Yeah, it's a no-brainer that Gina supports local control, and Abbott doesn't. I know this feels confusing, y'all, because we all thought local control was a conservative value.
Good for @GinaHinojosaTX for going into the Lion's Den with @KennethRWebster on super-conservative talk radio and holding her own. Typical of a cowardly Governor who will not debate Gina, using Kenny to do his dirty work for him, then clipping this and spinning it. #txlege

It's time to fire NO GAME Greg Abbott! We need a new leader! Vote for Gina Hinojosa for Texas Governor

Strong closing message.
Ken Paxton: The criticism has been that I let a child predator out after 1 day. Well guess what? They served 60 days.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Paxton's office proposed that Adam Hoffman serve 1 day in jail as part of his plea deal. The judge sentenced him to 60 days instead. He was released after serving 29 days with good behavior credit. texastribune.org/2026/05/19/ken… kwtx.com/2026/05/25/for… ibtimes.co.uk/ken-paxton-hof…

This.
For all the Republican fearmongering, a DEMOCRAT ensured Texas doesn’t have a state income tax.
Enjoy that, Republicans.
Enjoy knowing you’ve done literally nothing for Texans.

Anyone at the WH that would like to share documentation of this - he's a demented, mush brain mess. Can't recall a single news story that anyone has died in reflecting pond. Best story was elderly congressman many years ago arrested cavorting in the pond with a prostitute.

In a campaign ad, the Texas governor has been touting this case - a wrongful conviction that an all-GOP court overturned due to *DNA implicating a different man* - as an example of a Democrat DA being soft on crime. kut.org/crime-justice/2026-1…

We made this video during the last election cycle but it still rings so true today on the eve of the most important midterms election in our lifetime. The struggle for a more perfect union never ends. Also, as veterans, the oath to the Constitution never expires. Please join us in voting in overwhelming numbers to help save our democracy.

Your vote for Governor is the ballot referendum on vouchers that @GregAbbott_TX refused to put before you.
It is his #1 policy.
@GinaHinojosaTX led Democrats & Republicans to oppose it.
Tell him tomorrow what you think about your taxes subsidizing affluent private schools.

Unnamed House Republican, quoted by Politico.
“There was a point earlier this year where we really felt like we could defy history. And then Trump bombed Iran. And it was just one thing after another.”
Politico: Republicans are already privately blaming President Donald Trump as they brace for losses on Tuesday.
Even as they race to distance themselves from his actions on tariffs, the unpopular Iran war and his mass deportation agenda, few have been willing to criticize him publicly — a clear sign of just how powerful Trump’s grip remains on the GOP.
But interviews with roughly a dozen candidates, campaign officials and lawmakers reveal they’re acutely aware of who, exactly, put them on the back foot this entire cycle.

Trump said that Hegseth was “the first one to speak up” in favor of attacking Iran, yet the U.S. military was not prepared for Iranian drone and missile strikes on its bases or Iranian attempts to shut the Strait of Hormuz. Now the U.S. military has run critically short of munitions. That’s on Hegseth. wapo.st/4kuSpt7

I was astonished to learn that a couple of my friends who think Ds are all but evil (one lives in Midland) told me that while they won't vote for Talarico that they won't vote for Paxton either.
Yes, only anecdotal but it tells you how disgusting Paxton is to a lot of Rs.

Texas GOP voter: The Republican Party has been hijacked. They're not the Republican Party that I was a member of for all of my life.
Reporter: Is this a vote for Talarico or against Ken Paxton?
Texas GOP voter: It's a vote for Talarico in this case. He presents himself in a very positive manner. He is clearly a legitimate Christian. He doesn't just talk the talk, he walks the walk, and you can tell the difference from a mile away.

You have to appreciate the irony of Paxton campaigning, on the premise that he’s going to defend Texas, then surrendering before even getting to the Alamo.
Ken Paxton appears to cancel final rally of his “Come and Take It” tour at the Alamo. bit.ly/4ijOCh2

It will be a cold day in hell before I ever forgive any American still supporting Donald Trump after he funded the killing of our fellow brothers and sisters who fought for this country. Fuck him. Fuck his supporters. Your day is coming. May you rot in hell. #USArmy #USNavy #USMilitary #USMarines #USAF #russia #putin

Good wisdom for this Sabbath before Election Day.
Sounds almost quaint in our divided times, doesn’t it?

The fastest way to show you're not ready for more responsibility is to act like you're above the responsibility you already have.
Everybody wants the big moment.
Not everybody wants the work, sacrifice, and discipline that come before it.
You don't earn bigger opportunities by overlooking smaller responsibilities.
