Texans, remember these infamous names and faces. They wanted to overturn democracy. They must be expelled from Congress or voted out in the next election. Treason is NOT an American value. Infographic from the 1/6/21 San Antonio @ExpressNews, p. A14.

🇺🇸 I’m Colin Allred, and I’m the Democrat running for Senate against Ted Cruz. I’m counting on 50,000 supporters to endorse my campaign by 11:59 p.m. Please, will you personally endorse my campaign now and join our people-powered movement?

Fox is not bothering to explain to viewers what the indictment actually alleged: That the Mar-a-Lago employee in question received orders from Trump to destroy evidence at that location and subsequently lied to the FBI mediamatters.org/fox-news/fo…

While we wait for the Trump January 6th indictment, I do want to suggest this: Jack Smith has done more for American democracy in 8 months than the Republican Party has done in 8 years.

While Trump is on #IndictmentWatch, and Speaker McCarthy and the House GOP are literally burning down the House with their desperate and misguided attempts to impeach President Biden, the economy just won't stop growing. U.S. GDP growth accelerated to 2.4% in the second quarter. Economic growth was strong, in particular, because of the Infrastructure and Jobs Act, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act. As President Joe Biden, VP Kamala Harris, and the Democratic Party invest in America, Businesses are investing in buildings and equipment that will allow them to manufacture more goods and offer more services. Made in America: That's #Bidenomics.

Trump inquires if the child would like to have their picture taken alongside him, to which the child responds by expressing that they view him as a shameful representation to the entirety of the world. #DemVoice #wtpBLUE
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The clip is cut/edited so you cant see the actor, impersonating Trump. There is also a branding top right revealing the watermark: "Comedy Central" The President Show | Comedy Central youtube clip: Full clip can be found here: 8 May 2017: youtube.com/watch?v=ys52ek…

Tell me the Peligro balls aren't performative sitting on the bottom of the Rio Grande. Abbott spent $1M on these plastic balls. Texas teachers did not get a nickel in pay increases.

Island-hopping on a superyacht. Private jet rides around the world. The undisclosed gifts to Thomas have no known precedent in the modern history of the Supreme Court. “It’s incomprehensible to me that someone would do this,” says one former judge. propublica.org/article/clare…

A guy just posted a gofundme link to an organization I belong to because he’s fighting cancer and has run out of paid vacation and is now on unpaid FMLA. It’s unconscionable that the United States of America doesn’t provide universal health care. commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki…

Here's a nifty Texas history read about writers who have visited San Antonio. Robert Frost, Oscar Wilde and many others have ventured to the Alamo City over the years. Some wonderful quotes here: texashighways.com/culture/li… @TexasHighways

Read the latest @nytimes story (w/@jdavidgoodman and @edjsandoval ) about the border crackdown that Texas says is necessary to deter crossings but which critics (including several state police officers, we report) say is inhumane. 3/4 nytimes.com/2023/07/19/us/te…

Remember this young police officer, Daniel Hodges, who was crushed in doors to the Capitol and viciously assaulted on Jan 6? The insurrectionist who did this to him, Steven Cappuccio, 53, of Universal City, Texas, was CONVICTED in a bench trial yesterday. Sentencing date Oct 19.
