What Texans deserve is simple: A leader who will fight for them. I started my career as a public defender. So, to me, it doesn’t matter if you’re red, white, or blue, send me to the Senate and you can trust that I will fight for you. I’m fighting for us.

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

American foreign policy is now an open threat to democracies everywhere.
They are determined to undermine western democracies by promoting racist extremism.
They want to crush Canada and sell out Ukraine.

He defeats a former Republican sheriff, who took issue with Keller's executive order that limited collaboration with ICE.

The U.S. is mirroring a pattern that has happened in authoritarian regimes around the world. When a government erects barriers to reproductive care, it doesn’t just cause death and suffering for women and their families. Such policies are often a first step in the gradual decline of democracies.

You don’t need to be a Democrat to know this is wrong — you just need a conscience. If you can hear what these people survived in ICE custody and feel no outrage, then we are not standing on the same side of right and wrong.

A Democrat hasn’t been elected Mayor of Miami in nearly 30 years. VP Harris beat Trump in Miami by just one point last year. Tonight, Eileen Higgins became the first Democrat to win in three decades and won by 19 points. This is a very, very bad sign for the GOP.

When given a choice between the oligarch class (like chip makers who want to sell to China) & the long-term security of the US & national interest as a whole, Trump ALWAYS chooses oligarchs because everything he does as president is for them. If only his supporters could see it.
