Small-dollar donations to Republican candidates are just apocalyptic. Selected examples here. Our forecasting research found in-state individual contributions are a strong predictor of results. Way stronger than PAC spending! votehub.com/2026/10/24/2...

"The past two years are all the proof you need that sitting out an election because the better candidate happens to not be perfectly to your liking is completely stupid and self-destructive."

We don’t know if the early vote will be predictive because all Republicans could just be waiting to vote until Election Day. But what this means in practice is that to win, Trump/GOP will have to have the most successful EDay mobilization operation in modern history— and that it’s completely stealth

It’s a good day to be a Longhorn 🤘

Under Greg Abbott’s leadership, more than 170 Texas public schools have closed in the last three years alone. For the sake of our children, Greg Abbott needs to go.

Ughh I spoke too soon. I've gotten a few political texts since I said I didn't get them. 🫣

If your state has early voting, go vote! I did 😺🗳 If you don't have it, make a plan to vote on Election Day!

The amount of bloviating about how it was so clear that he was plagiarizing to the point of killing this man just to find absolutely nothing...again.

I just listened to Talarico on the Daily from yesterday and he's so fucking solid. 👏

"Democratic success in Texas in this year’s election would be a psychic blow to the culture war-obsessed American right, making them think they’re losing the country." Strong endorse. Let's not forget that South Texas's 2024 swing to Trump was widely seen as the locus point of a major realignment:

This is why I'm always mad. Unjustifiable. Indefensible. Outrageous. Unacceptable. Unforgivable.

The 56-year-old Mexican man who died Saturday while in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody was a lawful permanent resident in the country, the agency said in a statement. ICE added he was detained because officers believed he obtained his legal status in the U.S. fraudulently.

I don't care if it produced an endless supply of hot delicious churros straight out of the glovebox, I will never buy a fucking Tesla

Tomorrow we are going to vote, with some friends from our community, and then all having lunch after. Consider doing the same, fellow Texans. Celebrate doing your civic duty.

they ran an attack ad during this Texans game where the scary voiceover said "James Talarico says he'll DEFEND transgender Texans" and it's like, oh cool, nice, thanks for letting me know that

Today is No Kings Day! I rallied with Montrose patriots to stand for our government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

I'm surprised El Paso county (CO) has a Dem nominee for County Clerk and Reporter with minimal information online about the candidate.

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

@ginafortexas.bsky.social came to debate Greg Abbott on his home turf, and he was still too scared to show up and answer for his disastrous record. If he’s not man enough to debate, he doesn’t deserve to be Governor of Texas.

Does arresting the wife of an enlisted man and mother of four US citizen children, a person who’s been here since she was 6 years old, make our country great again?

still can't believe paxton was on video stealing that pen lol

5,145 mail ballots counted in Travis County. This is now a R+5 shift with the versus the mail '24. Not a great signal for a blue wave.

This news is both beautiful and brutal.

Every child deserves to be and feel safe in the classroom. No parent should have to send their child to school worried if they'll return home. This senseless gun violence has taken far too many lives in our country and it’s time for real reform that will save lives.

The news coming out of Oregon tonight is horrifying, and Lori and I are praying for the families and offering strength to the parents who will now have to bury a child.

Great countries would do something.

3) this is yet another instance of Vance treating a native-born but nonwhite American as if they are foreign born. 4) it is vance who should be greatful that anyone ever bothered to treat him like he might do some good in the world (they were wrong of course)

Can we sit with how outrageous and antidemocratic this is? It's historic levels of racism but corruption too.

Abdul is such a badass. really impressive
