Brandon, no one can trust you.
You lick the boots of people who raised healthcare costs, gutted Medicaid and Medicare, and said, “Seniors who collect Social Security should be hit with a mallet.”
Now you pretend to champion healthcare? Families, hospitals and TX-23 know better.
You’re a disgrace.
I have actual plans for rural healthcare, expanding tricare, community care, and a plan to get the appropriations seat to pay for it.
You spend donor money on junk food while slandering me on things I haven’t said.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The quoted statement is a joke from a comedy podcast referencing the film Midsommar, not a serious claim or policy. Herrera's campaign platform states he opposes cuts to Social Security and Medicare benefits.

Just chatted with a conservative-leaning independent in El Paso who voted:
Senate: left blank
Governor: Abbott
U.S. House: Escobar (D)
Ticket splitters! They still exist!
If @GregAbbott_TX appeals this ruling, he will be admitting there is some pretty damning information in those emails.
Elon Musk owns @KenPaxtonTX and he owns @GregAbbott_TX, too.we can’t let Musk own Texas.
Vote @GinaHinojosaTX and @jamestalarico.
New: Gov. Greg Abbott must let his political opponent, Gina Hinojosa, review more than 1,000 pages of his unredacted communications with Elon Musk, a Travis County Dem judge rules.
Abbott likely to appeal before Hinojosa reviews anything. #txlege

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.
LOLOL…
So @GregAbbott_TX is focused on “banning Sharia law.”
Meanwhile @GinaHinojosaTX is focused on funding public schools, protecting communities from unregulated data centers, and won’t ever sell out our state to billionaires like Elon Musk.

Elon Musk is using Ken Paxton (the attack dog he has purchased) to go after Sam Altman, his top business and geopolitical rival. He didn't even wait until after the election.

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads?
Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them.
The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything.
@ElonMusk: Texas is not for sale.

MUST WATCH INTERVIEW: Republican @MillerForTexas absolutely destroys @GregAbbott_TX on @MSNOWNews with @KatyTurNBC for approving more than 30 data center permits after promising Texas that all data center permits are on hold.
“He took $20 million from the data center people.”
My heart is filled with hope.
Hope that Texas voters see past the hate-filled fear mongering that is in every Republican ad telling you to fear immigrants, fear transgender Americans, fear those who are different than you.
Hope and the ballot box can change everything. 💙🙏🏽

Elon Musk is funding Greg Abbott’s campaign while receiving $1.7B in property tax breaks and vendor contracts steered his way by the Governor.
Now, Abbott is planning on selling our beach, Boca Chica State Park, to the world’s only trillionaire.
Texas - we can’t trust @GregAbbott_TX to hold data center developers accountable and protect us from the rising utility costs and environmental damage that they bring.
Vote @GinaHinojosaTX
Gov. Greg Abbott has raised about $9 million from data center-related donors since July 2025, which accounts for about 13% of the donations he’s taken in during that time.

Early voting starts tomorrow. Let’s do this, Texas.
Go to IWillVote.com/Texas to make a plan to vote.
When you head to the voting booth, remember that @GregAbbott_TX sells us out every chance he gets.
Whether it’s tax breaks for billionaire data center developers, a voucher scam to fund private schools, or selling out OUR PUBLIC LANDS to Elon Musk! 🤯
Vote @GinaHinojosaTX
Exclusive: Sources familiar with internal discussions of the potential sale said Elon Musk’s SpaceX is the prospective buyer and confirmed that the 1,300-acre property in question is Boca Chica State Park. texasmonthly.com/news-politi…
He. Could. Have. Done. This. MONTHS AGO!
@GregAbbott_TX has called 12 special sessions during his tenure as Governor. One lasted only 12 days.
This is called “gaslighting.”
Vote @GinaHinojosaTX
Greg Abbott only comes to communities like El Paso to raise campaign money.
Texans want to know why he invited data centers to our state, why he defunded public schools with his voucher scheme, and why he didn’t stand up to Trump’s takeover of Big Bend.
Vote @GinaHinojosaTX
Elon Musk is buying the senate seat for Ken Paxton.
Billionaires buy themselves Senators so they can keep exploiting our resources, our communities and avoid being taxed.
The good news is we can stop them if we turn out the vote for @jamestalarico.
