Love it. Couldn't have happened to a bigger sonofabitch who 100% was a bad faith actor in pretending he was "reasonable" but then moved right to appease a base that never trusted him and frankly hated his guts. Hope you enjoy political Siberia with Will Hurd and others who knew better.

They can join the coalition, but they shouldn't expect to lead.

What this primary season has taught me two things Folks are running scared when we need them to be bold, but they are also not thinking strategically and working to maximize voting potential. Again, we have highly unpopular leadership in this state. Just take the fight to them. Not each other.

But on the other hand another message if we have only Austin based candidates will be "dont Austin my Texas." I don't think Democratic base voters fully understand the seething hatred rural Texans have for "city folk."

Another thing is we cannot win if we are seen as the party only for women. If we literally have only women as candidates for statewide office besides Railroad and Ag Comission. Its a bad look.

I am likely to support Talrico in the primary as I feel this idea that we can magically expand the electorate in the year of our lord 2026 to win is beyond ridiculous. 2026 will be a pure turnout game.

The whole Crockett v Talrico primary debate will have next to little on issues and more on style. The question is does anger translate into crossover or turnout vs an appeal to better angels. Its funny because I also see this as another front of the Abrams v Ossoff battle in GA.

They changed the lyrics during Vietnam to "as he died to make men holy, let us live to make man free." I personally prefer the original lyrics. When this song was sung at my HS graduation, knowing I was going to be joining the Corps and seeking a commission, I got teary eyed.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

This “big, ugly bill” is dangerous and will destroy rural health care. In Kentucky alone, 35 hospitals are under the threat of closing, stripping care from families, cutting jobs and crippling local economies. 1/2

Work requirements hurt poor people AND are a waste of money. Arkansas spent $26 million on administrative costs for work requirements — and saw no increase in employment. Georgia’s program cost $40 million in one year — 80% of that went to administrative and consulting costs.

this is the tweet that led to him saying 'my bad' it's very clear that he's trying to pivot toward 'you can trust me because i am not ideological, i just say what i feel.' but the truth is he just got so red-pilled by anti-woke stuff on his social media timelines that he couldn't see the obvious

As an Army veteran who spent more time down range than our current Sec of the Army did in about as much time of service, I can honestly say that sometimes using the term "fuck up" is actually putting it lightly because it's more than a "shit show" but not a "royal fuck up"

NBC News: The Espionage Act contains a provision making it crime to disclose national defense secrets "through gross negligence."   The law does not require info be classified, because it was written before the classification system existed. The law refers simply to "national defense information."

Do you think Dem Governors will play a bigger role: see Pritzker, Moore, Beshear, Whitmer? I get the sense that part of the Dems problem is all our leadership is outside of DC because the DC leadership is so geriatric.

No because I don't feel like arguing about the difference between socialism and Marxism and the difference between Democratic socialism versus command economic theory. Remember that the average swing voter in swing states has a less than 3rd grade understanding of economic theory
