Spoke at the @texasdemocrats.bsky.social convention last night. My message: the six Bs (bosses, bankers, billionaires, big shots, bastards, bullshitters) have been running roughshod over us. We're not fire hydrants, and we're gonna show them that come November.

On Sept. 16, 2024, Emily Waldorf’s daughter found her curled on the floor, bleeding during a dangerous miscarriage at 17 weeks pregnant.
Waldorf and her husband rushed to an Arkansas hospital, expecting emergency care.
Instead, doctors said they could not intervene under the state’s abortion ban.

There is just no precedent in recent world history of an advanced industrialized country sabotaging its own scientific establishment, and destroying the base of scientific knowledge necessary for basic policymaking. An avowedly, actively anti-knowledge regime.
Head of NASA Sean Duffy intends to destroy a satellite that collects key data on carbon dioxide and plant health, by causing it to burn up in the atmosphere. The U.S. Dept of Agriculture and private agriculture firms use the data to forecast crop yield, drought conditions and more.
Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purpose
The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.

It has been brought to our attention that some sections of Article 1 are missing from the Constitution Annotated (constitution.congress.gov) website. We’ve learned that this is due to a coding error. We have been working to correct this and expect it to be resolved soon.
