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."

When Trump says “WE” are making a lot of money this is who he means
Out today: “I’m feeling some trepidation as a Republican. Democrats seem to be outpacing Republicans this week by a decent margin … but it could go either way.”
'I’m Feeling Some Trepidation': Will Talarico Pull Off a Generational Upset over Paxton?
It's almost Election Day and Texas is once again on center stage. Here's the view from the campaign trail in the nation's most expensive, most highly anticipated 2026 contest.

James Talarico’s message to Gen Z: “You may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you. Your landlord cares about politics. Your insurance company cares about politics. And until you care about politics, they're gonna keep using the political system to screw you over.”
I feel vaguely bad that the Milwaukee Brewers just won the WS for the first time, after sorry decades of failure that rival the Cubs' (albeit not as many) and nobody seems to care very much. You go, Brew Crew! You rule! A dominant season and a deserved championship! Enjoy it, MKE!
BREAKING: Texas Republican endorses James Talarico: “I got a chance to serve with some great men in the legislature — Ken Paxton was not one of them. I think it's important that we can trust our senator… That is why I'm supporting James Talarico.”
Asked if he agrees with Trump's comments that Warsh is "great" but the rest of the Fed board is political and "would like to see the country do badly," Warsh declines to say: "Not going to be responding to quotes from public officials." Says he's proud to be chair and Fed made a good decision today
I know this will not shock you, but Trump is putting fucking weirdos in positions of power where they are being weird on the taxpayer dime. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-admi...

Trump is going to declare victory when Republicans lose the midterms, and he’s going to cry about election fraud until his very last breath. America must be steadfast & resolute in overcoming his outrageous attempts to overthrow democracy. We must resist this madness & restore our nation’s sanity.
It was never about illegal immigration.

This oil company is linked to 1,000 pollution incidents and other violations. Oklahoma never punished it.
