One thing Texas has going for it is our progress in large-scale wind and solar projects and now Dan Friedkin (man child billionaire) has decided to destroy the entire sector. He donated heavily to a Texas Senator’s campaign so she crammed his bill through the Senate and now it’s off to the House🤬

They’re not “deporting” people, they’re kidnapping them and sending them to foreign prisons. Concentration camps. They’re paying these countries to imprison humans. It’s human trafficking.

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

The attorney for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who was accidentally deported to El Salvador, says that him and the family have not been able to contact him and don't know his current condition. Absolutely unacceptable! Bring him HOME!

If Kristi Noem can go down to El Salvador and take concentration camp selfies, then DOJ can figure out where Abrego Garcia is. Just start jailing people for contempt of court until they find out.

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

Per @hissgoescobra.bsky.social "Evidence suggests that the Russians are using American satellite imagery to target Ukraine in long-range strikes. At the same time that Ukrainians are cutoff from even commercial US satellite imagery such as Maxar (by the way, f*ck you Maxar)."

The truth of January 6th can't be erased. Watch the pardoned criminals brutally attacking police inside the Capitol and see what some call 'patriotism.' No spin, just facts. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/revisiting...

My hope is that the convicted and soon to be sentenced felon’s immeasurable incompetence is primarily contained in his own implosion. However, for four years I will live again in constant anxiety hoping he doesn’t decimate our lives.

Alexander Smirnov's prison sentence should be a bigger political story: The impeachment crusade against Biden was based on this guy's lies to the FBI, making his downfall, as @chrislhayes.bsky.social put it, "the most spectacular embarrassment imaginable" for the GOP. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
