Attorney Thomas Henry donated more than half a million dollars to help Paxton in the primary earlier this year against Sen. John Cornyn, but he posted this video today announcing his jaw-dropping flip in support of Talarico.

Now do one calling him a fucking Nazi and CSAM distributor.

Team Talarico@teamtalaricohq.bsky.social

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

I think in reality what socialism actually means in the American context is that trillionaire Elon Musk got $38 billion from the U.S. government and you got rejected trying to buy a $1 soda on SNAP benefits.

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

Troy Jackson after Collins takes credit for rural healthcare cuts in big beautiful bill not being as bad as they could've been even though she voted to advance the bill: "Sen. Collins is like an arsonist who helped set the fire, and then she wants credit for bringing a cup of water to put it out"

Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

Rule number one in politics: don’t drop a kid on stage. Unfortunately for Vivek Ramaswamy, he missed rule number one. What a total blunder, let alone in front of a rally Trump attended whose attention you just know he was yearning for. A total embarrassment, yikes!!

The White House stole official government funds to create and televise a campaign advertisement, right before the midterm election. If Democrats take control of the House next year, the Appropriations Committee and I are ready to undo this waste, fraud, and abuse, and hold people accountable.

Trump’s tomato tariffs could be coming for your free chips and salsa. A 17% tariff on Mexican tomatoes has sent tomato prices soaring. Restaurants say the added costs are getting harder to absorb, and some are considering charging for salsa instead of putting it on the table for free.

His vocabulary is so limited it’s like reading a transcript of Koko, the gorilla who knew sign language, if Koko were a white nationalist

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

It now costs the truck drivers on average $1,200 to fill up a single tank because of the war in Iran. Mike Rogers said it's a win-win-win. Are you winning?

A friend of mine works in AI and thinks bad things are about to happen. He sold his home and moved his family out the country. He said that if you own a home in a walkable San Francisco neighborhood near a taqueria with good veggie options, you should sell your home for super cheap right now.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.

This framing, from one of the better-read political newsletters, reads like a parody of cronyism. But it isn’t.

Sorry I was absent from my job as the Baby Healthcare Slasher. I had depression for reasons that I’m sure are entirely unrelated to that. Anyways back to my job giving everyone infectious diseases and driving teenagers to suicide.

Those candidates are to my left on a number of issues. But if you conflate victories by a few lefty candidates with an entire party being taken over by people with open contempt for multiracial democracy and the rule of law, then you have entirely missed the boat.

We are witnessing MAGA equivalent of destruction of Democratic Party through election of progressive Socialists. If you think this ends well for country, I believe you're sadly mistaken. Extremism on one side simply fuels opposite growth on other side. We need moderates.
