I'm old enough to remember when the House and Senate held debates to find common ground for the benefit of “we the people,” rather than one party trying to crush the other for its own gain.
Stop voting based on party affiliation and make them work for the common good.
New Talarico ad running statewide:
"Ken Paxton says, I don't have his experience, and he's right.
"I've never been indicted for fraud. I've never been reported to the FBI for bribery. I've never been impeached by my own party, and I've never given a sweetheart deal to a pedophile.
"I have a different kind of experience. I've worked with both parties to cap the cost of insulin and pass the largest property tax cut in Texas history. I'm James Tallarico and I approve this message because we need a different kind of experience in Washington."
Reminder: Thom Tillis, John Cornyn, and Bill Cassidy are all current sitting Senators. They have the ability to do more than complain and put out statements. If they don’t act now, when they have real power, I don’t want to see them on TV in four months opining.
One of the biggest issues we have as a society is platforming and magnifying loud people instead of smart & genuinely good people. It’s a huge reason for a ton of problems.
Brilliant video from Kansas Governor Laura Kelly talking about her "constituent" Zach Lahn, the Republican running for governor of IOWA who actually lives in Kansas. One of the most brutal political owns I've ever seen. Kudos to all involved.
The maximum amount an individual can donate to a candidate is $3500.
Elon Musk has spent $380 million on the 2024 and the 2026 midterms — so far.
Billionaires shouldn’t be allowed to buy elections.

Sure you can separate a player from geopolitics if the player has nothing to do with it. That’s not the case here. I wish it was. But it’s not, @bradcsmith
And this isn’t about politics. This is about a brutal, genocidal war. Actually and literally. Ovechkin could have stayed silent- like most Russian players in the NHL. Instead he proactively and prolifically supports Putin, his regime and (this is important) uses his celebrity and godlike status to help convince the Russian people that the war on Ukraine is justified and killing Ukrainians is necessary. That’s not politics. That’s blood on his hands. And he didn’t have to do this. He could have stayed silent. He didn’t. He started the western version of a super pac called Putin Team. He made posters of himself holding a sign saying essentially Putin was saving the world from Fascism by killing Ukrainians. He stood with Lavrov weeks ago as he say they’ll kill anyone who comes for them (ie Ukrainians who are defensively attacking).
This has nothing to do with his politics. I could give a shit about his politics. This has to do with his active role in this war. Would you understand it better if we swapped Putin’s name for Hitler? Or Hamas?
It’s an unfortunate truth that he’s an exceptional hockey player. It makes it awkward. But he’s still the bad guy here. He’s not just a hockey player. He’s an active member of the war team. No one does propaganda better than the Russians. And as long as they have the hearts and minds of their people they’ll keep slaughtering Ukrainians.
It’s official! With its stance, the @NHL has decided to serve as an advertisement for Russia’s imperialist war into the 2026–27 season as well.For the fifth consecutive year, the NHL’s position will help prolong 🇷🇺 war, leading to the deaths of far more people.Please share this!
