Trump Seeks to Avoid Losing in Texas by Returning it to Mexico
The move was a sign of desperation, political experts said.

Ken Paxton is selling off Texas — our land, our water, our communities. Data centers bankroll Paxton, they get tax breaks, and you get stuck with the bill. We can’t afford Ken Paxton’s corruption. (This ad was made by humans — not AI.)
"A revitalized American liberalism could incorporate Zelensky’s inspirational courage, Magyar’s organizing ability, Carney’s calm competence, and Pope Leo’s moral grounding. Is it too much to hope we could combine some of these elements in one political movement?" www.thebulwark.com/p/winning-mi...
Winning the Midterms Is Not Enough
One wave election won’t defeat Trumpism.

Wise words agn today frm Jen Rubin. It will take yrs 4 U.S. 2 recover frm Trump’s damage, & our reputation in the world will likely never b the same. Our allies were willing 2 rejoin us aftr the 1st Trump admin, whn Biden repaired thm. Aftr a 2nd Trump win, no dice. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

It’s awful & disgusting, but I’m really hoping & believing tht it likely won’t work this time. Everyone knows Musk & hates him, & people don’t have 2 fear thr kids will be turned into a different gender at school bec they already have lost thr healthcare, can’t afford groceries or fill up thr cars.
Peter Baker@peterbakernyt.bsky.social · 11h agoElon Musk to the rescue? The world's richest man has quietly funneled more than $276 million into GOP groups and his super PAC since July, making him by far the largest known donor in the midterms as he tries to save the beleaguered party. @teddyschleifer.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...
If she’s not throwing that lawyer in jail for lying to her face then this is all performative nonsense
It’s time 4 thm 2 learn tht in this admin, giving thm benefit of the doubt is NEVER a good idea. 500 precious trees r gone now. Do better.
Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social · 11h agoJudges should not trust the government.
Continuing on my experience w door knocking 4 a recent Supreme Ct race in WI tht Musk poured millions of cash into, I found there tht essentially everyone hates Elon Musk, & they know who he is. Telling folks he’s spending millions 2 elect the Repub is a powerful motivator 4 folks 2 support the Dem!
News flash: I found during the Supreme Ct race in WI tht Musk spent millions on, tht whn I mentioned 2 folks that Musk had spent those millions supporting the opposition candidate, even folks who were unaware of the race whn I approached thm became interested & agreed 2 vote 4 the Dem candidate.
mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social · 11h agoevery time the media gets to ask Abdul El-Sayed a question they ask him to answer for something Hasan Piker said because they once did an event together. Yet the media never asks Republican candidates to answer for Elon Musk, the #1 Republican fundraiser this cycle and of all time. It's odd!

Would b good if this could b a lesson 2 judges trying 2 do the right thing, 2 move quickly & ferociously the 1st time & not give Trump the chance 2 ignore orders…can he b held in contempt? Sadly, he has immunity 4 any official actions. Tragic.
Kyle Cheney@kyledcheney.bsky.social · 11h agoHAPPENING NOW: Judge Reyes is furious. She has repeatedly told the government to inform her before any major demolition work was done on the golf course. The abrupt removal of 500 trees, without notice, "has cost the government all of its credibility" in this case.
After Jan. 6, 2021, many Trump loyalists headed for the exits. But not Russell Vought. He told the president, I’m going to work night and day to get you back in the White House in four years. Then he and others began working on a plan: Project 2025. Listen to our latest "Paper Trail" episode 👇

Adam Cohen (My Personal Views Only)@axidentaliberal.bsky.social · 24h agoRepublicans are so flustered about Paxton losing Texas that they’re making up wild rumors about Talarico They claim he sought mental health treatment at the Linder Center of Hope in Ohio But both the facility and Talarico exposed the lie-with the candidate saying he’s never even been to the state
