So nothing happens to the Trump donor who got $15 million in tax dollars to wreck the reflecting pond, but if a taxpayer touches a piece of the floating debris from the disaster scene they get 10 years in prison. Trump’s dystopian America.

Talarico: Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves. So I welcome this debate. I don't think Paxton or Cruz are in a position to tell anyone what a real man is.

Data center backlash is a huge opening for @ginafortexas.bsky.social and other Dems #txlege

Texas Tribune@texastribune.org

Data center construction is unpopular among locals, and a majority of the facilities are being proposed in red, rural counties. That puts Texas Republicans in a tough spot, as the White House has encouraged states to let the centers flourish.

President Trump wants to build a wall through Big Bend National Park. One of the most sacred places in Texas. Texans have a message for him: Come and take it.

“Because there are already unmet needs, including the current 4.8-million-acre-foot shortage, data centers’ unknown unmet needs are poised to place unprecedented stress on local water supplies across the state.”

Hard to overstate how big a deal a Rehmet win would be. Tarrant County is the epicenter of Christian nationalism in Texas, an incubator for far-right policies, and nexus of billionaire Tim Dunn's network, which is riding hard for Wambsganss. Rehmet almost entirely funded by donations of $100 or less

Robert Downen@robertdownen.bsky.social

‼️‼️ Still a lot TBD, but Rehmet is leading early vote count by **13 POINTS** in a district that Trump won by 17 points. I'll be updating in this thread throughout the night.

Tarrant County is the largest red county in the nation. I cannot emphasize enough how big this is. Rehmet winning this race against Wambsganss would be an earthquake of Biblical proportions.

ICYMI: This Saturday, progressive Taylor Rehmet squares off against a billionaire-funded Christian nationalist for a +17 Trump state senate seat in Tarrant County, a hub of the far right. Rehmet already over-performed, and is confident he’s on the verge of a stunning upset in a bellwether county.

texasmonthly.comIn Tarrant County, a Hub for the Far Right, a Democrat Seeks a Major UpsetIn a runoff election for Texas Senate District 9, which has not elected a Democrat since 1991, Taylor Rehmet is betting his pro-labor message can flip disillusioned voters.

Data centers will be THE political issue in many key races around the country over the next several years & Dems need to get all over it because this is a grass roots issue that transcends party. Want to get back in the game in rural America? This is how. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
