BREAKING: James Talarico just announced he’s launching an effort to ensure Texas teachers have the supplies they need to serve our next generation this school year. This is awesome.
🚨 BREAKING:
One hour after announcing his resignation, U.S. Joint Chiefs Chairman General Randy George reportedly said:
"Donald Trump should be hospitalized immediately; I doubt his mental fitness. He is leading the U.S. military toward disaster."
The Independent’s chief international correspondent Bel Trew travelled across the Central African Republic and Nigeria speaking to women who are risking their lives for motherhood.
The Big Ugly Bill took food out of the mouths of hungry children — all so billionaires could get another tax break.
But when politicians fail us, Texans show up for each other.
Our campaign volunteered at a food pantry in West Dallas — because that’s what Texans do.
Noah Kahan claps back at Trump's White House for using his music:
"Would never approve of my music being used in support of you or this administration”
96-year-old Lucia Santos says she has never witnessed anything as "cruel or inhumane" in her lifetime as the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, the Mexican man who was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Houston on July 7. Speaking at a memorial for Salgado Araujo, Santos said there is "no limit" to the pain his death has caused the Houston community.
🚨HOLY SHIT: Lawrence O’Donnell just EVISCERATED “deeply sick” Donald Trump and his speech in the BEST way possible:
“He actually said the words, and he was reading this from a teleprompter: ‘We had transgender for everybody.’ So I guess that was, what? Donald Trump's way of coming out as transgender?
That's the sentence that was put in the teleprompter for him by the deeply sick people who work in the White House who pump that stuff into his teleprompter…
This obsession that he has with transgender issues and transgender people, and suddenly all three hundred million people in America were suddenly, in this demented man's hallucination, transgender. And then what?
He got us all back to whatever gender he thinks we were before?
Every single beat of this speech is deeply, deeply sick. A deeply sick delivery by a deeply sick person.”
WOW! James Talarico just packed the Plano Event Center in Collin County—blew the roof off Ken Paxton's own backyard—with 4,000+ people, standing room only, and lines wrapped around the building.
This is the county that launched Paxton's career, the same county where his securities fraud mugshot was taken 15 minutes up the road, and the same county Republicans called "unflippable."
And a Democrat just brought the house down in it.
Talarico looked at that crowd and said what we're all thinking: "They're afraid of this movement. They're afraid of this crowd in Plano, Texas."
Damn right they are.
Paxton's out here calling him "Talafreakco" like a middle school bully while Talarico's selling "I'm a Talafreako" shirts and outraising every Senate campaign in Texas history.
First quarter: $28 million, more than double Beto and Colin Allred combined.
Real men don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't scam their own friends for a quick buck. They don't serve themselves—they serve others. Ken Paxton has escaped accountability for 4,000+ days. But accountability is coming November 3.
Democrats, pay attention. This is what it looks like when you run on corruption, not away from it. This is what it looks like when you fight in their backyard and win the crowd.
The suburbs are shifting. Collin County is shifting. Texas is shifting.
Retrumplican crook politicians don't own you. You own them.
LFG TEXAS!!!
It was such a joy getting to spend time with Joe and Jill, George and Laura, and Bill and Hillary last week. Barack and I will always be grateful for your constant friendship and support of our family over the years.
(And George, thanks for the mints!)
