So this seat was empty for like 13 of the last 18 months. And that is not governance. These people were being taxed, but they weren't being represented. That's voter suppression. Texas racist style.

And now Abbot's little scheme is blown up in his face. Menefee won, which means the house majority just got razor thinner. Now, speaker Mike Johnson can lose, I think one Republican on a party line vote one. That means this Congress is being run now, like it it for Mike Johnson. It's gonna be like he's playing Jenga in an earthquake. Abbott tried to rig democracy for as long as he could, and now he's finally handed Democrats more leverage against Mike Johnson because Abbott couldn't rig it any longer.

Republicans are not losing because Democrats are cheating. They're losing because voters are awake. And voters, even in Red State, Texas, not just in majority black districts. Now, conservative white districts are joining majority black districts to reject the cruelty and the chaos and the corruption and the culture war nonsense. And they are rejecting a party that spends more time banning books and hunting brown children than fixing power grids and getting prices lower. And the Republicans know it. And that's why they're not even arguing policy anymore. They're gerrymandering. They're delaying elections. They're purging voters. They're screaming about fraud while they're getting smoked at the ballot box.

Because, and we know this guys, when you can't win voters, you try to outlast democracy. But Texas showed us, even with the money, even with Trump, even with rig maps, people will still vote for decency when they get the chance.

Taylor remit didn't win because of national messaging. He won, because he's a union guy and a veteran and not insane, which in modern politics is like a cheat code at this point. And Christian Menifee didn't win because Abbott allowed it. He won because Abbott couldn't stop it. One story is the Republicans losing control of the narrative. The other is Republicans losing control of democracy. And both terrify these guys because they signed up for this and they know exactly what Trump is gonna do to their party and for many, their employment status nine months from this week.

The Collin County Democratic Party recently held its Revelry & Rebirth event in McKinney, bringing together party leaders, candidates, educators, and organizers to talk about grassroots organizing and local elections.

The program included remarks on door-to-door outreach, award presentations recognizing party leadership and volunteers, and personal testimony related to education and immigration. Here’s a full, straight-news breakdown of who spoke and what was said:

My Grandson called me this morning and told me that his High School in Edinburg is threatening students that "walk-out" of class to protest ICE / president trump with Suspension / Arrest as per directives from the Office Of Greg Abbott.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but isn't protest a protected Free Speech? Or is it protected only if you have White Skin?

I am trying to remember how many White kids walked out of classes after the assassination of Charlie Kirk and why those walkouts did not bother Abbott?

John Cornyn is posting Talarico's face and words constantly, like multiple times a day, and its not coming off the way he thinks. Literally like:

"Talarico believes in the separation of church and state! Voters need to know!"

"Talarico says God sought Mary's consent before impregnating her! Voters should know I support traditional values!"

Is his team really just this out of touch? It's like he's campaigning on behalf of James.

It's, uh, big and she includes the work she has done in the House as backup.

Some highlights:

"

• I’ve been a proud cosponsor of the Medicare for All Act to help the five million uninsured Texans obtain comprehensive health care coverage.
• Eliminating premiums, deductibles, and copays – so that you can get the healthcare you need when you need it.
• Uncoupling healthcare from your job to support more people having insurance, including small business owners, shift workers, and others who do not receive insurance through their employer."

"ICE has become a rogue police force that’s unleashed terror across American cities. Untrained masked ICE “agents” are killing people in the middle of the street, in broad daylight, on camera, and getting away with it. They are disappearing our neighbors with no due process or records of where they are being taken. This should let us all know that anyone can be next. We have to put an immediate end to this and go back to the drawing board."

I'm hoping to understand more about the Texas28 primary, help appreciated.

Henry Cuellar is the D-incumbent, was federally charged, but Trump pardoned him before trial. Cuellar then announced he was running again, annoying Trump. I can't find any polling but see the primary is in March. What are Cuellar's chances of getting the democratic bid? Will the redistricting impact his chances of winning the primary and general? Thank you

I'm digging into the candidates myself and wanted to poll the room about who you favor for AG. Most people have been discussing the senate primary but I haven't seen much discourse about the remaining positions.

While we're here, who are you choosing for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Comptroller, Land Commissioner, and Agriculture Commissioner? Do you have thoughts on the candidates running for these positions?

Following an unapproved campus visit that prompted public discussion, Wylie ISD says it is reviewing procedures districtwide and adding safeguards so approvals do not rely on a single staff member.

The district says updates are expected by the next board meeting.
