I worked at a law firm for seven years (I'm not a lawyer). One thing I noticed was that every year, a bill was proposed by a state legislator. It mandated the death penalty for any woman who had an abortion.

The only difference from year to year was the *method* of execution required. One year it was death by hanging, the next by electric chair, then firing squad, lethal injection, etc. etc. etc. I imagine the guy jerked off while writing those bills!

But note, he never lost his office. The voters and the corrupt system kept that psycho securely in place. And this is a famously "liberal" state.

Dow H. Drukker, Republican representative from New Jersey, head-and-shoulders portrait, facing left [between ca. 1913 and 1918]

1 photographic print.

Dow Henry Drukker was an American Republican Party politician from New Jersey who represented the state's 7th congressional district from 1914 to 1919. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dow_H._D
New Jersey is a state located in both the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions of the United States. Located at the geographic hub of the heavily urbanized Northeast megalopolis, it is bordered to the northwest, north, and northeast by New York State; on its east, southeast, and south by the Atlantic Ocean; on its west by the Delaware River and Pennsylvania; and on its southwest by Delaware Bay and Delaware. At 7,354 square miles (19,050 km2), New Jersey is the fifth-smallest state in land area. According to a 2024 U.S. Census Bureau estimate, it is the 11th-most populous state, with over 9.5 million residents, its highest estimated count ever. The state capital is Trenton, and the state's most populous city is Newark. New Jersey is the only U.S. state in which every county is deemed urban by the U.S. Census Bureau. It is the most densely populated U.S. state.

The image is a black-and-white portrait of a man from what appears to be the early to mid-20th century, judging by the style of his clothing and the photographic quality. The man is dressed in formal attire, wearing a dark suit jacket with a white shirt and a dark tie. His hair is neatly combed and parted to the side. The background is plain and light-colored, likely a studio backdrop, which is typical for formal portraits of the era. The man is seated and appears to be looking directly at the camera with a slight smile, giving the image a composed and dignified appearance. The overall tone of the photograph is formal and suggests it may have been taken for a professional or personal record.

Borowitz Report Satire
How to Identify Fugitive Democrats
By Texas Governor Greg Abbott
My fellow Americans:

Borowitz Report Satire How to Identify Fugitive Democrats By Texas Governor Greg Abbott My fellow Americans: As you may know, 51 cowardly Democrat legislators are on the run from Texas. They are shirking their duty to rid our glorious state of the representative government that has plagued us for far too long. These Democrats could be anywhere. They could be in your town. They could be hiding under your bed. More likely, they are at a farmer’s market, selecting artisanal pickles. The following are tips to help you identify Democrats in your midst: * Democrats are often seen carrying tote bags featuring the logos of PBS, NPR, Doctors Without Borders and other subversive organizations. * Democrats can be found in Starbucks, ordering beverages with oat milk, or salads with quinoa. (Note: Democrats are the only people who like quinoa.) * Democrats do not eat cats and dogs, but they do rescue them. * Someone driving a car with a bumper sticker that says RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES could be a Democrat, but it could also be a member of QAnon. If the car stereo is playing Bruce Springsteen, it’s a Democrat. If you see someone with any of these identifying characteristics, remember: Democrats are dangerous. Some may be armed with concealed pocket Constitutions. To help bring these fugitives to justice, immediately report your sighting to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. He will be standing by at one of his three primary residences. God Bless America, Gov. Greg Abbott

Big story from - taking last-ditch measures to keep GOPs from further the electoral in order to further reduce numbers of Dems being elected to from that state. History repeats itself, but now a law will impose big penalties. The Dems are prepared for that risk. texastribune.org/2025/08/03/te

During the first few months of new #Trump administration #WhiteHouse slashed #cybersecurity budgets, staff, and initiatives. And some, including cybersecurity experts & #legislators, are not happy about it. One of them is Colin Ahern, chief cyber officer for state of #NewYork. In a recent interview with TechCrunch, Ahern said that both he and New York Governor #KathyHochul are worried that the Trump administration’s cuts to cybersecurity are putting the country at #risk. techcrunch.com/2025/07/28/new-

LEGISLATORS INSPECT EVERGLADES DETENTION CENTER FIND INHUMANE CONDITIONS

Heather Cox Richardson 7/12/25 LEGISLATORS INSPECT EVERGLADES DETENTION CENTER FIND INHUMANE CONDITIONS More information coming about about the conditions of immigrant detention are also unlikely to increase support for the administration's policies. Today, at least five members of Congress and about 20 state legislators toured the new ICE detention center in the Everglades. The tour was planned rather than unexpected, enabling staff to prepare for it. Nonetheless, Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) said: "These detainees are living in cages. The pictures you've seen don't do it justice. They are essentially packed into cages. Wall to wall humans. Thirty-two detainees per cage.... There are three tiny toilets that...have a sink attached to it, so...they get their drinking water and they brush their teeth where they poop, in the same unit." Nine hundred men are currently in the facility.
