From a verified voter in Mason, TXTHIS IS WHAT THEY REALLY THINK ABOUT EPSTEIN VICTIMS. NOT MUCH
In case anyone needs verification of just how slimy politics is… A number of survivors of Jeffrey Epstein released a statement Tuesday condemning two Republican senators who they say refused to meet with them before caving to Donald Trump’s attorney general pick. John Cornyn and Thom Tillis annou
From a verified voter in Killeen, TXAs contractors continue pouring into Big Bend and communities across South and West Texas, billions of American tax dollars are being spent to destroy American land. This has gone beyond a policy disagreement. It has gone beyond a crisis. It is becoming an irreversible tragedy. Congress has the cons
From a verified voter in Mason, TXGOP SENATORS ARE GOING TO HIRE A CROOKED COP
It’s very confusing to live in a world where things are promised that never come true. Where language is used to confuse and obfuscate rather than mean anything. Where our elected officials constantly and consistently use the most disingenuous methods known to man to cover their asses. And truly b
From a verified voter in Mason, TXBLANCHE IS WRONG FOR AG. THE GOP KNOWS IT. AND DOES NOT CARE
Well, wasn’t that much ado about nothing? Todd Blanche has mollified two Republican senators into giving him their votes to move forward his AG nomination. Quel surprise. Blanche wrote a letter to them saying the 1/6 slush fund was dead. Which is what they’ve been saying, but the senators wanted
From a verified voter in Mason, TXSO TRUE. REFLECTING POOL = TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ANALOGY
In case you missed the Friday night news dump… The DOJ is dismissing criminal charges against the Olympian indicted for vandalizing the Reflecting Pool. Important bit…The filing says that “damage to the Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor, Atlantic
From a verified voter in Mason, TXREAL MEN DON’T KILL CHILDREN. AND CALL IT NECESSARY
How’s that manly chest-thumping going? Let’s review. The president is “exasperated” that the Iran war is dragging on. And that his advisors can’t agree what to do next. Reportedly, he erupted last week during a meeting with his national security team, shouting expletives at the officials in the ro
From a verified voter in Mason, TXTHE GOP DISCONNECT FROM WE THE PEOPLE IS REAL
Every day brings America the escalating reality of Republicans’ failure and inability to govern. The Senate did manage to adopt a toothless resolution yesterday. It provided that there should be no pardon, commutation, or any other form of clemency for Ghislaine Maxwell. Spoiler. The resolution
From a verified voter in Mason, TXTHE GOP NEEDS TO STOP GETTING A PASS ON HYPOCRISY
Seriously. The GOP behavior that continues to be accepted as normal these days is giving we the people whiplash. Today we read about Dr. Fauci being pilloried for taking the 5th during a senate hearing today. It’s obvious that one of the senator’s only intent was to trap Fauci in the long-time ques
From a verified voter in Mason, TXTHIS CAN’T BE HOW AMERICA CHOOSES TO KILL THE DREAM
Alexander Hamilton, he of Founding Father fame, perfectly anticipated the possibility of a demigod like Donald Trump in a letter to George Washington in 1792: “When a man unprincipled in private life, desperate in his fortune, bold in his temper, possessed of considerable talents ... despotic in h
From a verified voter in Killeen, TXam appalled by the Trump administration’s decision to weaken Endangered Species Act protections by narrowing the definition of “harm” and reducing long-standing habitat protections. This is not simply a regulatory change—it ignores one of the most basic principles of conservation science: habitat pr
From a verified voter in Mason, TXTHE CHICKEN LITTLE PRESIDENCY. THE SKY IS ALWAYS FALLING. BUT ONLY ON THE PEOPLE
America is being baited and switched to death. While we gobble up the daily outrage coming from the White House, any deeper dive reveals that we are being systematically deconstructed. There is a particular political theorist who has captivated leaders on the American right. His precepts boil down
From a verified voter in Mason, TXSTOP ALL THIS. WE DON’T WANT A GOLDEN CALF. OR HIS GOLDEN MONUMENTS.
Question. Shouldn’t a president hellbent on building, modifying, rearranging, rewriting, rebuilding his own small vision of what constitutes the proper aesthetic and/or version of history at least be required to finish one project well before he gets to start a dozen more? The Trump administration
From a verified voter in Mason, TXWE THE PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF DESTRUCTIVE COMPLICITY. WE WANT BETTER. WAY BETTER
Read of the day…some of Trump’s advisors are worried at what the war is doing to his popularity by causing higher prices. And, oh yeah, maybe by the deaths of 18 servicemembers. And there you have it folks. Popularity is the concern. So what’s a cheap accounting trick to ease the pain of those dea
From a verified voter in Mason, TXAMERICANS WILL NOT, DO NOT, SUPPORT AN UNJUSTIFIABLE WAR MACHINE WITH OUR MONEY
War. What is it good for? It must be good for pocketbooks somewhere otherwise it wouldn’t still be going on. But those pocketbooks don’t belong to we the people. We just get to pay for it. Pete Hegseth told Congress the Iran war has cost $37.5B so far. But reporting said that an internal Pentago
From a verified voter in Mason, TXWHILE WE FIGHT EACH OTHER AMERICA IS BEING SOLD TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER
Since ‘communist’ seems to be the prime Republican bugaboo these days, we should also talk about the other, more relevant, apparatus of government control…fascism. This word is thrown around a lot. But it actually applies to what we’re seeing America moving towards under the Trump administration.
From a verified voter in Mason, TXSO MUCH FOR THE ‘MERITOCRACY’ CLAIM OF GOVERNANCE
Phrases we can do without…”This is the most transparent [insert federal agency here] in history.” “As the U.S. military degrades the terrorist Iranian regime’s ability to attack commercial vessels and disrupt the free flow of energy through the Strait of Hormuz, oil and gas prices will plummet back
From a verified voter in Killeen, TXI am writing to make clear that my concern about the destruction of public lands does not stop at the borders of Texas.

