The political irony in Texas is WILD. In 2017, Republicans eliminated straight-ticket voting. Greg Abbott can no longer drag Ken Paxton across the finish line with one push of a button. Republicans can vote for Abbott and skip Paxton entirely. And with Democrats chasing their first Texas Senate victory since 1988, those split-ticket voters could matter. Republicans eliminated the Republican button. Now Paxton has to earn their own votes (and that’s looking increasingly more difficult).
It would be so sad if Ken Paxton wins just because Greg Abbott overperforms. Ken Paxton is the least deserving candidate ever to get this senator job. Vote. This is a very close election. And anything could tilt it. Vote vote vote.🌊

Football is cruel. Football is beautiful. And just like that, this is GMAC’s team now. 🍊 He started the season as QB2 with Faizon Brandon being named the starter. No pouting. No drama. No negativity. Just kept his head up, supported his teammate and stayed ready. Then football did what football does. Today his number was called. And GMAC didn’t just answer. He took THE damn job. You never know when your moment is coming. You just better be ready when it does. QB2 ➡️ QB1. This is your team now, kid. Go make Tennessee remember your name. 🍊🏈 Vols

Texas Republicans spent $150 MILLION over the last 17 days trying to make Texans fear James Talarico. It didn’t work. After a month of trans attack ads and culture-war distractions, Talarico is MORE popular than ever. Why? Because fear doesn’t pay the bills. Property taxes. Insurance. Groceries. Electricity. Housing. Everything costs more, and as Texans many of us are struggling to stay afloat. You can’t scare people into forgetting they can’t afford their lives.
