UPDATE: Donald Trump Takes Office as the 47th US President



Basically knowing no Dem would be elected a bunch of Dems voted to defeat the more MAGA option.

Dems really need to stop this shit. If 5% of the supporters of the candidate that loses decide they’re not going to vote for the winner, we’ll lose the seat for sure.

I get people desperately want Jasmine to win, but making up shit isn’t going to help in the end.

BTW, here are the bills passed by Fetterman 2.0

Representative James Talarico has passed several notable pieces of legislation since taking office in 2018, often focusing on education, healthcare, and criminal justice reform.


During his tenure, at least 16 of his bills have become law. Key highlights of his legislative record include:


Healthcare and Affordability


• Insulin Cost Caps: Talarico, who has Type 1 diabetes, was instrumental in passing legislation to cap out-of-pocket insulin costs (such as HB 1935 for emergency refills and subsequent caps on copays).


• Prescription Drug Importation (HB 25): He authored legislation to create the Texas Wholesale Prescription Drug Importation Program, aimed at allowing the state to import lower-cost medications from Canada.


• Sickle Cell Disease Registry (HB 107): Passed in 2025 to establish a statewide registry for the disease.


Education and Youth


• **Pre-K Class Size Limits (SB 2081): He passed the first-ever cap on Pre-K class sizes in Texas to reduce student-to-teacher ratios.


• Education for Incarcerated Minors (HB 30): This bill provided a pathway for minors in the criminal justice system to earn a high school diploma rather than just an equivalency (GED).


• School Finance Reform: In his first term, he was a key contributor to significant reforms of the state's school finance system.


• Mental Health and Character Education: He passed legislation opening up millions in funding for student mental health and character education programs.


Public Safety and Law Enforcement


• Javier Ambler’s Law (HB 54): This law prohibits law enforcement agencies from contracting with reality TV shows that film officers in the line of duty.


• Fentanyl Overdose Prevention: He has passed laws specifically aimed at combating teen fentanyl overdoses.


Other Notable Passed Legislation (2021–2025)


• HB 1481 (2025): Relating to school district policies regarding student use of personal communication devices.


• HB 2633 (2021): Established resources and a grant program for victims of human trafficking.


• HB 368 (2021): Allows certain individuals to use an alternative address on their driver’s license for privacy and safety.

























James Talarico talks a big game about fighting the Republican establishment. But when it came time to choose who would lead the Texas House, he cast his vote for a Republican, not a fellow Democrat.On January 14, 2025, the Texas House held its speaker election. A Democrat was on the ballot: Rep. Ana-María Rodríguez Ramos of Richardson, who ran on stopping what she called the GOP’s “extremist agenda.” Talarico had a chance to support her. He didn’t. Instead, he voted for Republican Dustin Burrows in both rounds of voting.Let’s be clear about who Burrows is.

This is a conservative Republican who has voted for Texas’ restrictive abortion laws, the ban on gender-affirming care for minors, and hardline immigration legislation. He’s been described as “a loyal soldier” for Governor Abbott’s agenda. That’s the man Talarico chose to empower.Talarico
​

Talarico dismissed the Democratic candidate’s campaign as having only “symbolic value.” Symbolic. When Democrats had a chance to stand united behind one of their own, Talarico decided symbols don’t matter. He decided party loyalty doesn’t matter. He decided handing power to a Republican was the smarter play.

Actions reveal priorities. When the moment came to stand with Democrats or empower Republicans, Talarico chose Republicans.

That tells you everything you need to know.

Jasmine Crockett voted for Republican Dade Phelan to be the speaker of the Texas House. Does that make her a Republican plant as well. I guarantee you will move the shit out of those goalposts.

Every single one of those posters is a part of the Jasmine cult. Just like I don't believe the attacks on Jasmine for being bought by Israel, I don't believe these posters either. They're part of the problem. I can post a lot of negative Jasmine misinformation too (trust me, it';s out there, but I won't. I don't spread misinformation. I did post the progressive legislation Talarico passed. Why don't you post the legislation Jasmine passed when she was in the Texas House and let's compare.

Also..

"Defending Joe Biden" is what got us in this mess. You can keep worshipping politicians, but I won't. Cats on here working for politcians when they should be working for us.

I don't know homie. He seems suspect to me. We don't need anyone that toes the line. You either down or not. Forget all the posters and listen to his words. What Republican speaks bad about Trump publicly? You don't speak bad on Biden and agree with the GOP.

They're in a cult. I'm not.

Also, plenty of Republicans speak bad about Bush and a lot of them made fun of John McCain when he was dying.

Texas Dems have two good candidates. Either one of them would be great for the state. You don't have to try to destroy one to support the other. Just talk about how awesome Jasmine is - that should be the reason you support her.

I'm glad this primary is over next week so dems can start attacking Republicans instead of each other.

I'm calling all my fam back in Texas to make sure they get out to vote now and to make up their minds they are voting in november.
 


How could this be?!! Some folks on here said, "U.S. carriers are superior!!" :roflmao: :lol:

"The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mention Trump.

Some files have not been made public despite a law mandating their release. These include what appears to be more than 50 pages of FBI interviews, and notes from conversations with a woman who accused Trump of sexual abuse decades ago when she was a minor.

NPR reviewed multiple sets of unique serial numbers appearing before and after the pages in question, stamped onto documents in the Epstein files database, FBI case records, emails and discovery document logs in the latest tranche of documents published at the end of January. NPR's investigation found dozens of pages that appear to be catalogued by the Justice Department but not shared publicly."
