Watching the videos makes me think; are they talking about themselves? Really, are they deflecting on their Party? It sure does sound that way because the Democratic Base is complaining that the leadership is not doing anything. I can’t wait to learn more about the shooter. They will continue to lie about who he is but I do think he is one of them. I don’t really know what to think but I’m sick, sick, sick of hearing the GOP lying about us. When it is them! They are the ones that caused this. 😠

What do you think is being done differently in Texas that may change for democrats in 2026. I dont live in Texas but i am curious if you notice differences between the texas democrats under Kendall Scudder and differences when Hinojosa was party chair. What do you see differently?

Am I way off topic? I thought about skipping today, but all this Kirk saga feels so heavy. I wanted to say something.

I know. No i think its better then you are off topic because too many people are concentrating on the saga and the change of pace is needed. Reminds me of a book i read where sometimes the simplest of delights such as a cup of coffee. The ordinary grounds us and perhaps this is what may break the drugs that people are in

Too many people are terminally online myself included and tbh its because of how even the “simplest of delights” is too expensive and time consuming to enjoy.

Honestly. Not gonna lie the saga and the political climate has been affecting my ability to prepare a political campaign. Its just been draining me a bit.

Yes, lots. There’s an SDEC meeting this weekend. I have insiders with ears. I’ll give updates early next week. They’ve had a big uptick in precinct chairs. I’ll try to get that number. Also, they’ve dug themselves out of a financial hole as far as I’ve heard.

Talirico on MSNBC preaching turn the other cheek......where do u live man? .......MAGA wants our blood , not our friendship..and we don't need u preaching to us.....tell us what u will do in the US Senate and how u will beat Cronry or that other guy...save the preaching for the pastors....

readers, if we get 9 months of preachy James, Texas will quickly switch off. If he wants to be a moral leader the US Senate is not the place, and Texans know this.

Michelle-I haven't read this yet, but wanted to reply to yesterday's substack: I am so sorry about your cat. That little cat gave you so much joy, I'm sure.
