Never forget that David Ellison's Skydance Media was originally created so he could be an actor. Skydance's first film was 'Flyboys' starring James Franco and... David Ellison. David and his daddy invested $60m to make Flyboys. It grossed $17m Here's a bit of David's acting:

No it’s Ken Paxton. And the little nope rope is a rat snake.
A tan snake with dark brown blotches coils on mail inside an open mailbox beside a brick wall. Behind the snake is a pile of mail, including a campaign mailer with Ken Paxton’s face on it.

As disappointed as I am with Talarico and Hinojosa debuting anti-trans rhetoric to appeal to voters they’re never gonna win, I’m still voting for them. Paxton and Abbott have proven they are far worse for trans Texans than this terrible campaign advice.

For a story i'm working on, if you're a trans voter in Texas with thoughts about James Talarico's stance on trans athletes or Gina Hinojosa's pronouns ad yesterday, i'd love to hear from you. I did this story 2 years ago with Colin Allred, time flies. www.chron.com/culture/arti...
chron.com
Colin Allred won't use the word 'transgender.' That bothers some voters.
As Ted Cruz attacks Colin Allred with anti-trans ads, transgender voters and advocates see a "spineless" candidate.
