During Greg Abbott's speech to the GOP convention, he made no mention of rising health care costs, utility rates, or the fact that the American Dream is out of reach for too many Texans after 12 years of his failed leadership.
The speech was just like Abbott: hypocritical, boring, and stuck in the past – 2026 will be his last year in office.
“For the first time in NBA Finals history, a sitting U.S. president was in the building to watch. And for what only seems like the first time in history, the New York Knicks finally lost a playoff game.”

Today, we launched Team Texas Public Schools.
Texas Public Schools are in crisis, so we’re building a movement for Texans who love their public schools and are ready to fight for them. We’ve assembled a toolbox so you can be part of growing this movement.
Whether you’re a parent, a teacher, a student, a school administrator, or just a proud product of Texas public schools, we want to hear from you, and we want to work with you. This is NOT a fundraising effort. It’s bigger. It’s our last best chance to save Texas Public Schools.

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.”

Data centers don’t just magically appear. Texas didn’t become the data center capital by accident.
They go where politicians offer billion-dollar tax breaks, cheap power, weak regulations, and a giant welcome mat. If we’re serious about fighting these projects, follow the incentives.
The data centers are going exactly where politicians make it cheapest and easiest for them to build.
Want to slow them down? Start there.
James Talarico wants to put a spotlight on Ken Paxton.
“He’s kind of like Trump without the charisma, or the sense of humor, or the star power,” the Texas Democrat tells Rolling Stone of his scandal-plagued Senate opponent.

Don't buy @GregAbbott_TX's CYA bulls**t. It's like his fake pressers after school shootings. Abbott knew & did nothing as Trump, DOGE, & idiot Ag Sec Rollins dismantled the structure to detect, respond, & head-off a screwworm infestation that could put a $1B hole in TX economy.

Honoring our past, organizing for November.
Our schools are in a dire situation. Bob and I agree, something must be done! A vote for Dan Patrick is a vote to send billions of Texas tax dollars to private schools. A vote for Vikki Goodwin is a vote to keep those dollars in public schools. Time for change. #Goodwin4Texas
Today on National Gun Violence Awareness Day, I wear orange for my dad, Augustine Castillo, and for every victim of gun violence.
They are why my campaign colors are blue and orange. They are the reason I fight. They are why I refuse to give up until no family has to endure the heartbreak, loss, and trauma that so many of ours have experienced.
Today, we honor them. Today, we fight for them.
Will you join us? 🧡@Everytown@MomsDemand @tx_momsdemandaction #txlege #hd115

I brought AOC tortillas from H-E-B.
They make people feel better after a tough night, and that's what the Spurs are going to give Knicks fans tonight.
Go Spurs go!
Greg Abbott thinks Texans will keep footing the bill for his grift.
We disagree.
Tonight, during the Spurs-Knicks game, we’re launching our first general election ad—taking aim at the Greg Abbott Corruption Tax.
Watch:
Why won’t Governor Abbott send his appointed Education Commissioner to answer why he is withholding $130 million from the students of Dallas ISD?
Because Abbott doesn’t want to be held accountable for cheating our kids.
Axios: Texas population boom, Latino backlash scramble 2026 Senate race
