The Washington Post is the paper which broke Watergate. It won a Pulitzer for coverage of January 6th. For the Washington Post to refuse to endorse a candidate because it fears retribution from Trump is an enormous flashing red sign that the country is on the brink of fascism.

So when Trump wrote that check to re-elect Kamala Harris in 2011, I bet he didn’t think she’d cash it in 2024! 😜

I'd just like to point out that, for 250 years, American presidents didn't need to ask for immunity.

But how THIS guy got away is equally important. Because an inmate serving a life sentence for child sexual assault isn’t working outside to “slip” away. He’s not a trusty. There was a huge security failure, hence TDCJ’s vague reference to *how* he left.

Quick question: how many TDCJ inmates need to escape before the Texas Board of Criminal Justice decides that *maybe* the agency needs new leadership at the top? It would appear current policies aren’t working if an inmate can “slip” away. Every. Single. Month.
UPDATE ON ESCAPEE | According to the Brazoria Co. Sheriff's Office, two people have been arrested in connection with the escape of Robert Yancy Jr. TDCJ officials said he escaped Sunday and remains on the loose. Full story: https://t.co/yKwigwtV89

Sen. Rafael Edward Cruz, who uses the preferred name Ted, has introduced a bill to limit the use of preferred names and pronouns.

Best moments from tonight’s #Astros game: Paul Wall playing in the bathrooms, made it JUST in time for free Hawaiian shirt night, father got hit by a ball in batting practice (but somehow didn’t catch it?!?) and British hubby got his first H-town jersey. Now we just need to win!

He provided the soundtrack to my childhood, via my Gulf Coast surfer dad who looked just like him. I hate the era’s over. “If he likes you he'll smile then he'll say Jimmy, some of it's magic, some of it's tragic But I had a good life all the way.”-He Went to Paris #JimmyBuffett
