One of the largest Socialist parties in the USA was in Texas. Cowboys cutting fences and fighting private property, abolitionists taking a stand against the confederacy, populists taking on the rich, there’s a lot about Texas the world doesn’t know.

Nearly 200 people packed my union hall to kick off this campaign, and I’m grateful for every single one of you. There’s something special about starting here, in a place built by and for working people.

This race has never been about red or blue. It’s about strong public schools, good jobs, affordable healthcare and making sure working families can actually get ahead.

Let’s get to work.

[Robert Downen @RobertDownen_]

A great and timely explainer from @NicoGutteridge on the gutting of public information access in Texas, once seen as a leader on governemnt transparency.

“This isn't the right time. There's a war. This is not the way!”

Why didn't you say anything about the political prisoners and the oppressive regime when there was no war?

What way have you deployed that didn't demand ignoring Iranian victims to preserve your narratives?

Why the left needs "sewer socialism" https://t.co/WT94WMu5h4

[Jacobin @jacobin]

Much of the Left has been debating “Woke 1” recently. Less discussed has been the Right’s own version of wokeness, characterized by censorship, attacks on free speech, and even jailing and deporting critics. https://t.co/a2kXmu0t7b

🚨 Ken Paxton has now voted several times against funding cancer research.

Cancer kills 35,000 Texans per year.

Spoke to @_ericblanc about the forgotten legacy of sewer socialism, the largest socialist movement you haven't heard of, and why the left needs to learn lessons from them today

[Houston Chronicle @HoustonChron]

Officials from the Electric Reliability Council of Texas said they hope to complete the audit of hundreds of projects currently in the pipeline by December. https://t.co/eFJ3knyd6R

@YNerdcast You'll enjoy the episode!

NEW @WIRED: Elon Musk is expected to spend big in the midterms, per people familiar — Trump officials expect between $100m and $200m across key races including Texas, where Ken Paxton has been badly trailing James Talarico on campaign contributions https://t.co/FkL4mUXzZM

[Cook Political Report @CookPolitical]

Today we are shifting 4 key statewide race ratings:
#TXSEN: Lean R → Toss Up
#IASEN: Lean R → Toss Up
#TXGOV: Solid R → Likely R
#IAGOV: Toss Up → Lean D

[David Griscom @DavidGriscom]

@mavsmarie lol I’d also humbly ask the California migrants to stop pushing their grievances on Texas

[David Griscom @DavidGriscom]

Perfect encapsulation of TX GOP California weirdo boosting Musk another California pervert in the Epistein files trying to buy Texas to push their California grievance politics on us

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

Texas is the prize. Don’t ever forget it.

James Talarico has a billionaire backed political machine trying to turn the biggest conservative stronghold in America BLUE. Reid Hoffman alone put $10 MILLION behind a super PAC supporting him.

They know exactly what happens if Texas falls. The political map changes, the culture changes, and the left gets the crown jewel it has wanted for decades.

@elonmusk came to Texas to BUILD, innovate and escape the same suffocating politics they want to bring here.

Don’t hand them the keys to the Lone Star State.

Show up. Fight for Texas. Vote Ken Paxton.

KEEP TEXAS RED.

Greg Abbott wants to have it both ways on data centers. It’s fitting for a governor who sometimes claim to have his hands tied and other times wants to be seen as all powerful. But people are seeing through it

[David Griscom @DavidGriscom]

Kinda wild to think that this same guy got a vasectomy live on air

[Lauren McGaughy @lmcgaughy]

At Capitol press conference, @DanPatrick promises a new law that knocks down the letter grade of schools that don’t remove books he says are “dirty, filthy and vulgar.”

“We’re coming for the books. We’re asking that you do it on your own.”

Patrick is joined by Bonnie Wallace.

With construction temporarily on pause in Big Bend National Park, around 100 people spoke out against CBP’s controversial border barrier projects on Texas Parks & Wildlife property at the agency’s annual public hearing. My latest for the Tribune 👇🏻 https://t.co/TY5LKjINEG
