Crenshaw did lost, but Roy didn’t run for re-election
for Congress; he’s in a run off for Texas Attorney General, a seat that opened up bc TX AG Ken Paxton is running for Cornyn’s senate seat and is in a run-off with him.

A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

John Roberts' wife is not the only Supreme Court spouse to shake down people with business before the court to give bribes. Ginni Thomas has a "consulting firm" (AKA a PO Box for checks) to funnel money to Clarence. #Corruption

This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.

We are spending billions to keep our entire navy in the Strait to fecklessly fail to open a waterway that wasn’t closed until Trump’s pointless war of choice closed it.

He’s just burning your tax money.

Photo shows a heap of older style phones with the text “Planned obsolescence is now outlawed in France. It is a crime to intentionally reduce the lifespan of a product to force customers to replace it.”

Love France 🇫🇷 They understand the importance of the battery life of a Nokia 3310

Clears it up a lot.

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.

WE Pay for

The DoD spent over $93 billion in a single month, a record. That included $6.9M on lobster tails, $2M on king crab, $15.1M on ribeye, $1M on salmon, $139K on doughnuts and $124K on ice cream. Meanwhile, troops got carrots, old beef, and a fried boot.

This is what happens when you have an incompetent fool with no experience in charge of the Pentagon. Pete likes to put on makeup and appear on camera, boasting about war and its warriors, while essential tasks, like making sure those warriors are fed, are not seen as flashy enough to bother with.

Hegseth Borrows Violent Prayer from ‘Pulp Fiction’ to Bless Iran War at April Pentagon Worship Service For the second month in a row, Pete Hegseth, who likes to call himself “secretary of war,” read a violent prayer — that echoes a scene in the Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction — during a worship ser...

what’s funny about this is that tarantino wrote this “ezekiel 25:17“ for the film. it isn‘t actually in the bible. publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/hegseth-bo...

Have I mentioned that I kind of love that just war theory is *the* hot topic of conversation these days?

Breaking News: A jury found that Live Nation, which owns Ticketmaster, operated as a monopoly in violation of federal and state antitrust laws. nyti.ms/4mwlmE1

Dear god. Very, very serious allegations of mass civil rights violations at the State of Florida's Everglades immigration detention center (officially known as "Alligator Alcatraz").

JD Vance, who is using a new book about his religion to promote his political ambitions, says religion should stay out of politics.

You first.

4 women raised their voices & forced Dems to remove Swalwell from office.

Despite 27 women credibly accusing Trump of sexual assault, his name in the Epstein files 1M+ times & being found guilty of raping E Jean Carroll, DeSantis continues to stand by Trump. Every MAGA accusation is a confession.

Fluoride in drinking water has no effect on IQ or brain function, a long-term study shows.

The new research is the first to measure community water fluoridation exposure during childhood and any potential impact on cognition up to age 80.

The results contradict RFK Jr. statements.

Not feeling good about giving my hard earned money to the oligarchs, to fund illegal & unnecessary "wars,"or fund any of this admin's crooked schemes.
Not at all 'good.'

You know what's really embarrassing about this conflict? Iran has a 90 percent literacy rate while 50 per cent of the US reads at the 6th grade level or below. Iran sent Phds to the ceasefire talks. The US sent realtors.

ICE DETENTION FOR PROFIT

🚨Respect and thanks to Representatives Yassamin Ansari, Greg Stanton, and Adelita Grijalva for their unannounced visit to an ICE detention center with disgusting conditions, that tried to pull a fast one.

People need to be prosecuted for this.

Texas gubernatorial candidate Gina hinojosa speaks to a full house

Meanwhile, in Houston, gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa is talking about Greg Abbott trafficking people into Texas’s private prisons and detention centers so that his donors will profit, and I really appreciate her for it.
