Spent the whole day registering voters, recruiting volunteers, answering questions, and asking to stay in touch with our fellow Texans.
It's tough, challenging work. But it's exactly what we need to be doing if we are going to win power in one of the most voter-suppressed states in America.

Thomas Massie to CNN on the Epstein files: "This vote is gonna be on your record for longer than Trump is gonna be president. And what are you gonna do in 2028 and 2030 when you're in a debate … and they say, 'How can we trust you? You covered up for a pedophile back in 2025.'"

In 2018, we swung McLennan County by 22 points from the last Senate race. We did it by showing up again and again, organizing on the ground, building a volunteer army, turning out first time voters, and working with local candidates.

Spent the afternoon talking to Texans in Brazos County, which voted for Trump by 25 points. Conventional wisdom says they’re “too red” but we aren’t about to write them off. The only way we can win elections is by being with those who will decide their outcomes.

Hundreds of people came out last night in Fort Worth to support Taylor Rehmet’s (Nov. 4) special election campaign for TX Senate District 9.
More than 80 of them signed up for block walk shifts and more than a dozen told us they’re open to running for places on the ballot in Tarrant County in 2026.

Have to wonder if there’s some money involved in this matter — from the King’s personal funds.
After all, now that he’s lost everything, what’s stopping Andrew from writing a juicy tell-all?
The only things keeping him in line since the Queen died have been Royal Lodge and his titles.

BREAKING
Prince Andrew will no longer be a Prince of the United Kingdom.
In an extraordinary move, Buckingham Palace has announced that the King is stripping him of that style.
Presumably, he will now be known as Andrew Windsor.
The Palace also stated he has been ordered to leave Royal Lodge.

The major takeaway of the hearing seems to be this:
Judge Perry's temporary restraining order against National Guard deployment in Illinois now has a shelf life that continues until the case is fully decided in her courtroom.
EXCEPT, the Supreme Court could still intervene. At any moment.

This is a continuation of an earlier hearing, in which she discussed with lawyers how the case should move forward while we wait for SCOTUS.
