Democrats sold their soul for a Senate seat. The party ignored the bigotry, the misogyny, and the warning signs because they confused white masculinity with electability.

I am 51, and you are in your 30s but you look 45 with the filter on. You are aging in banana years. Focus less on me and more on your rapidly approaching sell by date.
Pro tip: Wash rags and moisturizing works wonders on slowing down the aging process.
Telling my grandchildren this was Chris Bouzy.
I’m kidding, Chris. I like Idi Amin way more than you. He was a populist who genuinely opposed US Imperialism. I’m just sayinf you look like Forest Whitaker.
Goodnight. Never speak on my state EVER again.
At some point, we have to talk about @CookPolitical and other “prognosticators” who had me and other southern candidates labeled as solid R for much of the campaign cycle. They made it much more difficult to fundraise and are part of the reason the South has been neglected for so long.
They’re only a reflection of the past and mysteriously avoid any accountability when they’re wrong. One of their “analysts” was extremely condescending to me (not Jessica) when I tried to make my pitch for why they were wrong about my rating like he knew something about MS politics when he’s never been to the Sip. This attitude hurt Jaime Davis & others so much.
You wrote: "I don’t vote, I VETO..."
You are not a citizen, and you literally can't vote or veto. You are just a delusional MAGA spectator.
Don't let the wave hit you on the way out.
You goofy dipshits didn't learn anything from last night. Your state flipped from red to blue overnight, and you somehow think the voters have given you a mandate to rein someone in. Voters want to rein YOU in.
🚨 I call on Gov. Abbott to IMMEDIATELY convene a special session to REIN IN EXECUTIVE EMERGENCY POWERS… before Gina Hinojosa is sworn in!
Republicans lost last night, but Democrats were not sworn in.
We still have total power in Texas, and we must act like it by using the remaining ten weeks to restore separation of powers and limit the emergency powers that Governor-Elect Hinojosa is set to inherit, which would allow her to destroy liberty in Texas by executive fiat.
I’ve warned since I was first elected that NO governor, Republican or Democrat, should have unchecked emergency powers!
Now that Texas has elected a Democrat Governor, the urgency is undeniable… and inaction is intolerable.
Without action, Governor Hinojosa will inherit the powers of a DICTATOR.
Due to the absurd (and almost certainly unconstitutional) Texas emergency powers laws, Gov. Hinojosa will literally have the power to modify laws, ignore laws, or create and enforce laws – including criminal laws – on a whim!
Today is a day for ACTION, and bold leadership.
The Texas Legislature must immediately pass, and Governor Abbott must sign, legislation like HB911, which I filed in 2022 and warned at the time, that “Never ending emergency powers are antithetical to representative government and render people powerless. Legislative bodies allowing a single executive branch official to both write and enforce laws is the biggest threat to our constitutional system of divided government and should be opposed irrespective of which political party runs the executive branch.”
My legislation would protect liberty from executive fiat by, among other things, taking the following actions:
1. Prohibit the Governor from suspending or modifying statutes
2. Sunset emergency orders in 30 days if the legislature does not ratify the order
3. Prohibit the governor from reissuing emergency orders that expired or the legislature rejected
4. Require emergency orders to be narrowly tailored
5. Subject emergency orders to expedited judicial review
We have TEN WEEKS LEFT to protect Texas from near total Democrat rule.
I encourage every elected Republican in Texas to join my demand for Gov. Abbott to call a special session.
The future of liberty in America is literally on the line in Texas, and Texans deserve leadership that acts accordingly.

A Blackface bot? You clearly ate lead paint as a child. I have been on every major cable/news network, and appeared in several documentaries including a Netflix documentary.
@mattforney@TonerousHyus I disagree with Matt politically, but he is right about Substack. I literally come here just to piss off stupid people. Basic arithmetic is apparently too advanced for these intellectual rejects. These are the people who ate lead paint chips like Doritos.
Earlier today, I was asked who would win Brazil's presidential election. I predicted Lula. Polls and prediction markets favored Bolsonaro, yet Lula won. This should be a wakeup call for the United States. The polls are wrong.

So you think Talarico taking a photo with a Black woman translates to him overperforming with Black voters? No one said he will not get the majority of the Black vote, but the raw number needs to be higher than what Beto received. You are not a serious person.
