94 yr old Mamaw to try keto ice cream for the first time (she loved it lol).

The debt itself is not the emergency. Inequality is. And DOGE is cutting programs for the poor to clear the way for Trump’s tax cuts for corporations and the rich, making it worse. DOGE is a transfer of wealth from the bottom to the top. See it for what it is.

Meanwhile half of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

Alert 3: breathe through alerts 1, 2, and 4

Republicans will do anything but lower grocery prices

Our TX Dem Chair Endorsement Poll is live! Happy voting www.texasprogressivecaucus.org/tdp_chair_en...

Dear Elon: How much money did it cost the feds to raid the Mexican bakery in my town of Midland, Texas, to target 13 men and women who work 12 hours a day and never had any criminal history in our country. How much to process and send them home? Is that efficient? Sara

Another new baby!

So a number of updates. First off, the two baby goats are doing well. A boy and a girl, with the boy being extremely extroverted. Momma is doing well too. Also, I unexpectedly got a new vehicle — a Ford Maverick Hybrid! I’ll miss my F150, but it was time (esp with an impending trade war)

Woke up this morning to some new baby goats!

The Trump administration canceled an ongoing investigation into the impact of U.S. trade policy on communities of color, women, seniors, rural folks, and others. They shut down a roundtable on race & ethnicity with a day's notice.

Is this who we are? Never mind, don’t answer that. 🫤🇺🇸

Play stupid games win stupid prizes

Today, the Texas Senate passed SB 2, a voucher scam rooted in segregation and backlash to the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court Decision. A bipartisan coalition in the House defeated vouchers last session. Make no mistake, we can do it again. www.tpr.org/education/20...

The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.
