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. ICE is not a military force. It is not judge, jury, and executioner. Its officers do not have the authority
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

I have previously made clear that I oppose physical barriers in this area—not only within Big Bend National Park, but throughout 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.

From a verified voter in Mason, TXTODD BLANCHE. NO WAY. NOT NOW. NOT EVER. AND YOU KNOW IT
Trump’s former criminal defense lawyer, Todd Blanche, starts his job interview for AG in the Senate this Wednesday. This nomination would never have happened in the America gone by. But now we’re so innured to corruption in every facet of the Trump administration it’s expected he’ll get a cakewalk
From a verified voter in Mason, TXAMERICAN TAXPAYER MONEY IS BEING USED TO MURDER INNOCENT PEOPLE
This past Tuesday, a man named Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by an ICE agent in Houston, Texas. Is there any American, descended from immigrants, who doesn’t think this is an abomination? Regardless of immigration status? Mr. Salgado Araujo was 52 years old. He had lived in Houston for 35 y
From a verified voter in Mason, TXAMERICA IS BECOMING A POLICE STATE. BELIEVE IT
More than 20 people have been shot at by ICE since September. Nearly all of them in their cars. And now another person is dead. Dead because ICE made another bad call. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, father of three and a business owner, had lived in the US undocumented for more than 30 years. He had no c
From a verified voter in Mason, TXTHE OPPOSITE OF WINNING. ARE WE REALLY THIS CRAZY, INEPT, AND RIDICULOUS?
Incompetence and crazy has become so commonplace in the Trump administration it seems pointless to even keep reacting to it. But yet…we’ve gone past the point of being shocked. And are now into the realm of WTF ridiculous. And all we can do is watch it go by like a really bizarre and disturbing pa
From a verified voter in Killeen, TXI am writing as a constituent to urge you to oppose the proposed destruction of irreplaceable habitat in Big Bend National Park through the construction of a new CBP road across Mariscal Mountain and along the Mariscal Canyon rim.

Tipping point? America and the world seems to have finally realized Donald Trump is nothing but a bullying incompetent immoral grifter par excellence who has burned our country’s bridges as fast as he can. And leaves us nothing but a gigantic mess that will take an untold amount of time to fix. If,
From a verified voter in Mason, TXGOP SAYS COMMIES ARE COMING FOR US ALL. THE ONION IS ALIVE & WELL
Oh this is rich. You gotta laugh. The GOP has dragged up a word from their favorite era in American history. A word that is supposed to scare small children. And make we the people run for our proverbial guns. Communist. The glorious America of the 1950s is alive and well. Could someone please di
From a verified voter in Mason, TXOUR PRESIDENT DOES NOT REPRESENT THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA. STOP ACTING LIKE HE DOES
Here we go again…the president of the US stuck his beak where it didn’t belong. World Cup. Another event that brings the world together in shared joy. Sometimes shared defeat. We all know the story by now. An American player got a red card which got him booted from the Belgium vs US match. Trum
From a verified voter in Mason, TXWE DIDN’T LET ONE BAD PARTY SPOIL OUR AMERICAN FUN
Well that’s over. Trump’s Freedom 250 celebration of Trump didn’t seem to have good karma. Sweltering heat and thunderstorms caused delays and cancellations. Shoddy preparations. Haphazard. Expensive. Nothing seemed to be planned for the public’s comfort. It was like someone who’d never been to a
From a verified voter in Mason, TXEPSTEIN. JUSTICE REQUIRES ACCOUNTABILITY. WILL DOJ EVER COME CLEAN?
Shocker. More waffling and dodging from Trump DOJ poodle Todd Blanche. In response to a suit brought against the Justice Department over their limited release of the Epstein files, a judge issued a mandate that the department either release more investigative materials, including unredacted names o
From a verified voter in Killeen, TXI was a child during the 1976 Bicentennial. My mother served on our community’s Bicentennial committee, and I remember how it felt across the country at that time. It wasn’t confined to one political party or one message. It was genuinely national in scope—schools, neighborhoods, cities, and states
From a verified voter in Mason, TXTHIS BEHAVIOR IS OBSCENE
So who wouldn’t want to be president? Especially if you lack ethics and moral boundaries. A Midas treasure is there for the taking. Just ask our current president. And his family. And his business associates. Well at least those that he hasn’t left holding the bag while he pockets a bajillion doll
From a verified voter in Mason, TXAMERICA WILL PARTY REGARDLESS. AND BIDE OUR TIME. ALL THINGS PASS
SCOTUS, in a rare moment of sorta kinda recognizing precedent and sorta kinda recognizing that the Constitution is still our founding document, this week simply upheld birthright citizenship for most babies born in America. So of course MAGA is treating it as a dramatic and dangerous change. “Now
From a verified voter in Mason, TXPUBLIC SAFETY IS ABOUT TO GO THE WAY OF THE DODO
Slaughter v. Trump The latest Trump administration SCOTUS ‘triumph’ to gain yet more unfettered power. Since 1935 SCOTUS has said the president does not have the power to fire members of independent agencies created by Congress. Except for “inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office.
From a verified voter in Mason, TXOUR PARKS SUFFER WHILE TRUMP GILDS DC
Topic of the day…presidential pork barrel politics. A term generally used when politicians make deals to benefit their home districts to keep constituents happy. But when this president does it, although he insists it’s for the country, it’s anything but. He’s simply found a pot of gold to do with
From a verified voter in Killeen, TXI am writing as your constituent to urge you to oppose any Farm Bill language that includes the “Save Our Bacon Act” or similar provisions that would override state animal welfare laws.

Stephen Miller told reporters: “This country doesn’t have a future if we don’t end birthright citizenship…. One way or another, this nation has to end birthright citizenship.” Always an interesting take from a guy whose family immigrated to America to escape persecution and potential death in thei
From a verified voter in Mason, TXNEVER ENDING COVERUP. THE DOJ KEEPS MAKING THE EPSTEIN SCANDAL EVEN WORSE
Looks like the AG of the US may actually be forced to obey the law. What a sentence to have to write. In April of this year an independent journalist sued Todd Blanche over DOJ’s failure to fully release the Epstein Files in compliance with the Transparency Act passed by Congress. And signed into

Let’s get this out of the way…social media users have taken to calling the algae-choked Reflecting Pool the “Strait of Warm Ooze.” Meanwhile, in retaliation for Senate passage of a war powers resolution prohibiting him from further military action against Iran Trump posted: “So, I have Iran on the

It’s true. The current hubbub over the Reflecting Pool debacle shouldn’t be the most important thing on our collective minds. It should be the corruption. The Iran war. The incompetence. The assault on our civil liberties. Attacks on the law. Erosion of our voting rights. Epstein. But it’s just
