“What's to-day?" cried Scrooge, calling out to Claude, who was his imaginary friend. “It’s BILLIONAIRES ARE GREAT DAY!” “It’s billionaires are great day!” said Scrooge to himself. “I haven’t missed it. The LLMs can do anything they like. If Cratchett doesn’t send a card he’s fired!” #EatTheRich

From Lula’s victory speech. Hard to argue. 🇧🇷 “We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. We cannot have monstrously large corporations earning millions and billions, paying no taxes to this country and trying to steer our election results.”

Texans' ire over data centers has given Gina Hinojosa's campaign a boost, but there's another outrage: public schools. District takeovers and $$ poured into vouchers. If elected, she promises, “I’m going to fire Mike Morath on day one and hire an educator.” www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...

Talarico: You want to know why they are spending $200 million against me? Because I don’t take their corporate PAC money and I never will. I don’t work for them. I work for you. When we flip this seat in Texas, I’m going to vote to ban corporate PACs so billionaires can’t buy our elections.

Talarico: They may have the money, but we have the majority. They’re trying to make this election about anything other than their corruption. You should believe our movement can beat their money because they sure do.

Wow, it is amazing how screwed up traffic in Austin is right now because of the dumb race. Do not go east of 35/south of 969 unless it’s an emergency period. It hasn’t even started yet and I had to come to a full stop on 71 E.

All politics aside, that guy Talarico must have a wagon to carry all his phones. I block and report spam at least once a day but he just keep texting me from new numbers.

“Can we absolve ourselves of responsibility for our jobs yet?” is a hell of a public policy. #RepublicansHate good governance. They hate poor people. They hate everything except money. #TexasDeservesBetter #ProtectTexasKids

Any competent agency could rein this in, but cops like QI and power so they tolerate “a few bad apples.” #acab #WholeBarrellSpoiled

NEW AD: “Ken Paxton says I don't have his experience — and he's right. I’ve never been indicted for fraud. I’ve never been reported to the FBI for bribery. I’ve never been impeached by my own party. And I’ve never given a sweetheart deal to a pedophile.”

I will never respect another republican as long as their main goal is to terrorize children in case one of them might be gay. #TexasDeservesBetter #RepublicansHate

James Talarico: The most corrupt politician in Texas, Ken Paxton, is everything that's wrong with this broken, corrupt system. He doesn't serve us. He serves himself. Since taking office, Ken Paxton has increased his net worth by $27 million. Ken Paxton now owns 15 homes.

@teamtalaricohq.bsky.social in TX Govt class I learned funding is a 3-legged stool of property tax, income tax, and sales tax, but TX has to balance on 2. Now you say cut property tax, so that leaves sales. Why do you want the most regressive system? Why should poor bear the brunt of the burden?

every democratic member of congress should be giving meta hell right now, and every democratic state government needs to be announcing investigations for election interference — these were early voting events

I flipped a Republican seat in 2018, and I’m ready to do it again. Texans are ready for change, and I’m ready to work for the people.

Patrick killed legal hemp products. Patrick banned books. Patrick wants to see children’s genitalia. Patrick defunded public schools to defray the cost of rich kids’ private education. Patrick put Ten Commandments posters in our shared public schools. Patrick has to go.

Ken Paxton has accepted over $350,000 from the beer and alcohol industry, while blocking attempts to legalize marijuana in Texas.

Time to call up the Blonde Pool at fauxnews and ask for a new press secretary, it seems.

Records show Texas Attorney General Paxton has taken 82 more out-of-state trips with a taxpayer-funded security detail than Gov. Greg Abbott — and nearly as many as the governor and lieutenant governor combined. with @texastribune.org

Like, any other good thing you want to do is getting blocked unless you reconstitute the Court immediately neutralize these lawless fuckers, and court expansion is the lawful way to do that

I wanna quibble a bit with the premise of question 4: 'why court expansion over alternatives' suggests an either/or, but I want a whole suite of reforms But also, court expansion is the most urgent and necessary reform bc it's the clearcut constitutional way to immediately stop the bleeding

Texans, this is the race that matters! As much as I hope Abbott loses, he’s a figurehead. Lt. Gov. sets the legislative agenda. Let’s stop wasting time on Patrick’s pet peeves. Vote Goodwin!

strategic political capture of the court has, for 40 years, been a one-way ratchet. among other things, this has inculcated a sense among conservatives that they can act with virtual impunity. showing them that their opponents will play hardball is a necessary first step toward a better status quo.

In any event, I actually answer your four questions similar to how you do yourself. I just think that the *aggreed upon downsides* are not really downsides, when understood properly. It's not a "so what" answer. It's a "no, actually this might be better" answer.

So we can get an oven that can convince us to stick our head in it? #EatTheRich

Look at this mfer mocking me when I’m about to undergo very unpleasant dental procedures

Texas GOP voter: The Republican Party has been hijacked. They're not the Republican Party that I was a member of for all of my life. Reporter: Is this a vote for Talarico or against Ken Paxton? Texas GOP voter: It's a vote for Talarico. He doesn't just talk the talk, he walks the walk.

On October 13, students at Jefferson Middle School in Oceanside, California, walked out of class in protest against ICE. These students are brave and are showing that standing up for their community has no age limit.
