Here's a path comparison of the May 27, 1997 F5 Jarrell tornado vs the March 21, 2022 EF-1 Jarrell tornado. Monday's tornado crossed the 1997 path in two places. This coming May marks the 25 year anniversary of the May 27 tornado, the last F5 to have struck the state of Texas. pic.twitter.com/joDlEmS4ER

I can't get over the fact that Ted Cruz yelled at Montana airport employees "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" and they had to call the cops on him because he was so pissed that he was missing his flight back to DC to ask Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson if babies are racist

Sen. John Cornyn claimed he wasn’t 'arguing the merits or lack of merits of same-sex marriage' while questioning Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson over her views of the Supreme Court’s role in policymaking…but it sounds like he is. Watch the exchange 🤔 pic.twitter.com/oTPJjKcl7k

I've never seen that look on Judge Hidalgo's face before. She appears nauseous. Hope she's feeling okay. (Probably feels better than Felicity Pereyra).

Today I learned I live in the congressional district with the highest uninsured rate in the nation #TXCD29.
