This ad is needed, absolutely. But GOP have control of all southern state county election boards. They know they suck. But they also know how to cheat to win. They are closing almost half of all polling stations in Tarrant County. We need a way to fight back on this.

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."

"Look at what’s actually passed over the last decade. The bathroom bill fights. The voucher pushes. The near-total abortion ban. The grid “fixes” after Uri that fixed basically nothing.
