🚨 BREAKING: Travis County judge granted Gina Hinojosa's request to inspect Greg Abbott's unredacted Musk emails. Judge Mauzy set Thursday 10 AM as the DEADLINE for Abbott to let her see them. Abbott tried to keep them hidden, calling them "intimate and embarrassing."

I have been praying for this kind of pushback from Democrats against Elon Musk for a long time now and I am thrilled that the Talarico camp is leaning into it. Light. Him. Up.

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.

I'm not sure if @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social have issued a statement on this yet, but they should publicly announce that if Russ Vought tries to fuck with the election in any way they will fire him out of a cannon when they take power.

Trump shouts out Russ Vought and then says, ominously, "we have some big surprises coming up in a few weeks, right Russ? He's gonna be one of the important people in the history of our country."

How do you defeat a president who’s trying to sabotage the midterms? 1. Use drop boxes. 2. Vote EARLY in person. 3. If mailing in your ballot, put it in the mail AT LEAST two weeks before Election Day. 4. Vote in person on Election Day. 5. Share these instructions with everyone you know.

There's a new wave of Democratic ads across the country that are somehow brutally partisan and incredibly effective and it's going to take some time for me to get used to this?

NEW AD: Are you a data center company looking to take over rural Texas? Are you a crime-loving millionaire looking to throw the FBI off your scent? Are you a child predator looking to get out of jail after just 1 day? Call 844-WHOS-KEN to hear what Ken Paxton can do for you!

JUST IN: A federal judge just forced Trump’s DOJ to fast-track records involving Trump and the Epstein files, citing “possible questions about the government’s integrity that affect public confidence.” The records being sought are significant.

I know we're all* numb to this by now, but it really needs to be said that any one of the batshit insane tyrant tweets from our special little boy would've led to swift efforts to remove any other previous president.

This is why Trump can’t stand Black women. They don’t take his shit. Let’s appreciate Rep. Joyce Beatty for being the fighter we need. Trump: “I think you’re incompetent.” Beatty: “I know you’re incompetent.” Then she reminded him: “You had more bankruptcies than anybody in the room.” 🔥

American singer and songwriter Woody Guthrie, who wrote “This Land is Your Land.” The words on his guitar are testament to why the Nazis stifled art—and why Donald Trump tries to silence comics. The arts are not just entertainment when they challenge those in power.

DHS posted a racist graphic attacking "Mr. Singh," a last name that many Sikh Michiganders carry proudly. It is unacceptable to demonize and profile entire communities. No Michigander should be targeted simply because of their name. Hate and bigotry will not stand.

Goes without saying but the president directing the fcc to “punish” nbc because a poll made him mad would have consumed basically any other White House in endless scandal

Farewell today to the high priestess of polka dots, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama (1929-2026). Her work was unforgettable and for her, a means to survival. It’s playful, psychedelic, compulsive, beautiful and slightly unsettling all at once. Into infinity and beyond Yayoi! 🔴🟡⚫️

One of the easiest ban calls in sports. Enes leaves no doubt he opposes and seeks to undermine the very idea of the WNBA. If just words, maybe ignore, but he came to an arena and harassed players. Should be league-wide. That’s on the commissioner. Don’t leave players and the Sky standing alone.

Being strafed right now by 2 F-16s...making the windows shake like an earthquake. Gives you a tiny idea of what it would be like to be on the wrong end of an F-16 attack. Sonic booms as well. 'Murica!
