Q: Are you the one who’s going to turn Texas blue?
@JamesTalarico: I’m not interested in turning Texas blue. I wanna win this seat so that I can fight for all 31 million Texans — whether they’re Democrats, independents, or Republicans.
My party talks about turning Texas blue a lot. Republicans talk about keeping Texas red. I think the best color for Texas is purple.
When you have a purple state and competitive elections, it forces every politician in both parties to stay on their toes. My hope in this race is that we can end 30 years of one-party rule and get competitive elections back in Texas so politicians are actually solving problems.

I now have two sources close to Susie Wiles who claim that Trump is preparing a vast misinformation campaign for November 4th, built around conspiracy theories alleging widespread election fraud.
The plan? Declare victory regardless of the results, accuse Democratic officials of manufacturing ballots overnight, claim voting machines were secretly manipulated, and demand that Republican candidates refuse to concede.
In this scenario, the goal isn’t to prove fraud. It’s to convince millions of Americans that any election Republicans lose must have been stolen.
This is pretty awesome.

And yes, I'm one of those climate scientist "fat cats" they refer to 😂

Look, the simple truth is that on November 3rd, the Republican Party needs to be punished. The Republican Party needs to be punished BIG TIME for continuing to embrace a sociopathic madman who is a traitor to, and an enemy of, America.
VOTE.

This is Republican Pig Mike Rogers staring at Nicki Minaj's butt after Trump sexually harassed her.
Make sure Michigan voters see this.

Seems to be a reoccurring theme who MAGA don’t find to be a creep. It says a lot about you.

If Musk crippled Starlink/Starshield leading to dead Ukrainians, then that is justification for a federal takeover. No matter his fabulous wealth, Musk cannot have veto power over life or death.

Talarico: Paxton has increased his net worth by $27 million. He now owns 15 homes while most Texans are struggling to afford one, it's hard to get 15 homes in a game of Monopoly. I don't know how he got 15 homes
This election is about whether you want a senator who puts money in your pocket, or who puts money in their own.

"I want to be a senator for every Texan who can't afford one."
Hell of a line from @jamestalarico in the rally clip below, commenting on the mind-blowing sum of special interest money being spent on behalf of Ken Paxton, led Elon's more than $150 million.
Talarico: This election is a battle between the powers that be and the powers that ought to be. The powers that be have chosen their candidate. They have bought and paid for Ken Paxton.
But we are standing with the powers that ought to be the teachers and the nurses, the farmers and the ranchers. The grandmother who is facing eviction, the little boy who's waking up in the middle of the night from the lights of the data center, the small business owner, who is struggling to keep his family restaurant open. Those Texans are my team.
They are why I'm in this race. I want to be a senator for every Texan who can't afford one. You want to know why they are spending $200 million against me? Because I don't take their money, and I never will. I don't work for them. I work for you

BREAKING: Trump’s Justice Department is getting EXPOSED, and what election officials in California are revealing is absolutely outrageous.
The DOJ is demanding that counties identify and potentially set aside ballots from supposed noncitizen voters.
There’s just one HUGE problem: Their own lists are falling apart under scrutiny.
In Inyo County, BOTH people flagged had never voted in California or even been issued ballots.
In Mendocino County, officials say the DOJ sent them a list of voters FROM AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT COUNTY.
And in Los Angeles County, a preliminary review found that many flagged individuals were born in the United States, weren’t active voters, or had never voted.
Yet Trump’s DOJ is threatening election officials and giving counties just 48 HOURS to comply, DAYS before the midterms.
The federal government is using demonstrably unreliable data to pressure local officials into setting aside Americans’ ballots.
This isn’t how you protect election integrity. It’s how you put legitimate votes at risk.
Every American, Republican or Democrat, should be outraged by this.

Musk seems to go out of his way to invite a showdown with Gov’t. He has acquired so much power and influence, it’s inevitable there will be a growing majority of Americans who believe his influence should be curtailed. I think his outsized role this cycle is a net negative for the GOP fwiw. We used to have ownership rules regarding media consolidation; perhaps our laws need updating, but it’s clear Gov’t needs to clip his wings; it’s unhealthy that only one party views this as an issue at the moment. hollywoodreporter.com/busine…

So your answer is to make it easier for Putin to kill Ukrainians?
Christopher Taylor retweeted
Ukraine losing access to Starshield raises serious concerns for our national security—like who controls critical capabilities the U.S. government has spent billions to procure & how decisions to restrict them are made. I'm demanding answers from the Department of Defense & SpaceX

Funny how your class analysis stops exactly at the Russian border.
In Russia, billionaire wealth has just hit a record $696.5 billion. Meanwhile, two-thirds of the confirmed Russian war dead come from towns with fewer than 100,000 people, and the poorest regions suffer the highest losses.
There is one other small difference.
Ukrainians are in trenches because their country was invaded.
Russians are in trenches because Putin sent them across the border to invade somebody else’s.
If you really want to talk about elites getting richer while ordinary people die, Moscow would be a remarkable place to start.
But somehow you never do.
Christopher Taylor retweeted
This irony in this post.... we have the most corrupt administration in US history, your trying to buy and election, and you have the audacity to say Ukraine is a problem?
This is why we should tax the rich. Elon and the rest od the MAGA wealthy are incredibly out of touch and this just shows it.
You should apologize for slowing down Starshield, causing the deaths of innocent men, women, and children.
