.@jamestalarico's political enemies insinuated that he was gay, wasn't masculine, had a mental breakdown and a sketchy web browser history. He responded by affirming they were made in the image of God, and that he loved them. Voters responded. It was a blow to the 2015-present MAGA era of politics as professional wrestling. politico.com/news/magazine/2…

85,000 students you say? Well there’s 5.5 million public school students suffering in poorly funded schools because of that voucher program.
85,000 Texas kids are benefitting from the school choice program Gina Hinojosa just promised to nuke. 100,000 more are on the waitlist. Randi Weingarten's teacher union donated $347,000 to her campaign.

Oh that is gonna be a FUN special election
NEW: Republican sources in Tennessee tell me President Trump is “encouraging” Governor-elect Marsha Blackburn to appoint Pete Hegseth to her U.S. Senate seat. Blackburn could resign imminently. That would let outgoing Governor Bill Lee name Hegseth quickly and give Trump time to get a new Pentagon chief confirmed during the lame-duck session.

DC/Puerto Rico statehood, M4A or at least a public option, full weed legalization, $15+/hr minimum wage, oh and we're selling tickets to the ballroom demolition
So like what happens if this cycle repeats in 2028?

"MAGA’s Own Private Law Firm" Will Be Led by a Democrat For years, the Texas Attorney General’s Office has been at the forefront of nationwide legal fights, either standing side by side with President Donald Trump or challenging the policies of Democratic administrations. That will end in January. Amid a Democratic surge in Texas that led to James Talarico’s winning a Senate seat and Gina Hinojosa’s triumphing in the governor’s race, the party also took hold of the office currently held by MAGA stalwart Ken Paxton. nbcnews.com/politics/2026-el…

Abdul El-Sayed: “A lot of my policies are just about asking where there’s a corporation with too much power in society, how do we take some of that power back and give it to everyday people”

Texas is going to be the most expensive and hotly contested battleground state for the 2028 POTUS election if the Dems nominate a good candidate.

One of the most insane stats in an election full of them — had literally zero people showed up to vote for Talarico on Tuesday, he still would’ve won by 150k.
James Talarico received *more early votes* then Paxton received in TOTAL This race was over before it began 😭

Breaking: Dana Van de Walker, a Democrat candidate for the Texas Board of Education, leads Republican incumbent Audrey Young by fewer than 600 votes, with only 1% of the vote in the District 8 race unaccounted for, according to unofficial returns. If that holds, Texas Democrats would secure their first majority on the board since 1994. bit.ly/47XCGeM

Will there be a special session to rein in @GinaHinojosaTX’s powers as gov? Unlikely. “Democrats are pretty good at breaking quorum,” said Dade Phelan, former House speaker. “I could see them, no problem, breaking the quorum and running out the clock.” houstonchronicle.com/politic…

Extremely likely because Texas is a blue state
What are the chances of nearly every single county going more democrat in a state trump won by 14 points?
