So @GregAbbott_TX is focused on “banning Sharia law.” Meanwhile @GinaHinojosaTX is focused on funding public schools, protecting communities from unregulated data centers, and won’t ever sell out our state to billionaires like Elon Musk.

Elon Musk is using Ken Paxton (the attack dog he has purchased) to go after Sam Altman, his top business and geopolitical rival. He didn't even wait until after the election.

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. @ElonMusk: Texas is not for sale.

MUST WATCH INTERVIEW: Republican @MillerForTexas absolutely destroys @GregAbbott_TX on @MSNOWNews with @KatyTurNBC for approving more than 30 data center permits after promising Texas that all data center permits are on hold. “He took $20 million from the data center people.”

My heart is filled with hope. Hope that Texas voters see past the hate-filled fear mongering that is in every Republican ad telling you to fear immigrants, fear transgender Americans, fear those who are different than you. Hope and the ballot box can change everything. 💙🙏🏽

Texas was built by hope. By people who had no business believing — but believed anyway. To every Texan who’s ever wondered if anyone in power is paying attention: We are taking our state back. Because a little bit of hope is a dangerous thing.

Elon Musk is funding Greg Abbott’s campaign while receiving $1.7B in property tax breaks and vendor contracts steered his way by the Governor. Now, Abbott is planning on selling our beach, Boca Chica State Park, to the world’s only trillionaire.

Gov. Greg Abbott has raised about $9 million from data center-related donors since July 2025, which accounts for about 13% of the donations he’s taken in during that time. With support from @tarbellcenter: bit.ly/4i9bG0y

Greg Abbott raked in $9 million from data center donors

About $5 million of the haul came from donors who develop, own or operate data centers, a Tribune analysis found. The other share of the donations came from people and groups with indirect financial...

When you head to the voting booth, remember that @GregAbbott_TX sells us out every chance he gets. Whether it’s tax breaks for billionaire data center developers, a voucher scam to fund private schools, or selling out OUR PUBLIC LANDS to Elon Musk! 🤯 Vote @GinaHinojosaTX

He. Could. Have. Done. This. MONTHS AGO! @GregAbbott_TX has called 12 special sessions during his tenure as Governor. One lasted only 12 days. This is called “gaslighting.” Vote @GinaHinojosaTX

NEWS from Gov Abbott interview on data centers: - he commits to turning his exec orders into law next session, refuting critics who say they’re an election stunt. -he supports giving *counties* city-like power to regulate data centers. Rural counties want zoning power.

Greg Abbott only comes to communities like El Paso to raise campaign money. Texans want to know why he invited data centers to our state, why he defunded public schools with his voucher scheme, and why he didn’t stand up to Trump’s takeover of Big Bend. Vote @GinaHinojosaTX

In our interview, we asked Governor Greg Abbott why he won’t debate Rep. Gina Hinojosa. Here’s what he said.

Elon Musk is buying the senate seat for Ken Paxton. Billionaires buy themselves Senators so they can keep exploiting our resources, our communities and avoid being taxed. The good news is we can stop them if we turn out the vote for @jamestalarico.

How does democracy function when one person can donate $150 million for 1 Senate race? In a state where one of his companies has major facilities?

I cannot understate how impactful a @GinaHinojosaTX victory would be for Texas. A Governor Hinojosa would have veto power, ability to appoint level-headed public servants in a number of positions and would fundamentally change the direction of Texas for the better. Her victory would single-handily have the biggest impact on the daily lives of working class Texans out of anyone on your ballot.

In Dubai, Paxton and his girlfriend watched fireworks at a party with two fugitives who had failed to return to the U.S. to face federal healthcare fraud charges. One of them, Anosh Ahmed, had donated $190,000 to Paxton. wsj.com/politics/policy/ken-… w/ @MarkMaremont @jdawsey1

Ken Paxton is selling off Texas — our land, our water, our communities. Data centers bankroll Paxton, they get tax breaks, and you get stuck with the bill. We can’t afford Ken Paxton’s corruption. (This ad was made by humans — not AI.)
