A long-overdue announcement: The codebase for (most of) my event-organizing tools is now on a public github repo. This includes the player schedule optimizer and the bracket pdf creator

Feel free to check it out. I'm open to collaboration as well.

Average Talarico scandal:
Misremembered how many kids he had in a class he taught over a decade ago.
Average Paxton scandal:
Spent New Years Eve in Dubai with his mistress, just after giving a pedophile a plea deal of only 1 day in jail, just after being indicted for corruption.
James Talarico’s campaign website says: “When I entered the classroom, the Texas Legislature had just gutted the public education budget by $5 billion — so I had 45 kids in one classroom.”
Public records show the most students ever assigned to his class was 30, @nytimes reports.

Israeli "democracy":
- 500,000 West Bank settlers can vote, but not the 3M Palestinians under occupation
- 230,000 Israelis in occupied East Jerusalem can vote, but not the 350,000 Palestinians under their rule
- The fewer than 2M Palestinians left in occupied Gaza cannot vote

A big barrier to entry into hard right wing politics as currently constructed is that you have to be sexually attracted to cartoon children to be in the club. If they loosen up some of these rules, I think their movement could see more success.
Dept of Education is embracing the "malfoid" meme, a right-wing fan fiction idea about a female Draco Malfoy who Harry Potter could fall in love with. nitter.gq/usedgov/status/2115069…

As I reported hours ago, Flávio Bolsonaro has arrived safely in United States.
The mastermind behind this operation is U.S. Secretary of State @SecRubio .
From the United States, free and safe, Flávio will lead the opposition against Lula.

ICYMI: Steven reports the Wyoming LLC that sent transgender mailers to Texas households has hired Chris Hilton, a former top government lawyer under Ken Paxton, to defend it.
Hilton, who defended Paxton against impeachment, has a private law shop with the ex solicitor general.

Texas Transgender Student Union, the anonymous LLC in Wyoming that sent the bogus mailers, has retained Ken Paxton's impeachment attorney, Chris Hilton, to represent them as Transgender Education Network of Texas, the group that TTSU impersonated in the mailers, seeks depositions

Alex Pretti's father: Our son was shot and killed by the government, federal immigration agents, on January 24th, 2026. We learned about his death from the media as we saw him being shot repeatedly in the back after helping a woman from his community. This was not a protest that Alex was at. His hands were in the air, and his face was on the ground when he was executed by ICE agents. We know exactly what our eyes saw. No one from the federal government called us on that day. But they did go on TV to tell lies about Alex. No one has called us since. No one has recanted those lies.

NEW: The NCAA tells us ZERO trans student-athletes are now competing in women's sports.
Why does 15% of America think there are tens of THOUSANDS?
"Politics are winning on the back of fiction."
margotphoenix.bsky.social retweeted
In a new poll, 15% of Americans said they believe between 1 and 5% of NCAA athletes are transgender.
14% think between it's between 6 and 25%.
Meanwhile, an NCAA spokesperson confirmed that the current number is "effectively" zero

its insane how not many people are talking about how republicans with the help of several moderate democrats are building out the largest abusive medical conversion therapy operation in modern american history
🚨Today, Texas Children’s Hospital has officially launched their Detransition Clinic 🚨
Under the settlement, TCH must provide multidisciplinary detransition-related care FREE OF CHARGE for five years, including endocrinology, surgery, primary care, fertility counseling, mental health services, social work, and speech pathology.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude once again to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and my attorneys at the Burke Law Group for their extraordinary dedication, sacrifice, and tireless efforts throughout this fight. Their commitment helped turn a painful and difficult chapter into an opportunity for meaningful change. @KenPaxtonTX @BurkeLawTweets
I think of all the detransitioners who have suffered in silence, been dismissed, and fought desperately to have their voices heard. This win is for them.
I hope TCH’s admirable effort to fund and launch Americas first detransition clinic becomes a turning point for the entire country. That this clinic is not the exception, but the first of many.
Today’s a good day. ❤️

With the way certain Dems on here are talking about Josh Turek, you'd think his "moderate" views on trans people were just about sports or something. This guy is advocating for trans people to have their healthcare taken away and somehow Lib ET isn't universally condemning him.

liberals will call you spoiled and privileged if you don’t want democratic party politicians being vocally supportive of a policy that will kick off hundreds of thousands of trans people off of life saving medicare coverage for HRT

Transgender issues are not a factor or a minor factor for 68% of likely voters. Even among conservatives, 58% say not a factor or minor.
