Please don't send us AI-generated stories. This age of taking credit for something you didn't do is such a pain. We will now have Zoom calls with all writers we consider accepting. And we will delay payment to avoid paying bad actors. This bullshit.

James Talarico is hosting a statewide grocery drive for middle class Texans during Republicans’ midterm convention.
Tickets to the convention cost $20,000.
Talarico collected over 20,000 pounds of groceries.

If you’re furious about Mamdani attending a 9/11 memorial but perfectly fine with Trump lying about being rescued from the rubble at Ground Zero. Congratulations, you’re in a cult.

I agreed to 3 debates over a month ago.
You declined every single one.
You love to talk tough on Fox. Say it to me on the debate stage.
The media refuses to cover Talarico’s record as a Socialist Democrat, but make no mistake we are going to make sure Texans know who he is.
He will be California’s third Senator and we need your help to make sure that doesn’t happen. Go to KenPaxton.com to donate today.

We are literally the laughing stock of the world for electing this moron….. and his low iq administration….. and the jackass podcasters and celebrities that pushed for him to get elected.
The BIGGEST grift and money grab this country has ever seen.

.@JamesTalarico on Texas officially banning THC:
“This bill is insane.
Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. Texans will still use THC — but instead of getting it safely from a local small business, they’ll go back to getting it from the black market. From the drug cartels.
This ban is a gift to the cartels.
We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst.
Instead of fully funding our schools, guaranteeing healthcare, or making childcare more affordable — this Legislature is focused on banning a product that gives people a little peace.
We’re making people’s lives harder, not easier.
I want to leave you with a quote: ‘It is time to end needless arrests and incarcerations of adults for small amounts of marijuana for personal use.’ That wasn’t a Democrat. That was President Donald Trump.
To my Republican colleagues, I’m asking you to oppose the cartels, stand with President Trump, and vote no on this insane bill.”

Tonight Trump will re-litigate the 2020 election.
Why?
In support of his SAVE act, which is actually a Voter Suppression Act.
This is a Hail Mary effort to keep his corrupt power grab from being swamped by a blue wave in November.

We went from “the humanities are utterly pointless” to “suddenly, no one can read” in the span of about a year.

Evangeline Lilly has called out Disney for being “disgusting and horrible” after they laid off almost all of Marvel's visual development team.
“SHAME ON YOU for turning your back on the people who built the power you are now using to throw them away.”

Calling Trump a Tyrant Is Not a Call to Violence
Conservatives want to police how we talk about Trump—while excusing how the president talks about everyone else theatlantic.com/politics/202…

Trump’s EPA has rolled back regulations governing clean air, water, wildlife, and toxic chemicals.
He’s pushed to open public lands to drilling and mining.
And he’s gutted clean energy programs while promoting dirty fossil fuels.
He’s a danger to our planet and our health.

“AI l cannot coexist with education - it can only degrade it.”
Incredibly powerful piece from students at the University of Pennsylvania.

McCarthy: drops an all-time banger of a sentence. Old monosyllabic words afforded a spiritual dimension by a beautiful tweak of conventional syntax. A sentence that rings like a gong.
Nytimes: It's clunky because there should be a comma in there somewhere.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.
It means more power for them and less freedom for you.
