We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community. The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution. Don’t give up the ship.

before DEI, only white men were even interviewed. DEI was instituted to at least make interviews possible for non-white men; & to everyone's surprise, or no one's, once the playing field was leveled women & persons of color began to be hired. naturally, white men were miffed. not fair! when it's sheer cold-blind merit, all benefit. T***p had to remove DEI & replace it with his own brand of DEI: T***p loyalists. that is sole requirement for advancement in T***pDarkAge.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 yrs, fixed the electoral map, abused gov power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

Eric Swalwell was the frontrunner for California governor on Thursday. By Friday night, his campaign chair had resigned, his fundraising page was dead, Adam Schiff was pretending they'd never met, and Nancy Pelosi was speaking about him in the past tense. The man went from "party standard-bearer" to "we don't know who this guy is" faster than a Snapchat message disappearing from his phone. The official story is that multiple women came forward with serious allegations and the party responded swiftly. Which, sure, okay. Except "swiftly" undersells it. Because the demon-rat party's reaction looked like detonating a controlled demolition they'd already wired. Every endorsement pulled in the same news cycle. Every statement using the same language. Every union, every ally, every surrogate, all reading from the same script that apparently materialized from thin air on a Friday afternoon. You know what's funny? When Tara Reade accused Joe Biden of the same thing, the entire Democratic apparatus spent months explaining why believing women is more nuanced than it sounds. Biden stayed in. Won the nomination. Won the presidency. Why? Because Biden was an useful idiot. Swalwell was not useful. Swalwell was a problem. Eight Democrats splitting the vote in California's top-two primary means two Republicans could lock Democrats out of the general. Steve Hilton is polling at 22%. The math was bad. Swalwel was told to leave. He said no. And then, by extraordinary coincidence, every institutional support system in his political life collapsed simultaneously. Yup. Totally coincidental. They did this to Bernie in 2016. They did it to Crockett in Texas, so I don't buy the 'Swalwell is a white dude' argument either. Since the blue party does not have voters, it must rely on a plan. And if you happen to be standing where the plan needs to go, they will move you. The allegations might be true. They might not be. It doesn't matter! The point is the party didn't wait to find out because the point was never the allegations. The point was power...

In 2023, as a member of the Texas House, I voted to expel former State Representative Bryan Slaton for sexual misconduct involving his staff. That vote reflected a principle I’ve consistently upheld: elected officials must be held accountable when they abuse their power. I have a long record of standing up to corruption and misconduct, regardless of who is involved. I bring that same standard to Congress. If an expulsion resolution for this kind of serious wrongdoing came before the House, I would not hesitate to vote to expel those members.

Just because you have regretful sex and make bad decisions, does not give you a right to ruin someone's life. We as women need to start acting like grown ups about these kinds of situations

The helium collapse accelerates. All mass spec labs are about to go dark. Medical imaging, too, for those instruments that use helium. My lab has a 1-year supply of helium in place, because I saw this coming and ordered my analysts to stock up in early March. Apparently we got the last available "extra" helium in the supply chain. Now it's scarcity and, soon, panic.
