If they were being honest, Texas leaders used to frown at Washington interfering in our decisions. Now the Governor is kissing the ring- it’s a sad day for local control and the people who deserve the FAIR chance to elect people of their choice! #nogerrymandering #resist
Coming to you live from the UofH Texas House congressional redistricting hearing with Congresswoman @jasmineforus.bsky.social! This fight isn’t easy, but the Congresswoman reminds us: if we don’t stand up, they’ll keep walking all over us. I’ll be back with more updates. #Houston #txlege

There are some valid reasons to grant 'proffer' immunity to an already-convicted person, e.g. to obtain information helpful to other prosecutions. Doing it to try to absolve the President of his sex crimes while dangling a pardon for the convicted is not one of them.
2/ Now confirmed in reporting: "Ghislaine Maxwell was granted limited immunity to talk to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, according to a source familiar the arrangement." www.cnn.com/politics/liv...

The first rule of homelessness policy is that it must be cruel. The second rule is that it must be expensive. The current GOP idea is to move from "spend a lot so cops, paramedics, and ERs can shuffle them around" to "spend a lot to put them in jail." God forbid we just provide basic shelter.
Again we see the incoherence of right-wing policy. Rounding up homeless people and imprisoning them *is* housing them! Punitive solutions to this problem also cost a shitload and require a massive bureaucracy. They are fine with providing housing, but only if it is ineffective and dehumanizing.

"We establish no religion in this country, we command no worship, we mandate no belief. Nor will we ever. Church and State are, and must remain, separate." --President Ronald Reagan, whom I usually never quote
BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.
