TODAY: As diesel prices reach record highs, @JamesTalarico called on Ken Paxton to oppose the war in Iran and support a temporary suspension of federal gas and diesel taxes. Texans are paying the price for this war that Ken Paxton supports.

Why do I keep saying it’s highly important for @jamestalarico to visit Amarillo? Over $100,000 has been donated to his campaign from this city. That’s a massive show of financial support in comparison to Ken Paxton. There are voters here who want that change.

"Only" 0.211% of Bosnia were killed in the Srebrenica genocide "Only" 1.25% of Rohingyas were killed in the Myanmar genocide Genocide is NOT about a headcount of the dead, read the definition before rambling!
Replying to @AbdulElSayed
Only 3 % of Gaza has been killed. No genocide.

If Hinojosa pulls it off, vouchers have to be part of the story. The school board elections in Texas over the last two years were the canary in the coal mine for this even being close right now
I'm genuinely flabbergasted that we got an alliance between a Jan 6er and @GinaHinojosaTX before GTA VI

Lynn and I disagree on a lot, but we agree on this: our public schools are in crisis and can’t survive four more years of Greg Abbott.

GINA HINOJOSA FOR TX GOVERNOR
Gina Hinojosa on Greg Abbott refusing to debate her: “He’s hiding from his record. It is indefensible. He’s been in charge for 12 years now and I just went through the stats: the most uninsured, the most bankruptcies, the most people disconnected from their electricity. That is his record, he owns it and he’s hiding from it and he’s hiding from the voters. He would be a fool to debate me at this point because his record is trash”

Trump and Abbott's redistricting scheme is failing in TX-09, so out-of-state billionaires like Elon Musk are now flooding this district with cash to buy the seat they couldn't rig. Please chip in $10, $15, or whatever you can spare right now to power our grassroots campaign and keep this seat in Democratic hands. Go to secure.actblue.com/donate/le… to make your donation!

Gotta love Mr. "Bro I know I've been in Office since the Obama Admin with a supermajority in the legislature the entire time but I swear bro this time I'm gonna abolish property taxes I swear bro just one more election bro I really mean it this time"
Governor Abbott’s property tax plan CUTS Texans’ bill IN HALF. Now that’s actually more money in your pocket.

LAWSUIT: Eight officers raided his home before dawn. His offense? He filmed an officer speeding, criticized him when he got to a drive-thru, and embarrassed the department. In a free country, criticizing police shouldn’t end in handcuffs. In 2022, Joshua Gibbons filmed a Kingsport, Tennessee police SUV speeding without lights or sirens, violating state law. He caught up with the officer at a drive-thru and had salty words about his disregard for the law. That exchange lasted all of one minute. The consequences for Joshua lasted four years. After someone complained about a different video — an officer flipping Gibbons off — police scoured Gibbons’ YouTube channel for ammunition. Before dawn the next morning, while Gibbons was still in bed, eight armed officers raided his mother’s home to arrest him — for speeding using a cellphone while driving, and disorderly conduct. A judge dismissed the speeding and cellphone charges but convicted him of disorderly conduct, saying he was “offended by the way” Gibbons was “talking to that officer.” Gibbons appealed. At a second trial, a jury again found him guilty. In June, the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals unanimously reversed that conviction and dismissed the charge. The court found “no evidence” that Gibbons’ criticism prevented anyone from doing anything lawful. The court recognized — as many courts had held — that even “profane and insulting” words alone aren’t a crime, especially when directed at police officers, who are trained to exercise restraint. With FIRE’s help, Gibbons is suing to vindicate his First Amendment rights. The First Amendment protects your right to film and criticize police. Kingsport PD needs to hear that message loud and clear.

Imagine if all of this happens: - James Talarico wins easily at the top of the ticket - Gina Hinojosa beats Greg Abbott after being written off at the start of the year - Jon Rosenthal beats Bo French - The TX GOP gerrymander breaks Texas would HAVE to be in swing state talks
