Good news and bad news. The vendor has (finally) approved our new Talarico billboard. It’s going up on i30 where it will get almost 200,000 weekly views. The bad news is it won’t go up until Monday. Sorry, folks. This was a tough one.

Rep. Mike Thompson: "I've searched hard to find constituents in my district who believe this economy is golden…Electricity bills are up 8.5%. Is that golden?"

Bessent: *refuses to answer*

Thompson: "Health insurance costs are up 26% — that's not golden. Childcare costs are up 9% — that's not golden. Gas prices are up nearly 50% — that's not golden. Grocery prices are still straining family budgets — that's not golden."

MADELEINE DEAN: How many people were killed simply trying to access food sites in Gaza?

RUBIO: Well, since Hamas killed them, you should ask what their role was

DEAN: IDF soldiers shot some of them. Propaganda ain't gonna work with me

I’m proud to have been a longtime mutual follower of @jamestalarico

Let me say I am NOT a religious man and I have little time for organized religion. I was born a Roman Catholic, but never found refuge in the Catholic faith.

Having said that, when I first heard James speak, he spoke immediately to my life values and I instinctively connected with his ‘people first’ political values.

He has remained consistent in his beliefs because they represent who he is and that’s why I know he’s resonating with everyday Texans. He knows how to articulate the argument for his candidacy because he speaks from his heart and that is a rare thing in politics today.

Washington will be better for having his presence in the US Senate.

When I was at the Pentagon as the Undersecretary of Personnel and Readiness, every promotion for every general and flag officer in the U.S. military came across my desk. Never did we ever talk about quotas for race or gender.

Everything that the military does has been based on merit. Any attempts from Republicans to claim otherwise are inaccurate and insulting.

having dinner at a hotel bar the other night struck up a conversation with a mid-level United Healthcare exec. he told me he puts over $300,000 a year on his company credit card just for entertaining clients. In case you’re wondering why you can’t afford health insurance

BREAKING: Rep. Pat Ryan just got the House Armed Services Committee UNANIMOUSLY to force Pete Hegseth to explain every senior military firing within the next 5 days. Hegseth has fired 24+ officers without cause or explanation. Even Republicans want answers.

Bryce Mitchell on Trump's White House UFC fight:

Our government is desecrating its role in society by entertaining sports. Our government is to protect and serve the people. Our tax dollars and resources are funding this operation. The government is supposed to protect us, not entertain us.

You pull up to a massive corporate logo like Circle K, expecting accountability.

Instead, drivers in Spring Branch, TX pumped water-logged fuel straight into their tanks and watched their engines completely die a mile down the road.

One Uber driver lost his entire livelihood to a ruined motor. But when the victims demanded answers, the multi-billion-dollar brand pulled the ultimate disappearing act.

Corporate immediately washed their hands of it, hiding behind the excuse that this specific location is an "independently owned and operated" franchise.

Weeks later, the owners and insurance companies are completely ghosting the victims, leaving regular people to foot thousands in repair bills.

The corporate shield is a trap. They want your money, but the second their infrastructure breaks your property, you're on your own.

Pretty soon everyone in Texas will be vegan because no one will be able to afford beef thanks to trump and Republicans.

This is an insane story. The DOGE whistleblower who said that login attempts were made to the NLRB from Russian IP addresses minutes after DOGE got access had his brake lines cut and photos of him walking his dog from a drone taped to his door after Musk attacked him on Twitter

America has NEVER been less safe.

A Fox News host runs the DOD
A plumber runs DHS
A landscaper runs Domestic Terrorism
A Trump lawyer runs the DOJ
A Maga influencer runs the FBI

And now a trust fund brat with ZERO Intel experience runs the DNI 🤬

This is really, actually, no-kidding the disclaimer Hannity ran after his interview with Todd Blanche

[Russell Foster A New Texas @RussellFosterTX]

I'm amazed at how the Texas GOP keeps telling us how bad our government is while wanting us to continue to vote for that very government they have run for the last 3 decades. It's such bad pretzel logic.

In Denmark, McDonalds workers make $25 an hour and, if they are over twenty, the company starts paying into a pension plan for them, and in addition they have a full 6 weeks of paid vacation.

Now how much do you think this costs customers? The Economist looked into this and found out that the Big Mac costs 76 cents less than it does here.

Don't believe the lies that raising the minimum wage would force prices to go up.

🚨 Adriana Camberos stole 10s of millions from American consumers.

Trump granted her a full pardon, allowing her to keep $48.8 million in stolen funds.
