The Texas Medical Board has reprimanded the doctors involved in the deaths of Neveah Crain and Porsha Ngumezi, both of whom were denied critical care as their doctors tried to accommodate Texas' ban on abortion:

βWhen the Democrats were in charge, they didnβt make all of my dreams come true with a snap of the fingers. So, Iβm voting for third-party candidates and if that means the Republican remain in charge, Iβm OK with that.β

OH MY GOD!!!! THIS IS SO AWESOME!
Today outside the Immigration Detention Center in Dilley, I stood with community leaders alongside Gina Hinojosa, Vikki Goodwin, and fellow moms, and what we saw and felt is something no one should accept as normal. Children do not belong in detention centers, full stop. #txlege
Child: I know your name. Mamdani.
Obama: Whatβs his first name?
Child: Mayor.
Can we stop eating our own? In the past weβve failed to engage young voters. Why? Because they donβt relate to Grandpa. We saw the largest turnout of young voters in decades in the primary. βWeβve always done it this way!β (Gilberto Hinojosa) didnβt work! Letβs keep moving forward!
@texastribune.org TX Dβs who arenβt former disgruntled staffers are grateful for the great work being done by @kendallscudder.bsky.social & the current TDP staffers. We donβt hide behind anonymous. The previous state party chair/his staff left the org in debt & minus key voting groups.
Itβs time to restore religious freedom. You have the right to practice the religion of your choice or none at all. Government should not be dictating what religion you practice. Time for leadership that believes in maintaining this essential principle. #Goodwin4texas

You need to see this.
Raise your hand if you were shocked to find out that your social security is taxable. ππ»ββοΈ Iβve paid into SS & Medicare since I was 15 years old. I pay every month for Medicare & supplemental health insurance. My SS is not enough to live off of. Trumpβs Big Beautiful Bill helped Billionaires.
Today is Tax Day.
This year, nearly every American will pay more in taxes β except for billionaires.
For 50 years, billionaires have bought politicians to rewrite the tax code in their favor. Hereβs how:
Just look at business tax write-offs, a rule originally meant to help small business owners cover basic costs like office space or travel.
But billionaires take advantage of write-offs in ways the rest of us canβt.
Oil heiress Phyllis Taylor wrote off her own companyβs oil spill and paid zero federal income taxes.
Campbell Soup heiress Charlotte Weber wrote off Kentucky Derby racehorses and used the losses to drive down her federal tax bills.
Elon Muskβs $78 million private jet? He can write that off. Jeff Bezosβ $500 million mega-yacht? He can write that off, too.
Itβs a scam.
This is why billionaires buy politicians β to rewrite the rules and rig the system for themselves.
Every tax dollar a billionaire writes off on their yacht is a tax dollar that has to come from you.
It doesn't have to be this way.
We can limit the influence of billionaires in our politics and make them pay their fair share so we can start cutting OUR taxes.
βBlessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.β
Victor OrbΓ‘nβs removal sends a timely signal.
Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today β just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November.
It was repudiated abroad β may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).
