Going to Fox News for thoughtful cultural commentary is like ordering takeout from Hooters. open.substack.com/pub/jasons…

Abbott chose the secret police over the Constitution.
Amid the mushrooming controversy over the deadly shootings in Minnesota, @GregAbbott_TX 's campaign is offering pro-ICE t-shirts for sale as part of a fundraising strategy. #txlege

Are you better off now after 12 years of Greg Abbott? No. When I’m governor, buying a home will be part of the American dream again.

Texans are working more and getting less because of Abbott’s agenda. When I’m governor, we will: + Invest in our neighborhood public schools, + Rein in corporate health care to lower drug costs and insure a million new Texans, + Make it easier for working families to buy a home.

We’ll never have the state we deserve, so long as we have a governor who can be bought. That’s why in 2026 we must defeat Greg Abbott.

As governor, I’ll invest in things that matter: like our kids’ futures, not more breaks for rich donors. That means putting our money back into our public schools.

If we don’t flip Texas before the end of the decade, there won’t be a path for Democrats to win control of Congress or the White House. Everything rests on Texas, and it's time folks started paying attention. apnews.com/article/governors…

Greg Abbott tried to stop the Epstein files from being released to protect wealthy and well-connected pedophiles. After 11 years as Texas governor, this will be his legacy.

Being a decent human being should be a bare minimum requirement for our representatives. And yet we have Chip Roy. He says he cares about children, but his track record proves otherwise. Chip does not represent Texan values and does not deserve another term in office. #FlipChip
The House just voted to condemn Putin’s kidnapping of Ukrainian children. 9 Republicans voted against the resolution. Chip Roy Andy Biggs Tom Tiffany Clay Higgins Eric Burlison Thomas Massie Matt Rosendale Warren Davidson Marjorie Taylor Greene Remember in November.

Everything is bigger in Texas, and our campaign is no exception. Together we are building the broad, diverse coalition that will beat Ted Cruz and win in November.

How my day is going — Me: “Do you know who Chip Roy is?” Guy on phone: “Yes I do.” Me: “And what do you think of him?” Guy on phone: “I would rather he didn’t exist.”

Capone is being prosecuted charged because he didn’t pay income taxes on selling illegal booze, something it’s inconceivable he would have been charged over if he were never a mobster.
Trump is being prosecuted charged because he paid hush money to a mistress, something it's inconcievable he would have been charged over if he were never a candidate for office nymag.com/intelligencer/2023…
