State Senator Paul Bettencourt just told his caucus at the Texas GOP Convention: “This is the worst polling environment I've seen in 30 years.”
The Texas GOP has had complete control of our state for the past 30 years, and voters are ready for change.
Trump and MAGA don't have a monopoly on American pride. Let's #TakeBackTheFlag this weekend.
Show us how you're taking back your patriotism this Flag Day.
Governor Abbott closed out his speech at the Texas GOP convention with a live elephant. It then peed on the floor as it left the room.
The perfect metaphor for the Texas Republican Party.
Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.
If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.
The right invests in media. Progressives should, too. For 16 years, we’ve been amplifying progressive voices and holding those in power accountable. Help us keep it going by supporting our biggest fundraiser of the year. @Burge4Congress

Politico: Federal judge blocks Texas AG Ken Paxton’s suit accusing ActBlue, the Democratic fundraising platform, of violating Texas’ Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
Judge says Paxton acted in retaliation for (and in an attempt to suppress) ActBlue funding for James Talarico’s Senate campaign.

“Adam Hoffman—an admitted child molester—is a registered sex offender in Nebraska but doesn’t have to register in Texas because Ken Paxton gave him an Epstein-style sweetheart deal. He put the well-being of pedophiles over the safety of Texas children." 😡 chron.com/politics/article/a…
Good morning and Happy Wednesday to everyone who agrees that the audio of Speaker Johnson ADMITTING that he's planning on cutting Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security SHOULD BE A HUGE STORY.
Don't let him slide on this.
Mike Johnson admitted today that Republicans are going to cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security next year.
The only way we stop this is by voting Dem on November 3.
VOTE!!!!
Fascism does not arrive saying “I am fascism.” It arrives saying “law and order,” “border security,” “anti-woke,” “election integrity,” and “national emergency.”
Still no special election timeline for TX-23, the vacant congressional district (Tony Gonzales) now home to three New World Screwworm cases and much of the quarantine zone
Candidates are doing what they can to relay ranchers' concerns in the meantime
