Of all the photos posted by the Strib related to the shooting at Annunciation Church, this was the one that got me the most. Maybe because we cant see the (presumably) mom’s face, so it seems more universal? arc.stimg.co/startribunem...?

An image from the aftermath of the shooting at Annunciation Church in Minneapolis. In the foreground is a woman running in the middle is a street. She is running away from the camera, towards a school in the background. She has her wallet in her hands, and also her shoes, which she presumably took off so she could run faster. You can see the bottom of one of her feet, and dirt is visible (again, presumably from running barefoot).

Virginia Giuffre’s family denounces “DAG Todd Blanche’s bizarre interview” of Ghislaine Maxwell in a statement. www.allrisenews.com/p/maxwell-tr...

As the family of one of the most prominent survivors, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, we are outraged. The content of these transcripts is in direct contradiction with felon Ghislaine Maxwell’s conviction for child sex trafficking. During DAG Todd Blanche’s bizarre interview, she is never challenged about her court-proven lies, providing her a platform to rewrite history. This travesty of justice entirely invalidates the experiences of the many brave survivors who put their safety, security, and lives on the line to ensure her conviction, including our sister By moving convicted felon Maxwell to a minimum security, country club prison, the DOJ sends a disturbing message that child sex trafficking is acceptable and will be rewarded. The Department of Justice serves the people of the United States. We continue to call upon the DOJ to do its job by investigating and holding accountable the many rich and powerful people who enabled Ghislaine Maxwell’s and Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.

That’s my point, most of them have more than one job. Texas legislators make $7,200 annually, not including per diem. They have to work other jobs.

Bait and switch politics a la Abbott. Say you want to work on flood reform and relief. Then push redistricting and only redistricting.

If you “needed” to, could you drop everything, leave the state, hole up somewhere, indefinitely? Do you not have responsibilities to your family, job, home? Originally you said “as long as possible.” For the ones who returned, other priorities brought them back. Responsibilities other than politics.

Abbott has up to $70 million in emergency budget authority. He can release the funding no matter what Dems are doing. He doesn’t need approval. But he can’t hand Trump five more districts on his own. Flood relief should have been the first and only item.
