Maine Republicans had their best GOP gubernatorial primary turnout since tea party in 2010. But Democratic U.S. Senate hopeful Graham Platner had more votes than all 8 GOP candidates -- and more than any Dem primary Sen candidate since ME began electing senators by popular vote
Talarico: Ken Paxton's own party impeached him. His own staff reported him to the FBI, and now his own defense attorney is endorsing our campaign. Those closest to Ken Paxton know that he's unfit for office.
Since taking office, Ken Paxton has become a multimillionaire while our pay has remained stagnant. He now owns 11 homes while most Texans can't afford one.
Trump called the Epstein files a hoax.
Behind closed doors, his White House was in full panic mode, holding Situation Room meetings over what could come out and how to contain the damage.
JD Vance was in the room.
Bring in Blanche. Bring in Vance.
Under oath. On camera.
Talarico: The fact that politicians, including Ted Cruz, are throwing embarrassing, cheap nicknames at their political opponents instead of focusing on improving Texans’ lives—that is that's everything that's wrong with our politics.
It looks a lot more like professional wrestling, right? You've got these old guys lathered up in their fake tan, throwing cheesy nicknames at each other. And those nicknames, they don't lower the cost of groceries.
.@JamesTalarico: People who voted for Donald Trump thought he was going to lower costs, end the wars, drain the swamp, and release the Epstein files. Now they're feeling pretty disillusioned because on all four counts this administration has failed them.
What we're trying to do in this campaign is extend an open hand rather than a closed fist to our neighbors who feel like they've been conned, who feel like they've been let down. We have 45,000 volunteers signed up across the state, we've shattered grassroots fundraising records without taking a dime from corporate PACs, and we're leading in the polls against Ken Paxton.
This big tent that we're building in Texas is really gonna shock the world in November of this year when we win our state.
Texas Republican John Cornyn slams Trump for his Ken Paxton endorsement:
"There’s never going to be good enough for him, other than 100 percent, you know, slavish adherence to whatever he wants... He’s going to have the most miserable two years of his life in the last two years of his term, I think, because I think November is going to be a disaster.”
Talarico: Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves. So I welcome this debate. I don't think Paxton or Cruz are in a position to tell anyone what a real man is.
🚨 DISGUSTING: Jen Psaki exposes a massive DOJ coverup on MS NOW. She confirms Deputy AG Todd Blanche's jailhouse interview with Ghislaine Maxwell was not about finding facts.
The Trump administration used the DOJ to prod Maxwell into absolving Donald Trump. Pure corruption!
⚠️ Despite @Republicans attempts to rig the midterms with redistricting, @TheDemocrats chances at retaking House SOARING.
Why:
- Weak Economy
- Unpopular War
- Corrupt President
- Do Nothing Congress
GOP have NOTHING to run on and are spiraling.
All gas. No Brakes. 145 Days.
JD chief of staff abruptly quits. The rats are jumping the ship, tripping over each other. We may not have to rely on election to dislodge the regime. It is literally imploding by itself. Grab some popcorn and watch. https://t.co/2xAA7TrlkH
ZELENSKYY: I don’t want to agree or disagree with Trump, because he has his own relationship with Putin. But I’ve always told him that he can’t trust Putin or his inner circle, that Putin is playing games with him. God bless, American society remains strong supporter of Ukraine.
1/ I watched the attacks on Graham Platner and explored the one involving is wife. I'm convinced this level of coordinated beltway attacks are Koch machine-driven and not just focused on the possible loss of Maine's seat. It's because the Koch machine knows that
