MAGA is way more angry at Talarico for having the flu than they were Paxton for leaving the country with his mistress for the Fourth of July

PRICELESS Talarico challenged Paxton to multiple debates weeks ago. Nothing. Then Trump steps in… “He should… report to a Debate Stage against Ken Paxton, who is ready, willing, and able…” Talarico had the flu, but he’s still ready to whoop Paxton’s ass on live TV. What’s the holdup, Ken?

Regardless of the legality of posting armed national guard members at drop boxes, whether the boxes were open yet, or whether drop boxes qualify as polling sites under the law; the optics are what matter. Lawful or not, it’s overt, intentional voter suppression.

Talarico delivered this line at a campaign rally in Texas, drawing a direct contrast between how aggressively the govt pursues undocumented workers versus how little it pursues wealthy predators & tax cheats. Talarico leads Paxton 48% to 45% in a state no Democrat has won statewide since 1988.

The race between Republican state Attorney General Ken Paxton and Democratic state Rep. James Talarico has become so expensive that the cost to Republicans may matter almost as much as the outcome itself. Read more from Jack Fitzpatrick:

The Texas Senate race has attracted nearly half a billion dollars so far, heavily weighted toward Republicans. Allies of Sen. John Cornyn wonder how that money might have been spent in Iowa or Ohio.

International law — which the US is a party to—bans it. See the intl covenant on civil and political rights, it bans degrading punishment, which public execution is widely assessed to be. See also the UN convention against torture, of which the US is a party. 2/2

So army regulation 190-55 states clearly that no recording device may be present at an execution, and no person under age 18 may witness it. The constitution bans cruel and inhumane punishment. What Hegseth wants to do is clearly illegal. Bureau of Prisons ban public executions. 1/2

In covering the decision to livestream a public execution, the New York Times accurately compares Pentagon officials to ISIS www.nytimes.com/2026/10/08/u...
Pentagon officials said on Thursday that the Army officer convicted in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting would be executed in public, a practice that ended in the United States nearly a century ago and is most commonly carried out in a handful of countries, including Iran, North Korea and Afghanistan.

The Pentagon said in a statement that the military execution, scheduled for Dec. 3, would also be broadcast via livestream. Such a broadcast has little precedent, and releasing video of executions is most often associated with extremist militant groups like the Islamic State.
