I bet they shared some fun moments together …

After Rep. Swalwell’s resignations, Rep. Gonzalez is resigning too. He had already withdrawn from his primary runoff.

Not all heroes wear capes! Running as a democrat in Texas HD 68 requires courage! I had the pleasure of meeting Jasmine Henderson at an event on Gainesville and I am excited to see her featured here.

We had more than a thousand people showing up in Flower Mind, Texas for the #nokings protest. No issues at all. A lot of honking and support from the cars driving by. Many great signs but also people with no signs showing up in support!

Heading to the Denton County Democratic Party convention! Special guests: Rep. Jon Rosenthal, nominee for railroad commissioner, and Sen. Eckhardt, nominee for comptroller. All the local candidates! Where: Horizon Unitarian Church, Carrollton. with @dentondems.bsky.social

Today is Election Day in Texas! If you have not voted yet this is your last opportunity!

Today early voting ended in Denton County with more than 25,000 voters casting their ballots almost equally split between democrats and republicans. Early voting final numbers: Democrats, 55,941 votes Republicans, 59,365 votes. This turn out for a primary is unprecedented.

This is what voting looks like in Texas. This is my polling location. I am precinct chair. When I block walk these are the people who may open their doors. But Texas Democrats are tough and we will not be intimidated.

Texans can be so hateful. This sign is not far from my house and I see it every day. It refers to a proposition on the republican primary ballot against sharia law. The usual islamophobic nonsense.

Good news: TexasVAN is now showing who voted in the current primaries, not those who voted last November. After block walking in my precinct I adopted a second one and I am almost done. I poll greeted on Saturday and voted on Sunday. Plus Democrats have outvoted republicans for two days in a row!

Please keep giving Talarico free advertising time! @jamestalarico.bsky.social

Great interview! Keep working hard and let’s flip Texas together!

Some photos I took today at the memorial for the killing of the art exhibit Ni de aquí ne de allá by artist Victor Marka27 Quiñones. The event was organized by the art students in front of the CVAD where the exhibit was supposed to run until May. Read my other posts for the story behind this.

If you live in Denton plan to attend this memorial tomorrow morning in the CVAD courtyard on the University of North Texas campus.

More on the closing of Victor Quiñonez’s exhibit at the University of north Texas.

Censorship arrives at the University of North Texas! UNT has closed and canceled a solo exhibit of artist Victor Quinonez without any explanation. Among the pieces an illuminated paleta cart and melting paleta sculptures from the artist’s I.C.E. Scream series, glasstire.com/2026/02/12/u...

Look at that! And the first Italian gold medal was won by Francesca Lollobrigida who was born in my hometown, Frascati! Bravi, azzurri! Continuate a vincere!

Trump: "If we stopped testing right now, we'd have very few cases, if any." Also Trump: "'If we stopped measuring presidential approval right now, we'd have very few unhappy citizens, if any." His approval rates must be abysmal!

Important report by Congresswoman Escobar on the inhumane conditions in Camp East Montana, an immigration detention facility near El Paso.

Bog crowd for @jamestalarico.bsky.social event at the University of North Texas! A long line of students and general public started to form before the doors opened. There was no enough room for everyone and at least a couple hundred people could not enter.

Say it louder: precinct chairs are the backbone of the party and knocked on the doors of our neighbors election after election is what will Turn Texas blue. I have 258 doors in my precinct. I am at 25% and plan to finish before early voting starts. Only 20% of Democrats in my precinct vote in the

Bridge protest in solidarity with Minnesota on I-35, N. Garden Ridge Blvd, Highland Village/Lewisville, Denton County, Texas.

Cornyn thinks that people would not agree with this: "James Talarico says many non-Christians are more “Christlike” than the Christians he serves with in the Texas Legislature." Remember, Cornyn is running against Ken Paxton!

Wambsganss conceded. But no worries, god is by her side! Bless her tiny pedophile supporting heart! Congratulations Senator Rehmet! #SD9 #tarrantcounty

Election day votes are coming in. Rehmet is still leading with 7/129 reporting. This is a +17 Trump district and the democratic candidate is overperforming in this runoff election for TX SD9. If this holds it would be a 30% shift in favor of the democrats. Are we going to turn Texas blue in 2026!