From a verified voter in Mason, TXSHOULD WE JUST ACCEPT GOVERNANCE BY CORRUPTION? NOPE!
Have you heard the adage, ‘You can’t legislate morality’? But maybe we need to. Word for the day: Kleptocracy…when corruption becomes the primary method of governing. And literally translates to "rule by thieves." A system where those in power use their positions to steal their nation's wealth and
From a verified voter in Mason, TXCARTOON VILLAINS ON PARADE. WHO BELIEVES THIS CRAP?
Buckle up folks. Another invasion of America is underway… President Trump is threatening to charge tariffs to Canada over smoke from wildfires drifting into the US. "The United States is being unnecessarily invaded by filthy, polluted, and unhealthy air, the quality of which is dangerous, and tota

If there was ever an example of how little justice matters when it comes to political power, we don’t need to look further than the confirmation process that is about to allow the most unqualified candidate in memory to lead the DOJ. Todd Blanche. There’s the usual GOP grumbling. Maybe some conce
From a verified voter in Mason, TXTRUMP PRIMETIME. FESTIVUS FOR THE REST OF US
Is there anyone who actually believes that our president is capable of delivering a speech to the country that contains anything but a Festivus-style airing of grievances? The lead up to the next Trump speech is always heavy with the hope that maybe this time he will address topics of actual concer
From a verified voter in Mason, TXTRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME = ENABLERS WHO MAKE THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION POSSIBLE
It’s really hard to walk away from a perfect analogy. The president has repeatedly said vandals are to blame for Reflecting Pool damage that appeared just two weeks after a $14M renovation in June. He has publicly attested time and time again, in ever-increasing extent of vandalism terms, without a
From a verified voter in Killeen, TXI am writing to demand immediate congressional action to stop the escalating violence, lawlessness, and abuse of power that has come to characterize ICE operations under this administration.

From a verified voter in Mason, TXWE THE PEOPLE ARE BEING FLEECED
Is it just me? Republicans, who ran on the cost of living, affordability, lowering all the expenses brought on by (they say) the Biden administration and every Democrat on the planet are now trying to run for re-election on the same issue. But now, let the gaslighting begin… Before, we were told th

From a verified voter in Mason, TXOUR GOVERNMENT IN ACTION. AKA THE DAILY WANKER WATCH
Busy time for hypocrisy. Todd Blanche heading for the hot seat on Wednesday. Or at least a Republican kabuki version of it. Republicans led by Sen. Chuck Grassley, chair of the Judiciary Committee, have lauded Blanche’s progress on the more conventional work of the DOJ, like prosecuting fraud.
From a verified voter in Killeen, TXI am writing as your constituent because I am deeply concerned by reports that President Trump intends to give a speech attacking Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock by claiming they were not legitimately elected. If he makes those claims, I urge you to reject them publicly and unequivocally.
From a verified voter in Killeen, TXI am a constituent from Texas, and I am writing to urge you to oppose Section 1217 of the National Defense Authorization Act unless that provision is removed.
