‘Always Enough Money for War…’: James Talarico Sends Trump Blunt Message, Vows to Repeal DOGE Cuts
"And let me just, real quick, for those that do not know the history of this:
The first voucher scam was introduced in Texas in 1957.
And for the history buffs in the room, you know that was just a couple years after Brown v. Board of Education.
That first voucher bill was a deliberate attempt to allow white parents to take their kids out of newly integrated public schools and send their kids to white-only private schools.
These voucher scams have a dark, disturbing history.
The good news was that Texans came together, on a bipartisan basis, to defeat vouchers every decade they were brought up.
Until this last legislative session, when Greg Abbott took $12 million from an out-of-state billionaire from Pennsylvania.
Guy did not even live here.
He took that $12 million, and he primaried his fellow Republicans, whose only sin was standing up for their rural public schools.
They rammed that voucher bill through.
And now we are seeing folks pushing a federal voucher scam that would defund our schools, not across Texas, but across the nation.
We have seen them gut the Department of Education.
We have seen them attempt to whitewash our history curriculum.
We have seen them try to ban books from diverse authors in our school libraries.
There is a full-frontal assault on public education in this country.
And it is why we need a proven fighter for our schools in the United States Senate.
It is why we need a teacher in the United States Senate to fight for our students."

The more things change, the more they stay the same
Great guy!
He is quite well spoken and thoughtful.
A whole bunch better than his Republican opponent.
His Republican opponent is totally corrupt. A real criminal. Magas like that in a candidate, though.
he's an attorney that's a corrupt adulterer and he protects pedophiles, the epitome of a maga republican office holder ...
The first time I heard Obama speak was at the 2004 DNC convention and we had extended family over for dinner, Someone asked me to find the score of the Phillies game on the tv and i came across the keynote speech by Obama
After a few moments, someone said who is that and I responded, hopefully a future President.
By the end of the speech everyone was quietly listening in the living room
Every time Talerico speaks, I hear the same promise of great potential.
I had been reading very good things about Obama before the 2004 DNC convention. When they introduced him for his speech I said to my wife "This is going to be good." That speech turned a lot of people into fans and supporters. I knew at the time that speech definitely set him up to be President.
I agree. I'm feeling the same thing about Jon Ossoff, too. The more he speaks, the better I like him.
I did not hear the speech live but heard a lot of buzz about it. Found a copy online and I was sold just reading it. I was like, "I want this guy to be president!" and then I actually heard the speech.... This guy gets it.
talerico is the perfect weapon to go up against the self righteous, especially in the south ...
We were reading some of the Maga comments on a Talarico article today and the GOP commenters were saying better to elect the devil you know, who will vote the "right way" rather than Talarico who espouses radical policies and may not vote the "right way".
Conservatives are afraid of change by definition.
Another complained about being told by a minister about DNA and sex and declared scientific explanations as crackpottery, while bribery and adultery were just a part of adulthood, so he would "hold his nose" and be a good R for Paxton.
Even while Paxton faces new scrutiny for voting 2 or 3 times in the wrong district and not actually living at his address of record as the current AG.
Cant make This Shit Up.
... magas vote for whoever best represents their true values. paxton won't likely be prosecuted in texas for any crime.
I'll tell you what's really disturbing. the maga thumpers in different sections of my extended family are talking like armageddon is just around the corner when their demigod loses the house and/or senate ...
yeah...because he's a preacher.
I think Jesus would disagree
pfffft, fuck that penniless jew-hippy socialist, the real maga savior lives in the white house ... /s
The two GOP super packs are playing chicken with Paxton.
Neither wants to be the first to donate to his campaign for fear that it will hurt their donations across the board.
Talarico has raised 9 times as much already.
Speaking of chickens, I don't see any of the usual conservative defenders here championing their Republican candidate, Ken Paxton. Perhaps they're just too busy posting more comments about the Nazi tattoo on someone no longer running or whining about Covid procedures from six years ago.
he definitely has a fund raising presence on youtube. I sent him a donation ...
I seriously doubt they can scratch the surface, let alone revise trump's political history in the time left ...
You bet! The Dems are going to sink every dollar into winning a Senate seat in Texas.
So if Paxton wins, what will it say for money winning?
I'm counting on the GOOD people of Texas!
