  1. Corrupt Republican Ken Paxton will run against Democrat James Talarico for the Senate.

    As soon as Paxton won, Talarico got $3 million in fundraising. cnn.com/2026/05/28/politics/ja

    The GOP is in a panic over what they'll have to spend to get the corrupt Paxton elected. politico.com/news/2026/05/28/r

  2. Tuesday: John Cornyn lost Texas by 64 to 36 — to a man his own party impeached. The lesson every Republican heard? Kneel, or be next. The revenge tour has a sequel, and the casting's underway.

  3. @actblueorg.bsky.social is suing #Paxton in federal court. He opened an investigation into the platform the day after the #Talarico fundraising surge made headlines. He has never investigated #WinRed, the #Republican equivalent. #Paxton #Talarico #txsen www.texastribune.org/2026/04/20/k...

    Ken Paxton sued by Democratic ...

  4. 400,000 #Republican voters stayed home in the runoff. What do they do in #November? 0% cross over: Paxton +315K (~3.3 pts) 15% cross over: Paxton +254K (~2.7 pts) 30% cross over: Paxton +193K (~2.0 pts) #txsen #Paxton #Texas2026 npr.org/2026/05/27/nx-s1-5835292/texas-senate-runoff-takeaways

    Texas general election matchup...

  5. "Then again, Paxton, as mentioned, is a complete freak. He’s so corrupt that Texas Republicans impeached him in 2023, and eight of his own aides reported him to the FBI in 2020, accusing him of bribery and abuse of office. In 2015, Paxton was indicted on securities fraud. When it comes to “family values,” Paxton follows in the footsteps of his Daddy Donald Trump and engaged in many alleged extra-marital affairs, because of course."

  10. I like James #Talarico and I’m glad that he’s sounding the alarm about #Paxton. That said, I can support him and still lament that he is the one in the position to be sounding alarms right now and not Jasmine #Crockett.

    The #DemocraticParty has a sexism and racism problem that it’s done nothing to address. Talarico is fine, just not when compared to Crockett who has more experience, more concrete ideas, better education, is better spoken, is a better debater, the list goes on.

    He won back in March because he was seen as “more electable” than Crockett. Which part exactly? I mean let’s not beat around the bush here, say it out loud. People knew that the party was so sexist and racist that it let a fascism fanboy win the presidency instead of electing a Brown Woman. So instead of admitting the existence of those biases and working to address them, the only takeaway seems to have been “Don’t risk it, put the white guy at the head of the table.”

    I’m so frustrated. We might win #Texas and that’s important but so is us fixing our own issues and right now we’re still ignoring them.

  15. Paxton lies (surprise!), sez Talarico's a vegan.
    Talarico goes on Meidas Touch, says
    "I’m an eighth-generation Texan. I’ve been eating barbecue since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment. If all they have on me is lying about me being a vegan, I feel pretty good about our chances this November."
    Great quote, good to go on offense here.
    (This will be a very expensive race...)

    This group of Jilted Revanchists that Trump primaried are going to chat, plot, and monkey wrench away. If Paxton ends up in the Senate, Cornyns a loser. If Talarico wins, Cornyn's vindicated. And vindication's big with these fellas.

  25. Texas’s Senate Race Will Be a Referendum On #Healthcare

    So Texas Republicans have, by a huge margin, rejected Sen. John #Cornyn, a hardline conservative whose great failing, from Donald #Trump’s point of view, was that he occasionally took stands on principle. To replace him they chose the scandal-ridden, deeply corrupt Texas attorney general #KenPaxton, who received Trump’s endorsement precisely because of his vices. #Paxton’s rottenness makes him a Trump kindred spirit and also guarantees that he will be dependent on Trump’s goodwill and hence slavishly loyal.

  30. Oh. My. Bob. Y’all, serial adulterer and low rent fraudster Ken #Paxton, endorsed by #Trump, just won the #Texas #GOP runoff. This means it’ll be good Christian boy #Talarico vs Ken #Paxton, a man reviled by most moral humans. In the Bible Belt. Get your popcorn.

    Now, why this matters outside Texas? Cornyn raised more than half a billion dollars for the party and other candidates. He was one of the gops top fundraisers. Trump kneecapped them. Hahahahahah.

    Also, Cornyn, while never seeing an oil executive he wouldn’t give a happy ending, has been in politics longer than I’ve been a voter, and that’s a long ass time. Losing him is a huge strategic loss to the party, and it couldn’t happen to an oilier guy, so.. (still, do wish it was Cruz and his badly fitted human suit).

    Still, hahahahahahahahah oh my goodness. Bless his heart.
