I mean I'm sure someone is on this but "governor can suspend an election two weeks before it happens" kinda feels like a five alarm fire, no?

@Lina_rays1ya Nobel Peace Prize

Can you name one thing Obama did better than Trump? What say you?

@em_Lazzy @pappybest Me!

Who can honestly claim, without hesitation, that they have never supported Donald Trump, even for a single moment?

@AlexanderNews_ Absolutely NOT!

🚨Public opinion poll: In your view, should ABC make the decision to remove Jimmy Kimmel from his current role/show, or allow him to continue. Please share your choice. A. Yes, he should be removed B. No, he should continue Vote now and make your voice heard!

@WadeMiller Glad you’re gone!

Who I would vote for in Texas in the May primary runoffs if I didn’t leave and move to DC to fight the swamp and support President Trump and the America First agenda: Chip Roy Bo French Ken Paxton

@FLOTUS Quiet Piggy!

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America. People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him. Enough is enough.  It is time for ABC to take a stand.  How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

@mredding And I thought “third time’s the charm”. Guess that old saying just isn’t always true. ☹️

This MFer goes out after an assassination attempt and talks about the need for his ballroom?

@KeruboSk And you’re going get get advice on this from random people on The X?? Call a lawyer, sis!

My boyfriend and I are planning to buy a house together after dating for 3 years. He earns significantly more than I do, so he’d be contributing about 70% of the down payment. Because of that, he wants the house to be only in his name. He says it’s just “fair” based on the numbers, but we’d both be living there, splitting bills, and building a life together. I’ve been watching a lot of relationship content about equity vs equality, and it made me realize things don’t always have to be 50/50 but this feels like I’d have no security at all. He said if we ever broke up, he’d “do the right thing,” but that doesn’t really reassure me. My friends say don’t move in unless my name is on it. His friends apparently think I’m being entitled. Now I feel stuck between trusting him and protecting myself. Is this a red flag I’m trying too hard to rationalize?

@TimothyQuass @RonFilipkowski Biden DOJ in Texas? No, it was our toady governor and corrupt attorney general.

@RonFilipkowski False - the Biden DOJ started it in TX and be careful, the mass exodus of cities already from those status will be a blood bath when census is done in 2030.

Democrats did not want to do any mid-decade redistricting. It was Trump who started it in June 2025 with a phone call to Greg Abbott after more special election losses. Dems warned they’d respond. But Texas did it anyway - without the consent of the voters. Then Dems responded.

@PDogMc11 @RonFilipkowski Not a liberal judge in Texas. GQP has been running the state for decades. No liberal judges left. It was our toady governor and corrupt Attorney General who allowed that. Facts!

@RonFilipkowski A liberal judge ordered Texas to redistrict you fucking moron! 🫵🏻🤡

@ShawnPowerX215 @RonFilipkowski You got that backwards Bub

@jproodian @RonFilipkowski I dispute the “very red” state for my state of Texas. We’ve been illegally gerrymandered and run by the GQP for several decades. It is nearly the exact same universe, only we were denied the opportunity to vote on it.

@RonFilipkowski Keep on lying. TX has 65% republican seats in a very red state. VA now has 90% democrat seats in a nearly 50-50 purple state. This isn’t even in the same universe close.

@Baconguy5678 @RonFilipkowski It doesn’t even take that. Greg Abbutt answered the call from the White House and re-drew FIVE congressional districts to benefit the GQP here in Texas. We didn’t even get to vote on it.

@RonFilipkowski What you're missing. If this precedent stands in Virginia it means that any state in the country that can muster a 1% majority in a vote can draw the other political party completely out of their maps with no fair reason or justification at all. Red state lottery!

@DonaldJDubya @RonFilipkowski What are you even talking about? What districting in 2025? Other than the gerrymandering forced on us here in Texas.

@RonFilipkowski They also did the mid-decade redistricting bc the 2020 census was acknowledged to have had several egregious counting errors that all benefitted Democrat control. But you don't want to mention that.

@JMMoriarty_ @RonFilipkowski Source please?

@RonFilipkowski Blue states lost several million in population despite cramming every possible illegal immigrant they could find post covid. Of couse they didnt want to redistrict mid-decade.

@kayakestable AI story. ALL. OVER. X.

