@washingtonpost Women are 54% of Texas voters.
If Ken Paxton had real support, there’d already be a grassroots ‘Women For Paxton’ group.
Instead, there’s this ⤵️
One thing about this vile video Republicans are circulating featuring Amy Acton’s mother. It is not an ad. It is an online smear campaign.
An ad is required to have a disclaimer at the end, revealing who paid for it and creating a modicum of accountability. This video has no disclaimer and no one has paid to air it anywhere.
(The Ramaswamy campaign is amplifying the video’s message, which gives you a hint.)

🚨 OOPS: A Republican congressional candidate in Minnesota accidentally published what appears to be an AI prompt on his campaign website admitting Trump is “not popular” and instructing the campaign to avoid focusing on him. https://t.co/XVaaRxY4kw
Texas GOP Candidate: “I Don’t Want to Improve the Public School System”
Brandon Herrera called his position “radical” and implied public school teachers teach kids to be gay.

NEW: Vivek Ramaswamy campaign was reportedly aware of the backstory surrounding the neglect and sexual abuse Amy Acton endured, as they polled reactions to the advertisement featuring her estranged mother, yet decided to still run the ad.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has paused issuing permits connected to construction or infrastructure “directly supporting data centers." But an advocacy group fighting data center development along with concerned residents says that some TCEQ permits have still been moving along. https://t.co/AhoKygyjQT
This is a beautiful ad, brilliantly conceived and executed.
It’s also how you lose an election.
If this race isn’t a referendum on Trump/Paxton, then the piece of shit Paxton will win.
I love these kinds of ads but they are why the first hit of crack is free.
Attack. Attack. Attack.

Amy Acton on the pro-Vivek ad featuring her estranged mother:
I won't normalize somebody who has said that my childhood is something I'm 'just complaining about.' Who just released an ad using my birth mother, who I was removed from at the age of 12 for severe abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse. The words our leaders use matter, and it's going to take courage from all of us to stop normalizing this rhetoric.
NEW: It turns out, Democrats for Mike Rogers was financed by Republican donors. The group also paid a ex-Dem council member 30k. She went on Fox News to tout Rogers/trash El-Sayed and never disclosed the payment.

Vivek Ramaswamy is defending a rapist.
Ohioans will never tolerate the disgusting and vile attacks that Vivek Ramaswamy has perpetrated his entire campaign.
The best three minutes you can spend today will be watching this @jamestalarico video reminding people that hope is still out there.
Well done, @TeamTalaricoHQ
Here's one of the texts Texans got last week. The link is to a real group (Transgender Education Network of Texas), but the group didn't send them.
Instead, a faux "trans rights" group was stood up to send the info to voters who, Rs figure, will say "ugh!" and vote for Paxton.
