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.

If you’re wondering why Democrats are responding to what Haley Stevens did with a sense of betrayal it’s because it was quite literally betrayal. She told a number of her close friends and colleagues and staff that she’d be at church with Jim Clyburn - they were waiting for her there! And as for the notion that she’s choosing the candidate that isn’t promoting hate how can she justify that when just in the last few days Abdul has been called Muslim Brotherhood, a jihadist, and even a jihadist leprechaun. Sounds like a campaign of hate to me.

It was President Biden that saved the Teamsters Pension Fund, you ungrateful fuck.
Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien here. Just voted in the State of Florida for the first time, and very proud to have cast a ballot for @SenAshleyMoody. Sen. Moody has been extremely helpful working with the Teamsters to protect workers’ pensions, defend good-paying jobs, and support well-funded union apprenticeship programs. The Teamsters look forward to working with Sen. Moody in her role on the Senate HELP Committee to pass the Faster Labor Contracts Act and get this critical legislation signed into law to protect American workers.

If Florida and Texas both go blue on the same night, you will literally never hear me shut the fuck up about it
Outside the Senate, there are two "reach" races where Dems' odds are maybe 25–30%, but victories would send Democrats into spasms of delight and Republicans into apoplexy. Both the FL and TX gubernatorial races would be enormous gets for Team Blue.

Imagine how much better the world would be if Mitch McConnell hadn't blocked his nomination to the Supreme Court. Then Kavanauh wouldn't have been on the court to give Trump immunity from GARLAND'S PROSECUTION of Trump.
Imagine how much better the world would be today, if Merrick Garland had done his job and put Trump in prison.

I won't be able to outspend the billionaires supporting my opponent, but I know that we can outwork them. We can have a government that works for us. It's our time. Let's get to work and win this thing.
