Yes, I’ve seen the CNN clip. Jasmine Crockett said what she’s been saying: She will make a decision by Thanksgiving. An announcement will NOT come until December 8.
If I was Talarico or Allred, I’d be nervous and looking at my options to drop or switch to another race.

Hot take: Lloyd Doggett should still retire. That district has a very full bench of Democrats. It’s time to pass the baton.
And his money. Definitely pass the campaign cash.

MASSIVE win in Texas! As you share about Texas’ racially gerrymandered map being blocked, please try to share from Texas media and creators. Even if SCOTUS upholds it, we’ve still got work ahead. Building our creator ecosystem is key to winning up and down the ballot in 2026
Federal court blocks new Texas congressional map for 2026
The decision is a major blow for Republicans, in Texas and nationally, who pushed through this unusual mid-decade redistricting at the behest of President Donald Trump.

Senate Democrats are considering a “deal” to agree to a *vote* to extend the ACA subsidies in December. Not a guarantee of passage and remember: we did this dance in March. Dems caved then because Republicans promised they would have addressed healthcare by now. They haven’t.
This is not a deal

This is like when I was in college and asked my mom for money for a flat tire the same week I got a tattoo. But I was 18, not the president of the United States who should their priorities together
It would cost $38 billion to extend ACA credits next year and prevent millions of people from losing their healthcare.
Reminder: Trump sent $40 billion to Argentina for no reason.

All 17 Constitutional amendments in Texas are set to pass. To get on the ballot, they needed 2/3 support in the House, meaning at least 12 Democrats to support.
Serious conversations are needed about how nearly half of these even made it onto the ballot. Time to start holding our own accountable

Can y’all quit giving Abbott attention for his idiot comments about tarriffs on New Yorkers? That’s not a thing he can do. He knows it. He literally just pulled it out of his ass for PR that you’re giving him 🤦🏻♀️

Neither major Democratic Senate candidate in Texas has a single video up about SNAP or where Texans can find resources or donate. Colin Allred at least has a few posts on X about it, but only politicos will see it.
Both campaigns need a serious recalibration.

The Attorney General is the chief law enforcement officer.
BARTIROMO: Do you expect there will be charges that there was a conspiracy against you?

Republicans could have passed an actual budget with a simple majority through reconciliation. They didn’t have the votes within their own party to pass their own legislation, which is why Republicans *chose* a CR which *requires* them to negotiate with the minority party 🧵

Ted Cruz and other officials at a press conference in Dallas after a shooting at an ICE facility all refused to name the victims as being detainees. All “thoughts and prayers” were instead directed at ICE agents.

This is what Jimmy Kimmel said for the Trump admin to threaten to pull ABC’s broadcasting license which ultimately led to his show being ripped from the air “indefinitely.” This is not just chilling, this is the steady march to the state media seen in countries like Russia

I don’t think anyone is surprised that Lina Hidalgo is not running again, but I think most would be surprised at how quickly her star fell. It wasn’t that long ago that she was being positioned as the future of the party in Texas
