  1. You know that trooper got some ribbing when he got back to the Capitol.
  2. Texas 34 OSU 16 Arch total 286
  3. Or maybe beat some sense into them? Not sure they can lack anymore sense than they do now.
  4. So I have finally secured a date and time for our AMA with new TDP Chair Scudder. It will be at 8:30 PM the night of Wed, Sept. 3. I am waiting for Imamac to suggest something other than Zoom to use, but if nothing else, we'll have a Zoom with him and you folks can ask/suggest what you want.
  5. That's Bobby Cole. He is for real. He is running for Governor, and right now there don't seem to be many stepping up. I have met him and he is very genuine. Not sure how far he will get, but he's talking the talk anyway. https://www.coleforgovernor.com/ Christopher and Mendi Tackett have been fighting this nastiness here in Texas for several years now. It's White Christian Nationalism behind Project 2025 and the redistricting. And the uber wealthy are using those WCN people to promoite terror and division in order to keep us at each other's throats instead of theirs. https://gobehindtheballot.com/what-is-christian-nationalism-and-how-is-it-undermining-democracy-with-mendi-tackett-culture-wars
  6. This is exactly how we got Allred vs Gutierrez last go around. They tell state parties not to endorse, but then put their thumbs on scales all over the place.
  7. These numbers are skewed because they represent how people voted, but don't take into account how many would vote if they felt their districts were established fairly. And also in the smaller rural counties they vote Red because that's the only party that has candidates, usually. Plus I am betting the return of services per dollar is greater in a lot of those blue states.
  8. Why isn't Johnson a bitcoin billionaire by now?
  9. She's probably already been recruited by a country that gives a shit about higher education.
  10. Actually most of them aren't independently wealthy. Talarico for example is a school teacher by trade. There are some lawyers and medical professionals, but by and large they don't have the wealth of their counterpart Republicans. Gerrymandering has huge implications on winning more seats. That and the aforementioned voter suppression, but in general I can see how people think that the Dems of Texas got comfortable losing. It takes a lot to change perceptions that were 30 years in the building, but we are trying...or some of us are. Yes, I just messaged Imma to see what his suggestions are for which platform to use. I am shooting for 8/14 at 8 pm, but that is contingent to what is going on with the special session.
  11. From what I gathered, there was an over-reporting of missing intially. Anybody who couldn't get into contact with loved ones right away reported them as missing. They later went on to clear up the missing vs dead boards and cleared a lot of the missing.
  12. If anything, he's getting kickbacks from some of the contractors, if not all of them. Would love to see the budget for that project, as well as the list of final bidders awarded the jobs. That last guy on the video states that the low numbers are excusable due to the confusion and reticence around the trade wars and tariffs. They know what the causes are, but are too cowardly to step up and point fingers.
  13. If you want to make comment: https://comments.house.texas.gov/home?c=c055 “Texas taxpayers should not be forced to foot the bill for a special session just to redraw maps that were already declared fair and legal by the very people who now want to change them. If nothing material has changed — no new census, no court ruling — then what is this really about? The explanation offered, a vague letter, is not justification for upending the democratic map-drawing process again. This is not about fairness; it’s about keeping political control.”
  14. How much longer until we see a proposal for a DC Colloseum? Complete with the Trump Games using immigrants and liberals as the lion bait.
