The House Speaker decides if the next Congress can be seated, whoever certifies an election decides who the winner of the election is, and the Supreme Court can overrule anything at any time, so long as the winner of the 2016 presidential election agrees. This is basic stuff, U.S. Constitution 101.

"proper football weather" is this a crisp autumn day or London rain [laughter] it's good weather sir buys a ticket it's rain

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress.

There are two kinds of lane changers in Austin, the one that doesn't signal and you don't even know they want to change lanes until they gun it to convey they're pissed at you, and the one that signals like they want to change lanes yet remains in their lane alongside you matching your speed exactly

'Simplistic syllogisms with little connection to empirical reality' are kind of OK if they are indeed based on 'banal truisms.' They might rise to the level of moral edification. Unfortunately, if you aren't able to do more than simplistic syllogisms, it's tough to figure out what's a banal truism.

Libertarianism as an intellectual project, especially by the years that fusionism was on its last legs, was just a very insular set of groups all talking mainly with one another, living in a structure artificially propped up by big big money. It lacked the discipline of a larger audience.

"You cannot criminally charge Musk for investing in Skydance. But he has committed many, many crimes. Quite frankly, he should be target number one for congressional investigations and a 2029 DOJ prosecution. He is the perfect confluence of guilt, importance, and unpopularity."

People are excited for the @liberalcurrents.com election night livestream, but I want to warn you that we WILL have a needle. We'll be checking in on this throughout the evening

Curtains for K-Pax? Thomas J. Henry flipping support

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

Tell me what perfunctory errands you ran on the same trip when you did the voting!

I needed to know what day the semester ends at my own university; it only took me a web search and 8 separate clicks to find

Had a good time with the Liberal Currents Live crew today, as good a time as you can have in the last two weeks before an American election, anyway— www.youtube.com/live/vJMZvym...

We should elect @ginafortexas.bsky.social.

Stack it

Whatever sport SGA plays, with rules I do not understand, is also back

Even if so, our investigators are all tied up with urgent business at Ilhan Omar's house

Basketball's back and it's never been easier

They will merely waste a small amount of their own time

I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...

We should elect @ginafortexas.bsky.social.

These same shady people have tried something like this every single election for as long as I've lived here.
