Anyone buying their own groceries or filling up their gas tank knows just how poorly the economy is doing. If you have a personal chef or a chauffer, you probably have no clue.

No matter what the polls say, all of us need to get out the vote and rid ourselves of the GOP criminals running Texas. I used to be proud to call myself a Texan, no longer. I look forward to getting that feeling back.

How do you beat the GOP? By working on reaching out to OUR voters. There are many people living there who haven't voted in years, we MUST show them that the times are changing and they have a VOICE in the Democratic party! C'mon everyone - Let's get OUR souls to the polls!

Texans! You have the chance in a few weeks to oust awful Abbott. He has done nothing but actively harm your state. Education, infrastructure all garbage under him. Racism is encouraged. Hating the poor. Get rid of that cancer. Vote for @ginafortexas.bsky.social ! check your voter registration! #TX

Don't know about you but I'm not about to bet my future on the "inherent accuracy" of polls. I'm going to encourage everyone I can to vote Dem. There was a time I was proud to call myself a Texan. Under Abbott and company, we've become a poster child for poor leadership.

Someone here on Bluesky made a very important observation on polls and elections. Polls don't account for the extreme gerrymandering present in Texas and elsewhere. If the polls show your candidate slightly ahead, don't count on it. If we want real leadership in Texas, we have to get out the vote.

Under Abbott and his GOP minions, Texas has only gotten dumber. He's trying to defund public schools with his vouchers to force the system to fail. Public education in Texas is a joke and he's doing it deliberately. Then again, he's also trying to saddle us with Ken Paxton in Congress. Vote him out.

In nearly 12 years as governor, through three elections, Greg Abbott has never faced a poll this close. Nearly 4 in 10 Texans say inflation is the top issue on their minds — and after 12 years of Greg Abbott, they're done waiting around for things to get better. Support Gina Hinojosa.

Food prices don't have to be this high. These corrupt bigshots rigged our food system to squeeze both family farmers and working Texans while they pocket record profits. It's time to break up the monopolies and make food affordable again.

The White House wants warning signs outside the #Smithsonian because it claims Americans are being misled about their own history. So I put one where it belongs. #PoliticalCartoon #EditorialCartoon #TheWhiteHouse #Satire #DrawnAndQuartered
Editorial cartoon of the White House viewed from the front lawn. In the foreground stands a temporary warning sign with the heading “WARNING” in red. The sign reads: “THIS ADMINISTRATION cannot be trusted to tell America’s story honestly and in a way that is inspiring, unifying, and worthy of our great republic.” The White House stands quietly in the background behind the sign.

Monica De La Cruz has spent her time in Washington backing Trump's extreme agenda while Texans pay the price. She's put partisan politics ahead of working families and made it clear she isn't fighting for South Texas. It's no wonder Texans are running from Monica De La Cruz and her extreme agenda.