Durante nueve meses, mi esposa, Brooklyn, llevó en su vientre a nuestro pequeño niño. Y durante nueve meses, vivimos en un lugar entre la esperanza y el desamor. A principios del embarazo, supimos que algo estaba terriblemente mal. Alrededor del tercer o cuarto mes, los médicos nos dijeron que nuestro hijo tenía una hidrocefalia severa —líquido que se acumulaba tan rápidamente en su cerebro que lo empujaba todo a un lado. Antes lo llamaban “agua en el cerebro”, pero la simplicidad del nombre no suavizaba la realidad. Eventualmente nos derivaron al Hospital Infantil de Cincinnati, donde algunos de los mejores especialistas en fetos del país se reunieron con nosotros. Y nos dieron ese tipo de noticia para la que ningún padre está jamás preparado. Su condición era tan severa, tan extrema, que dejaron de medirla. No tenía sentido, dijeron. Las imágenes de la resonancia magnética eran devastadoras. Nos dijeron que había más del 90% de probabilidades de que nuestro hijo: • Muriese poco después del nacimiento, o • Sobreviviese con un deterioro cognitivo tan profundo que la vida —la vida real— no sería posible. Nos sentamos en reuniones por las que ningún padre debería pasar. Conversaciones sobre tubos de respiración. Sobre cuánto tiempo intentar. Sobre el momento en que tendríamos que tomar la decisión de dejarlo ir. Brooklyn se mudó a Cincinnati para estar cerca del hospital. Yo iba y venía —trabajando, cuidando a nuestras hijas Sophie y Lily, e intentando mantener nuestra casa en pie mientras nuestro mundo parecía derrumbarse. Luego llegó el 8 de julio. Quince minutos antes de la cesárea de Brooklyn, nos sentamos de nuevo con los médicos e discutimos cuándo —no si— tendríamos que retirar el soporte vital y dejar que nuestro hijo fuera al cielo. No tengo palabras para ese tipo de dolor. Y entonces —Charlie Edward Schnarr llegó a este mundo llorando. Un llanto fuerte, alto, desafiante. El sonido más hermoso que he escuchado en mi vida. Se quedó en la UCIN hasta ayer… y ahora estamos en casa. Juntos. Abrazándolo. Queriéndolo. Viéndolo respirar. Viéndolo vivir. Tiene una leve dilatación ventricular que vigilaremos —pero de lo contrario? Está prosperando. Comiendo. Retorciéndose. Bostezando. Agarrando nuestros dedos. Mirando alrededor a un mundo que nunca se suponía que sería el suyo. Los médicos no tienen explicación. Dijeron que su cerebro de alguna manera despejó el bloqueo por sí solo —algo que ninguno de ellos ha visto en un caso tan severo. La palabra que resonaba en la UCIN de enfermeras experimentadas y especialistas de primer nivel era la misma: “Milagro.” “Intervención divina.” Ellos lo dijeron. No nosotros. Sabemos que miles de personas —familia, amigos, compañeros de trabajo, extraños— estaban orando por nuestro hijo. Creo con todo mi ser que Dios escuchó esas oraciones. Que Él puso Su mano sobre Charlie. Que Él dijo, no a este. Pasaré el resto de mi vida agradeciéndole. A cada persona que oró por nosotros —cada mensaje de texto, cada nota, cada intención susurrada— gracias. Nos sostuvieron cuando estábamos demasiado exhaustos para sostenernos a nosotros mismos. La oración es real. Dios es real. Y los milagros… todavía ocurren. Con un corazón lleno y agradecido,

@iky_fwjett This is made-up and fools are answering the question. SMH.

My husband invited his new coworkers over for dinner. When they arrived he introduced me by gesturing at me and saying "this is mrs Smith (didn't even say my name)...the housewife!" I looked at him for a second then I started laughing hysterically. I then told said "no honey I work full time and YES I still act like a housewife when I'm home because you simply can't bother to help". His co workers were staring at him as he tried to laugh and change the subject and ask what they wanted to drink. Dinner went super awkward with him giving me looks and stares. Once the guests left he blew up saying I embarrassed him by laughing like a lunatic and then making the comment I made infront of his new coworks and ruining his image. I told him he was wrong to lie about my status and deny my degree to begin with. He said I could've talked to him about it privately later but not like this, and making his coworkers think he's useless. He stormed off and has been quiet the entire night. Was i out of line?

@thebettye @BMeiselas 🤢🤢🤮

@BMeiselas TEXAN here! 🙋‍♀️ YES, PLEASE!

Can we send Vance to Texas

@LAHTX33 @BMeiselas 🤮🤮🤮

@BMeiselas Yes! He was just in Austin. Hoping he does his magic here as well!

@cecegkh And totally worth every penny of the $0. He’s getting plenty in the kickbacks and sales of Trump swag.

Just a reminder that from January 20, 2025, President Trump has been paid exactly $0.00 for everything he has to for our country! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
