Nothing says that @ReElectDAKimOgg is a Republican more than her pulling a page from the Donald Trump playbook and claiming that she was cheated in the election before the results are even in.

Bernie Sanders endorses Biden— “His decision suggests that the progressive wing of the Democratic Party will ultimately unify behind Biden…” NO. Progressives have been spit on, stomped on, disrespected. We ARE NOT responsible for the GOP winning‼️ abcnews.go.com/Politics/wire…

This is the flip side of all the demagoguery about bail by Kim Ogg and her GOP enablers: Excessive incarceration has its own costs/negative consequences and the Harris County jail is presently bursting at the seams. nytimes.com/2022/11/22/us/ja…

The Rittenhouse trial is fixed. He will get off. Every time the prosecutor makes a point or traps Rittenhouse in a lie, the judge intervenes to stop him. This is one of the most egregious examples of the lack of equal justice in this country that I have witnessed.

Just out: My #exclusive @NYTmag cover story on ex-#FBI agent @TerryAlbury and the long and painful impact of the #WarOnTerror nytimes.com/2021/09/01/magaz…

‘I Helped Destroy People’ (Published 2021)

Terry Albury, an idealistic F.B.I. agent, grew so disillusioned by the war on terror that he was willing to leak classified documents — and go to prison for doing it.

Middle class Texans pay MORE in state taxes than Californians. What do we have to show for it?
Matthew Sheffield@mattsheffield23 May 2021
Texas has so many additional taxes that its burden is actually higher than California's for middle-class people. California's taxes on rich people are significantly higher than Texas. That's actually why GOP commentators whine about CA taxes bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Important to note that @TCOLE could not legally decertify Broderick's license after he resigned last year amidst child molestation allegations. State law says he must be fired, not once but TWICE, before losing his license. #txlege statesman.com/story/news/202…
