““If it’s a national emergency, we can do it without Congress,” Trump said.”
Congressbeings secure in their cushy positions, reaping lots of benefits and gratuities (now not taxed!) might ought to look out.

------ later update:
Glad to see y’all are yucking it up. I’m happy that nobody imagines that Trump will decide there’s no need for a Congress anymore and just lets 'em all go home. Maybe with a payoff, if they’re Republicans. Maybe a cage in Gitmo if they’re not.

Off topic: We should eliminate all singular English pronouns. We’ve already eliminated the second person. The third person pronouns are unnecessarily gendered, so our kids regularly don’t use them. The first one is just a single letter, and that’s just not right.
Who’s with us?

TBH, I’m inclined to hope Paxton wins the R primary, because he will do less damage to our state as the most junior out of of 100 senators than he is doing now as Texas AG.

The Texas GOP is engaging in the midcycle gerrymandering because President Trump asked them to.
Because a New York shyster named Donald threatened them.
Some representation there, Texas. No wonder the grid doesn’t work.

Thanks. I teach at a public university, Hispanic-serving institution, many 1st-gen, recognized as veteran-friendly, Carnegie Tier 1. I’m white, cis, male, Full: ergo, I have so much privilege that I feel an obligation to stick it out on behalf of those with less.
