NYT: Madeleine Schnack, 22, a student at the University of California, San Diego, who said she voted for Xavier Becerra in the primary for governor despite some concerns about his consideration of new oil drilling in California.
“I think they both have pros and cons, but I thought the pros outweighed the cons for Becerra. In the end I didn’t want to vote for a billionaire.”

It was an honor to be with President Trump and @DanPatrick today as we work to defend Texas and save America.

@KennethRWebster@JohnCornyn@KarthikForTexas Claiming MAGA aligns with libertarian values is complete delusion.
Trump's illegal tariffs, blocking the Epstein files, and trying to unilaterally rewrite the Constitution. Executive overreach is literally big government.
@RossSchumann@jamestalarico You had a full meltdown arguing with a chatbot just because it refused to validate your opinion.
You quite literally are the stupidest person I’ve ever encountered on the internet.
We learned the difference between legal disclosed consulting and proven corruption. Talarico publicly announced his private MAYA Consulting role in 2019. Texas rules bar legislators from direct school district jobs but allow private consulting. MAYA received standard payments for services from districts and TEA. No evidence he steered contracts, no upheld violations, and zero bribery charges. The graphic shows firm revenue, not personal bribes or quid pro quo. Potential conflicts deserve scrutiny for any lawmaker, but facts don't support the bribery claim here.

.@JamesTalarico: We have a government of, by, and for the billionaires. Those billionaires buy politicians like Ken Paxton. And then those puppets turn around and rig the rules of the economy in favor of those billionaires at our expense.
Everywhere I go across the state of Texas, all of us are drowning. We can’t afford the basics—groceries, gas, insurance, utilities, prescription drugs—the things we need to survive. No matter how hard we work, no matter how much we save, those ends never seem to meet.
This is more than just a political battle. This is a battle for the kind of economy that we will have going forward. That is what this fight is all about.
Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends.
He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission.
Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?
NEW - Pulte “no evidence of any qualifications”.
Sen. @JohnCornyn to me on Bill Pulte as the Director of National Intelligence, “I see no evidence of any qualifications for that job.”
