A noteworthy takeaway from tonight's Texas result is that the Republicans spent a metric truckload of money on this race. They spent millions more than the Democrats. The loss itself aside, this is a gigantic, flashing warning sign for the GOP's finances.

I am not just a no, but a firm no.
I will be making the case to all House Democrats to vote no on the appropriations bill, which does not repeal the tripled ICE funding.

If you care about Don Lemon, don't forgot Mario Guevara (reporter who was filming police at a No Kings rally in June) was targeted for his journalistic activity; detained for 112 days; and deported. He had no criminal charges against him and was on the path to getting a green card.

lol good luck with your Trump-friendly gerrymander this November, Texas GOP.
This is a 31 point swing, y’all!
Like every state in the nation, Texans hate what the Trump regime is doing — stripping our healthcare, jobs, affordability, education, safety net, and the shredding of our constitution.
And we want brownshirt #ICEoffOurStreets NOW.

Republicans just lost a district Trump won by 17 points- in Texas. That’s not an anomaly, it’s a pattern. Democrats are building on our historic overperformance, and we’re not slowing down. November is coming, and we’re ready. ALL GAS, NO BRAKES!!
Texas State Senate 9 Special Runoff - PROJECTION
- 🔵 ☑️ Taylor Rehmet (D) - 54,228 (57.2%)
- 🔴 Leigh Wambsganss (R) - 40,570 (42.8%)
We can project that Taylor Rehmet has won election to the Texas State Senate, flipping this seat to the Democrats.

The Trump admin’s whole case regarding Haitians in Ohio is racism, xenophobia, and lies. There’s literally nothing else to it.
Legal status, proper papers. No criminal record. Employers, neighbors, local leaders say they’re a benefit to the community.
It’s showy, bigoted cruelty, nothing more.
