Never forget that Ken Paxton killed the bipartisan Texas Dream Act.
Nunca se olviden que Ken Paxton eliminó la bipartidista Acta del Sueño de Texas.

Few have so routinely profaned God’s name like this man who pats himself on the back as some sort of pseudo savior. And who opened the door to such blasphemy? Millions of my fellow Christians. An abject travesty.

It is AMAZING seeing Tarrant County Sheriff Waybourn talk about law & order in his anti @TeamTalaricoHQ ad considering he has not only had one, but TWO sons arrested in Tarrant County, one injured an officer and the other solicited a minor for sex. OH, and people die in his jail.

NEW: Talarico just started running this new paid digital ad on YouTube
The ad - which appears to be designed to mobilize Black voters - is being targeted at specific zip codes
Made an interactive with the zips targeted, so you can zoom in, here: rpubs.com/aarenge/talarico_z…

The dumbest takes are MAGA trying to claim Obama’s line about Trump making the WH look like a Cheesecake Factory is somehow elitist because CF fans will be offended that someone doesn’t want the WH to look like a chain restaurant. Even their culture war BS is lame this cycle.

No matter where he goes, making sure all of Texas knows that after 12 years, Greg Abbott has lost his way and left them behind.

TEXAS POLITICS: Huge crowd in San Antonio to see Talarico.
1,800 people inside Club 1902, at least 1,000 people turned away due to capacity restrictions, including most of the folks in this video.

Let’s stop pretending the president isn’t a wretched racist. He is. The question is, who are we? Donald Trump will spend the rest of his life as he always has: steeped in vile pride, hatred, and self-consumption. The rest of us have a choice to make. Choose wisely.

Politico: Chuck Rocha, an advisor to James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa, the DGA’s lack on spending on the Texas governor’s race

So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?
Elon Musk has cemented his record as the largest individual political donor in modern American history.
Musk poured $446 million of his own money into this year’s midterm elections, mostly aimed at preserving the Republican Party’s control of Congress. wapo.st/4igb5Kq

This is totally dishonest. The White House didn’t work with Pope Leo XIV on securing this temporary ceasefire.
Leo XIV was involved with this for months.
Even while he was in the hospital recovering from lung cancer surgery, he called Putin and then Zelenskyy.
The pope wasn’t a supporting actor. He was the protagonist.

Barker has no connection to Texas that I know of and no expertise with which to make statements like this. Republican elected officials in Texas are openly alarmed about rural turnout
Why Talarico Is Losing Texas in the Home Stretch
Former Democratic Political Strategist Evan Barker believes Democrats have neglected rural Texans in the midterm elections, and are underestimating their distaste for a candidate like James Talarico. Barker shares her findings on Democratic advertising in rural areas and how it will impact voter turnout.
