Happy New Year’s Eve!! 🎉
2025 was a drab year for the music industry. Thankfully, the likes of @ladygaga, @ddlovato, @MarinaDiamandis & @HilaryDuff saved the days! ❤️

“Come on up to Alaska with your data centers. We got gas, we got land, we got water, we got it all. Come on up.” – Dan Sullivan
That’s our gas, our land, and our water he’s offering up. And when data centers drive up energy prices, Alaskans will be the ones footing the bill.

There is something deeply wrong with a political system that allows one trillionaire to buy his own personal U.S. Senator.

Leaked audio: Mike Rogers blocked the unredacted Epstein files to "protect" Epstein's friends
"You have to protect somebody who got on an airplane and rode with him... The court of public opinion would ruin their life for no reason... You don't want to hurt that person's career or reputation"

New Talarico ad running statewide:
"Ken Paxton says, I don't have his experience, and he's right.
"I've never been indicted for fraud. I've never been reported to the FBI for bribery. I've never been impeached by my own party, and I've never given a sweetheart deal to a pedophile.
"I have a different kind of experience. I've worked with both parties to cap the cost of insulin and pass the largest property tax cut in Texas history. I'm James Tallarico and I approve this message because we need a different kind of experience in Washington."

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.
Back home from a quick trip to Comfort, Kerrville & Fredericksburg, TX… proudly sporting my “Talafreako” shirt… and received so many compliments from the locals. The energy around the state really does feel different this time!! @jamestalarico 💙

Instead of debating Gina Hinojosa, Greg Abbott parked a truck outside her event to run negative campaign ads.
What a pussy 😭😭

MIC DROP MOMENT in the Michigan Senate debate!
Mike Rogers: “He says his home is Egypt.”
Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: “My home is Michigan. YOU live in Florida.”

Leaked audio of Ken Paxton revealing he wants to cut programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid:
“Making some reasonable cuts to mandatory spending… Suck it up.”
Paxton is dangerous for Texas… he always has been… and he doesn’t deserve to be anywhere near the U.S. Senate.
Vote @jamestalarico in November! 💙
NEW @TexasTribune: Ken Paxton privately suggested he'd support cutting federal benefit programs, per new leaked audio.
Asked about reducing the deficit, he said: “Making some reasonable cuts to mandatory spending - you're gonna have to do it."
"We have to suck it up."
Politician work for us, the voters… not the other way. When will we come together to understand something so simple and true?

My goodness, Martha McCallum had her ass handed to her in a way I've never seen before.
She likes to bully her guests, and move them away from topics that she can't defend.
Abdul El-Sayed wasn't having any of it. Dude is SPECIAL. Smart AF.

Reporter: Trump's One Big Beautiful bill is going to put a lot of hospitals in jeopardy of closing because of cuts. How worried are you about that?
North Carolina GOP candidate Jennifer Balkcom: I'd have to understand it before I could actually make full comment on it. I'd probably have to see that analysis
Reporter: Sure, the latest analysis puts over 400 hospitals at risk of closures because of the law's Medicaid cuts.
Balkcom: I would just have to- I'm not... I'm not sure about that one
