The old electoral “Blue Wall” strategy to 270 died Tuesday night.

That has been replaced by the new Southern Strategy - California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Georgia and North Carolina are the future.

Latino blue-collar workers matter more than white blue-collar workers for Democrats.

Wait, hold the fucking phone, the GOP picked Jim "covered up for a sex abuse scandal" Jordan as their leader after spending the last two years trying not to talk about the massive cover up of a different sex abuse scandal???? These guys.

Approximately 1.6 million Latino voters casted ballots in Texas this cycle, nearly doubling the 900,000 who voted in the previous midterm election.

400,000 were first-time Latino voters, with more than two-thirds of them under the age of 30.

I’ve been thinking a lot about Pulido’s brilliance to turn a jab from De La Cruz about being a “quinceañera act” into a nonstop source of campaign events.

That’s when I knew he could pull this off.

We do need a new style of politics. But it’s more of this, not mean and petty.

I Feel Like I'm Hallucinating: Day 8

[🔥 @fyrevomit]

@Stasiahoney I don’t think people realize how oppressive and tyrannical the GOP has been to Texans.

[Antonio Arellano @AntonioArellano]

WOW: On the first day of bill filing for the new TX Legislature, Democrats introduced bills to expand Medicaid, raise the minimum wage, end data center tax breaks, ban Flock cameras, legalize marijuana, and repeal ICE partnerships for sheriffs.

Taking Texas by the horns.

[Dr. Mary E. Gonzalez @RepMaryGonzalez]

Today, I filed a bill to repeal vouchers. Public Schools are critical to our community and state. Share if you agree. #txlege #HD75

[Holly Hansen @hollyshansen]

In: #txlege Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer files bill to repeal Texas' law requiring large counties to participate in 287(g) program to notify ICE of suspects in custody in jails.

🧵 Communities & security experts have all agreed that a wall in Big Bend Park is both unnecessary and harmful to the communities of TX-23.

The voters of TX-23 spoke loud & clear during the election:

No wall at Big Bend. Period.

Governor-Elect Gina Hinojosa to stop private prisons from detaning children in Texas.

[Carol Alvarado @CarolforTexas]

Today I filed bills to expand Medicaid, allow Texans to register to vote online, legalize marijuana and keep small businesses open after disasters.

These have been my priorities for years. This session is our chance to finally deliver them. #txlege

[Emily Eby French @emilyebytx]

I actually think this is what happened a week ago. Not blue, not red. Just anti-bullshit. Now Dems have to govern in a way that shows everyone they are anti-bullshit! And we have to make them!

[Pooja Sethi @PoojaforTexas]

Today, I’m proud to pre-file my first legislative bills for the 90th Texas Legislature!

From strengthening our public schools and fixing recapture to expanding healthcare access and protecting Texans with disabilities, these bills reflect the priorities I heard from families across House District 47.

I promised to get to work from day one. Today, we’re putting that promise into action.

And we’re just getting started. #txlege

[Democrats @TheDemocrats]

Madam Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa

[Taylor Rehmet @TaylorRehmetTX]

Bill filing for the 90th Legislative Session opened today, and I’m proud to have filed the first wave of our legislative agenda!

Our bills include Elliott’s Law, expanding access to communication tools for Texans who have difficulty speaking; increasing the basic allotment and moving toward enrollment-based funding for public schools; and raising the cost-of-living adjustment for retired teachers.

I’ve also signed on to legislation to repeal private school vouchers and require workplace posters informing veterans about the benefits and resources available to them.

These are just the first steps in an agenda focused on strengthening our schools, supporting Texas families, and making our state work better for everyone.
