@jamestalarico.bsky.social for Texas US Senate gets it - under his opponent Ken Paxton and Gov. Abbott, data centers are running amok in TX. Talarico has a sensible plan to regulate data centers. Texas, he is the right choice for your next senator, not the corrupt, 15 home owning Paxton.

Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.

Dem candidates should also take a page from Troy Jackson. He calls out the big money (specifically from Musk) trying to buy Collins another term. A growing percentage of the electorate is really getting sick of the wealthy class buying elections, Dems should jump on this. youtu.be/RG9U_cSdsKQ?...
