Folks, I’m a lifelong Texan and super-volunteer. I’ve worked over 100 rallies and traveled with campaigns, and I have eyes. So let me be clear… I have never seen anything like the energy we have on the ground right now. It’s everywhere… it’s all at once. 8 DAYS. Summon your reserves. PUSH. #Vote

Been watching this turn by Fuentes… his logic and motivation is quite simple. He believes the Republican Party will have no chance at the presidency in 2028 unless they throw the entire trump admin under the bus and rebrand… from “the party of corruption” to “the party of pure white supremacy”.

Listen, when I said the tent was big enough for all of us, this is not what the fuck I meant. Thanks for the publicity or whatever, but Neo-nazis need not apply.

“I destroyed the company’s credibility for you, my beloved employees.”

Audi CEO Gernot Döllner said he acted in the interest of the carmaker when he took part in US President Donald Trump’s campaign rally that announced the company would build a $4 billion plant in the country.

If you’re not up with this story… Abbott had those files redacted when Hinolosa’s campaign requested them the first time. The reason they gave the judge for the redactions? “Those emails were of an intimate and embarrassing nature”

For what it’s worth, he’s in Michigan. Michigan has the largest Arab American population of any state. They make up over 2% of the population. He just motivated about 200,000 people to go vote. Thx asshole. Keep it up.

RFK in Michigan: "Mike Rogers was talking about the Muslim Brotherhood. That's something I can talk about…Islamism, which is the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood, took over…That's why you don't see any Muslims, any Arab Muslims winning the Nobel."

Trump always has his finger on the pulse of the people

I’m telling y’all. We got BIG ENERGY here in Texas. #Vote

Andrea Devon@andreadevon.sheshed.rocks

YES! 🙌🏽 Texans are pulling up to the polls! Fort Worth’s NAACP brought the energy with a voting caravan! Let’s go, TEXAS! 🔥 #VivaHer #VoteBlue

This is the best thing I’ve seen in a long while. I relate. So much.

This is what will happen to every single lawsuit they bring around this election. Just like in 2020. They have no standing to challenge any result or any state’s election processes.

The Contrarian@contrariannews.org

BREAKING NEWS: The 9th circuit has ruled to DISMISS the DOJ’s effort to remove 20,000 ballots from California’s voter rolls. The decision was 2-1. This win sends a message to the DOJ: In America, leaders don’t get to pick their voters. Voters pick our leaders.

I agree 100% with this take. Been saying he won’t go down without a fight. But he’s right, we have to be aware of the plan, and the most powerful tool we have right now is to mock him… break down his confidence… make him feel small… because in reality he IS a small man, and we are large.

El-Sayed on Trump's cognitive tests: "I went to medical school...In my neurology unit, I would have to give that MoCA exam...The only people that you give a MoCA test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you're taking one of those tests, something's wrong."

Only 8 more days until Election Day, Texas! Early voting ends THIS FRIDAY, October 30th, and Election Day is Tuesday, November 3rd. Make sure you've got a plan to cast your ballot before time runs out!

James Talarico: The problem with Ken Paxton is not that he didn't grow up in Texas. It's that he doesn't understand Texas. I believe anyone can be a Texan. It doesn't matter if you're an 8th generation Texan like me, or if you just got here. What makes a Texan is deep in the heart.

I’ve been super impressed with Adam Hamilton. He’s a gifted communicator. He never falls for the gotcha questions. He makes complicated issues understandable… and I think he’s going to flip Kansas.

63,000 Kansans lost their healthcare coverage because of Roger Marshall's votes.

It’s starting to look like my D+14 projection was too conservative.

This is what putting South Carolina first looks like. I’m honored to have the support of two former governors — Republican David Beasley and Democrat Jim Hodges. We may not agree on everything, but we share a belief that matters most: S.C. deserves leaders who will always put its people first.

I’m on #TeamNevada

I spoke to the mom of the 3-year-old soccer star who was left "thinking he did something wrong" after a league official called police "due to a disturbance between parents" The youth sports league said they launched a review and reached out to the family

Trump has a rally tonight in Mississippi, in case you're wondering how things are shaping up for Republicans

i’m gonna say this quietly, so as not to wake the demons… but by my calculations, texas early voting is currently about 23% above 2022 levels… and democrats have a minimum +10 advantage sshhhhhhhh

and to be perfectly clear… that accusation will not fly with Hispanic voters in Texas. from a campaign standpoint, it reads as absolute desperation to rally the dwindling base… but turnout in rural counties is currently dismal… running 10-20 points below traditional blue counties.

it’s a five alarm fire for the Texas GOP… and I’m not being the least bit hyperbolic. it would literally take a miracle for them to recover in the next 8 days. end.

and to be clear… I’m being very very cautious here, i’m undercounting indys, i’m not even considering republican crossovers… it could be as much as +20… but… republicans in texas tend to come out on Eday, so they will no doubt eat into the lead. 👉 but they have a massive deficit to overcome. 👈

I know republicans are aware of the dire situation… because yesterday, Greg Abbott, who has never had to seriously worry about his reelection, and has a firm rule of keeping very quiet during early voting, accused Gina Hinojosa, a devout catholic, of endorsing sharia law. he’s throwing hail marys.
