Does #voting matter?

You tell me:

" #Talarico leads both #Cornyn, #Paxton in new poll of #Texas’ #US #Senate race

#Democrat state Rep. James Talarico is leading both of his prospective #Republican opponents in a new poll of Texas’ U.S. Senate race — though the result is within the margin of error in either scenario, suggesting a close contest in November"

"but i want perfect"

"both sides the same"

"the vote is hacked"

"waah waah"

shut the fuck up

So let’s talk about #Texas, and #primaries and interference. I’ll admit that maybe it’s sour grapes, as I love Jasmine, and I feel she was done dirty by Colbert first, and the TX #GOP Supreme Court, who absolutely interfered with the vote in her home county second. That said, I will support #Talarico as the candidate, but I do it with the full recognition of the racism at play.

Some other interesting news, Sen #Cornyn will have to face a runoff with Ken #Paxton. Both of them are horrible humans, but I hope Paxton wins because he’ll be easier to beat in the general. Cornyn is a powerhouse with a lot of industry support, because he’s never met a lobbyist he wouldn’t suck off.

Al Green is in danger of losing his seat, it’s gone to a runoff. His opponent is a pretty awesome young dude, and #Green is 80, so... young electorate could go either way.

Dan #Crenshaw lost his seat. This pleases me. #Dems did pretty well, all #gerrymandering considered.

MAGA loves a villain

Ken #Paxton’s scandals helped him undermine John #Cornyn as the Texas GOP Senate primary goes to a runoff

@TechBean I wish I knew. OTOH, two good things:

1. Paxton and Cornyn will light so much money on fire between now and the runoff, it will be epic to watch

2. If Paxton wins, there's a very good chance Talarico can smoke him in the general election, and Jasmine Crockett (if she comes from behind and wins against Talarico) has a decent chance against Paxton too.

Heads up:

With certainty over the coming months you will hear from "leftist" accounts

With all the easy signifiers, flags and symbols

About some vile betrayal the winner, #Talarico or #Crockett, made against the left

#Cornyn #Paxton

In today's Texas Senate primary election, Republicans are measuring the potency of Trump’s Make America Great Again movement against old-guard conservatism. Democrats, meanwhile, face a choice between two progressive “powerhouses” with different theories of how to fight – and how to win – in the Trump era.

The fiercely competitive races have left Democrats unusually hopeful about their chances in a state that hasn’t elected a Democrat statewide since 1994, while Republicans fret they could lose a seat once viewed as safely red.
Early voting has soared, particularly on the Democratic side, while political ad spending has surpassed $122m, according to data from AdImpact, making it the most expensive Senate primary on record.
The vast majority of the money is being spent to help four-term incumbent John #Cornyn fend off a challenge from Ken #Paxton, the state’s scandal-plagued attorney general and a conservative culture warrior.
Cornyn, 74, has emphasized his seniority and record, which he has defended as closely aligned with the president. By contrast, Paxton, 64, has presented himself as Maga’s vanguard in Texas, willing to battle both Democrats and Republicans.
On the Democratic side, state representative James #Talarico has crisscrossed the deep-red counties that voted for Trump, preaching a “politics of love” that roots progressive policy in the teachings of his Christian faith. The 36-year-old former middle school teacher and current seminary student argues that the central divide in American politics is “not left v right” but “top v bottom” and says Democrats can rebuild trust in rural and suburban communities without abandoning their core values.
He faces Congresswoman Jasmine #Crockett, a firebrand progressive whose unsparing attacks on Trump and Republicans have earned her a starring role in the resistance movement to his second term. Crockett, 44, entered the race in December, just before the filing deadline, embracing a different political playbook. Casting herself as a “proven fighter” who “drives the president crazy”, Crockett contends that high turnout among young voters and voters of color – not ideological moderation – is the key to winning statewide.

The Democratic contest underlines a central debate that has animated the party since Trump’ s 2016 victory: whether they win by “doubling down” on their base and its fury with Trump’s presidency, or by courting independents and swing voters disenchanted with partisanship and the political status quo.
Tuesday’s election will hardly be the final word, but as polls open in the nation’s second-largest state, Democrats will be monitoring the political currents closely, as they target Republican-held seats in other states, from Alaska to Maine.

Paxton is also one of the Republicans running for US Senate in Texas this year, which highlights the importance of winning the race, especially if Paxton becomes the Republican nominee.

Prop U is the GOP's sneaky way of tightening city budgets so that we're having to close library branches and other basic services.

Texas AG Ken Paxton sues city of Dallas over 'insufficient' police funding

Proposition U, passed by Dallas voters in November 2024, requires the city to spend no less than 50% of new, annual revenue to fund the police and fire pension.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is running in the Republican primary in the Texas Senate Race.

Paxton and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott classified gender-affirming medical care for trans youth as child abuse, an evil policy that terrorized transgender children and their families.

The week started on a high note for Texas Democrats.

#Taylor #Rehmet’s state Senate win over Republican Leigh Wambsganss with some 57 percent of the vote resonated from Fort Worth to Washington.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-South Dakota) said Tuesday that the election showed Republicans
“need to up our game.”

In Texas, Democrats took it as an especially encouraging harbinger for their U.S. Senate race,
which could factor into the party’s long-shot push to win back the upper chamber of Congress this fall.

They already saw an opening because the GOP incumbent, Sen. #John #Cornyn,
has struggled in his primary contest against a scandal-plagued challenger, state Attorney General #Ken #Paxton, who could make the November election more competitive should he be the nominee.

"Paxton has become comically thirsty for Trump’s endorsement, signaling there’s no limit to how low he will debase himself to get that tiny thumbs up."

After years of saying he didn't need to make full disclosure of his real estate holdings, it turns out that prominent Republican Ken #Paxton (#Texas) owns eight properties in four states...but here's what may be the most interesting bit:

The #GOP couple is claiming all eight properties are "home addresses."

Someone should be asking how they handled state/local taxes for those properties, eh?

Ken Paxton thinks your business is his business

Look at Texas, where state Attorney General #Ken #Paxton just sued the Biden administration
💥to block a new rule that protects the medical records of people who cross state lines to obtain abortions.

As Health and Human Services Secretary #Xavier #Becerra explained when announcing the rule,
“Many Americans are scared their private medical information will be shared, misused, and disclosed without permission ... ✅ the Biden-Harris Administration is providing stronger protections to people seeking lawful reproductive health care regardless of whether the care is in their home state or if they must cross state lines to get it.”

Texas’s lawsuit alleges that the rule interferes with its ability to enforce its own laws on reproductive health.

Of course, the rule does no such thing. -- Texas remains fully able to enforce its extreme abortion ban within its borders.

❇️ All the rule does is 👍prevent Texas from reaching into other states to demand patient records when people obtain reproductive health care that is legal in that state.

⚠️Texas Republicans are also mad that the rule requires reproductive health care to be “interpreted broadly and inclusive of all types of health care related to an individual’s reproductive system”
— which means 👍it could also protect the records of people seeking gender-affirming care outside the state.
