Also, if anything would get SA to invoke their defense pact with Pakistan it would be that.

He somehow won the R's primary on an 80-20 split. Our side is a nice, old, competent woman. It'll somehow end as a 50-50 race b/c we're insane.

The only source I’ve seen say it was unarmed was an ret’d Indian Foreign Service officer; none of the Indian Navy sources are saying it was unarmed.

Hard Disagree. Seeing $4 gas at the gas stations nearest the Beaumont/Houston refineries when we are used to $1.8-2.2 will break East Texans' minds. Us younger generations have never seen prices that high. I doubt the bonuses from the windfall will make up for it.

He’s literally not. He’s also running to protect his GenZ daughters’ right to make their own decisions about their healthcare. Yes he’s concerned abt the debt; but most of the township is mgmt with stock portfolios not labor with pensions.

Al Green is running in Sheila Jackson Lee’s old seat. She was born in ‘50 & died in office, and was followed by her daughter & then by Sylvester Turner. He was born in ‘54 & died in office. Al Green was born in 1947! We can’t have another rep die in office! It’s time for Christian Menefee.

Her post is 22 tokens of text by gpt-5's tokenizer, which feeds into a system w/ a 400,000 token context window. If the LLM can handle it why can't you?

Look at LizaLou's post. The statement in contention in this sub-thread is a wish that "Democrats were half as liberal as Ike," not the quotes in Ike's Farewell Address.

I want Democrats to be as liberal as FDR, JFK & LBJ -- not Ike on his last day in office!

Maybe the part where Eisenhower overthrew an Iranian government in 1953???

Would something like Federal Project One for journalism help do you think?

It’s from the Dallas Fed. Which is either better or worse depending on how you think abt it.

Federal One branding would hit wonderfully in the modern aesthetic

NEH grant revocations.

Real IDs won't be enough under the SAVE Act. You'll need an Enhanced Real ID, (only available if your state has opted in) else, you'll need a passport

Real ID won’t be valid under the SAVE act unless you have the enhanced version from the border states.

former C-suite at Republic Air, the owner of Republic Airways & Mesa Airways; operator for a bunch of regional airlines. This guy fully knew what he was doing & how badly this would screw with domestic regional traffic.

Right. The thing is “mediocre campaigner“ would have been objectively true abt Allred but phrasing as black man vs black woman makes it abt identity/personhood in a way that rubs ppl The wrong way.

Not a journalist. A political content creator/influencer who was in his content affiliate network and has now left over this.

You are not a Texan. Texans love our HEB. Charles is the current CEO of HEB, & is a model of what American business should be. He has swung into politics as a staunch defender of public schools, against Abbott's charter school push. He may not be a Democrat but, he's not comparable to Adelson.

She's not an AUSA, she's an immigration court attorney on secondment. Her options where she has experience are the ICE side of immigration court or the migrant side of immigration court; neither of those sound particularly lucrative to me, but IANAL

She put in her resignation but stayed till they could find a replacement. She was fired after this.

They literally tried to make a unified slate b/w Allred, Beto & Talarico, but they couldn’t agree on who should run for governor.

That’s just not how TX’s House delegation works in practice. We have a limited number of safe Dem seats, no swing seats, no one gets promoted till seniors leave. Crockett got her seat b/c Eddie Bernice Johnson retired prior to her death. Al Green refuses to make way for Menefee in TX-18 right now!

I think it does deny it but ambiguously, not explicitly. The statement says he characterized Allred‘s campaign as mediocre, but not his life & accomplishments. That said, I definitely understand reading it as weasel words and that he did say it and is trying to not lie about it.

I think there is something to be said for a soft embrace of the Trump2024 voters now that they touched the stove and burned us all. That strategy would probably require a kind of CareBears-meets-West-Wing energy & that is what Talarico is giving us.

Crockett come ups B/c the allegation was made by a creator who left the Talarico creator network (in part over this incident) & has now joined the Crockett network. She said the encounter happened on 1/12 & she published on 2/1.

A yield sign

But you and I both know that won't give him what he needs psychologically to succeed. He needs to own it outright.
