@data_atx Talarico attempts to hide his flip-flops on every issue with a veneer of niceties. While appreciated, they don’t hide his radical reputation. He would not be representative of Texas and her values in the Senate!
Flashback to 2023 when James Talarico argued at length on the floor of the house against banning gender affirming surgeries for kids
Today, on a podcast, he came out for the opposite position
I mostly agree with this with the following caveat:
It might not be legal fraud to grab 1,000 ballots, mark your favorite candidate, and have a homeless person sign it with a smiley face
But it is a moral fraud because you've just disenfranchised 1000 voters who actually care about their vote, care about the results, care about their city
If that is what is happening (which seems likely) then it calls into question the very nature of representative democracy. Why do we even have a vote if the vote result isn't determined by individuals but by NGOs who can harvest as many votes as they want using these strategies?
@SilentSkyZero He wants to flip-flop on the issues now, but luckily he tweeted them out for all to see!
He is worse than a radical, he’s a radical who knows how to lie. Talarico is too extreme for Texas!
@LoewyLawFirm He is pivoting, but November comes quick. He will get exposed for being a complete flipflopper at best and liar at worst, having supported transitioning kids for years:
@mattyglesias Talarico is a great politician! He is good at lying, straight to your face, telling you he doesn’t support something that he has been pushing for years:
Reasonable people can understand why Senator Susan Collins votes the way she does. She represents a diverse political group in Maine, yet she still manages to cast tough votes. However, Murkowski’s situation is different. Alaska is not Maine.
@uncledoomer These betting markets have gone out of control, and it is very clear that the people in power are willing to sell our nation’s future down the road for the kickback they’re getting from legalizing them.
Corrupt legislators & greedy tech bros are destroying our national morality.
Thank you, @GregAbbott_TX, for taking this threat seriously and making clear that Texas will use every necessary resource to protect our land, livestock, and wildlife. The New World Screwworm poses a serious threat to Texas agriculture and our rural communities, and I look forward to working together to stop this pest.
This is a major issue that has the potential to not only devastate Texas, but America and its food supply.
Props to @donfortexas for bringing attention to this while others denied it!

@EWess92 You have to understand that these people have an absolute contempt for the rule of law when it doesn’t automatically enable their policy positions - they know they can’t get their bills passed through Congress, so they want a Warren-style court to just order them into existence!
🚨Graphic Footage:
Woman fatally stabbed in random unprovoked attack on Atlanta MARTA train at Oakland City Station May 30 around noon.
Suspect arrested immediately by MARTA police at the scene.
Victim died despite aid from officers and medics.
Second MARTA stabbing in under a week.
No names released yet.
The people who said things like “abolish the police” and “abolish prisons” actually meant exactly that as much as you guys would like to rewrite history
Yes.
The problem with mal-literate liberals is they can hear someone say or read someone write "these gang members raped and beheaded innocents" and it doesn't do much. You might as well say 'lollydingle puddingpop'.
The words don't pass into them. Visuals bypass that.
