oh my godddd these people

This new kind of politics is being born right here in Texas.

I am tired of being pitted against my neighbor. I am tired of being told to hate my neighbor.

My faith teaches me to love my neighbor as myself. Not just my neighbor who looks like me. Not just my neighbor who prays like me. Not just my neighbor who votes like me. I am called to love all of my neighbors the way I love myself.

One thing is clear: we’re about to take back Texas. To the billionaires who have taken over our state and our country: your unchecked power is coming to an end.  To the people of Texas: this election is our chance to take power back for ourselves and our communities.

.@JamesTalarico: One thing is clear today — we’re about to take back Texas. We’re done being divided. We’re done being played. We’re done being pitted against each other. That old politics is dying, and a new politics is being born — through all of us.

.@JamesTalarico: To the Congresswoman Crockett’s supporters — I know I wasn’t your first choice, but I hope to earn your trust and your support. As your Democratic nominee, it’s on me to ensure you feel welcomed in, represented by, and proud of this campaign.

.@JamesTalarico: This is a people-powered movement to take on this broken, corrupt political system. This is truly a campaign of, by, and for the people. We’re not just trying to win an election. We’re trying to fundamentally change our politics.

.@JamesTalarico: My grandad was a Baptist preacher who told me at an early age that we follow a barefoot rabbi who gave us two commandments: love God and love neighbor. I’m trying to love my neighbor through public policy, I’m trying to make my neighbor’s life a little easier and a little better.

Talarico: This new kind of politics is being born right here in the Lone Star State. The number of Texans who have never voted before but showed up in this election is unprecedented. The people of Texas just gave this country a little bit of hope. And a little bit of hope is a dangerous thing.

I find the 'how many weeks will the war go?' questions odd. The war is going to continue until Iran no longer has the capacity to block shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz or chooses to stop doing so. Given the economic impact of strait closure, it really cannot end before that.

David Attenborough wouldn't have filmed dogs harassing wildlife. Just saying.

YESSSSS HE GOT AWAY EAT SHIT DOGS

another point on the board for "website slowly dying"

Seriously, landlords are business owners. No one guarantees to other business owners that they will never, ever have a bad month or two.

Jasmine Crockett concedes to James Talarico this morning: “With the primary behind us, Democrats must rally around our nominee. I'm committed to doing my part and will continue working to elect Democrats up and down the ballot." #TxSen

Gov candidate (and former logger and Maine Senate President) Troy Jackson backs Graham Platner in the Senate race. Seems like this might be more about the gov race than ME-SEN -- Jackson looking for a way to cut through the noise, perhaps? Still a notable endorsement. #MEpolitics

James Talarico is FactPost official

at this point I'd be unsurprised if Dan Sullivan bails out too existing retirements + Sullivan + Cornyn probably losing = nearly a fifth of their incumbents gone

you somehow picked the 2 things which have fanbases of like 40% women and queer people and 60% chuds so politely, Come And Take It

The GOP is literally preemptively surrendering the midterms to avoid further embarrassment. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Airstrikes targeting Shia militia leaders south of Baghdad?

🚨🚨🚨 STEVE DAINES WITHDRAWS FROM MONTANA SENATE

who could have guessed that?

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”
