Texas has met the challenge...

... and yet again, retains it august title of ANUS OF THE UNIVERSE!
There are actually more registered Democrats in Texas than there are Republicans, but the grotesque corruption that is the hallmark of the Republican Party, especially under the iron fist of Governor "Hot Wheels" Abbott and his malignant minions, Lt. Governor, Dan Patrick, and Attorney General, Ken Paxton, obscene gerrymandering has given the Texas GOP a stranglehold on power; every Republican's wet dream, and a one-word euphemism for total dominion over the lives of others.
Fight back, Texas!

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
