This morning’s hangover is bad. And it won’t go away.
Donald Trump partied last night with communists and billionaires, providing pretty much the worst political optics for a man with abysmal approval ratings.

The bottom line: those voters are not yet properly registered. That does NOT mean they can't vote in the midterms. Counties are working the backlog now. Applications submitted by the Oct. 5 deadline can be processed until Oct. 19, when early voting starts. Check your status at VoteTexas.gov

Texas has horrendous problems. A chance to change things is right there. So I read an article that said Musk is quietly waiting to help the corrupt Abbott and Paxton . Well Texans if once again you vote against YOUR best interests and republicans win, you will deserve the hell that comes.

These are two of the least liked guys in Texas. "You don't like Ken Paxton. Why is Elon Musk supporting him?" seems like an easy sell to a majority of Texans. Talarico and the national Ds should make noise about this.
nbcnews.com
Elon Musk is flying under the radar in the Texas Senate race. Republicans want to keep it that way.
One Republican involved in the Texas Senate contest called Musk’s in-your-face campaigning in Wisconsin last year “a mistake.”

Texas is staring down an 11-gigawatt AI data center campus in the Panhandle. Project Matador has already secured a state permit for 6 gigawatts of natural-gas power generation. A project this massive raises serious questions about the strain on Texas water, power, and rural communities.

Greg Abbott has taken millions from interests tied to the data center boom. Data Nate Sheets has taken big money from AI interests too. No wonder Data Nate wants to call these corporations our “strategic partners.” He’s Abbott’s lapdog, and Big Tech knows exactly who they’re investing in.
Screenshot of a Collin County Journal post reading, “Greg Abbott Has Received Roughly $20 Million From Data Center Interests.” Below the headline is a photo of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, wearing a blue suit and red tie, seated at a table with several people.
