Personal news:

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

I am so proud of the @TexasHDC and the work that they’ve done. Their willingness to put themselves on the line to highlight the current assault on our democracy has set an example for what all of us have to do.

[Kyle Tharp @kylewilsontharp]

💡 NEW: James Talarico's speechwriter also led his digital program.

For @readchaoticera, I spoke to @AntonioAEsparza about how his team broke through online, "wrote for the internet," and flipped Texas blue. 🌊

I just met with Senator John Cornyn.

He has served our state honorably, and I’m grateful for his advice and guidance. 

Now is the time for us to come together — Democrats and Republicans — to deliver for Texas.

I joined Team Talarico in Dec 2025. Since joining, I’ve been able to travel to every corner of Texas and have had a front row seat to the most consequential race in the country. From shooting iPhone content to organizing creators, this has been a campaign for the history books.

[Ali S. Zaidi @alizaidiTX]

.@gina__hinojosa is not only the oldest member of @TeamTalaricoHQ but also the kindest.

She has always believed that the value of a campaign or elected office lies entirely in what it does for people.

And you saw that spirit woven into every part of the Talarico campaign.

@MatthewARein @TheDemocrats @TexasHDC @JBPritzker Historic and amazing times. Loved being on the front lines with you Matt!

[Matt Rein @MatthewARein]

In August of 2025, Texas House Democrats broke quorum by heading to Illinois.

That next morning, @TheDemocrats held a joint presser with @TexasHDC & @JBPritzker.

I was there, too, working on getting creators to cover the presser, and conduct interviews with the amazing Texas Dems who were there.

I texted @adammocklerr and asked him if he wanted to come, and interview some of the Texas Reps — he immediately was in.

I remember then turning to @JoshuaRush (a superstar, btw) and asked him pretty point blank, “who’s our best option here?”

Josh suggested a state rep, who I didn’t know at the time, named Gina Hinojosa. We coordinated with her staff, and before I knew it, Adam and the now Governor-elect were talking on camera.

I share this story to say that creator work doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It doesn’t just end at one hit, interview, or piece of content. It all adds up. It all matters.

And because Texas House Dems broke quorum, because they took a stand, they laid the foundation for what we just saw happen in November. And elevating their stories and their courage I believe really made a difference.

Thank you to @GinaHinojosaTX and Texas Democrats for staying in this fight. We all owe you a tremendous debt of gratitude.

“That’s Senator Talafreako.”

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

Lorenzo Salgado was murdered by ICE 4 months ago today.

Texans have been adding their “I voted” stickers to his memorial in Houston.

I just added mine.

[Scott Braddock @scottbraddock]

Would you look at that, Democrats in array

"The gavel belongs to the people of Texas" - Dean @Senfronia4Texas #txlege

[State Rep. Eddie Morales, Jr. @moralesfortexas]

After a meaningful and substantial conversation with Dean Thompson and her team, I have full confidence that the needs of our rural and border communities will be met under her speakership.

Texans delivered a mandate for change and the Texas House Democratic Caucus is united heading into the 90th Legislative Session. Let’s get to work and hit the ground running! #txlege

[Gabby Birenbaum @birenbomb]

The blue wave was national. But the Senate swing was biggest in Texas — which is part of the Texas GOP’s internal reckoning over Tuesday

We forged a new kind of politics here in the Lone Star State.

An answer to this decade of division.

Now the real work begins.

[JT Ennis @jt_ennis]

Texas is Talafreako country.

Putting it out there: 9 new senators, 50+ new House members, and ~20 presidential campaigns will all be staffing up over the next year. If you're young and want to work in Democratic politics, there won't be a much better time to jump in.

[Joshua Rush @JoshuaRush]

Good news in Texas.

[Joshua Rush @JoshuaRush]

@AntonioAEsparza the greatest to EVER do it. absolute genius!! so proud to have gone on part of this ride with you

[Antonio Esparza @AntonioAEsparza]

In 2021, a little-known state representative took a chance on a college senior.

5 years later, we built one of the biggest social media operations in politics and took back Texas.

What a ride!

[Texas House Democrats @TexasHDC]

For the first time in 23 years, we have flipped the Texas House. Now let’s get to work on delivering for Texas families. #txlege
