Here’s the actual OD data.

It is delayed about 5-6 months so cause of death can be attributed. No one is making anything up or hiding bodies.

The big rise hit during Covid and peaked a couple of years ago. Deaths were down to 80K ish when Biden left, have dropped another 10K or so since Trump.


It’s certainly dropped, and things are actually looking better on some city streets. But I’m pretty confident they are undercounting the overdoses by a somewhat significant amount. A lot of “unhoused deaths” that are just not getting detailed autopsies and tox reports. I don’t blame cities for passing on doing those tests. If there is no criminal investigation involved, it probably doesn’t make sense.

First post-runoff poll from Texas.

Talarico - 47
Paxton - 44

Holy Christ this poll is an abject disaster for Kenny P. Not the numbers, but what’s happening under the hood. Cornyn voters don’t like Paxton because of “criminality” (not my words, the words of those polled).

This is officially an uphill battle for Republicans. Hispanic voters are mad because Trump hasn’t focused on cost of living (those tariffs working beautifully and Iran isn’t helping matters) and centrists think Paxton is a crook.

What I need is DumbCoach to post another far rightist’s tweet about what a ***** Talarico is (not untrue, the only voters who care are in the tank for Paxton), and everyone will feel better.

It is going to be a fun 6 months.

Going on vacation makes you not principled? You are an intellectual lightweight, and that's being kind.
The comment regarded the Epstein list that Massie claims he has and has said he’s going to name them and yet hasn’t. A “principled” person who actually had a legitimate list would have released it already. Perhaps you should look in the mirror where you would see a mentally-challenged individual.

Not even CLOSE to a nuclear explosion !

See the Iranian tunnel system hit with the 30,000 MOAB's and the 4 HOURS of secondary explosions.

But neither had radioactive properties !
No mushroom cloud. Certainly he took some liberty in his description.
