Ad idea for #Texas senate candidate @jamestalarico.bsky.social: "When T**** was running in 2024, the #unemployment rate was just 2.4% and he promised to "reverse it." He DID. Unemployment is now 4.2%." They got you all worked up over the price of #eggs during an outbreak of #BirdFlu. Eggs. 🤦

You KNOW what he's doing here, right? He wants to tear down the #OvalOffice. This is a TRIAL BALLOON. Another one of his Imaginary Conversations to gauge public response. If the public doesn't like the idea, he makes himself out to be a hero. If the public LIKES the idea, he gets to do it anyway.😡

@hartmannreport.com You just mentioned another example of #DonThe Con floating a #TrialBalloon by gauging the reaction to something he wants to do. He did it again yesterday w/a #TearsInHisEyes story. He wants to tear down & rebuild the OvalOffice, and told this fake story to gauge public reaction.
Another one of Trump's imaginary "Large man with tears in his eyes came up to me" stories, claiming the Secret Service proposed tearing down & rebuilding the Oval Office... which HE KNOWS would result in public outrage.

So he PRETENDS that he stood up to the people who suggested it to make himself out to be some sort of hero, HOPING people will say, "You know, tearing down & rebuilding the Oval Office might not be such a bad idea" so he can go ahead & do it anyway.

The "Long Game" means (literally) losing for years until you've built a foundation. #Talarico can afford to take the high road b/c his opponent is an absolute disaster. Abbott hasn't been defined as such. She needs to do that. NOW. Sans Talarico's coat tails, I foresee 35% for Gina ATM. 😔
Even as refrigerated semis with Abbott For Governor ads on them were being loaded with dead bodies from a Covid pandemic he refused to take seriously, he STILL managed to win re-election easily.

As a #Houston resident for more than 50 years, I can tell you every state-wide election result follows #gas prices. Gas prices are always significantly lower here, but they're on track to break the $4/gal mark just in time for the #Election. And angry people show up to vote. #Texas
Today, gas at this same station is $3.69/gal (an increase of nearly 50% just since April.)
