NEWS — Ken Paxton’s impeachment defense lawyer is endorsing Democrats James Talarico for Senate, @NOTUSreports scoops
Dan Cogdell, who represented Paxton in his 2023 impeachment trial and several personal cases, told NOTUS in a statement that Paxton “has lost sight of his core mission”
Cogdell is well-connected in Texas GOP politics, and has represented top state party officials. He donated $6,500 to Paxton’s campaign, contributing as recently as last year
But he’s been critical of Trump. A clip of him calling Trump the “greatest threat” to democracy was even turned into an NRSC attack ad last year. It’s been scrubbed from the web.
Talarico said in statement “if you voted for John Cornyn, you have a place in this campaign.”

I’m not the one with the warped world view, it’s you. Karen Bass deserves to be challenged, just not by someone who has such little understanding of how anything works. Spencer Pratt isn’t offering viable solutions. He’s offering rage. Same as Trump. Tapping into frustration isn’t the same as fixing things. His solutions to end homelessness are not even serious. It’s easy to get people mad and keep them there. It’s not easy to actually fix a problem generations in the making.
Spencer Pratt is going to lose because he's Spencer Pratt, not because of any cheating.
All his reality pals can cry in unison. Also, good to know that reality TV is spinning out a bunch of entitled bigots
TLC = Their Last Chapter
It’s been beautiful to watch Repub propagandists cry about “voter fraud” now that Spencer Pratt is getting cooked. They actually thought they had a chance too lol. Adorable.
President Donald Trump stormed out of his interview with “Meet the Press” after getting into a verbal sparring match with Kristen Welker over claims of election fraud:
“You’re a one-sided crooked network. Sorry. Let’s call it quits because I’ve had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time.”

My theory is pretty straightforward. A lot of informed Democrats, some who vote typically vote early but waited, along with some who normally vote late, cast their ballots in the Governor’s race focused on avoiding Dems being locked out (the Dem leadership made this a big deal, freaking out informed Dem voters) and those same Dems, in LA, are leaning into strategic voting to lock Republican Spencer Pratt out of the runoff for Mayor.
Push back on my theory if you want. Offer one of your own.
REMINDER: just over 10 years ago Spencer Pratt and his wife went bankrupt after blowing $10 million preparing for a zombie apocalypse.
This is not satire. It really happened.
These people are dirty fucking grifters that are unfit to manage their own finances, let alone one of the biggest economies in the world.
Are they going to blow the entire Los Angeles budget on a doomsday bunker and plastic surgery?
Spencer Pratt will never be Mayor of LA.
Not because he’s a conspiracy propagating MAGA TV villain.
But, because the people of LA actually care about our City. We are critical of those in power because the stakes are so high. The struggle isn’t a reality show.
Reality TV grifter Spencer Pratt, following the Trump playbook of every MAGA Republican who is on the LOSING end of an election: Make the insinuation that the vote is "rigged." Not surprisingly, whenever a MAGA candidate is winning, the validity is never questioned. It's a fraudster's formula that panders to the dumbest, most gullible Americans.
Dear @Aaron_Torres: Please do some research before making stuff up.
-LA Times poll had Raman in second place, so clearly she has a base.
-Democrats outnumber Republicans by about four to one in LA.
It would be more surprising if Republican Pratt makes it into the top two.
I’m sorry. Why is MAGA pretending that Spencer Pratt had a chance in D+50 LA? Laughable when Republicans can barely win their own primaries and haven’t won a competitive race since Nov 2024. Just generational losers insisting they are winners.
CNN: Can Spencer Pratt actually win?
Me: No — his entire campaign is astroturfed by AI and the MAGA media machine. He won't survive the runoff. Republicans are desperately trying to make "fetch" happen. It's not going to.
