[Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @FmrRepMTG]

If you were mad about gas prices under Biden and complained constantly but you’re silent now, you are a fool.

You’re in a cult and you’re dishonest.

[Bud Kennedy / #ReadLocal @BudKennedy]

Reminder: Only one statewide elected official attended Bo French’s campaign rollout: @kenpaxtontx.

[Dade Phelan @DadePhelan]

This defines 95% of the racist, bigoted, fake conservative "Christian" troll accounts on this app. Virtually every one of them.

[Kimberly Reeves @edwonkkimmy]

One new poll of Texas school districts indicates a little over half are adopting deficit budgets. I don’t remember seeing numbers like that, ever. Buckle up, everyone. This is not just underfunding. And it’s going to be a crisis. #txlege #txed

[Scott Braddock @scottbraddock]

Rep @jamestalarico is a "90-pound weakling" who "couldn't lift a 10-pound weight at the gym."

[Travis Bubenik @travisbubenik]

Big news about the Big Bend border wall - this is essentially the first time we’ve seen state-level officials push back on this plan. @MarfaRadio story to come.

[Scott Braddock @scottbraddock]

In a poll *not* conducted by one of Rep. Talarico's best buddies: The Fox News poll has Talarico leading Paxton 51% to 48% and Gina Hinojosa neck and neck with Greg Abbott - he's at 50% she's at 49%. Giddyup https://t.co/ZiPp5BVGQh

[MP Arizona☀️🏳️‍🌈💙🌵🐕🐕‍🦺🫂💦🏜🐟🌴🎙🌎🌻♍️🌊 @AzPetrich]

Clarence Thomas argued the 14th Amendment was written narrowly for former enslaved people and doesn't apply broadly today. Using that same logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets and doesn't apply to AR-15's, but somehow, he's never made that argument.

Rep @jamestalarico on @KenPaxtonTX's Iceland trip: "He takes lavish vacations in Iceland while Texans can’t afford the basics."

[Travis Bubenik @travisbubenik]

First comments I’ve seen from @JohnCornyn on the Big Bend area border wall etc plans.

Notable that even U.S. senators are in the dark about the details of this whole thing, even as construction is set to begin as soon as this summer: https://t.co/luunL6gzDN

[Pastors for Children @pastors4kids]

We know @jamestalarico well.

He is a fine young pastor who shows God's love & peace in #txlege

Anyone who says otherwise is lying.

Breaking God’s commandment not to bear false witness.

@KenPaxtonTX can’t run on moral character.

So he attacks James'.

It's the @GOP way.

[Andy Ostroy @AndyOstroy]

Dear TX MAGA: when they tell you #Talarico is ‘trans’, what they’re really telling you is 3 things: they’re terrified he’s gonna win; they think you’re so fucking stupid that you’ll believe this idiotic bullshit; & they have NO plan to fix your affordability issues. GET ANGRY!

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

This is Nate Paul.

He was under FBI investigation for fraud. His real estate empire was collapsing after 18 properties filed for bankruptcy in a single year.

He wrote Ken Paxton a $25,000 check.

Then Paxton directed his AG’s office to hand Paul confidential investigative files.

They blocked foreclosure sales on his properties.

And they sided with Paul against the charity he was accused of defrauding.

Nate Paul even employed Paxton's mistress at Paxton’s recommendation.

Paxton's own senior staff reported his corruption to the FBI. They were fired.

This is what Ken Paxton does when he’s in a position of power — and it’s why he should be nowhere near the U.S. Senate.

[PatriotTakes 🇺🇸 @patriottakes]

This is a 6-minute Republican video outlining Ken Paxton’s corruption.

This now “unlisted” YouTube video was repeatedly sent out by the NRSC. It’s devastating.

BREAKING: @HoustonChron announces early endorsement of @JamesTalarico

“The Houston Chronicle editorial board rejects Paxton’s self-serving depravity and his loyalty to Washington politics at the expense of everyday Texans. And we enthusiastically endorse James Talarico.”
