I don’t want retribution.
I don’t want to get even.
I want a reckoning.
For everything they stole.
For everyone they murdered.
For betraying our allies.
For trampling on our values.
For protecting the Epstein class.
For placing oligarchs and mega corporations above the law.
For gaslighting the country every day.
A dispassionate, merciless reckoning.
So why did you allow Abbott to have that kind of power? You never said anything about them while he was in office, and now that he's been elected out of office, it's a catastrophe level problem.
I'll call a spade a spade. You're a hypocrite. I call on you to grow a pair. – at Bellbrook, OH
🚨 I call on Gov. Abbott to IMMEDIATELY convene a special session to REIN IN EXECUTIVE EMERGENCY POWERS… before Gina Hinojosa is sworn in!
Republicans lost last night, but Democrats were not sworn in.
We still have total power in Texas, and we must act like it by using the remaining ten weeks to restore separation of powers and limit the emergency powers that Governor-Elect Hinojosa is set to inherit, which would allow her to destroy liberty in Texas by executive fiat.
I’ve warned since I was first elected that NO governor, Republican or Democrat, should have unchecked emergency powers!
Now that Texas has elected a Democrat Governor, the urgency is undeniable… and inaction is intolerable.
Without action, Governor Hinojosa will inherit the powers of a DICTATOR.
Due to the absurd (and almost certainly unconstitutional) Texas emergency powers laws, Gov. Hinojosa will literally have the power to modify laws, ignore laws, or create and enforce laws – including criminal laws – on a whim!
Today is a day for ACTION, and bold leadership.
The Texas Legislature must immediately pass, and Governor Abbott must sign, legislation like HB911, which I filed in 2022 and warned at the time, that “Never ending emergency powers are antithetical to representative government and render people powerless. Legislative bodies allowing a single executive branch official to both write and enforce laws is the biggest threat to our constitutional system of divided government and should be opposed irrespective of which political party runs the executive branch.”
My legislation would protect liberty from executive fiat by, among other things, taking the following actions:
1. Prohibit the Governor from suspending or modifying statutes
2. Sunset emergency orders in 30 days if the legislature does not ratify the order
3. Prohibit the governor from reissuing emergency orders that expired or the legislature rejected
4. Require emergency orders to be narrowly tailored
5. Subject emergency orders to expedited judicial review
We have TEN WEEKS LEFT to protect Texas from near total Democrat rule.
I encourage every elected Republican in Texas to join my demand for Gov. Abbott to call a special session.
The future of liberty in America is literally on the line in Texas, and Texans deserve leadership that acts accordingly.

I'll explain it for you: the big cities have more people that live in them. Big cities, as a whole, are usually more liberal. Smaller, rural cities/towns have less people that are usually more conservative socially.
People are who cast the votes, not land.
Hope that helps. – at Bellbrook, OH
It always blows my mind how every major urban city in our country votes democrat...it's as if it's by design, which I believe it is. You look at the wide open spaces of Texas, they're conservative, free, and private. Major urban centers with people packed like sardines, they're liberal...I'll never understand it.

Biggest mistake democrats could do now is make Jeffrey speaker of the house and Schumer majority senate leader. BOTH are compromised. BOTH are funded by AIPAC.
OUTST THEM.
ACCOUNTABILITY MATTERS.

An elected official owes loyalty to YOU, not the other way around. I have no idea why that has gotten flipped around but it's the reason why we have at least half the problems we do.

Hi everyone. I will admit that I am about to crashout publicly.
But, I promise you it will be thoughtful,
Whether it is tasteful, that's up for debate
But it will be a controlled crash out.
Cause Chuck Schumer's Bitch Ass Gotta Go.
There's always a ton of room on the bandwagon, but if you jump on now, you better expect longtimers to be skeptical of your support. I, for one, will for sure question your loyalty.
It's Bear Down for life on this side. – at Landen, OH
I mean, I have backed him all along. You'd be hard pressed to find a single tweet where I have been critical of him. And honestly, it's because I believed him when he said we would take the North and not give it back. The grip isn't 100% yet, but it's coming.

This Bears team currently…
-has loads of young, talented playmakers that were drafted and developed
-has an elite offensive line with multiple star level players
-has role playing, roster glue guys all over the team (Jahdae Walker, Cam Lewis, Josh Blackwell, etc)
-has the best DT in football wrecking game plans
-has a DL with multiple guys that can can get home (Sweat, Dayo, Booker, etc)
-has the best nickel CB in football and two very talented rookies DB’s playing at a high level. Coby Bryant still to come…

Are we finally allowed to give Ryan Poles some credit around here?
It's Ben-ception, brother.

Just when I thought the night’s highlights were over, it got better!
Ben Johnson is wearing Ben Johnson!
I handed Kyler Gordon my Stanky Leg sticker on the field before the game. He put it ON COACH after the game.
I’m one guy making stuff for the team I love. Kyler just gave me a story I’ll tell for the rest of my life. 🐻⬇️

You guys. The Bears are about to beat the Super Bowl champs. Caleb Williams is a superstar. Recently traded for All-Pro DT Jeffery Simmons is about to get a game ball from Ben Johnson in his first game as a Bear. We’ll get what could be the best “Good Better Best” yet.
Enjoy this night, Chicago.
