Here for funny shit and politics. Usually they’re the same. Retired Air Force colonel.





Under the SAVE Act, you cannot use your driver's license to register to vote. Republicans want you to buy a passport instead. If you can afford one. This is a modern-day poll tax.



As we have all week, Democrats will continue to hold the floor to block the Republican voter suppression SAVE Act. And as I’ve said all week: We will not let this bill pass under any circumstances, no matter how long it takes.



Travis County DA Jose Garza has been prosecuting an Austin cop for four years for using force during the 2020 protests -- while secretly meeting with city officials about whether the CITY was the one that should have been indicted. Garza's office believed the city handed officers defective equipment and gave the orders. He negotiated with them directly. Then certified to the court that all evidence had been disclosed. But it hadn't. When your political brand is built on holding police accountable, you can't let the city quietly take the fall. So you bury it and keep prosecuting the guy who followed orders.




37 minutes before he died, Charlie Kirk texted me that he joked with Joe Kent about not wanting to go to war in Iran and he hoped Kent didn’t take him serious about it.









The Department of War is populated by literally tens of thousands of mid-grade officers whose singular job in life is to write and continuously update a plethora of operations orders that cover every imaginable contingency involving the US military, down to the tiniest detail. If you can imagine it, there is an OPORD for it. Never tell me a US military mission lacked adequate planning. It's a lie.
