Elon Musk reportedly spent $40M on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful. Here’s how
we would’ve spent that $$:

One of the more interesting, overlooked stories of the election
Congrats to @Sarah4Texas Stogner on her huge win against an incumbent Democrat District Attorney in Reeves, Ward, and Loving counties!

The BIG winner of our presidential election is Vladimir Putin. The BIG losers are Europe and NATO.

Small comfort now, but vouchers went 0-3 on state ballots.
100’s of thousands of Trump voters voted against school vouchers.
In KY, Trump won 65-35 but vouchers *lost* by the same margin—losing all 120 counties.
In the reddest wave in decades, voters still rejected vouchers.

Four Republicans prevailed in five contested Texas State Board of Education races Tuesday night, solidifying a GOP majority on the board responsible for determining what the state’s 5.5 million public school children learn in the classroom. bit.ly/4f656oN
We are lost.

This election isn't just about Trump, it's about stopping the radical rich from pushing the worst education policy money can buy in TX. Vouchers are a costly, ideological-driven scam w/ a tainted past persistently failing to improve student achievement. Use your vote against any voucher-supporting candidate.

People only say “don’t come in” when there is absolutely something you need to see inside.
Governor @GregAbbott_TX is now saying when Texas is counting the ballots, he doesn’t want anyone watching.
Something is wrong here.

Wait... @PeteButtigieg debated 25 undecided Michigan voters?!
WHAT
Is there anything he won't do? this man is fearless

If Texas officials wanted to stop the arrival of undocumented immigrants, they could try to make it impossible for them to work here. But that would devastate the state’s economy.
So instead politicians engage in border theater. texasmonthly.com/news-politi…

#KeepTexasRed is taking on a whole new meaning as women are dying at the hands of Texas legislators and @GovAbbott. This is shameful and preventable. I’ve had enough— how ‘bout you? #txlege #Texas #VoteBlue2024ProtectWomensRights propublica.org/article/josse…
It was a CONSCIOUS CAMPAIGN DECISION to give the podium to a speaker who compares Latinos to semen and garbage— and he got an entire arena to laugh about it. THIS is what normalizing
hate speech looks like, but wrapped in red, white and blue. 😢
