Ken Paxton’s own lawyer just endorsed our campaign for the US Senate. We’re building a big tent to take on this corrupt system that Ken Paxton embodies.
BREAKING: Ken Paxton’s own lawyer just endorsed James Talarico: “I defended Ken Paxton for years in the impeachment trial and in state criminal cases. But in my view, I think Ken has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas.  And unlike Ken, I believe that you, James, believe in unity over division and that you know how to assemble not only Democrats but Independents and Republicans and we need that right now.  We need unity, we don't need any more division and that's why I'm supporting you.”

The Voting Rights Act was reauthorized by Reagan and Bush, and enforced by a Republican Supreme Court majority for 55 years. The idea that it was far-left partisan Democratic legislation is just ahistorical.

It's literally -- literally -- a tax on empty luxury properties that nobody lives in. These people already live in Florida, you dumbass.

Texas is a world economic powerhouse. The people of Texas built that power. But under Greg Abbott: ➡️ Texas incomes are rising slower than the nat’l average; ➡️ We have the most uninsured working people; the most uninsured children. ➡️ Texans work more than the nat’l average. After 12 years of Greg Abbott, Texans are working harder and getting less: that’s the Greg Abbott Corruption Tax and I’m running to end it.

The “protect women’s sports” crowd has been using women athletes as props. Now a WNBA star is publicly telling them to stop. Brianna Turner: “Don’t use athletes like me to exclude others.”

Boating is not a luxury in South Carolina. It’s a way of life. Our state is home to more than 350,000 registered recreational boats and a marine industry supporting over 27,000 jobs and generating a $6.5 billion economic impact. Our No Tax on Boat Loan Interest Act extends the above-the-line loan interest deduction for cars to boats, allowing American families to deduct up to $10,000 annually in boat loan interest on American-made boats. More affordable boats mean more families recreating on the water, more marine manufacturing jobs in South Carolina, and more investment in an industry already generating billions in economic impact. South Carolina STRONG.

Presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum shows us governing to improve peoples lives is a choice. Mexico will have universal healthcare within 3 years of her coming into power. Meanwhile, millions of Americans will lose healthcare in July to fund ICE, billionaires, and war. Shameful.
By presidential decree, @Claudiashein is expanding health care to all Mexicans through the establishment of the Universal Health Service. Beginning in 2027, "any citizen can attend any health institution and be guaranteed full and free coverage throughout the national system."

Trump is stealing your taxpayer dollars to pay for a monument to himself.
New reporting reveals Trump will finance his arch by taking $15 million in taxpayer funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Mr. President: I have a better idea. Instead of spending over a trillion dollars on never-ending wars abroad while plunging the working class into poverty here at home, let’s invest in universal childcare, Medicare for All and affordable housing. America first!
Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

This is the proud language of a white supremacist. There’s no other way to describe it and no defense of it. Pure racism.
Trump on Somali-Americans in Minnesota: "They're low IQ. I can generalize. They're low IQ people. They're bad people." (Note that moments later he claims Indianapolis is in Minnesota)

This exchange just happened on the Senate floor. Cornyn: “I don’t understand how the SAVE Act disenfranchises voters.” Durbin: “Happy to explain. Driver’s licenses don’t qualify under the bill. 50% of Americans don’t have passports.” Cornyn: “Why not just amend it?” Durbin: “When’s the last time the Senate actually amended a bill?” Silence. The SAVE Act requires passport-level documentation to register to vote. 50% of Americans don’t have a passport. The people least likely to have passports: the elderly, the poor, rural Americans, young first-time voters. The people most likely to have passports: wealthy Americans. This is not voter protection. This is voter selection. And when a senator suggested fixing it — his own colleague couldn’t name the last time the Senate amended anything. That’s the Senate in 2026.
