Terrell, TX. A small red town 30 miles east of Dallas but it lies in the fastest growing county in the US, Kaufman. In 1892, it was a sundown town that prohibited African Americans from living there. Now home to a private historically black college, Southwestern Christian College. And …

500 infected.... You have epically failed at protecting Texans @gregabbottx.bsky.social

Defiantly moronic.

“He told agents they had the wrong guy, but they aggressively ordered him to get on the ground. They didn’t allow him to show ID to prove he’s a citizen and instead they grabbed him, put him face down on the pavement, handcuffed him and took out his wallet.” www.mlive.com/news/ann-arb...

If the tariffs don't get reversed soon, the price increases will become permanent, and they will be used as an excuse by corporations to justify price gouging. It's already started for products that were received BEFORE tariffs were put into place.

How do you show up in court as the attorney for the federal government & then tell a judge you don’t know anything? Why bother to show up at all?

Eisen: Donald Trump has removed my security clearance three times. I don't know if it is a mental capacity thing and he just forgets that he did it, or if he takes it away and then when he loses again, he says, turn it back on so I can feel better about all of the losing.
