Your vote for Governor is the ballot referendum on vouchers that @GregAbbott_TX refused to put before you.
It is his #1 policy.
@GinaHinojosaTX led Democrats & Republicans to oppose it.
Tell him tomorrow what you think about your taxes subsidizing affluent private schools.

Unnamed House Republican, quoted by Politico.
“There was a point earlier this year where we really felt like we could defy history. And then Trump bombed Iran. And it was just one thing after another.”
Politico: Republicans are already privately blaming President Donald Trump as they brace for losses on Tuesday.
Even as they race to distance themselves from his actions on tariffs, the unpopular Iran war and his mass deportation agenda, few have been willing to criticize him publicly — a clear sign of just how powerful Trump’s grip remains on the GOP.
But interviews with roughly a dozen candidates, campaign officials and lawmakers reveal they’re acutely aware of who, exactly, put them on the back foot this entire cycle.

Trump said that Hegseth was “the first one to speak up” in favor of attacking Iran, yet the U.S. military was not prepared for Iranian drone and missile strikes on its bases or Iranian attempts to shut the Strait of Hormuz. Now the U.S. military has run critically short of munitions. That’s on Hegseth. wapo.st/4kuSpt7

I was astonished to learn that a couple of my friends who think Ds are all but evil (one lives in Midland) told me that while they won't vote for Talarico that they won't vote for Paxton either.
Yes, only anecdotal but it tells you how disgusting Paxton is to a lot of Rs.

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 in this case. He presents himself in a very positive manner. He is clearly a legitimate Christian. He doesn't just talk the talk, he walks the walk, and you can tell the difference from a mile away.

You have to appreciate the irony of Paxton campaigning, on the premise that he’s going to defend Texas, then surrendering before even getting to the Alamo.
Ken Paxton appears to cancel final rally of his “Come and Take It” tour at the Alamo. bit.ly/4ijOCh2

It will be a cold day in hell before I ever forgive any American still supporting Donald Trump after he funded the killing of our fellow brothers and sisters who fought for this country. Fuck him. Fuck his supporters. Your day is coming. May you rot in hell. #USArmy #USNavy #USMilitary #USMarines #USAF #russia #putin

Good wisdom for this Sabbath before Election Day.
Sounds almost quaint in our divided times, doesn’t it?

The fastest way to show you're not ready for more responsibility is to act like you're above the responsibility you already have.
Everybody wants the big moment.
Not everybody wants the work, sacrifice, and discipline that come before it.
You don't earn bigger opportunities by overlooking smaller responsibilities.

The Trump Admin is one of the most corrupt in American history. So saying that that his Admin is “guided by an unwavering faith in Jesus Christ” is a classic case of taking the Lord’s name in vain.

I couldn’t have asked for a better partner on this journey than our next governor, @GinaHinojosaTX

Hate to disabuse the ever misinformed @BrandonHallTX of his neatly packaged control of the Almighty, but God isn’t Republican.
Or Democrat.
Just God.
Almighty God.
Opening @kenpaxtontx rally at Cullen Yards in Fort Worth, state ed board member @BrandonHallTX prays for “God’s intervention” in the election and says R’s need “God’s miracle.” #txsen

Gina Hinojosa: "The reason Greg Abbott lies about me is because he can't run on his own record…It is why he is trying to hide from the voters of Texas by not debating me. If Greg Abbott's not man enough to debate me, then he doesn't deserve to be the governor of Texas."

BREAKING: Texas Republican endorses @JamesTalarico:
“Voting for a Democrat does not come easy to me, but in this particular case it’s a very easy choice.
Ken Paxton does not work for the citizens of Texas. He works for himself and he works for a small cadre of people in Washington DC doing their bidding…
As a Texas Republican, I demand integrity and character. James Talarico has these qualities. Ken Paxton does not.”
Phillip Sanders retweeted
This is a lie that multiple news outlets declined to publish because it’s provably false:
- The account was created by a bot
- It was only active for 54 seconds
- The profile birthdate is not Talarico’s
- The profile zip code is based in LA
- The account is part of the same bot operation that made millions of other accounts with stolen data
The most powerful people in the world know they can’t beat James Talarico with the truth, so they’re slandering him with AI deepfakes, foreign bots, and conspiracy theories to protect their broken, corrupt political system.
