Texas Democratic Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee has died
« on: July 20, 2024, 07:06:42 am »
Austin American-Statesman

Longtime Texas Democratic Congresswoman Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee has died. She was 74.

Lee's family posted a statement on X announcing the following:

"Today, with incredible grief for our loss yet deep gratitude for the life she shared with us, we announce the passing of U.S. Representative Sheila Jackson Lee of the 18th Congressional District of Texas. A fierce champion of the people, she was affectionately and simply known as "Congresswoman" by her constituents in recognition for her near-ubiquitous presence and service to their daily lives for more than 30 years."

Lee announced in June that she has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

Jackson Lee has been in office since 1995 representing Texas' 18th District in the House of Representatives. Now in her 15th term in Congress, Jackson Lee is a member of the House judiciary, homeland security and budget committees and is a member of the judiciary subcommittee on crime, terrorism and homeland security.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

Sheila Jackson Lee
@SJacksonLee

I have no idea what Donald Trump was talking about last night. For more than an hour, he rambled and lied. He is unfit for the Presidency! Now, my friends, is the time to focus on beating him and his Project 2025 monstrosity. Enough is enough!

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I still expect Biden to resign before the DNC to assure Harris the nomination.

So far, I have heard the former mayor Sylvester Turne wants the job.
Turner, Hildago, won't matter.
