The leader of the Republican Party is stealing money paid by American taxpayers to buy campaign ads for Republicans in the midterms. You can’t vote him out in 5 weeks, but you can vote out the people he’s trying to help with your money he’s thieving while they remain silent.
I need people to remember that Greg Abbott has the sole power to call legislative special sessions.
He called FOUR in 2023 to try to ram through unpopular school vouchers.
He called TWO in 2025 to force redistricting at Trump’s request.
He has called ZERO to address rapid and unregulated data center growth or property tax relief.
Vote wisely.
James Talarico to Fox News on redistricting: “If Republican policies are so popular, why do they need to redraw these maps; why not run on their policies?” WATCH
🗞️ @startelegram: “North Texans interviewed by the Star-Telegram at the Sunday afternoon event raised concerns about education in Texas, including Texas’ private school voucher program championed by Abbott, and affordability issues.”

NEW: Washington’s Cardinal McElroy told Catholics on Sunday to “fight every dimension” of the Trump administration’s war on immigrants and to replace politicians who tolerate it.
“We must recognize that in abandoning the words of Deuteronomy and the Statue of Liberty, we are losing our soul as a nation,” he said.
His homily came on the World Day of Migrants and Refugees, which Pope Leo XIV dedicated this year to migrant children. thelettersfromleo.com/p/on-p…
Once again, on a Sunday, Donald Trump has announced new negotiations with Iran that "will end the war soon". He's done this every Sunday for the last 212 days, and he does it to manipulate the stock market and enrich himself. His voters are too stupid to see it.
What’s crazy is it’s not that hard to for a White House to steer donors to an outside group who can run fluffer ads like this. But no, Trump and this administration wants to take the maximally corrupt route just to show you they can get away with it.

This is 100% real.
Right after Trump says he got a "great reception" at the Presidents Cup in Chicago, a fan literally yells:
"F--king P-dophile!"
This is not edited. This is exactly how it aired on @fox32news.
“If President Trump is able to get away with punishing the media because they’re being critical of a president, he can punish every American for being critical of a president..."