Democratic candidate Taylor Rehmet is leading the runoff election for TX SD9 in Tarrant with 56% of the votes. Early voting only. This is a +17 Trump district. Amazing result so far! Can we all keep our fingers crossed?

I know it sounds crazy but I already miss the snow! It only lasted six days, it’s almost completely gone now. And who knows when we will have another snow day here in North Texas!

Thank you!

A winter storm is on its way to Texas. Many are still traumatized by the events of 2021, so we’re hoping for the best! What’s good is that tomorrow afternoon @jamestalarico.bsky.social and @crockett.house.gov will debate each other and I am looking forward it. www.kxan.com/news/texas-p...

Important reporting here. Let’s all learn how to resist!

The Denton County commissioners voted unanimously to expand a controversial agreement with ICE that allows selected Denton County Sheriff's deputies to interrogate people they believe are in the country illegally. This is happening in a county with many immigrants www.wfaa.com/article/news...

The Texas Secretary of State admitted today that there will be a delay in the mailing of the voter registration cards. I know that Denton County will mail the cards in February with voters receiving them AFTER the deadline to register to vote. The SoS rushed to share the TX voting roll with the DOJ,

Today I learned that the denton county elections department will mail the new voter registration certificates not earlier than February, most likely after the deadline to register to vote for the March primaries. Although you do not need the certificate to vote the certificate does contain

Today I attended a townhall with @jamestalarico.bsky.social in Plano, North Texas. It was packed with hundreds standing! Talarico is a talented young man who is dedicated to his mission of improving people’s lives with policies that help everyone. His experience in the Texas house fighting against

Last year, Trump promised American oil executives “a great deal” if they donated $1 billion to his campaign. Today, he gave them Venezuela — home to the largest oil reserves in the world. This new war is not only illegal and reckless; it is deeply corrupt.

This is insane! I live in Denton county and we do not have voting centers on election day. Hundreds of voters show up at the wrong polling location and we have to direct them to the right one. Dallas County has voting centers on ED but now the GOP wants to change that plus manually count ballots!

An excellent collection of what you need to know about Rep. Brandon Gill of House District 26. His democratic opponent is @ernestforcongress.bsky.social a veteran and a great person. We deserve better than Gill: support Lineberger for US Congress!

Unacceptable! This will kill people mostly children and the immunocompromised!

Good news for Texas. With filing starting soon I doubt there will be time for an appeal. Our state is heavily gerrymandered anyway but this redistricting was too much!

All Democratic candidates for President in 2028 should promise to tear down this horror when they win and restore sanity and respect at the White House.

Thank you @ernestforcongress.bsky.social for attending the No Kings protest in Flower Mound! If you live in US congressional district 26 and your current representative is Brandon Gill, you need to support Ernest!

This is what democracy looks like! Flower Mound, Texas! #nokings

With this announcement we have a potential strong duo at the top of the ballot: Hinojosa and Talarico. Texas let’s do it!

Hey, that’s my representative in house district 26! Fortunately we have a better choice. Support @ernestforcongress.bsky.social , the Democratic candidate who is working very hard to flip this seat! We are also having a No Kings protest in Flower Mound near Gill’s office.

The @flowermoundareademocrats.org had a booth at the First Flower Mound Fall Festival. They talked with people and shared information regarding the upcoming elections. Several candidates were there including @ernestforcongress.bsky.social . When we show up we win!

A full house today for @ernestforcongress.bsky.social campaign launch in Lewisville. Ernest is running to unseat US representative Brandon Gill. Enough is enough: we need a representative who is willing to work for his constituents. Support Ernest for CD26.

Do you live in CD26 and your current representative in Congress is brandon Gill? Then you need to attend this event, meet and support Ernest Lineberger for US Congress!

The video of Tonya Chadwell aka the Karen of Flower Mound harassing a DoorDash driver because of her accent is going viral. I want to remind everyone that Flower Mound has a democratic mayor and a very active democratic club, @flowermoundareademocrats.org ! Join us.

Last week, 2 representatives from Equality Texas talked at our monthly meeting with the @flowermoundareademocrats.org . One of them a transgender man who is a school teacher will be forced to resign from his job. This law will affect thousands of Texans, from students to employees. What a sad day …

Today Gov. Abbott signed SB 8 into law. This would restrict which restrooms transgender people can use in government buildings and schools and fines institutions up to $125,000 for violations affecting not only students but also employee. The law will go into effect on December 4th. Hate won.
