Imagine losing like this and then just repeating all the same talking points that everyone hated
I'm seriously in shock. I don't know what just happened in my country. What I know is that our children are no longer safe. Our borders are gonna be wide open. We're gonna have a state income tax. Our churches, Christianity—it's all gone. And let's not even talk about public education. What did we just do?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Texas does not have and has no concrete plan for a state income tax. Its constitution prohibits the legislature from imposing one on individuals, requiring a two-thirds vote in both chambers plus voter approval to change; winning candidates have stated opposition.

Tarrant County Judge Tim O'Hare (R) concedes to Alisa Simmons (D).
With Dems leading in the two county commissioner races, looks like Dems are on track to control the governing bodies of TX's five largest counties

Austin/Travis County election watchers: don't expect to see early vote results post at 7:01 p.m.
The county clerk isn't going to post any EV results until the last Election Day voter casts their ballot. Who knows when that'll be.
Fun fact - this is a bigger number than what Ted Cruz won by in 2018.

This is WILD.
Insane story about how the Texas voucher program is giving people $10k in taxpayer dollars to spend on $50 worth of tuition, and then letting them spend the rest on state-approved vendors of "school supplies."
Here is the waste, fraud and abuse.

Oh?
Mike Rogers will be another rubber stamp for Donald Trump’s dangerous agenda. We can’t afford to give MAGA another Senate seat in November. #MISEN

How the hell did this Administration allow a 28-year-old DOGE operative with zero government experience to take over USAID, fire thousands of federal employees, and shut down lifesaving aid programs around the world?
Not to mention that HR had zero record of him working there, he never completed his background paperwork to legally start working for the agency, and he didn’t even have an ID badge, because, officially, he didn’t exist as an employee.
And yet, all on his own, this man was given the go ahead to lock staff out of their own systems and use your taxpayer dollars to gut lifesaving programs with zero transparency.
The Trump Administration owes the American people and Congress answers. Who signed off on this? Why on earth was he given this kind of power?
This wasn’t an accident. Someone handed this man unchecked power, someone knew he wasn’t legally authorized to use it, and someone decided that there was nothing wrong with that.
Well, everything is wrong with that. Congress needs answers about this, and that is NOT optional.
