Been holding onto this one for 3 years and it feels SO good to finally let it out into the world. 'On My Mind' is officially out NOW on all platforms! This song means more to me than I can put into words, and I'm beyond excited to share it with you all.

Convincing yourself that America is being taken over by communists and jihadists instead of confronting the fact that people in red states are tired of having their legal weed taken from them and giving data centers tax breaks and free electricity is the copeist of copes

If you are a Texan, you need to listen to this exchange. I’m just going to say this right now… IF @GinaHinojosaTX is even remotely sincere about what she just said in this clip, and I pray she is, then Texas didn’t just elect another loony progressive, woke radical Democrat as Governor… Texas elected an intelligent, self-declared “economic populist” who values economic growth, recognizes the fundamental difference between culture war and class war, REJECTS woke, is ANTI big tech oligarchy, ANTI data center, and ANTI surveillance state. If I’m being brutally honest, she sounds far more sane and reasonable than ANYONE I have heard on the GOP side. Listening to this, it’s not hard to imagine why Greg Abbott as badly as he did. I’m not saying we will agree on everything, or even that she is legit, but IF she is this could possibly be an overall net positive for Texas.
This contentious interchange between the NY Times and @GinaHinojosaTX was truly amazing. Hinojosa offered one of the best explanations of populism I've ever seen. Her comments were a total rejection of Corporate Dems' neoliberal formula. Her Texas victory is a game changer.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Several figures here aren’t federal results or NY-specific. The $472B combines US wide pledges: Micron's $250B is nationwide (NY site $100B) Anthropic's $50B covers TX and NY. The 48% murder drop is from NY's state run GIVE program (28 departments, Jan – May 2026). arkolith.com/news/news-micr… therepublic.com/?p=843020 governor.ny.gov/news/safer-str…

"Without action, Governor Hinojosa will inherit the powers of a DICTATOR." So y'all are just admitting that Abbott has been a dictator while he was in office? "We still have total power in Texas, and we must act like it by using the remaining ten weeks to restore separation of powers" And admitting that you need to "restore" separation of powers, as in you destroyed them earlier and want them back? Shameless traitors to liberal democracy.

Texas voucher program, Year 1: 💰 $1 billion in taxpayer money 🎒 ~102,000 kids got accounts, about 1.8% of Texas students 🏫 57% of them were already in private school or homeschool That's not school choice for Texas families. It's a $1B subsidy for families already going.
If Hinojosa wins, she is going to fight tooth and nail to take away the vouchers which allow my kids to attend a good school where they will actually learn. Public school has failed us. The voucher program is the escape hatch for kids trapped in terrible districts.

Texas just elected this man to the Senate
James Talarico has won the U.S. Senate election in Texas, defeating Republican Ken Paxton. (via NBC) He becomes the first Democrat elected to the U.S. Senate from Texas since 1988.

One of the more exciting parts of this election - among many - is the return of a religious left.

We took the THC ban, rejected it, and turned it into a historic Blue wave. Don’t mess with Texas.
