"Travis County's DeBeauvoir says the most frustrating part of the new law is that she can't even communicate with voters about how to fix their application.

A provision in SB 1 says local officials can "make no attempt to solicit a person to complete an application for an early voting ballot by mail, whether directly or through a third party." Violating that is a state jail felony that carries a mandatory minimum of six months of imprisonment and a fine of up to $10,000."

“We came here 20 years ago because it was the closest thing we could find to Norman Rockwell,” he told me. “Now people come looking for George Lincoln Rockwell” — the founder of the American Nazi Party…

People are coming here for ‘freedom,’ thinking, ‘I don’t have to mask, I don’t have to be nice.’
Sheesh.

gentrification.
People always think of this wrong. You don't kick them out, you sell it off to another country. Like sell Texas and Florida to Mexico. At least make some money out of it.

Even (GASP) Fox is getting sick of Trump’s shit, and is beginning to call him out.
There's a very, very big difference between calling trump out based on something so eggregious they can't ignore...........and what's really happening which is fox is untethering themselves from someone who just finally got caught doing something that will have actual legs in terms of imposing consequences

They finally view him as a liability because they see this one as an actual threat. It's not like they have moral consistancy or anything

On a daily basis, I'm thanking my lucky stars and guardian angel dead Grandma that I was clever and lucky enough to come to Europe, work 4 years in France, and retire in Portugal. Watching the US fall apart is bad enough, just glad I don't have to live in it.

Can't say I'm super enthused about Europe's prospect either, but as of right now, Portugal is excellent. And for the future, being as far away from the Russkies as possible combined with Portuguese beaches, food and cities still sounds pretty good. High on my list if I stay in Europe and live to retirement age.
