First-time voters say theyâre voting for James Talarico: âThe fact that Talarico doesn't plan on taking any PAC money⊠He's free to actually be a servant of the people rather than the billionaire.â âHe's not about like the big corporations, and he really cares about people.â

James Talarico: Dan Patrick has spent decades selling out the sick and the poor and the vulnerable, all to enrich his donors, and now he's accusing me of blasphemy. Love sometimes feels blasphemous when you worship power.

James Talarico: Dan Patrick and Ken Paxton are worried that we're about to take back Texas. So they're going to throw everything they have at us. I think Texans are hungry for leaders who are going to actually solve problems instead of throwing cheap nicknames at each other.

James Talarico: Ken Paxton let a pedophile back onto our streets. Adam Hoffman, an admitted child molester, should have served 25 years to life in prison, but instead he served less than 29 days, and that's because Ken Paxton gave him an Epstein-style sweetheart deal.

James Talarico: This election shouldn't be about the Democratic or the Republican Party. It should be about a vision of what our state can be: Texas schools that are the envy of the nation, a Texas economy that is second to none. It won't happen overnight. But a giant state deserves giant dreams.

Talarico: One night, my birth father became abusive again. But that night, my mom declared her own independence. She packed all our stuff into her little Ford Escort. That's what it means to be a Texan. It's in our blood. Texans don't like tyrants, and we don't surrender easily.

Talarico: Ken Paxton was born in North Dakota, raised in California, and has a place in Hawaii. What makes a Texan is not in the boots or in the truck, it's deep in the heart. These billionaires and their puppets have the wrong state of mind. Their hearts and their dreams are just not big enough.

I've come around to deciding that it's actually good that they keep asking Zohran this question because it clarifies to the listener that a Jewish state and a state of all its citizens are not compatible and the people asking the question are implicitly acknowledging that they know that.

Quite apart from Phillips' analysis being total horseshit, I really hate broadcast news/current affairs presenters sitting there brazenly editorialising with an American style "monologue". Unless it's a point of actual national consensus (terrorism, mass murder etc), leave that to the press.

The ECB has once again raised interest rates amid an oil-price-driven inflation shock. That's consistent with a long-standing pattern: every ECB tightening cycle has coincided with energy prices (orange line) increasing substantially faster than the overall consumer price index.
