Dear @JasmineForUS, please tell your supporters to tone down the rhetoric. This is getting very aggressive and very problematic. This is a supporter of yours, saying my mother should be deported for voting for @jamestalarico. Enough. Tell them to stop.

Gilberto actively avoided giving support to rural areas. As a rural Texan, why would I support him? Just because he’s Latino? That’s dumb

I care if you talk the talk, and walk the walk. That’s all I care about. Representation has done nothing for my economic status in rural Texas.

“You’re supporting the white woman over Gilberto, a Latino? But you’re Latino!!” So what? What has he done for people like me in rural areas?? Nothing. Race isn’t a consideration for me. I don’t care if you’re Latino. I care if you help working people.

This primary reminds me of the time that a @HinojosaTX staffer asked me at the TX Dem Convention who I was supporting to TX Dem Chair. When I mentioned I was supporting the opponent, Kim Olson, a white woman, the staffer looked at me like I was bonkers.

.@jamestalarico: I frankly am tired of the "thoughts and prayers" rhetoric from our leaders here in Texas and in our nation's capital. I believe in the power of prayer. I believe prayer changes lives. I believe prayer changes the world. But there is something profoundly cynical

the undying fealty some people have to the *branding* of the democratic party is really interesting to me.
I was thinking about that James Talarico profile in The New Yorker. I can’t think of a single time he’s used the word “hate” for the Republican Party. Apparently that’s just for Democrats but “loving our neighbor” is for Republicans.

BREAKING NEWS: HB1404 has passed the House AND Senate! It's now headed to Governor Spanberger's desk for a final signature. Thank you @nicole4delegate for being a Chief Co-Patron of my bill!

Tell me, is this the kind of Democratic Party we want to be? Just effectively partisan, completely devoid of any substantial systemic change? Get money out of our politics. There’s only one Democrat who is backing his words with action. That is @jamestalarico

She also won’t sign a discharge petition currently on the House floor to ban lawmakers and their families from trading stocks. I wonder if her donors told her not to…

I was thinking about how Jasmine Crockett claims to regulate big tech and reign in corporations. However, she took millions from Republican tech billionaires, crypto, defense, and finance industries. All talk, no real fight. 🤷♂️

I don't trust this poll for a second, entirely because of the rural number. Yes, Crockett is winning the heavily black east Texas rurals, but Talarico is poised to dominate in the white/Hispanic rurals in west Texas and the RGV. No way that equates to Crockett +38.

NEW AD: Secret police are kidnapping Americans and tearing families apart. No more secret police. No more disappearing people. This is America. We shouldn’t be afraid of our government — our government should be afraid of us.
