Just talked with a lifelong Republican in the Delta Sky Club at LaGuardia who was heading home to Dallas. He told me he’s voting for James Talarico in November. His words about Ken Paxton: “He’s corrupt as all fuck.” And he said he’s “ashamed” Paxton is the GOP nominee.

🚨🗳️ This week alone, I’ve donated over $200 to help James Talarico win Texas. Winning a Senate seat in TEXAS changes the conversation about what is possible everywhere; and the end of MAGA as we know it. 🤠 We’re down to the final stretch. Here’s how to help 👇 thelibertypear.com/2026/09/23/h...
