It looks like Paxton will not be receiving any MAGA PAC money to support his campaign. Already a lazy campaigner and fundraiser, what does he have left? Oh yeah: claiming election fraud and failing to concede. Time to turn Texas Blue. Time to vote for James Talarico!

While Trump wants to move full steam ahead with AI because he’s personally heavily invested in it, Anthropic’s Dario Amodei said, “Like many technologies before it, AI brings risks, & because it is such a powerful technology, these risks are serious…They include the risk of losing control of AI ⬇️

Ken Paxton just got caught admitting that appearing at Trump's event hurt his numbers, and he's not the only one. Republicans are picking Trump over America and it's backfiring on them as November nears.

Paxton is objectively correct. The line on this chart represents the day of Trump’s midterm convention. It was clearly an inflection point that backfired badly on Republicans.
Silver Bulletin chart titled “Are Democrats or Republicans winning the race for Congress?” showing the polling average for the 2026 generic congressional ballot from early 2025 through September 2026. The line begins with a Republican advantage in early 2025, crosses into Democratic territory around spring 2025, and generally rises through 2026, ending at a Democratic advantage of 8.9%. A vertical annotation near the far right marks the Republican Midterm Convention in September 2026. After this line, the Democratic advantage surges.
