Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick says Elon Musk is “one of the only people in the world” who could build Houston’s much-needed tunnel system for flood water mitigation. But Musk's Boring Company has never completed a major public project in Texas.

NEWS: Walgreens just got taken over by private equity. Private equity has a record of running companies into the ground. Walgreens could be the latest victim: closing more stores, service plummeting, workers losing their jobs, and eventually bankruptcy.
The United States, just months before its 250th birthday as the world’s leading democracy, has tipped over the edge into authoritarianism and fascism.
One of many reasons to leave Meta. Much better places to hang out.

They took the Cracker out of the barrel and Mikey Johnson adopted him. Just another day in DC.

The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?
They’re traumatizing kids.
Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He hasn't done squat to help working people. The Epstein scandal haunts him. He's a tyrant with his back against the wall, so he and his cronies are rigging elections in Texas. Understand what's going on here.
ICE’s unchecked power has turned into lawless overreach—abductions by masked agents, denial of due process, secret police tactics. Democratic leaders can stop this, but only if we demand it: bit.ly/45Umbi3
The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
Even those within the federal government are calling out the eugenics behind RFK Jr’s anti science policies. It’s a cull. Anyone who’s not “healthy” is expendable.
I do not understand why government officials resign when asked to do something bad. The resignations will no longer be treated by the public like a scandal. It’ll be out of the news within 24 hours. People should stay and force the White House to fire them. Do not make it easy.
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.

In a country full of way too many bootlickers who are only too happy to take a knee to an authoritarian… be a JB Pritzker. Stand up to tyranny. Protect the marginalized, the disabled, the immigrants and the LGBTQ+ communities. Hold the line and refuse to give in.

Just after SCOTUS granted it access to Social Security, DOGE uploaded a database containing the private information of hundreds of millions of Americans to an unsecure cloud. DOGE isn't fighting fraud — it's potentially exposing Americans to more of it. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/u...
Too bad that our legal and institutional safeguards only work to prevent good policies. It would be cool if they also stopped the evil stuff
Covid has killed upwards of 20 million people. 400 million suffer from Long COVID. It’s not over and is still causing serious harm. RFK Jr and Trump plan to ban the Covid vaccine in the US. Get your boosters now. Stock up on N95 masks & hepa filters. Protect each other!
Veteran Jay Carey lit the American flag on fire outside the White House, saying, ‘I’m doing it for every single one of you American citizens. It’s your First Amendment right to burn the American flag. No president can make a law.
Abbott is calling on Texas to ban same-day voter registration, something that’s never even been legal in the state to begin with. By framing it as a threat, he can claim victory for stopping something that never existed. We know where he learned that trick.
BOOM! 🎳 #ONEV1 #Pinks 🌸 #Voices4Victory
Fascism has festered in our nation since its inception. In slavery, in Jim Crow, in capitalism—it’s morphed to survive, to build, to dominate. But all that time, freedom has grown too; America has progressed and the world has connected. We are more ready for this than ever before. Good will win.
A president can’t just invent crimes with a pen — that’s dictatorship, not democracy.
Texas's shameless gerrymander. There are six districts (10, 11, 17, 21, 27, 31) newly shaped to deny the Austin metro area- 2 million people!- representation in DC.
Because it is unconstitutional
Retailers warned that raising wages would "force" them to raise prices and to use automated checkout. Fed min wage remained flat, but they raised prices & used automated checkout anyway. Result: Workers got even poorer as customer service plummeted while prices & profits soared.
As the president suggests that “a lot” of people have voiced support for “a dictator,” it’s hard not to wonder who, exactly, he was referring to.

It's not guaranteed in the Constitution for anyone to be able to vote. It's left to the state constitutions and each red state can take that away at any time. This may be their next move.
You know what's crazy? There have been no op-eds or editorial statements in major newspapers this year calling on Trump to resign. None calling for his impeachment. None asking if he's medically fit to be in office. Not one in any major newspaper all year. - Via Substack

🚨BREAKING: Hours after Texas passed its new map, my law firm has challenged it in federal court. In addition to violating the VRA, HB 4 violates the 14th Amendment because it unjustifiably considers race and partisanship as part of a voluntary, mid-cycle redistricting. @redistrictfdn.bsky.social
ICE agents are not wearing ‘masks’. They’re face coverings. Bandanas. Gaiters. Masks are a public health tool. They’re a form of both resistance and community care. ICE agents wear them to terrorize people & hide their identity. The rest of us wear masks to protect one another.
On Thursday, Politico published a piece titled, “Why Washington Residents Aren’t Flooding the Streets to Protest Trump." While it accurately reports that there hasn’t been anything close to a modern-day March on Washington, it misses the critical work being done by everyday locals.
CW: Sexual assault Women are being kidnapped and assaulted by men who impersonate ICE agents. This is one of many reasons why we can’t have a masked, unaccountable secret police force roaming the streets. Urge your elected officials to take action today: www.bluestatedefiance.org/no-secret-po...
Gov. Greg Abbott says he’ll “swiftly” sign info law new gerrymandered maps finalized and passed by the Texas Senate around 1AM today.

Well, looks like they passed everything and removed protestors from the gallery. The feed cut out to omit that, it would seem.
The Senate is on recess until 11:30pm, an obvious tactic to wear Senator Alvarado down before she even begins her filibuster. You can tune in here to watch her make Dan Patrick regret it when she goes well into tomorrow: senate.texas.gov/av-live.php
Remember the gerrymandering. Paxton will win, most likely. 🤮
Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:
Of course I realize. I'm probably one of those people. But if I give up hope, there's nothing left.

Masked raids are tools of fear, not freedom. Despite what this administration wants you to believe, they are not about “safety.” They are about letting ICE agents hide from accountability while carrying out inhumane acts.
This
This 👇🏾 “Why do they need masks? They’re federal officials, they’re paid by the taxpayers. They should be doing their jobs in a way that’s lawful and constitutional, and that’s part of the job.” DC Mayor Bowser questions why so many federal officers in the capital continue to cover their faces.
A federal judge ordered that no more immigrant detainees be sent to the “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center in the Florida Everglades, and that much of the facility be dismantled. The ruling rebuked the state and federal governments for failing to consider potential environmental harms.
Trump and JD Vance are vile predators who thrive on chaos. Trump’s a convicted felon, lifelong fraud, liar, loser, predator. MAGA idiots must be called out strongly. Stand up for communities, LGBTQ, and diversity—because when you don’t, they erase history and come for you.
I bet loads of people helped. And it's really how you perceive things. Look for the negative, see more negative. There's millions of people working to make things better. That's a really good thing. Don't lose hope. That's what they want and need to beat us.
Yep 👏🏻✊🏻
"The only way they can win is if they cheat." While state lawmakers bent the knee and pushed through Trump's gerrymandered maps in the Texas House, we spoke with Texans about what it means to them. Here's what they said.
Well, it just proves what the people knew already. That their reps don't care about them and will do whatever it takes to stay in power and continue to not help the people of Texas.
Git em ;)
Didn't Saint Michael whoop Satan's butt? Just saying.
13+ million empathetic people marched in protest. I'd say that's nothing to scoff at.
Umm... Abbott had the power to do something, but chose to push redistricting instead. #neverforget #texas
