- "The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand."
- Don't particularly like Hogg's style and I'm not sure it's the political hill I'd die on, but if the DNC removes him, it could possibly, just maybe, be the thing that gets me to leave this ossified party that loses a lot more than it wins
- In a sane world, this would turn every military veteran against the Trump administration
- This is such beta shit
- Blue states should respond by passing laws that make this illegal. In other words, if Texas AG Ken Paxton tries to charge a Texas resident for an abortion they had in Illinois, then Ken Paxton has broken an Illinois law and gets arrested if he travels to Illinois. Limit their freedom of movement.
- The Texas AG making it clear he'll look to criminalize abortions even if they're happening outside of Texas: "it does not matter if the travel and hotel are in Albuquerque or Austin" boltsmag.org/texas-1925-a...
- Man, so weird how everything was fine with air traffic control until Donald Trump and Elon Musk got involved
- In 2023, Texas Governor Greg Abbott flew unwanted Mexican and Central American asylum seekers to Chicago. Tomorrow, he'll welcome a flight of refugees from South Africa. Can anyone spot the difference.
- An elected official accepting a 747 from a foreign country is so flamboyantly illegal that any news outlet characterizing it as "controversial" or "an ethical issue" should be ignored, have their subscriptions canceled and their reporters banned as TV pundits forever. This isn't close.
- President Trump is replacing Air Force One with a Qatari luxury jet sent as a bribe
- Almost like modern business is designed to extract wealth from customers regardless of quality, by any means necessary, rather than to create beloved, useful products and services in exchange for money
