The Abbott ads attacking Gina Hinojosa are so misleading and deceptive. The idea that Hinojosa could impose a state income tax is ridiculous or that she is for open borders is a fantasy. Abbott’s attacks on teachers and public schools during his rallies at private schools for vouchers were disgusting. He has shown he will say anything or do anything to hold on to power. It is amazing that Hinojosa is so close to him in polling given his 8 to 1 advantage in campaign funds. With Abbott follow the money including the millions he has received from developers of data centers.

The enormous surge of Hispanic/Latino voters all across the country is one of the more remarkable things I’ve seen in all my years in politics. I am sorry Dolores Huerta will not be here to see all this.

Detroit makes the country move. This city is powerful and beautiful. I'm proud to have spent my career here. I can't wait to continue to build it up.

Kentucky residents played a loud recording of the noise pollution from data centers to show its disruptive impact. Within seconds, county officials grew irritated and told them to “act like adults” and turn it off. The corrupt politicians who vote for and push these data centers onto our communities couldn’t handle the piercing sound for a few seconds, yet expect residents to live with it every day. Welcome to the USA, where politicians prioritize the bottom line of the corporations and billionaires that fund their campaigns over the needs of our people and communities.

This is one heck of a lede from the New York Times: “A Chinese businesswoman who had a close relationship with Jensen Huang was found to be passing intelligence to Beijing. President Trump was briefed and took no action.” nytimes.com/2026/10/29/us/po…

Texas! I just cast my ballot. Donald Trump, Greg Abbott and Dan Patrick have led a GOP War on Black America and Black Texas. Let’s kick their ass at the ballot box! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!

For those of you mercifully confused by this and her whole... thing, Nicki Minaj wants two things: a pardon for her brother (who was convicted of sexually abusing an 11 year old girl in New York State, a pardon that can only be granted by the governor) and a pardon for her husband (he didn't register as a sex offender in California, a federal offense, which can only be pardoned by the President.)

Now @JHoganGidley knew he was wrong.
"When I see somebody telling me if I get on an airplane and there's a black pilot I begin to wonder, is he qualified?" "That's not what he said." This CNN segment was derailed after Rep Jim Clyburn attempted to lie about Charlie Kirk's past statements, Hogan Gidley pushes back.

YIKES! It seems @Justinjpearson’s TN-9 opponent state senator @BrentTaylorTN has a history of sending unsolicited nude pics to people who are not his wife. (No wonder Trump wants him in congress) nashvillescene.com/news/pith…

Alabama voters! Tommy Tuberville is one of the DUMBEST people ever in politics. There is no way in hell that he should be governor. Black voters in Alabama should lead a Black tsunami to the polls for @DougJones!

If Dems are going to take control of the House, this is one of the races they need to win. And each has a significant Black voter base! 25/25
