The Rebuplicans want to abolish Amendment 14 but don't you dare try anything with Amendment 2!

In their twisted logic, an immigrant not here legally who gives birth is an existential threat to our citizens. Mass shootings on the other hand are not.

Wow, Texans, your Congressman Nehls just told you how little he thinks or cares about you.

We know. We have lots of deplorable Rs in our state. Never underestimate the stupidity of Texas voters.

i just spent two days volunteering to serve as an administrative assistant at my church while they search for a permanent paid person to fill the vacancy.

what broke my heart was the number of people filing in to get groceries from our free food pantry. the only phone calls i answered were from people who are hungry and need food. these people are not lazy or just looking for a handout for the hell of it. they were mostly senior citizens and/or disabled with mobility challenges. they were all so thankful.

the same thing is a daily occurrence on the neighborhood website where people post a great variety of things. people are hungry. many people are one step away from homelessness.

the people who came to the food pantry, and the people who post on the neighborhood website are so humble, and a great many say they are embarrassed to ask for food because they have never been in such a desperate situation. these are people who worked for a living, but what benefits they receive are no longer enough to sustain them.

so many people have lost their SNAP benefits and/or their medicaid. they have no medical coverage. i people i saw and spoke to are all americans from birth.

and the outrage continues. STERILIZE IMMIGRANTS COMING INTO THIS COUNTRY?! but wait! vance and other republicans talk about how our low birth rates are a danger to the future of america. gee ... one would think they would welcome immigrants adding to our population. oh, yeah, i guess the problem is the immigrants they want to ban or sterilize are the dreaded black or brown people. i guess only the white south africans who were allowed into america should have babies.

the daily news shows our beloved country inching ever closer to nazi germany.

happy fourth of july, my ass.

Adam, you said "And don’t even get me started on paid medical leave....". Please do get started. Americans should be reminded of exactly what taxpayer paid benefits senators and representatives receive, including medical care, retirement benefits, paid vacation, paid family leave, travel expenses, professional expenses and others. This information should be posted on a bill board in the home district of each senator and member of congress who has voted against or spoken against Social Security, Medicare, ACA, Medicaid, disability benefits, educational benefits, etc.

Might I suggest a correction?

Especially when still married Ken Paxton decides to vacation in Iceland with his still married alleged mistress instead of staying on the campaign trail.

Because he knows his election has already been bought & paid for 🤬

Under speaker johnson's (lack) of leadership, House members have been on vacation more than they've been working in the House. Luna is Loony Tunes!!!

Just love when our Congress people play "dirty" and then leave for more time off. I thought they were just off not too long ago for Memorial and took 2 weeks. What a load of crap.

it doesn't seem to make any difference whether they are in session or vacationing on a beach somewhere.

I am not having compassion for someone who consistently kicks other Americans .To he who offers mercy much mercy is given. I probably didn't get that exactly right but close enough.

As far as blanch goes ,how can it be against our laws if there is no law against it..

Where does Trump stand in the list of greatest grifters in American history? How much are Trump's meme coins worth today?

Unbelievable the arrogance of these republicans to dismiss the “affordability” issues in this country and outright talk about enjoying lobster while those less fortunate pay his $174k salary and benefits. Democrats need to use the Troy Nels video clip and drive home how out of touch republicans are today.

Sid Clough's avatar

It didn’t seem to me that he was out of touch. His replies implied he didn’t give a damn about his poorer constituents. Contempt like that is quite a different matter.

Kat Hudy's avatar

That’s true as well.

Along with Felon 47’s comment about loving inflation.

I appreciate you sir

Leslie  Gottshall-Decker's avatar

When politicians are so self-centered as to refer to lobster and steak while some of their constituents are having difficulty putting food on the table; they deserve the same fate as the woman who said “let ‘em eat cake!”

paid medical leave is only for the elite. Teachers have a 6 week summer vacation in which MANY have to have a 2nd job and get criticized for! Also Teachers generally have to take classes to keep their certifications. Maybe Congress AND the Administration should take CONSTITUTION classes!
