The question of "who's the fucking superpower here" is probably going to be pretty fucking salient in 2026 and 2028 for better and for worse

without factoring in a potential endorsement, Ken Paxton is the odds-on favorite to win the runoff, as he'll probably hoover up most of Hunt's anti-Cornyn vote .... and i don't imagine this situation improves at all if Trump endorses Cornyn, making it rather obvious who the lackey is here

there is absolutely zero guarantee Trump's endorsement is a net positive here. he is underwater in Texas

Today, the Senate had an opportunity to take a stand against this war — and almost every Senate Republican voted against it. They let us down because they care more about doing Trump's bidding than the interests of the American people.

Trump is dragging us into another forever war that the American people didn't ask for. Six American service members have been killed, thousands more have been put at risk, and countless civilians are now caught in the crossfire.

in his fucking dress uniform too

what the fuck? resign you stupid asshole

alarmingly high yet also, grading on the "generational orientalism and islamophobia" curve, impressively low

something I would like to see polling on is "how many people do you think live in Iran"

transphobia is comorbid with being a fucking cunt in every other aspect of your life

firing shots across the bow with what? a fart gun?

rats fleeing the sinking ship

Texas Latinos turned out in massive numbers for Democrats

anti-trans Dems ate shit last night

yeah they're going to get absolutely swamped here in the fall. GOP gerrymander might break really hard

Colorado can't afford six more years of caution and concession. This poll says voters agree. Chip in to fuel what comes next → Julie4.us/s/donate

Voters sent a message last night: Dems are ready to win. -2.4M Texans cast ballots in the Democratic primary, the most since 2008. -In NC, Democratic turnout was nearly 50% higher than Republican turnout. -Democrats have now flipped 27 state legislative seats since Trump retook office.

One of my favorite parts of last night’s election results. The only Democratic talking point should be: we don’t abandon anyone.

Talarico can beat Cornyn

is isaac chotiner just the only american journalist left who asks follow up questions when he hears someone say something insane and evil?

This is a very bizarre post, are you even a Texan?

lol he refused to call their actions in the gaza strip a genocide during his cushy sitdown podcast interview of ben shapiro. so which is it

comparing Talarico to Abbott and Trump was pretty much the low point though

i remember telling my classmates who could vote in 2016 to “vote for hillary because trump will just start wars because he feels like it or thinks it would be funny” and the conservative ones said “no actually hillary’s more likely to do that because of her period”

U.S. Senate in Texas: Leans Republican >>> TOSSUP

Every single aspect of this Iran war is the stupidest fucking thing ever, and completely on brand for Trump. This is the sort of thing many people have been worried he was going to do ever since he got elected the first time. The guardrails held him back then but they're gone now.

okay, now that it's official: eat shit jasmine crockett, your campaign and your online supporters lost you a race you probably could have won on name recognition

go fuck yourself ass bastard

now everyone is saying this. i was saying this 6 months ago. we are not the same

YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS

GOP probably would get better mileage spending to defeat Talarico in the general than they do spending millions of dollars to oppose Paxton in the runoff

I'm a palestinian with the right to a homeland & self determination not because my ancestors crawled out of the sea in ancient times onto the beach in yaffa as fully formed Palestinians. I have a right to a homeland and self determination because i'm a human being.

*tucking my plushies into bed w me to keep them (me) safe*

didn't know Buttigieg had shooters on this website

ugh. a thousand civilian deaths. what the FUCK ARE WE DOING

just would like to note the insanely low discrepancy between total # of democratic votes in TX-Sen (left) vs. TX-Gov (right), one of which got insanely nationalized and the other which is basically an afterthought to the pundit class

lol Schiff not even waiting for an official call, that's fucking hilarious

This is ludicrous. The charge may be the same, but the facts are utterly different. This is the sort of thing you say when you’re looking for an excuse to capitulate without it seeming like capitulation. Nobody familiar with both cases could seriously claim they’re remotely analogous.

i've been telling people this for months. Something is happening in Texas. I don't know *what* yet, but it's something!

pretty much impossible for Crockett to net 110k votes from the outstanding ballots. James Talarico has won.

Even more so given they haven't installed the laser cannon on it yet

unironically, this might be the singular worst republican primary ever sex scandal incumbent where the mistress killed themselves vs. nazi white nationalist gun nut youtuber

theological liberalism/conservatism does not map cleanly to political liberalism/conservatism

wait what happened to Williamson County

crazy that Paxton is ~1.7% off of taking the lead from Cornyn

Talarico = Fetterman???? what???? are you fucking out of your mind? at least this BEGINS to make sense with Platner. it makes absolutely no fucking sense with Talarico, who is much closer to Pete Buttigieg than John Fetterman (who .... did not campaign on his own faith????)

the moral of the story tonight that you can't jump into a race 3 months before Election Day and hope to win it. Allam should've entered against Foushee much sooner and spent more time raising money and making the case. same with Crockett.

Thank you, Texas! I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for Governor of our beautiful state. Together, we’re going to take on corruption and it’s going to be a new day in TX. You have put your faith in me, and I promise to put my all into fighting for you and your families. On to November!
