The danger of "sharia law" in the US is zero.
The danger of Christian nationalist zealots like Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton destroying the country the invented the separation of church and state so that they can impose their blinkered version of Christianity on us all is sky high.

We are in Hidalgo County, which historically is a blue county, but in 2024, President Donald Trump won this county.

I’m in Weslaco in the Rio Grande Valley right now for a get-out-the-vote rally with @jamestalarico @GinaHinojosaTX & @PulidoForTexas. Check out the crowd as they wait for them and @tigresdelnorte who will perform later.

What a brilliant victory in Brazil! So many congratulations owed to the Brazilian people, Lula, and his team by every progressive force in the world. A day to get out the champagne (or whatever they prefer to drink for victory in Brazil). The tide of reaction stopped in Latin America's largest country. A day when in the struggle we can have a real celebration globally. Everyone in every country fighting for progress is a bit stronger today.

Most Republicans don’t even know what Sharia Law is/but I suppose it’s pretty dang scary to some because “Sharia” sounds foreign.

So Trump’s closing argument is that high gas prices are good because his donors who run oil companies are making bank, Jon Husted has a nice ass but not quite as good as Nicki Minaj’s ass, after 7 months the Reflecting Pool is almost done, and we get a ballroom, arch and helipad.

Well, it would appear Trump doesn’t plan on needing @lisamurkowski’s vote for anything or anyone for the remainder of his term in office:

Very encouraging development on China-DPRK relations. How does the White House #Trump view this?👀
🇰🇵🇨🇳DPRK leader Kim Jong Un said his country is "inspired" by China's success during a visit to the Chinese border city of Dandong via a newly inaugurated New Yalu River Bridge.

BASH: What's the crime?
AG TODD BLANCHE: What's the crime? Well it depends. There *could* be a crime. But the real wrong here is that Alaskans are gonna be confused.
BASH: The Alaskan Supreme Court ruled 4 months ago on this matter

I can’t believe Abdul El-Sayed would accept a $400 million jet from the largest financial backer of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Oh, wait. That was Donald Trump.

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning.
BLANCHE: That's not what it says
BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal government have telling a state not to certify?

Here is a small sampling of the most overt racism from Bo French, who was just hosted by Lakepointe Church. Related: Supporting racism is among the things that can get churches booted from the Southern Baptist Convention, of which Lakepointe is a member.

These sacks of neocon shit are lecturing Democrats to “have courage” to hold the Trump regime accountable instead of holding their own party responsible: THE REPUBLICANS. Yes there should be accountability but miss me with your respectable GOP bullshit, sorry your base is racist

Trump supporters delight in Trump’s cruelty, of course, but they also engage in their own vile speech and actions as a virtual initiation rite into the MAGA movement — it’s the way that they demonstrate that they have the "courage" necessary to take on the left.
This perversion of the concept of courage is central to the MAGA ethos. In MAGA’s account of history, the Republican Party before Trump was a collection of cowards and quislings — people who knew the right thing to do but refused to do so because they were desperate for the approval of progressives. nytimes.com/2026/10/25/opini…

If you remember your Texas civics lessons, the Lieutenant Governor is as powerful, if not more powerful than the Governor in our state.
Don't sleep on this race! Even if we managed to get Abbott out, it won't mean much if Patrick stays in office.
