@VanTaylorTX @TexasGOP @GregAbbott_TX @candynoble @MattShaheen @Susan_Fletcher @leachfortexas @CollinCtyVotes @CollinGOP @Scott_SanfordTX Let's see, Van ... We're presently #5 in teen birth rate (per @HHSGov), & the state ed #abstinenceonly policy seems tailor-made to make us #1 there. In fact, the stats say almost one-in-five of US births to girls <15 were right here in Texas. #winning 1/
@VanTaylorTX @TexasGOP @GregAbbott_TX @candynoble @MattShaheen @Susan_Fletcher @leachfortexas @CollinCtyVotes @CollinGOP @Scott_SanfordTX @HHSGov In your quest for first, Van, you'll be glad to know we're #1 already for #uninsured people AND #1 when it comes to least #HealthcareAccess (incl. DC!). We do have a little ways to go on cost; we're only 6th #mostexpensive. Keep denying that expansion! 2/

@VanTaylorTX @TexasGOP @GregAbbott_TX @candynoble @MattShaheen @Susan_Fletcher @leachfortexas @CollinCtyVotes @CollinGOP @Scott_SanfordTX @HHSGov Wanna be the worst place for #children, Van? Texas is almost there! According to the Annie E. Casey Foundation #KidsCount assessment, we're the 3rd-worst for family and community (#47/50) & 9th-worst for #childhealth. Isn't that exciting? /3

@VanTaylorTX @TexasGOP @GregAbbott_TX @candynoble @MattShaheen @Susan_Fletcher @leachfortexas @CollinCtyVotes @CollinGOP @Scott_SanfordTX @HHSGov But Van, we've a tiny bit of work to do before we can get to #1 on "worst #qualityoflife in the nation." We're achingly close at 46th of 50 (@usnews), but being 35th on nature hurts our chances. Good thing #TXGOP fights for bad environmental policy! /4

@VanTaylorTX @TexasGOP @GregAbbott_TX @candynoble @MattShaheen @Susan_Fletcher @leachfortexas @CollinCtyVotes @CollinGOP @Scott_SanfordTX @HHSGov @usnews Here's where teamwork comes in, Van: @USATODAY says we're 40th of 50 for #education. But if you help @DanPatrick & @DonHuffines keep pushing to shift #publiceducation funds to private & parochial schools, we could break into the top 10 worst states! /5

@VanTaylorTX @TexasGOP @GregAbbott_TX @candynoble @MattShaheen @Susan_Fletcher @leachfortexas @CollinCtyVotes @CollinGOP @Scott_SanfordTX @HHSGov @usnews @USATODAY @DanPatrick @DonHuffines In short, Van, you & #TxGOP have your work cut out for you, bc you seem to be trying to make #Texas #1 in all the wrong things: unhealthy, uneducated children; babies having babies; #families one bad medical bill away from disaster. Dan & Don want a #bathroombill to kill #biz /6
@VanTaylorTX @TexasGOP @GregAbbott_TX @candynoble @MattShaheen @Susan_Fletcher @leachfortexas @CollinCtyVotes @CollinGOP @Scott_SanfordTX @HHSGov @usnews @USATODAY @DanPatrick @DonHuffines How about we #northTX neighbors make it easy on you & elect folks who want to make #Texas #1 in the GOOD things - like #LorieBurch @LorieB4Congress, @ColinAllredTX, @janasanchez & @JanForCongress who'll do the heavy lifting needed.
P.S. Thanks for the donation reminder! /7

Scott Dworkin: When you talk about a politician with leadership, or having a heart, or being poised, it seems like a dig at Trump. Trump sat there like a little toddler with his arms crossed, he didn't put his hand on his heart when the casket came in.
@funder @TheDemCoalition
Scott Dworkin: Obama's face when Trump came in... it wasn't a smirk, it was like, "You're so screwed. I can't wait for you to leave."
@funder @TheDemCoalition #DworkinReport
Scott Dworkin: I protested W every step of his presidency but when he spoke at the 9/11 Memorial he seemed human, not a monster, and when he broke down, it was like he felt responsible for everything that had happened.

1/ Something strange is happening with people’s sex lives. 20-somethings are having sex later and less frequently than previous generations. I spent several months digging into this for @theatlantic. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
2/ This phenomenon—I’m calling it a Sex Recession—really surprised me. It seemed improbable in the age of Tinder, digital porn, and attitudes that are generally permissive and sex-positive.
3/ What’s happening isn’t exclusively American: Similar trends are being observed in other countries, including Japan, Australia, the U.K., Finland, and the Netherlands.

Remember, Ted Cruz's campaign hired AggregateIQ and AggregateIQ was confirmed as assisting the Cruz campaign as recently as April of this year (if not still going at it).

Are you curious of the people comprising AggregateIQ? Here's a tweet from one of 'em i.imgur.com/Ix2TvgJ.jpg
"Ted Cruz: Hiring swastika folk that financially gain from racism."
Is that worthy of your vote?
[and, yeah, I have the code repository proving that specific person developed code utilized by Cruz]

My closing #Midterm2018 THREAD: Let's look at how Ted Cruz has knowingly worked to divide and mislead Texans. #txlege
Please RT
#VoteBlueToSaveAmerica #GOPVotingBlue
Ted Cruz FACT: He's invested millions of dollars in digital influence campaigns.
Maliciously targeting you, your family & friends.

Operating largely in the shadows, using firm that harvested data on stolen from millions of unwitting FB users. #TXSen #txlege #TX14 #Psywar #Psyop
Ted Cruz FACT: Files reveal that AggregateIQ—also known as “AIQ”—is the developer behind campaign apps created for Ted Cruz and Greg Abbott, as well as a Ukrainian steel magnate named Serhiy Taruta.

I'm definitely a fan of @KevinMKruse and am very thankful for this thread. But, as a non-historian, I would like to offer a little push-back on each of these points, if I may. Not in defense of @RealCandaceO (please no!), but in defense of criticizing Dems, LBJ, and Sanger. 1/
2/ Dr. Kruse rightly notes that the first Klan was almost entirely Democrat, but seems to want to make the Second Klan appear to be some sort of 50/50 R and D. The photo he critiqued was indeed a Chicago meeting, which more than likely contained majority Republicans.
3/ During the “Great Migration,” Northerners reacted in violence and rage to the incoming millions and the North was certainly Republican. But the Second Klan, just like the first, was still largely a Southern Democrat organization.

You guys: Roger Stone thinks I suck.

😢

Even worse, he's not threatening to sue me this time.
Here's the post that made Roger Stone so cross.

Also, if Roger Stone calls me a #See You Next Tuesday can I call him a rat-fucker on TV?
