MS NOW: "The Talarico campaign is filing a legal motion to unseal two depositions Ken Paxton gave in 2019 and 2022. A source tells MS NOW the Talarico campaign has reason to believe Paxton admitted to crimes in those depositions."

Is this a bad time to bring up that Biden de-facto pardoned all the Jan 6 ringleaders while all the enablers and apologists told us it was "just impossible" to get any of them held accountable in under four years time? bsky.app/profile/idio...

Reminder that a shitload of GOP Congresspeople were implicated as ringleaders in the GOP-driven Jan 6 coup attempt. Then Biden left Trump's GOP FBI director Wray in charge, installed GOP boy Garland as AG, and then those two cleared all the ringleaders with testimony of a far right radical nut job.

I LOVE how how Talarico and El-Sayed are actually running competitively and telling their constituents how they will govern. Especially compared to their respective opponents who are trying to use dog whistles and tropes to run their races. Time to circle the wagons and get behind them both!

Anything our Democrats can do to get an extra vote I'm for because if this administration stays in power much longer we're done. It will be a two class system the rich and the very poor. And let's be clear the ones in power are fascists including all the rich, don't be fooled stay vigilant!!

It honestly won’t matter if that criminal’s comments are unsealed and shared. The cult members of the current GOP will vote for the criminal Paxton regardless. That is their demographic for candidates at this point. Just look at the convict in the WH.

Let’s play devils advocate. If they are “sealed” how would Talarico have “reason” to believe anything unless fraud was involved in accessing information he had no right to? None of this matters until Talarico accepts that live BBQ debate with Paxton.

If TX gets this wrong, they'll sign their own death certificate. We're all watching TX. Hope TX can prove they still have that spirit of independence. That's been wavering the last few election cycles. Seriously, abbott ? Y'all can do yourself a solid! #VoteBlueToSaveDemocracy #Talarico

The "unsealing" of depositions is the political equivalent of a software update that finally reveals all the bugs the developer spent years trying to hide in the source code. Time for the patch notes.

And as the Republican sleazeball candidate, while his behavior and general nonsense should be disqualifiying... it's Texas. Talarico's doing a great job and is a great candidate... and I bet they'll never let him win unless the vote is a blowout landslide.

I’m sorry, I can’t watch him. I can’t hear a word he says. As a folically challenged 62 yo white man all I can hear is a voice screaming in my head “We need that hair!”.

I can’t believe there is any problem with choosing the right person Texas doesn’t need another republican the republicans now in Texas aren’t taking care of the people living in Texas

Sure. If they are still voting GOP. But if they have decided that the latest version of the GOP doesn’t represent them anymore and choose to vote differently, then, by definition, they are different.

The brilliance here is even if it's denied, it further puts the idea of Paxton being a criminal in people's minds. If the motion is denied, that's not a statement that he didn't admit to it. It still means maybe he did, maybe he didn't. We don't know.

Wow! I Would love hear more about this. Paxton is corrupt as Texas AG. He's unfit to be a senator. He will continue with is lawlessness knowing Trump will pardon him.

I read that Ken Paxton is suing ActBlue. That my friends is desperation! He must think that his cowardice will impress his few constituents who like what he is and stands for. He is scared about the poll numbers which have Talarico winning and every day the margin for Talarico winning getting larger

If you love tRump so much maybe you should just go to the X platform. That place is full of racists and nazi sympathetic magamorons. Since muskRAT bought it the former twitter site has degraded which should be a perfect place for you to vent hatred.

And the voters don’t seem to care! Scandals, indictments and near impeachment by his own party, yet he’s held the office since 2015! Never mind Ted Cruz, who left them to freeze during a power outage and spends more time doing his podcast than governing. Is there something in the water???

I have ordered a Not Ken Paxton's Pen pen. I'm awaiting information on it, but I'm sure that's just because it has become a very popular item and order fulfillment is not easy at that scale, plus I live several states away from Texas.

If you are running to join “the most exclusive club in the world”, voters have a RIGHT TO KNOW. #Paxton When they lie and cheat on their wife, they will lie and cheat you. Just like his dear leader. #TrumpEpsteinFiles Who’s the pedo.

About damn time Dem candidates are digging up shady & likely illegal activity on their Rapeublican opponents. To hell with decorum and fighting fair. This is a war for Democracy.

It is doubtful that if the depositions are revealed, it would sway any of his supporters. Remember that people voted for the despot, after 34 felony convictions. Tribal loyalty is a strong bond that can't be shaken. It's all about group think.

I am sure he’s a criminal. But we are living in upside world where this sort of thing just does not matter. Look who is in the White House. A man who admitted to sexual assault on tape before the first election and that didn’t seem to matter.

That’s actually a big part of the appeal, speaking as a moderate Texan voter. He speaks softly, says the right things, but carries a big stick. He’s the opposite of all hat and no cattle.

The man has been in the Texas State legislature for 8 years More importantly, he was [gulp] a middle school teacher Why is anyone surprised by him playing hardball?
