We should protect all those who call Texas home, including wildlife. When data centers spread into sensitive habitats, Texans risk losing the land, water, and wildlife that make our state plentiful. It's time to put our families and our Texas heritage ahead of Wall Street's AI ambitions.

An inset circle shows two burrowing owls, highlighting wildlife concerns. Large white text over the image reads, "NEWS: DATA CENTER GROWTH RAISES NEW CONCERNS FOR WILDLIFE," with a small bird logo in the bottom-right corner.

1. Now-deleted audio shows that Acting AG Todd Blanche privately told faith leaders the DOJ is working to make the 2022 Dobbs decision, which revoked federal abortion protections, “permanent in every single state.” Blanche also suggested a crackdown on the mailing of abortion pills.🧵

Childcare is now more expensive than college. In the Legislature, I passed a bill to cut property taxes for childcare centers, allowing small businesses like Green Space Nature Preschool to cut costs for working families. In the Senate, I’ll keep fighting for our tiny Texans. 🌱

The Big Ugly Bill took food out of the mouths of hungry children — all so billionaires could get another tax break. But when politicians fail us, Texans show up for each other. Our campaign volunteered at a food pantry in West Dallas — because that’s what Texans do.

James Talarico on Texas officially banning THC: “Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst."

Q: You’ve been Republicans for most of your voting lives. Who’s voting for James Talarico? Republican moms: *all raise their hands* “I like him. I want a middle school teacher who’s like, hey, this is broken. Somebody needs to fix it. Why not me?”

Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.

As someone living in Kyiv, I’m begging you: Please help us stop this. Almost every night, russia strikes Kyiv with ballistic missiles, hitting civilians, homes, and warehouses. We can’t stop these missiles because we don’t have enough Patriot systems. People are dying.

Authorities say wildfires in eastern Washington state forced the evacuation of tens of thousands of people in the Spokane area, including patients at its U.S. Veterans Affairs hospital, while destroying hundreds of homes, businesses and other structures.

Talarico: "Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. Texans will still use THC — but instead of getting it safely from a local small business, they’ll go back to getting it from the black market. From the drug cartels."

I always end up moving right before voting. I literally have not stayed in a single spot to be able to vote in the primaries and then vote in the general it doesn't matter where I've been. But I've tried to vote every time.

James Talarico tells Rachel Maddow that if Democrats win the Senate seat he is running for, "I think we can build the political will to restore the Voting Rights Act." Watch:
