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.
Ken Paxton Greg Abbott and Dan Patrick have always known this and do not care.
steven monacelli@stevanzetti.bsky.social · 1h agoIf ICE can send subpoenas to deanonymize social media accounts, couldn't they have done it for the anonymous and overtly racist account we found is run by one of their own employees who is still working there?
BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.
Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.

ICYMI: We took our message directly to Texans in the first statewide debate of the election. This campaign is about putting working Texans first & taking on the Greedy Few who rig the rules for everyone else. Texans are proving that organized people can beat organized money when we stand together.
*If* Ken Paxton debates Talarico he WILL NOT answer any question clearly or directly. Paxtons word salad will rival the Taylor Farms alleged parasite.
Team Talarico@teamtalaricohq.bsky.social · 22h agoNEW AD: Ken Paxton is refusing to answer basic questions about his corruption and criminal record. Texans are demanding answers. What is Ken Paxton hiding?
Fellow Americans: This is how Greg Abbott and his appointed, not elected, Secretary of State suppress the voters in Texas. Tarrant County TX (Fort Worth) is the fastest growing city/county in the country. Tim O’Hare needs to be deeply investigated.
Jen Rice@jenrice.bsky.social · yesterdayIn TX: Tarrant County Judge Tim O'Hare just CLEARED the meeting room, kicking out public speakers who are opposed to the GOP plan to cut half of the battleground county's Election Day voting locations for November:
Greg Abbott is well known for neglecting Texans basic needs. Never, ever, has Abbott succeeded in micro-managing anything other than his TV camera operators & makeup team.
ProPublica@propublica.org · yesterdayNEW: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said he's willing to "micromanage" Corpus Christi's water crisis. But he's gone quiet on the financial troubles of an agency that could help expand the region's water supply — despite Abbott having appointed its entire board. With KRIS 6 News and @texastribune.org
NOTICE: Texas Gov Greg Abbott’s PR statement announcing a temporary pause data centers is a pre-election delay tactic. If he wins again in Nov, he will immediately lift the pause that will benefit his big, BIG, donors. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is essentially a lobbyist for the data center bros.
All of the Texas epic failures, like infrastructure, having babies, voter suppression, public education, and women’s right have all happened under the watch of Greg Abbott, Dan Patrick, and Ken Paxton. All of the failures. Vote them out of public service in Nov

It seems Gregory Wayne Abbott’s consistent delays in helping Texans in critical need always ends up being his leverage to with his big donors

John Cornyn is weak! His legacy in Texas will be a county dump named after him.
conifergirl.bsky.social@conifergirl.bsky.social · yesterdayFrom Stuart Greenberg: GOP Sens. John Cornyn and Thom Tillis are assholes!! If they really wanted to do the right thing, they’d use their new found power to get all the Epstein Files released before voting to advance Todd Blanche. Instead they roll over, sit up and perform on cue.
I hope so, Talarico is a great candidate, and Ken Paxton human scum incarnate.
Slightly off topic, but if y’all think Blanche is bad, and he is, but If elected, TX “AG”Ken Paxton will make Blanche look like a saint. Vote for Talarico
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayWhitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "
Traveling snake oil salesman Lt Gov Dan Patrick only worships political power and the the temple of gold coins. “Dan Patrick received $3 million from a group that wanted to influence the Ken Paxton corruption trial, and it worked.” www.commoncause.org/texas/press/...
Dovewoman 💙 🇺🇦 💙@dovewoman.bsky.social · 2d agoTrump, Paxton & Cruz hit Talarico with their worst early on… this is saying they don’t have anything to use against him. Trump & his cronies were attacking Talarico because he didn’t eat BBQ. In Texas those are fightin’ words… btw, he DOES! Talarico for Texas #Blues
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼⚡️🇺🇸⚡️🙏⚡️ Kudos! #Talarico “Politics of Union”🌟🇺🇸🌟 James Talarico is a presence that is needed in our #UScongress - And YES! He can win!⚡️⚡️⚡️ Great interview with #Maddow ⚡️💙⚡️

MaddowBlog@maddowblog.bsky.social · 2d ago"Politicians like Ken Paxton, they use those difficult issues to rile people up, to divide us, to distract us in order to win power for themselves." -James Talarico on not taking the bait on trans panic.
James Talarico: Since taking office, Ken Paxton has become a multi-millionaire — all while most Texans’ pay has remained stagnant for decades. He now owns 15 homes, while most Texans can't afford one. We can't afford Ken Paxton's corruption.
These are the type that attorney & former Texas Supreme Court Judge John Cornyn like. Cornyn has mastered false piety, and apparently, legal incompetence.
Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 2d agoNOTE: The lawyer/law firm that represented Trump in his Capital One money laundering lawsuit is the same lawyer Judge Williams referred to the bar for disciplinary action in the bogus Trump IRS lawsuit that resulted in the slush fund and tax immunity.
This is Tex Lt Gov Dan Patrick (not his birth name) who gives *millions* of Texan’s taxpayer money to the data center tech bros. billionaires. Dan doesn’t care abt our water, air, land, food, and health. He cares abt HIS donor $ quid pro quo. Vote OUT Dan Patrick. Vote for Vikki Goodwin.
