Talarico: "We have an affordability crisis because we have a corruption crisis...We have an opportunity in this race not just to defeat the most corrupt politician in Texas, we have an opportunity to defeat this entire corrupt system."

Look: I lament to say that I am only three years younger than Trump. Zero times (0) in my experience has a doctor asked me to take a basic-cognition or dementia-screening test. We've mainly talked about what I was writing. Trump apparently gets these all the time. But not frequently enough.

Talarico on Texas gerrymandering: "They have already tried to redraw our political districts in the middle of the decade to try to manufacture the outcome they want...That right to shape your own destiny, to choose your own leaders — that doesn't come from politicians. That comes from God."

Talarico on ICE reform: “We need immigration and customs enforcement in this country. But…we don't want federal agents murdering our neighbors before our very eyes…Lorenzo [Salgado Araujo], our fellow Texan, deserves justice.”

TRUMP‼️ Grandiose Self-Enhancement: Thinking you're far more important, intelligent, and powerful than you actually are. Narcissistic Supply: A desperate need for constant praise, attention, and admiration to feed a fragile ego.

He's really going to keep pretending he can knock out two rallies a day like he used to. This one was bad, one of the worst I've seen. Dead crowd, jokes not landing, memory lapses, rambling and repetitive stories he's told for years. Montana tonight will be worse.

Feel free to correct me but I'm pretty sure he is the only politician in history where the actual words coming out of his mouth do not matter in the least to his supporters. Coherence is simply not a requirement.

MS NOW analyzed Trump Justice Department data and found Kash Patel is making false statements about FBI crime stats. The FBI under Patel has brought thousands fewer criminal cases than previous administrations. The findings rebut Patel's claims that he has led a crackdown on violent crime.
ms.now
Crime stats touted by Kash Patel are bolstered by arrests made by state and local agencies, not FBI
An analysis of publicly available data from the Justice Department shows repeated claims made by the FBI director are false or misleading.
