If Trump is deploying troops in DC, then this is another step toward martial law? Because we also have troops on the streets in California and on the border in Texas.
This feels like an escalation.

Strongly disagree, Talarico is the real deal, much more beyond his religion. He really fights for the ideals Texas Democrats have, anti-corruption, pro-worker, pro-civil rights, weโre like him.

In the generals? Iโd vote for roadkill before I voted for a Republican.
Not really, Collin Allred is a DC Democrat.
The Texas Democratic Party is the most progressive party in America. Thatโs what I mean. Allredโs platform is far to the right of the TDPโs platform.
I asked him in 2024 to his face if he supported universal healthcare. His answer was, โno.โ
