.@JamesTalarico: In Texas, an out-of-state billionaire gave our governor $12 million to pass a private school voucher scam.
Vouchers take money out of our underfunded public schools and give those tax dollars to wealthy parents who already have their kids in private school.
It is literally a transfer of wealth from the bottom and the middle to the people at the very top, all because of corruption in our political system.

This is Ken Paxton's mugshot.
He was indicted on 3 felony counts for fraud.
He enriched himself by $27 million in public office.
He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery.
He was impeached by his own party for corruption.
Tomorrow, we will stop him.

What a day it has been! ❤️🙏🏾 This morning started with heartbreak, frustration, and uncertainty, but it’s ending with a reminder that there are still so many wonderful people in this world. I want to give a very special thank you to Sam of Auto Glass Mobile. With it being the weekend and most places closed, finding a replacement window wasn’t easy. But Sam went above and beyond! He located a driver’s side window all the way in New Orleans, drove there to pick it up, came back, and installed it for me. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find a replacement for the back window, but he took the time to securely cover it with cardboard so I could make the drive home and have it repaired there. I also want to give a heartfelt thank you to Steven of Baton Rouge, who reached out after hearing what happened, came to see me , and while I was at the book festival, started making calls to find someone who could help. He’s the one who connected me with Sam. Two people who didn’t have to go out of their way for me, but chose to anyway. That means more than words can express.
To each and every one of you who sent encouraging messages, offered prayers, made donations, or simply checked on me today, THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! ❤️ What started as one of the most discouraging mornings I’ve had in a long time turned into a beautiful reminder of the kindness and compassion I try to spread through my own work every day. Two lawnmowers may have been stolen, and my van may have been damaged, but today I gained something far more valuable: another reminder that good people still exist and kindness always finds a way to shine through. I’ll drive part of the way home tonight, stop to rest, and finish the journey tomorrow. I’m tired, but my heart is full of gratitude. Thank you, Baton Rouge, and thank you all for turning a difficult day into one I’ll never forget. ❤️🙏🏾 Auto Glass Mobile

Reporter: Ken Paxton has taken to calling you ‘Talafreako’
@JamesTalarico: If Ken Paxton is worried about freaks, he should stop giving Epstein-style sweetheart deals to pedophiles. This is the guy who just released Adam Hoffman from jail, an admitted child rapist, after one of Ken Paxton’s wealthy lawyer friends got involved in the case.
Ken Paxton even kept him off the sex offender registry. Adam Hoffman was supposed to serve 25 years to life, but instead he served less than a month. As of this week, he’s now back on our streets because of Ken Paxton’s corruption.
Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America, and it is costing Texans, it’s endangering our children, and it must end. The Epstein class has no place in Texas.

Talarico: "Ken Paxton is canceling rallies because nobody is showing up. He can't recruit volunteers, so he uses AI bots. He doesn't have any grassroots donors, so he's relying on the richest man in the world to fund his campaign."

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, James Talarico just unveiled a last minute endorsement from a Republican who served with Ken Paxton in the State House. Every Texan needs to see this.

Ken Paxton voted to fund government contracts with the company WatchGuard.
He then made $2.2 million off his investment in the company.

BREAKING: James Talarico just released an incredible video reminding every American what hope feels like. This is the best political ad we've seen in a long time.

Whenever I'm feeling demoralized, I think of my parishioner John Lewis.
He had no reason to think that he would win when he was crossing the Edmund Pettus bridge.
But he just kept walking. We MUST keep walking.

I challenged Ken Paxton to a debate 85 days ago, but no one has heard from him.
People are getting worried.
I’ve received credible reports he's suffering from a rare condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice.
@KenPaxtonTX: I am asking for proof of ability to debate.

BREAKING: @WillieNelson endorses James Talarico:
“I've gotten to know James Talarico. He's a good man, who will be a good senator for the state of Texas. Please vote and vote for James Talarico.“
Deidre retweeted
Talarico: "Billionaires are pouring an unprecedented amount of money into Texas to try to buy this Senate seat ... they are hoping that Texans will care more about these manufactured culture wars than actual wars. They're hoping Texans will care more about pronouns than prices. But I think Texans see through this distraction."

A quick note about The Bulwark.
We are obviously an outlet with a core worldview. But we also believe in conversation, dialogue, the differences of opinion and the value community. There's a lot of back and forth on this platform all the time about which candidates we favor or not, or what stories we emphasize or don't. No media company is immune from those criticisms. Nor should those criticisms stop.
But what makes The Bulwark unique, imo, is that we also put in the work to better converse, to foster dialogue, and to build community.
Yesterday, many Bulwark members were on the ground in Springfield to talk to members of the Haitian community there. Last night, we held a show in nearby Dayton to raise awareness and funds for those Haitians. I had the honor of hosting a conversation with Carl Ruby, Viles Dorsainvil, and Michaelle Louis — three truly remarkable individuals doing God's work in this corner of Ohio. It made me realize how the root of our problems really is an inability to talk to and understand one another. How we've replaced that, with the manufactured, algorithmic version on the platform on which I type.
As for community, more than 1,000 people attended last night's event, from all over the state of Ohio and well beyond. They were there because they want to make sense of the world and because they want a better world, much like we do. Between them and those who gave online, we have raised $245k for the Haitian Support Center. I'm incredibly proud to play a small role in doing this. It makes me proud, as well, to work at The Bulwark. Please consider giving if you can.

Family, I’m hitting the road and heading to Tampa, Florida (10hr drive), to attend The Mighty 25 Awards Gala, and I’m truly honored that I have been selected as one of this year’s Mighty 25 honorees.
The Mighty 25 recognizes individuals and organizations who turn service into meaningful action, especially in support of service members, veterans, and military families. Honorees come from many different backgrounds , including advocates, creators, philanthropists, policymakers, and community leaders , but they all share one thing in common: using their platform, work, and passion to make a real difference. This recognition represents every child who has served a veteran through the 50 Yard Challenge, every family who has supported our mission, and every veteran we’ve been blessed to help along the way.
