I don’t agree with everything, but overall, I do. The same thing happened here in Cypress. The locals got tired of the extremists on the local school board and pushed them out… a hard swing back to normalcy in just 2-4 years. Public education has taken a beating recently from Abbott and his cronies. Parents can really feel the funding cuts and the impact on their kids' schools. And I think it will get worse over the next few years.
Yep, and I bet you can point to quite a few parents who voted for the pro-public education candidates in the most recent elections that you also know for a fact voted for Trump. I mean I know of one of the most ardent supporters of the pro-public education candidates here who is such a big Trumper that their 11 year old kid dressed up as Trump for their "historical figures" day at school. So name me one other big issue for Texans where you'll get that many Trump voters to even think about crossing over for a single issue?? I can't really think of one. This goes 100X as much for Gina Hinosa's campaign since the school voucher issue should be hung around his neck, AND she comes from public education and got her start in politics getting pulled into running for school board. Her story is even more relevantly tied to this issue. I just feel strongly that public education and the corruption of Abbott/Paxton should be central to those campaigns.
@ThatBoyNick this is how dirty and slimy the right wing is. Then you wonder why we cant have an honest discussion about policy no more. They're not interested and his supporters follow their lead
Stephen Miller should go back to his shady operative mode and not speak in public. It seems like he's always thinking about what sounds in his mind like a very clever thing to say that will resonate, but when he says it aloud it comes out petty and pathetic.
calling him trans, mocking how he eats BBQ, or claiming that he’s vegan is the best they’ve got…and the sad part is that for many voters, that’s more than enough and will work
Well . . .that is their method . . because they CANNOT prop up any good virtues or action of THEIR CANDIDATE all they can do is try to drag down the competition PAXTON is slime. . .but he eats meat like a flintstone, he like f'ing women esp those is not his wife and Looks . .. uhm . .more like a man!!!

James Talarico says he ‘missed the mark’ on ‘cringey’ comments as Texas general election starts In an interview with NBC News, the Democratic nominee was asked if he wanted to clarify some of those statements that his GOP challenger, state Attorney General Ken Paxton, has been highlighting in recent days. “I’ll be the first to admit that I missed the mark on some of those old statements, but what Ken Paxton is doing is clipping my cringey comments to distract from his career of corruption,” Talarico said, speaking hours after Paxton defeated longtime Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, in the GOP primary runoff. “Ken Paxton has a criminal record; I have a legislative record,” Talarico went on, referring to an indictment Paxton faced that was dismissed after he participated in a diversion program. “I’ve served for four terms in the Texas House of Representatives, where I brought Democrats and Republicans together to pass 60 bipartisan bills to cut property taxes, to raise teacher pay, to lower the cost of housing, childcare, prescription drugs, including insulin, and I’ve called out the extremes in both parties.” In his remarks celebrating his victory Tuesday night, Paxton referred to Talarico by a string of mocking nicknames — “Tofu Talarico,” “Six-gender Jimmy,” “James Tala-freako” and “Low T Talarico” — while denouncing his positions related to gender-affirming care, immigration, energy and religion. Paxton, whom President Donald Trump endorsed earlier this month, was harnessing comments Talarico has made while serving as a state legislator. In 2020, after the death of Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia in a racially motivated hate crime, Talarico posted images on X of Black individuals and said Arbery was the latest American “killed by the virus of racism.” He added: “White skin gives me and every white American immunity from the virus. But we spread it wherever we go—through our words, our actions, and our systems. We don’t have to be showing symptoms—like a white hood or a Confederate flag—to be contagious.” In 2021, during a debate in the Texas Legislature on a bill targeting transgender athletes, Talarico said, “Modern science recognizes that there are many more than two biological sexes — in fact, there are six.” Republicans have also mocked Talarico over rumors of him being a vegan, which the Democratic contender denied in an interview Tuesday with MeidasTouch, also using the question as an excuse to bring up a past indictment against Paxton. For his part, Talarico said of Paxton to NBC News: “The most corrupt politician in America just became the Republican nominee for the United States Senate.” Talarico pivoted to preview more of his own general election attacks, noting Paxton’s impeachment in 2023 on charges including using his public office to benefit a donor. The Republican-led state House voted to impeach Paxton, but he was acquitted in the state Senate. Still, the allegations at the center of the episode are all over the Senate campaign. Cornyn and his allies argued for months that nominating Paxton for Senate would put the seat at risk, potentially turning off voters concerned about the state attorney general’s record of controversies. Meanwhile, Talarico has been leaning into corruption and the idea of fractures in the nation’s political and economic systems as campaign themes dating back to his Democratic primary. “That kind of corruption is the rot at the core of this broken political system that we’re running against,” Talarico said.
a Federal official going on fox and saying that is all you need to know about maga................they don't CARE about the issues, no, they have to attack and lie. At some point he will backtrack and come up with some BS reason The 30% maga base does not care about gas or groceries; they live to own the libs and so you play to them with the trans BS. They will vote for anything maga, to their own detriment.
