That just might be the thing people in Texas remember next time he's up for re-election. I hope all his future opponents of both parties are being photographed helping out people stuck by the side of the road and families without power or water.

How many times have we thought people would finally be offended by Ted Cruz? But yeah, I live in hope that people in Texas will figure out that AOC didn't sabotage their electrical grid.

I need to get more productive. And yet.

In all politics is local news, in past years the local city races have always been between known democrats, although they are in theory non-partisan. This year the wife of the state senator for the area, a Republican, changed her designation from Republican to Democrat the day after she announced that she was running for mayor. Tons of money and the nastiest lie filled campaign ever. Also a couple city commission seats experiencing the same kind of big money sabotage of long time local dems. And of course sign stealing, although they did immediately come replaced my signs when I emailed the current nice mayor's campaign. Yes, local level Republicans are scoundrels too.

Did I get my David's mixed up again?

Was Cruz just in the last election? Wondering how long before his next race. People can have surprisingly short memories. I don't have a lot of faith in people understanding and believing that the human cost of this disaster is due to anti-regulation and pro-privatization policies.

That chucklefuck isn't up for re-election until 2024, unfortunately.

Yeah not cool to go to Mexico during this, even forgetting pandemic!!

I’m registering people and checking IDs, it’s a big clinic that does like 1500 people a day so they need lots of volunteers—I think they pay the people actually giving the shots thougg

Yeah, he was re-elected in 2018. Sigh. Everyone hates him! Including other Republicans! Fuck this guy, seriously!

It looks as if the foot or so of powdery snow has been condensed into about 6 inches of pack snow by the sun today. Easier to keep one's footing in, so that's nice.

I checked to make sure the alley cats found the food I put out for them this morning, and not only was it gone, but it appeared there were bird tracks in the snow leading up to the edge of the deck I poured it beneath. They may have gotten a bigger breakfast than I intended. Oops.

Birds do like to steal cat food. Presumably they know the risks.

My dogs are so mad they did not get walked today. Extra time on the back yard is not appeasing Bailey. Miley resolved herself and is now content with sleeping beside me in the recliner.

I’ve done nothing much today. Can’t believe it’s already 3:30.
