Former Texas Lege reporter here. A Dem hasn't held this seat since 1990. Tarrant is the safest of red suburban counties. There is no way the TX and national GOP aren't in panic mode right now.
JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.
Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.
With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.
Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

Target called the police on peaceful Minnesotans today, telling us we were on private property.
But when ICE comes to brutalize and abduct people in their stores, Target says it’s public space and can’t stop it.
Target needs to decide - do they stand with Minnesotans, or masked abductors? #ICEOut

This is from Georgia Fort’s video.

The Epstein file dump is dripping with depraved criminality. If shame was still a trait understood by leaders, the President would be gone tonight.
Condemnation and any available charges should be swift. To my Republican colleagues elected or running, please do the right thing.

SHUT IT THE FUCK DOWN THEN!!!!
The arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort underscore the gravity of this moment. This has never happened before in our history. We shouldn't pretend it's normal.
More reason for us to hold the line and demand a DHS budget that stops funding lawlessness.

Nothing in the videos from that church show anything worse than disorderly conduct, at the absolute most maybe misdemeanor trespassing. State offenses, and here well within reasonable prosecutorial discretion. There is no federal crime here even for the actual protestors, much less reporters present

Perhaps the ultimate deal should be that after any "reforms" are *permanently* codified, ICE funding would be appropriated from now on a *biweekly* (or at most monthly) basis so that Congress will hold a fiscal Sword of Damocles over the agency ....

Career DOJ prosecutors in both Minnesota and Los Angeles refused to be involved in charging Don Lemon and the other journalists who covered the Minneapolis church protests.
The prosecutors believe the evidence does not support the charges, per @carolleonnig.bsky.social.

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE.
They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

Trump’s illegal domestic deployments cost taxpayers $496 million—and counting.
Including $21 million in Illinois.
There’s no money for health care.
But half a billion to waste on intimidating Americans in their own communities.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social I AM BEGGING YOU: Please lead a vote of no-confidence in Schumer as Minority Leader. It's a closed door, secret ballot conference vote. We cannot let this man, who is not made for this moment, be our downfall. He's not a bad man, he's just not up to History's moment.
SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms
1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.
2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.
3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.
