The MAGA influencer crew just tried to pull a massive smear campaign on Texas senate candidate James Talarico claiming they had a recording of a hospital employee at the Ohio based Lindner Center for Hope where they claimed he was hospitalized for mental health issues. It fell apart immediately.

James Talarico: I've heard credible reports that Ken Paxton has a serious medical condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice. That's why I haven't heard from him after 85 days when I first challenged him to a debate publicly. We're awaiting his answer.

A quick reminder that all the deranged right-wing conspiracy theories about James Talarico are to distract from the fact that their candidate, Ken Paxton, is too much of a coward to agree to a debate.

If you read Putin's statement about the capitulation he wrangled from Trump yesterday, rather than Trump, it becomes clear that Putin has finally finished fully recruiting Donald Trump.

Bottom line, folks: parties evolve, but ideology remains consistent. The 19th-century Southern Democrats were conservative white supremacists. Today, those exact ideological views align with the far-right, not modern liberalism. This cannot be denied. I'm done.🎤🔚 www.thebulwark.com/p/gop-republ...

I've been immersed in research on Reconstruction in Lousiana and it's a very difficult truth to absorb that the white terrorist movement in the South was among the most successful terrorist movements in global history. Took 10 years but it won a total & complete victory through murder and atrocity.
