New Fox poll finds Trump 9 points underwater *in Texas.* Half of Texas independents have a *strongly* unfavorable view of Trump. Talarico +3. Those are crazy numbers for Texas. On the pod, @sawyerhackett.bsky.social is good on the possibilities this opens for Dems: newrepublic.com/article/2139...

The guy who *led* the Epstein cover-up may become our next Attorney General. But we can block him.

There’s one problem with Trump’s crusade against communism: He’s the most communist president we’ve ever elected.

Ken Paxton shares all of Trump’s political liabilities and none of his political talents. He’s the most beatable Republican nominee in Texas in decades.

10-year-old Neyeli Gomez spent her birthday fighting for her father’s release from ICE custody. We need courage like this from our elected leaders. #CourageNow

Trump just made Texas jump ball. As I told @gregsargent.bsky.social, Paxton as the nominee will: -explode Dem fundraising -further wedge independents -accelerate reforming of Dem coalition (Latino/Black/young/women voters) -put corruption front-and-center newrepublic.com/article/2107...

Trump Screws Himself So Badly on Texas Race, GOPers Visibly Stunned

Ken Paxton is making "an enemy of people of color, of women, at a time when Dems are turning those coalitions back in our favor. [He'll] fire up the constituencies Talarico needs to win." On the pod, @sawyerhackett.bsky.social is great on Trump screwing GOP in Texas: newrepublic.com/article/2107...

Fun fact: Trump made more money in one year in office than the combined net worth of every president in history.

Democrats can no longer play by a different set of rules. If we want to protect democracy, we have to employ maximum partisan advantage everywhere. Mutually assured destruction is the only way.

Mamdani is not going to start his mayoral tenure by slashing services for working people to pay for Adams’s mismanagement. The city is required to balance the budget. So the state can either raise taxes on the ultra rich—or the city has to look to other tools.

It’s absurd that members of Congress can trade stocks. But here’s a fun fact: if you added up ALL the money Congress made trading stocks last year—it’s 14% of what Trump has profited off the presidency so far.
