These right wing assholes spent YEARS trying to make me quit. They doxxed my family, made deepfakes of me, body shamed me, spread lies about me, and relentlessly ridiculed me. I was literally seventeen years old getting death threats from thousands of strangers because I dared to be a liberal teenager in Texas. They did everything they could to make me stop.
Well tough shit!
I was a nineteen-year-old community college student in Texas who raised $2 million for abortion funds when our state was threatening to put doctors in prison for life. Iโve raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for candidates, helped build the first statewide creator program in Texas history, and spent countless hours knocking doors, making calls, and organizing across this state. From Waco, to San Antonio, El Paso, Houston, Dallas, Fort Bend, and everything in between. Often times on my own dime or without pay because all I cared about was winning.
Iโve spent six years doing this. The candidates, elected officials, precinct chairs, and community leaders Iโve worked with havenโt just gotten to know me. Theyโve literally watched me grow up. Iโm so emotional because Iโm realizing that I spent my early adulthood fighting for a Texas I wasnโt sure Iโd ever get to see. I was fighting for the state while growing up and changing myself too. AND CHANGE HAS COME! I moved across the state this year to our beautiful capital and now I intend to be there to help Democrats spread the message to the public about the good things theyโre about to do.
Thatโs all that matters. Doing good for the people of Texas.
So to all those fuckers who tried to make me feel like I didnโt belong or that it wasnโt worth it- get bent. Enjoy your cheaper healthcare and better schools - I worked for you to have them even though you worked against me.

I hate to say it, but America is over. The communists and jihadists are going to open our borders and replace our votes with votes from illegals aliens. We now have reps who openly speak about their hatred of America, their love of communism and their support for sharia law.
We wonโt be able to undo the damage they cause on our country come 2028.
America 250 was a funeral.
The American Dream is dead.
One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"โwhether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up.
So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? "No," he told me. "We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us."
Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026.
There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasnโt sharp enough down the stretch. Iโm sure thatโs true.
But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone.
Another pollsterโone of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday weโd lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were:
1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel
Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. While many spent Monday attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it turns out her political advice was sound. (Sheโs also a great person.)
In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcementโby focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance. But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you.
The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.
If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest.
But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.
I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, โI told you soโ: youโre right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Letโs take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.

Give Millennials the ball.
Weโre pushing 40 and still being told to wait our turn by people who need help opening a PDF.
Move. Weโve got shit to fix.

For the first time in US history, a gay man, a Black woman, a Muslim, Native American woman, Palestinian, and Latina have won their respective midterm elections.
Not surprised about my state dropping the ball, but I am happy to see more blue across the country ๐๐๐ โ at Groveland, FL
This. ๐ฏ
The government is going to get their money regardless. It's just now going to come out of public safety, libraries, sales tax....
But sure, I'm crazy cuz I know how to read between the fucking lines and I care about people other than myself ๐ โ at Groveland, FL
Yes, because the rest of y'all's 111 year old meemaws and peepaws move down here from the north and vote accordingly ๐
I don't care. I'm not throwing that 1.5% under the bus just because others may be using it as "birth control". โ at Groveland, FL
Doing something to my body is ok if I say it's ok, just like if I say no, I mean no. The part where men ignore the "no" is the problem, not certain women enjoying kinks like choking.
Just because you don't like something doesn't make it wrong for everybody else. โ at Groveland, FL
It's almost laughable. Almost.

I have a shirt like this, and it has nothing to do with Charlie Kirk. It's a horror/Halloween shirt.
