After a meaningful and substantial conversation with Dean Thompson and her team, I have full confidence that the needs of our rural and border communities will be met under her speakership.
Texans delivered a mandate for change and the Texas House Democratic Caucus is united heading into the 90th Legislative Session. Let’s get to work and hit the ground running! #txlege

Holds the phones.
Texas Republicans may win a statewide race yet.
On the Court of Criminal Appeals, John Messinger (R) leads Holly Taylor (D) by about 47,000 votes, per Secretary of State.
Republicans still searching for a win in a statewide race.

.@NathanForTexas victory speech:
"campaigns can be dehumanizing, and single party rule, and overconfidence, and arrogance can be dehumanizing and lead you to be disconnected from the people. And when you're disconnected from the people, you're disconnected from the job you're supposed to do."

The voters have spoken, and I want to extend my congratulations to James Talarico on his election to the U.S. Senate. I look forward to meeting him and offering my assistance with his transition as he prepares to serve Texans in the U.S. Senate.

It’s early, but @NathanForTexas called a Blexas wave back in June
He’s now the odds on favorite to be the next Attorney General
In my year-plus covering the 2026 Texas elections, I’ve constantly started questions to Democrats with “you know it’s an uphill battle…”
@NathanForTexas is the first one to push back.

In: @longhornderek 10-day Texas Early Vote analysis (does not include yesterday, but Ryan takes time to verify the data).
"Based on these estimates, that would put a final early vote tally of 7.85 million votes cast. That would come close to matching the total seen in 2022...not the early voting total...the final total (including Election Day votes)."

“If you are in this country illegally, it is virtually impossible for you to live in this country and not commit additional legal violations—working without authorization, identity theft. There’s a lot of illegality that goes on when you are breaking the law.” @DHSGenCounsel
