Inside DOGEOn
Early voting opens Monday, and Paxton says Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is helping him kick it off in Fort Worth.
Bernie Sanders is out supporting Democrat Vikki Goodwin in the Texas lieutenant governor race, per Waltens.
Wright, quoting Macron on the riots: the Pentagon and CIA have excellent ties to French special forces, and there are discreet US options if French politicians will not save the Republic.
Trump calls James Talarico a radical left lunatic and the antithesis of Texas values, and gives Ken Paxton his complete and total endorsement for Senate.
Rinaldi, quoting a Cornyn post that reads Congress Must Investigate Trump's Aid and Comfort to Putin: I can't believe none of this was sincere. Attached photos show a man reading Trump: The Art of the Deal and posing outside Trump Burger H-Town.
Mayes Middleton to Gina Hinojosa, after she says she has never voted to raise taxes: You want a state income tax and a Texas IRS.
Cruz: the Texas and Alaska Senate races are both neck and neck 18 days out, and it all comes down to getting conservatives to turn out.
If this doesn't get you to the polls you are dead inside, over a photo of a silver car lifting off on rocket thrusters.
Ruthless puts James Talarico and Barack Obama side by side on immigration and says the talking points sound identical.
Mike Garcia, who ran UT College Republicans in 2009 when Talarico ran the University Democrats, says he once considered Talarico a friend but accuses him of betraying the student body for political gain.
In 2019, Steve Radack refused to let Democrats on Commissioners Court pass an 8% tax hike, and the rate went down. Lesley Briones voted for an 8% hike in 2024, then this September for the highest tax rate in Harris County modern history.
Bessent: taxpayers should not subsidize health care for people ineligible under federal law. New Treasury and IRS proposed rules close eligibility loopholes so Premium Tax Credits go only to eligible Americans.
In 1965, Paul Harvey warned what the devil would do to America. Sixty years later, the Democratic nominees for Senate and governor in their own words: higher taxes, court expansion, defund the police.
Talarico and Hinojosa in their own words: he does not care what taxes you have to raise; she once called an income tax the third leg Texas is missing. Not mainstream. Not Texas.
