And Ted Cruz woke up in Cancun
Today in 2021, Houstonians awaken to snow, a hard freeze, and a failed state electric grid, lasting days for many, due to an unprepared and unregulated system. #houwx

Brown turned down the offer after speaking with the Astros and his agent Scott Boras. Brown’s focus remains on having another big year with Houston.

15,000 more votes on the Democrat side, this including Keller and Southlake and then the wealthier parts of Fort Worth along the Camp Bowie corridor.
Absolutely insane. These are flipped votes completely.

It’s a state senate seat but the fact a republican stronghold in Tarrant county flips Dem gives some hope to the US Senate race for the Democrats

Hard to overstate how big a deal a Rehmet win would be. Tarrant County is the epicenter of Christian nationalism in Texas, an incubator for far-right policies, and nexus of billionaire Tim Dunn's network, which is riding hard for Wambsganss. Rehmet almost entirely funded by donations of $100 or less
‼️‼️ Still a lot TBD, but Rehmet is leading early vote count by **13 POINTS** in a district that Trump won by 17 points. I'll be updating in this thread throughout the night.
ICYMI: This Saturday, progressive Taylor Rehmet squares off against a billionaire-funded Christian nationalist for a +17 Trump state senate seat in Tarrant County, a hub of the far right. Rehmet already over-performed, and is confident he’s on the verge of a stunning upset in a bellwether county.

The problem is the Dodgers and the cheap teams
The Dodgers are NOT the problem. In fact, they put almost 3/4 of their revenue BACK into the team.
The problem is the teams at the bottom of this list that do the opposite.

I trust Dave, he knows what he’s talking about. I’m not sure who this Brian guy is and what he’s even mad about
If this is your take, why do you think the NRSC polled to nudge Crockett (who was not planning to run) into the race? Is the assumption that Rs are wrong, like Clinton was wrong about Trump, and Crockett is the stronger candidate?
