We just disrupted a disgusting congressional briefing that tried to greenwash the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (BAAJA).

BAAJA is the love child of the Trump Administration, Big Tech, the fossil fuel industry, and industrial megadevelopers.

Seeing a lot of deeply condescending “content” recently that’s like “Flannery O’Connor is Dostoyevsky for girls!”

But what if Dostoyevsky is also Dostoyevsky for girls and O’Connor is also O’Connor for boys? What if we all grew up a little bit?

Establishment Dems love to wield this kind of politically toxic identity politics against their critics on the left, and it’s important for moderates to not join them in it even if we also agree that the DSA is bad.

This is a terrible form of argument.

If there's one shift that sums up 2026, it's Kansas's Golden Triangle of meatpacking (Liberal, Dodge City, Garden City, 61% Hispanic), focus of sweeping ICE operations in September:

2024: Trump 15,915 (68%), Harris 7,240 (31%)
2026: Marshall 9,537 (46%), Hamilton 10,411 (51%)

It's amazing that for all the NYT has invested in Texas reporting it still has East Coasters with Ivy League degrees covering our state writing articles like "Anthropologists have discovered that to many Texans, the 'cowboy boot' is a signifier of manliness and hard work."

The real implication here: the Kansas Supreme Court now almost certainly stay Democratic until nearly 2050.

The Talarico campaign generated over 3 billion organic views online.

We did it by running a social media program that was driven by storytelling and designed for vertical video.

This is the new playbook.

Taking back Texas
Ending a 40 year drought
Exceeding the plot boundary

We forged a new kind of politics here in the Lone Star State.

An answer to this decade of division.

Now the real work begins.
