Now would be a good time to remind everyone of these Trump facts, because apparently some people still need the refresher. Please meet the President of the United States: Flew on Epstein’s plane at least seven times. Just friends, I guess. Pleaded the Fifth more than 400 times in a single deposition. Nothing says “innocent” like refusing to answer a single question about your own business. 34 felony convictions. A record most people would call disqualifying. And 91 criminal charges. Accused of sexual misconduct or assault by at least 26 women. But sure, tell me again how he’s a great guy. 6 corporate bankruptcies. The self proclaimed greatest businessman alive somehow keeps running out of money. 5 draft deferments. Funny how the toughest guy in the room never actually showed up for duty. 4 criminal indictments. Not two. Not three. Four. 2 impeachments. A club of exactly one president. 2 of his own companies convicted of criminal tax fraud. Convicted. Not accused. Convicted. 1 fake university shut down. 1 fake charity shut down. Even his charity was a grift. Paid 25 million dollars to settle the Trump University fraud lawsuit because scamming people who believed in you costs money eventually. Ordered to pay 5 million dollars in the first E Jean Carroll sexual abuse verdict, then hit with 83.3 million more in the second. A jury said it twice so nobody could pretend it was a fluke. Ordered to pay 2 million dollars for looting his own so called charity. Stealing from a charity with his own name on it. Found liable for business fraud and originally slapped with a penalty topping 450 million dollars, later thrown out on appeal while the fraud finding itself stuck to him anyway. First president in modern history to increase the deficit every single year of a full term. Fiscal responsibility, apparently, was always just a talking point. Kept the debt to GDP ratio above 100 percent for his entire first term. Presided over the largest single day point drop in Dow Jones history at the time. So much for the guy who claimed to be a genius with money. Set the record for the longest government shutdown in US history in his first term at 35 days, then couldn’t resist beating his own miserable record in his second term with a 43 day shutdown, followed by yet another shutdown just months later. Encore nobody asked for. Added roughly 2.25 trillion dollars to the national debt in his first year back in office alone, pushing the debt past 39 trillion dollars. Somebody remind me who the party of fiscal discipline is again. Pushed through the largest defense budget increase since World War Two while the debt kept climbing anyway. Purged more than 300,000 federal employees in his first year back. Efficient, if your goal is chaos. Pardoned nearly 1,600 January 6 Capitol rioters. At least 40 of those pardoned rioters have already been rearrested, charged, or sentenced for new crimes since walking free. Shocking absolutely nobody. His family’s crypto ventures, including a meme coin and World Liberty Financial, pulled in more than 1.4 billion dollars in disclosed earnings while he sat in the Oval Office. Draining the swamp was apparently code for filling his own pockets. Sent the National Guard into American cities at a cost of nearly 500 million taxpayer dollars in 2025 alone. His own tariffs are projected to cost the average American household more than 2,500 dollars this year. You’re paying for this. Not China. You. No more foreign wars. Peace deal with Russia and Ukraine on Day One. None of this is a conspiracy theory, a rumor, or something you saw in a group chat. It is the actual, documented record, sitting in plain sight for anyone willing to look. So the next time someone tells you to relax and give him a chance, ask them how many more indictments, judgments, and shutdown records he needs to rack up before that chance runs out.

Under Greg Abbott’s leadership, more than 170 Texas public schools have closed in the last three years alone. For the sake of our children, Greg Abbott needs to go.

It just got much worse. He was a 33-year-old married father. He had never done that stunt before. Whomever decided this was a good idea should face disciplinary action. Our troops are not props. I feel terrible for his wife and kids.

Traffic Alert (Dallas) Dallas PD is on scene of a person in distress at I20 and I45. All lanes are closed in this area. It’s best to totally avoid this interchange until the situation is resolved.

She was drunk, so you question her judgment. He was drunk, so you excuse his crime. Funny how alcohol makes women responsible and men innocent.

Voters are facing 2.5-hour lines and 45-minute walks to get to the polls. Why? Because Republicans slashed early voting sites. In Tarrant County, where a Republican judge approved cutting 92 polling sites, some voters have needed medical attention after waiting in the Texas heat. Republicans are doing everything they can to make it harder for you to vote. Make a voting plan, bring snacks and water and vote as early as you can. Follow Democracy Docket for the latest news ahead of the midterms.

This is probably the single best Two minute clip I have seen in a long time. Anderson Cooper, who is gay, making fun of how gay Donald Trump is. And I will repeat. There’s nothing wrong with being gay. The problem is hypocrisy.

BREAKING: A federal judge just restricted Trump's Department of Homeland Security from election-related investigations in nine states — finding that error-prone government lists could sweep U.S. citizens into the effort.

Your daddy Abbott gave you $200k that we know of. You are literally funded by the establishment (& by data center developers!)
A year and a half ago, Clayton Tucker and I entered this race from opposite sides of the political aisle, but with one thing in common: We both believed the current Ag Commissioner was corrupt and we needed to clean house at the TDA (see video for Clayton's own words). Fast forward to today, and Clayton is standing shoulder to shoulder with Sid Miller, the very politician we both set out to replace, and embracing his so-called "legacy." Think about that. After more than a decade of scandals, ethics violations, questionable judgment, and a culture of political favoritism at the Department of Agriculture, Clayton Tucker has decided to make common cause with the man responsible for leading it. This is the same Sid Miller whose longtime political consultant pleaded guilty to commercial bribery involving the sale of state hemp licenses, and whom Miller subsequently hired as his chief of staff. The same Sid Miller who faced ethics penalties over his use of public funds and campaign accounting. The same Sid Miller who hiked fees on farmers and ranchers, millions of dollars over what he claimed he needed money for. The same Sid Miller who led the Texas school lunch program to 44TH IN THE NATION. Texans deserve better than political alliances built around personal grudges and protecting the old guard. Clayton can call this partnership whatever he wants. But Texans can see what's happening. I didn't run against Sid Miller just to inherit his political machine. I ran to change the way the Department of Agriculture operates, restore integrity, and put Texas farmers, ranchers, and families first. You don't change the status quo by joining it. Texas voted for a new direction in March. I'm not backing down from delivering it. #txlege

A second Democratic sheriff on @GregAbbott_TX’s endorsement list says he did not endorse the governor. Val Verde Sheriff Joe Frank Martinez’s statement:
The endorsement of Webb County Sheriff Martin Ceullar has been removed from @GregAbbott_TX's campaign website. Sheriff Ceullar, the brother of U.S. Rep. Henry Ceullar (D-Laredo), was indicted by the DOJ earlier this year for allegedly defrauding his office during COVID-19.

We are seeing RECORD Black turnout across the south. The racist republicans in congress and our courts have made a terrible mistake, and Black voters will lead the charge to vote them out and hold them accountable!

BREAKING: The Trump regime has attempted to hack voting machines. This is beyond alarming, with only two weeks to go before the most important midterm election in U.S. history. Trump appointees asked the federal cybersecurity agency CISA to secretly acquire a voting machine and hack it. (Source: ProPublica)
