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!!!
James Talarico spent July 4th in Austin at a music festival with Willie Nelson. Ken Paxton spent it in London with his mistress. These two are not the same.
Fighting for kids to receive state-mandated Bible instruction while fighting against those same kids receiving free lunch is exactly the kind of religious hypocrisy Christians should stand against.
This is what it looks like to take the Lord’s name in vain.
March 9: "We're now totally independent of the Middle East. We don't need their oil."
April 1: "It doesn't really affect us. We have so much oil. We have tremendous oil and gas, much more than we need."
June 17: If I didn't agree to the MOU, we "would run out of reserves at about 4 weeks...we would really run out, and there'll be a time when you wouldn't be able to get it."
Immorality

It’s not a bug.
It’s a feature.
It’s the @KenPaxtonTX brand.
It’s the @GregAbbott_TX platform.
It’s the @DanPatrick agenda.
It’s the @TexasGOP way.
They have failed Texans for 30 years.
Stop them in #2026elections
Jesse Watters criticized Graham Platner for cheating on his fiancé before they were married. Jesse Watters cheated on his first wife with the woman who is now his second wife when he was the father of two young girls. Trump cheated on all three of his wives 🤷♀️
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, the lawyer who defended Ken Paxton during his impeachment trials just announced he is endorsing James Talarico. This is huge.
Things most Americans agree on:
Groceries cost too much.
Tariffs suck and make no sense.
Congress and Presidents shouldn’t trade stocks.
The debt is a mess.
The border should be secure, but legal immigration is good.
Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody wants and have never been explained.
Americans are exhausted.
AI is like my new best friend that also might be trying to take my job, my ability to think for myself, and my humanity in the process. Yo like I love you, but WTF, but I still love you.
Diversity is actually awesome! The opposite is boring AF.
Canadians are super fucking cool.
Mexicans are chill.
Putin isn’t a good guy looking out for America’s best interest. Rocky IV and Miracle are great movies.
Good neighbors are a blessing.
Freedom of religion and coexistence without having to blow each other up is probably a good idea.
We all question, are we alone in the universe?
We all fuck up along the way.
Epstein didn’t hang himself.
The Trumps and Epstein were best friends for decades. It’s like Bert trying to tell us Ernie was just an acquaintance in the same social scene on Sesame Street back in the day.
The Cowboys suck. Go Birds!
Things we’re told to fight about:
Me.
Laptop.
Vaccines.
Transgenders in sports.
Pronouns.
That’s the joke.
I see your profile picture. That’s Johnny Cash. My hero too. Arrested seven times. Smuggled 668 amphetamines across the Mexican border in 1965. Took every drug there was and drank like I did. Cheated on his first wife. Slept with more woman than I ever did. Hit bottom in a cave in Tennessee in 1968 trying to crawl off and die. And then he got up. He got clean. He spent the rest of his life singing for prisoners and addicts and the people the country threw away because he knew he was one of them.
That was the whole point of the Man in Black. He wore it for the poor and the beaten down. He wore it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime. He wore it for the ones who never heard a word of Jesus. He wore it for the addicted and the dying. He wore it as a standing witness that no one is past saving.
You picked his picture. You did not pick his message. Try listening to the words.
The Ken Paxton travel story is the perfect example of his corruption. Lobbying groups and political organizations provided flights, lodging, and meals, for golf retreats, Europe trips, Palm Beach visits, ski resorts, safaris, and the Kentucky Derby.. where he met his current mistress. And Texans paid nearly $3 million for the DPS security detail that traveled with him. $500,000 in 2024 alone.
So while Paxton spent years ranting about “the swamp,” he was literally living off the perks of political power while taxpayers subsidized the operation around him.
Even his own former deputy summed it up best:
“He likes the perks of the office.” https://t.co/t2RFQDNZDY
This week alone:
DOJ opens an investigation into the woman Trump raped.
The White House is caught steering a $620 million contract to Don Jr.’s firm.
The Pentagon hands out a $10 billion contract after Trump buys stock in the company.
Foreign governments are caught funneling hundreds of millions into a random JPMorgan account tied to Trump’s “Board of Peace” with no oversight.
It’s just Thursday.
The corruption isn’t hidden anymore. It’s happening out in the open.
I don’t understand why people are so upset Ken Paxton is the Republican Texas Senate nominee. He meets all the @GOP prerequisites:
✔️Fraud
✔️Adultery
✔️Hypocrisy
✔️Corruption
✔️Abuse of Power
✔️Lies and Disinformation
✔️Sexual Abuse and Pedophilia Enablement
✔️Trump Endorsement
NEW AD: Ken Paxton just released a pedophile back on our streets.
Adam Hoffman abused a little boy for 3 years. He should have faced life in prison — but Ken Paxton and his wealthy lawyer friends let Hoffman off the hook.
Ken Paxton’s corruption is hurting Texas.
Reporter: Ken Paxton has taken to calling you ‘Talafreako’
@JamesTalarico: If Ken Paxton is worried about freaks, he should stop giving Epstein-style sweetheart deals to pedophiles. This is the guy who just released Adam Hoffman from jail, an admitted child rapist, after one of Ken Paxton’s wealthy lawyer friends got involved in the case.
Ken Paxton even kept him off the sex offender registry. Adam Hoffman was supposed to serve 25 years to life, but instead he served less than a month. As of this week, he’s now back on our streets because of Ken Paxton’s corruption.
Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America, and it is costing Texans, it’s endangering our children, and it must end. The Epstein class has no place in Texas.
This is Ken Paxton's mugshot.
He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud.
He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery.
He was impeached by his own party for corruption.
Now he’s the Republican nominee for US Senate in Texas.
Together we will stop him.
Adam Hoffman raped his son’s best friend for 3 years
First-degree felony. Life without parole.
Ken Paxton’s office gutted it to 60 days. He walked free after 30.
No sex offender registration. His record scrubbed clean.
Texas protects predators with power!
Ken Paxton had an affair with a "pro-life Christian mom of 7" while his wife was in the next room.
Taxpayers funded his trips. Then he filed for divorce on "biblical grounds." Biblical? You mean the part about not committing adultery!?
Disgusting hypocrite creature!!!
