new from me: as the GOP was hammering Biden for record gas prices in 2022 i wrote that the “president does not, as [Republicans] would have you believe, have a dial in the Oval Office that he uses to set gas prices.”

I want to create a browser extension that makes it impossible to publish an article about a poll unless it includes 1) dates, 2) sample size, 3) description of sample demographics, 4) margin of error, and 5) link to the poll. Perhaps even administer a minor electric shock if more than 2 are missing.
#RitziTheKitten update: growing fast, basically a pile of string beans covered in orange fur, has declared war on one of my houseplants, growls at the ceiling fan, punches me in the ankles (without using claws, thankfully) when she wants treats, very cute and snuggly ❤️🐈
The location of the plaque that was just hung, is in a place that it will not be visible to the public. While I am thankful for this first step, our lawsuit continues until they plaque is hung in accordance with the law.

Absolutely stunning how badly Texas Rs played their hand, despite years of majority control.
Redistricting seems likely to put more legislative and congressional districts in play and Talarico gets to smile while watching Cornyn and Paxton bludgeon each other for months.

So I’m with college friends at a @SisterHazelBand concert and when we get to security, the bouncer asked if we were drinking tonight and we said yes.
“Hold out your right wrist”
“You’re not going to ask us for ID?”
“Nah, y’all are going to see Sister Hazel”

It's fun to watch Ted Cruz tie the Kash Patel anchor chain around his neck like an idiot, but in between these comments he tries to defend Patel by saying that murder rates across the country has dropped and, uh, does he think the FBI is out there working local murder cases?
