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!!!

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

Honestly at this point I think @GovAndyBeshear should file the paperwork for a special election.

If Republicans want to take it to court that’s fine.

Force their hand.

Seems the only way they’ll actually provide proof of life.

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

James Talarico: “We are here at Corruption HQ which is the office of Attorney General Ken Paxton where behind closed doors a sweetheart deal was given to a well-connected lawyer who abused an 8-year-old boy. We don’t need anymore pedophile protectors in our government. I filed a public information request to release the Hoffman Files, Ken Paxton just rejected it”

Three Florida Republicans were just charged with creating a fake voter guide to steal an election.

They did not hack the machines. They did not stuff the ballot box. They printed a fake Republican voter guide, made it look nearly identical to the real one, and mailed it to tens of thousands of voters before a 2024 primary.

It worked. An incumbent won by fewer than 1,000 votes. Now three elected officials in St. Johns County, Florida are facing criminal charges for it.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

MAJOR BREAKING: Federal Judge Kaplan just signed an order forcing the Clerk of Court to release the $5 million judgment against Trump, plus accrued interest!

The Rapist LOST!

[Roger ZenAF 🖕🐸🖕 @RogerZenAF]

You know what? Undermine their ratfuckery.

Announce a goddamn special election RIGHT NOW.
If they want to challenge it mitch can show up and do it himself, or invite the Governor to visit him in the hospital for a chat.

Stop letting these pricks cheat with impunity.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Nellis: If Scott Jennings and Thune and everybody else can have a 20 minute phone call with Mitch McConnell, he should be able to shoot a 60 sec proof of life video to show us that he's okay. I think they know the deadline for a special election is August 3rd. If he's not able to do his job, he should resign right now. They should have a special election

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

"Kex Paxton is  gallivanting throughout Europe with his mistress. His wife is divorcing him on biblical grounds. He's committed voter fraud. He's been impeached by his own party. He's been indicted by his own party. He's had his own lawyer turn on him.

He's just not a good dude, and I think the theme of this week has been that the American people are sick of scumbags. When are Republicans gonna start calling for Ken Paxton to drop out?"

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

Hey Republicans: We found that VOTER FRAUD y'all have been obsessing over.

But it wasn't an undocumented immigrant.
It was former Texas AG Ken Paxton.

So, you'll be holding him accountable, right?🙄

[The Green Dragon Tavern @greendragonhq]

👏DO👏NOT👏LET👏THIS👏STORY👏DIE👏

Texas Attorney General, and now Republican nominee for the Texas Senate Ken Paxton gave his friend 28 days in jail after he repeatedly raped a young boy.

He does not have to register as a sex offender.

He didn’t even lose his license to practice law.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

FIFA just effectively cancelled a US player's Red Card because Donald Trump asked them to.

It's time for an end to the corrupt FIFA they are now fixing the games and disgracing the sport.

[Global War Desk @GlobalNewsHQI]

🚨 THIS INTERVIEW TOOK AN UNEXPECTED TURN.

🇺🇸 Reporter: "You've earned millions from crypto while serving in office. Were you aware of those deals?"

🇺🇸 Trump: "Yes. Nothing about it was illegal."

🇺🇸 Reporter: "Federal conflict-of-interest law exists to stop public officials from profiting from government positions."

🇺🇸 Trump: "I'm not familiar with that law."

One question. One answer. Millions are now debating whether America's rules apply equally to everyone.

If any ordinary public official admitted something similar, the legal consequences could have been severe.

That's what fearless journalism looks like. 🎤

[Megatron @Megatron_ron]

🇺🇸 Fox News, which is considered a media outlet that is a strong supporter of Trump, decided to publish his sons' criminal scheme in crypto trading.

[PoliticsGirl @IAmPoliticsGirl]

I’m not sure how many times we have to say the SAVE Act is a voter suppression bill, but here’s the president saying it himself.

[Emoluments Clause @Emolclause]

#BREAKING: Psaki: You’ve reviewed many presidential financial disclosures. What did you make of this monstrosity of 900 pages from Trump? 

Norm Eisen: “We’ve NEVER seen corruption like this in American history…Donald Trump is MONETIZING the presidency for himself, for his family, his cronies in and outside of the government, and the American people are the losers because these massive crypto deals, people have lost hundreds of millions of dollars when the value of these Trump-associated crypto currencies bottom out. Some of these companies have cratered, like ALT5 Sigma, associated with Trump’s family, with Witkoff’s family, massive losses in the value of that. You shouldn’t have a president who is regulating, or in Donald Trump’s case, failing to regulate crypto companies, or any other industry, while doing enormous profit taking…”

[SS @ss_scmb]

Kentucky voters did not vote for Mitch McConnell’s staffers to represent them in the U.S Senate

@LeaderJohnThune it is your duty to the United States to demand Mitch McConnell’s resignation

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

🚨 BOMBSHELL! CNN confirms the Washington establishment is completely collapsing.

Harry Enten reveals long-time Democratic AIPAC incumbents are being wiped out by socialist challengers!

The base is revolting. Enten explicitly declares the party's DC brand is now utterly toxic.

[Congressman Greg Casar @RepCasar]

RFK Jr. looked me dead in the eye and lied. He said, "there are no cuts to Medicaid."

Now we have receipts: 3.8 million people lost Medicaid or CHIP.

All to pay for tax cuts for billionaire donors.

[Meidas_Charise Lee @charise_lee]

The governor of Kentucky doesn’t know if a sitting senator is alive … WTAF 😳

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

You can’t make this sh*t up.

A Trump supporter lost nearly $33K on Trump tokens and somehow blames Democrats and “anti-Trump investors,” not Trump, who made $1.5 billion from his crypto scam in 2025.

It’s a cult.
