Really misapplying "turn the other cheek" here.
Everyone here understands that Paxton is a crook. A lot of republicans are upset, feel like Cornyn was run out of town because Trump wanted Paxton. While there are plenty of Trump lovers here, a lot of people are upset about the Iran war and the price of everything. Lots of republicans staying home.
A reminder that Paxton is a strong supporter of Trump: bsky.app/profile/texa...
Jeffrey Brown @texasgeologist.bsky.social · 25m agoTrump posted an AI image of himself as 4-star general between Patton & MacArthur. It's ironic given that Donald "Bone Spurs" Trump is a draft dodger who called America's war dead "Suckers & losers" (confirmed on the record by John Kelly, former Chief of Staff, a ret. 4-star Marine Corps General)
So Jesus would endorse domestic abuse? Johnson is such a putz.

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.
My favorite posts by politicians are policy and action posts, followed very closely by engagement with the community posts…okay, maybe it's a tie.

He owns 15 homes? In this economy?! Wow...
Gee, seems like commonsense. Yet not common at all. Hope #Talarico pantses Paxton in November.

Cutting Medicare Part D subsidies isn’t “fiscal discipline.” It’s a prescription for higher drug costs, more untreated illness, and greater long‑term healthcare spending. Seniors deserve stability, not surprise hikes in essential medication costs.
90 Days til Election Day! Enjoy the 90s hit from Wilson Phillips - “ Hold On” which also seems appropriate. Ever wonder what the differences are between State and U.S. Senators? Or state Senators and state House Representatives? This explains it briefly.
Has anyone seen that ring the Belgian Diamond people gifted Child-Rapist Trump? It's bigger than any Superbowl Ring. It has 300 Diamonds in it, as well as other fine gems. Why did they do this? Trump announced there would Not be any new Tariffs on Diamonds. $50 Mil.

1/ 🧵 It costs 8 cents to make you skip an election. Not a typo. A peer reviewed PNAS study found the right ad, aimed at the right voter, erased 1 in 6 votes of color in swing counties. The billionaires who lost Michigan can buy a lot of 8 cent nudges. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

MSM lemmings: vigorous political debates appealing to voters is actually how it's supposed to work, NOT the blind fearful obedience to a corrupt criminal, like you've chosen. "When voters speak, their parties and political commentators should listen."🎯🎯