So am I. Somehow, I think that your definition of good people is skewed by your belief that Trump is infallible.
Apparently, their idea of "good" is a convicted felon and admitted sexual predator that's been found liable for sexual assault, so there's no doubt folk like that will be voting for Ken Paxton. They love adulterers and cheaters and liars, they just can't get enough, so much so that they nominate them to represent them. It really does say a lot about Trump and Paxton supporters. Reminds me of those women who fall in love with serial killers in prison and start writing them letters and telling the world how misunderstood the serial killer is and that they're really just a victim of the system and abusive parents. Fucking cuckoo birds.
Ah yes, beware of the good Christian people of Texas.
Paxton and Duhon, a "Christian influencer" vacationed in London during our 250th birthday party in the states.
I guess it says a lot when these Christians openly committed adultery,
possible voter fraud, pay for play ( his impeachment ) and gave a convicted child rapist a slap on the wrist after the "investigation" languished for three years in spite of a voluntary admission of guilt and the guy served 30 days and doesn't have to register as a sex offender.
Inside the child sex abuse case that resulted in Ken Paxton’s office offering a plea deal of just one day in jail .
Nothing, it will be a condemnation of Christianity if Texans hate democrats so much, that they would, if fact, choose an unrepentant repeat sinner over a preacher,
because of politics.
raw dogging a thumper bimbo outside the US is a sin? ... wtf?
I read the soon to be ex mrs paxton was elated to find out she and ken owned more homes than she knew about ...
yeah I think they are up to 19 properties to split up at settlement
Ken Paxton, the Texas Attorney General and U.S. Senate candidate, owns at least 15 properties according to recent reporting by the New York Times and Courier Texas Yahoo +1 .
These properties include:
Five homes in Texas
Three homes in Florida
Two homes in Utah (including three recently purchased condominiums at a luxury resort in Ivins, Utah, worth about $1.6 million)
One cabin in Oklahoma
A plot of land in Hawaii (no structure)
At least seven other properties not yet fully specified in public records Yahoo +1
The total value of his portfolio is estimated at around $9 million couriertexas.com . Many of these assets are held through trusts, including his blind trust, which has complicated public disclosure.
While his opponent, Democratic state Rep. James Talarico, has previously claimed Paxton owns 11 homes Yahoo , the expanded reporting suggests a much larger portfolio
sure hope everything on ken's asset disclosure declaration for his divorce matches up for the audit ...
poor mrs paxton probably has to fend off all the viagra eating maga thumpers in the texas legislature now ...
Remember: "God is non-binary."
God is neither binary nor non-binary.
Yes... God is non-binary. The message that Paul gives to Christians in Corinthians is God is all things to all people.
The people of Texas are not stupid. Telafreako was connecting God to the mentally deranged kids that got pulled into thinking they could change their sex.
no worries, the maga thumpers will fix all of their god's mistakes here on earth ...
So? Prove he's wrong.
What are you, 12 years old?
so much for objectivity.
It is rather hilarious how some old tired religious conservative misogynists seem to believe they know what gender an invisible alien being that's never been proven to exist is or seem to want to have a debate as to what genitalia it may or may not have. I guess when someone is desperate to ignore the reality that is about to hit their political party right in the genitalia, people will say anything to deflect and distract.
Except for any who would vote for Paxton.
Are right wingers back to attacking children again? I thought this week it was Commies.
You adamantly and fervently support a corrupt 34 times convicted felon as President and now you just as fervently support Mr. Corruption-Texas. At least you're consistent.
I think he is a bit over optimistic as far as the repealing of the DOGE cuts goes.... You can only do so much to fix your house after a bomb hits it.
Sometimes you just have to rebuild, taking into account why the bombs fell in the first place.
So why did they fall???
They failed because they were partisan arsonists without a love of country.

I lived in Texas, San Antonio, where I came back from Vietnam in 1966! I got a job at a TV station as a gofer, wrote PSA's with my bubby Art Emerson, who is now the CEO of his own TV STATION.
I enrolled in the University of Houston, where I majored in Theater, formed a comedy group of four, won a contest and performed at Six Flags over Texas, then raced to HOLLYWOOD, where I wrote for Richard Pryor, Paul Mooney, Pat Paulsen, and myself.
So, I know a little about Texas! And it is not all pretty!
