@jamestalarico @JohnCornyn This might be good politics but it’s terrible policy.

President Trump and I agree: we should suspend the federal gas tax. It's time for @JohnCornyn to get on board. Texans need relief.

This is incredibly life affirming

@RoKhanna But I want a Chinese car…

With Trump ready to meet Xi, he must: Get China to buy more of our soybeans. Make it clear no Chinese cars in America. Stop Chinese companies from abusing workers in the US and competing unfairly.

@TheBlogfines What’s old friend Marcus Stroman up to?

I'm just not sure where they're getting that kind of arm this early in the season to begin with (they should at least be making calls), and they can't just punt their farm system in an overpay. So there's that balance of trying to improve but also being practical.

@BleacherNation Did he stumble out of the box or something? It seemed too slow developing to be such an easy double play.

Wow. Michael Busch robbed. Bases loaded rocket turns into an inning ending double play. Hard to know how many runs Bogaerts just saved on that play AND what might have followed.

@kurtlash1 Is it your position that perjury is protected by the First Amendment or does the act of being under oath somehow alter one’s First Amendment right to lie to courts?

For those who see California's disbarment of John Eastman as vindication of their efforts to destroy his career: You can pound sand. I've added this case to the viewpoint discrimination section of my 1stA class. In the meantime, I will continue to value my friendship with this good man and fine scholar. Here's the opening footnote to my recent article in the Notre Dame Law Review. Don't find yourself on the sidelines on this one, folks. It won't end with John.

@AssocAnderson What permanent damage exactly did Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh suffer?

I knew Justin Fairfax. Our paths crossed during my first run for the General Assembly. Every interaction I had with him was professional, respectful, and measured. What happened to him politically should make everyone uncomfortable—regardless of party. At the exact moment Ralph Northam was facing collapse over the blackface scandal, allegations surfaced against Fairfax that effectively ended his political future overnight. He was never charged. He was never prosecuted. And once his career was over, the allegations faded from public view just as quickly as they appeared. That pattern—unproven allegations surfacing at the precise moment someone is about to rise politically—is not new. We’ve seen it play out nationally with figures like Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas. Whether you believe those claims or not, the timing is always the same—and the damage is always permanent. Now we’re watching the aftermath of a life that, by any objective measure, was derailed in a matter of weeks. And the same political class that stood by—or benefited—at the time is now offering thoughts and prayers. That’s the part that ought to turn your stomach. If we’re going to be honest about accountability in this country, it has to cut both ways. Destroying someone publicly without due process, without proof, and without consequence is not justice. It’s politics at its worst. And it keeps happening because it works.

@CubsGuy37 @brendan_cubs You think he would have been the difference for that 91-loss Cubs team? Or you just wanted the Cubs to be the ones who got to flip him for Aldo Ramirez at the deadline?

@brendan_cubs And you don’t? Fireable decision by Jed

Over/under 999 tweets from Cubs Twitter tonight wishing Schwarber were still on the team?

@obvious_shirts 22% off sale when they launch?

Hired.

@maddie_m_lee I missed that you had changed beats and was very confused for a moment while I freeze my ass off at Wrigley. But congrats on the new gig!

It’s a beautiful day for some baseball.

@PaigeForAustin What we need is literally to just restripe the existing pavement to get rid the southbound merger at William Cannon that causes 90% of the traffic problem. It could be fixed in less time than this meeting will take.

The MoPac South Expansion in-person Meeting is today, Tues, March 24.  While we need additional mobility options in Southwest Austin, we must be mindful of the impacts such a highway expansion can have on the surrounding community, families, school children, & the environment.

@DataMizzou To make the tournament 90% of the time and to be a top 8 seed like half that time.

A very twitter-adverse question: If you can distill your expectations of what you want the Mizzou basketball program to be in one sentence, stated in the affirmative, what is it? I think about that often. I think its necessary for clarity.

@TexasBaseball @CoachSchloss When do gates open? 530?

first 500 fans can pick up this bobblehead at Gate 6 tonight 🤘 #HookEm | @CoachSchloss

@DrewSmith_33 @eklib That would call into question the anonymity of votes but regardless, when a vote was cast does not demonstrate when the voter first got in line.

@chriswbennett @eklib I would bet almost anything the computer audit log knows when the ballots are scanned in and fed through the machine

The Texas Supreme Court has temporarily BLOCKED a Dallas judge’s order to keep the polls open til 9, ordering the county to separate out votes from people who were not in line at 7pm. Not a final ruling, but will create chaos in getting results from Dallas County

@byEliHoff That’s only the tiebreaker for the next 5 days because A&M and Kentucky haven’t played yet

The SEC standings, updated with last night's games, have #Mizzou in 5th — and show the value of the Tigers' win over Florida. That's currently the tiebreaker that has MU atop the four teams with 9-6 records.

@_delconte I know we worship at the altar of television dollars but a 9pm weeknight game (and for senior day no less) is just ridiculous.

Praise the Lord and hook ‘em horns 🤘🏽

@tpapresents I haven’t yet received a “Know Before You Go” email with the links to buy valet parking for Hadestown this weekend. Are those going to be sent out?

@PowerMizzoucom Hubert Davis has really lowered the bar there

I'm pro court storming. Why are NORTH CAROLINA FANS storming the court?

@JessicaLBurbank I’ve seen plenty of people who don’t post political content complaining about this today so it seems like a glitch rather than a conspiracy by the new owner to censor certain content

I’m not allowed to be a tik tokker anymore I guess???? Without explanation my videos are shown to 0 people now.
