Talarico winning won’t “turn Texas blue.” But that sort of fixed designation doesn’t really make sense for a lot of states anyway. Allow me to demonstrate. www.ms.now/opinion/texa...

I mean Marco Rubio got confirmed 99-0 and he’s got a good argument as the single most evil cabinet member other than RFK
you cannot vote for a guy because he’s polite to you in the senate cafeteria
Tim Miller and Jon Favreau will dismiss this as youthful indiscretion and say we need to do more to bring these conservative students into the Democratic party.

Uh, no @huffpost.com.
The REPUBLICANS and JOHN FETTERMAN were spineless:
Matt Yglesias and Ruben Gallego are both Graham Platner supporter? It’s like you can actually hear the clatter of Bitcoin.

it doesn’t take a whole lot to recognize that this is a vote that’s going to be hung around your neck for the rest of your careers
you can just not do it, it’s pretty easy actually

Harvard alum are increasingly frustrated by how constrained they are in writing about the candidates they are interviewing because they are barred from mentioning race. It’s absolutely absurd. But this is how Harvard has chosen to react to the Trump Admin.

Texas is close to not being a functioning democracy
It’s the hardest place to vote because Republicans have put impediments in place based on totally bogus vote fraud concerns - that they just make up
The courts have become complicit in this effort
What we’re seeing in Texas now is a disgrace
This is nuts and I don't understand why it isn't the top story in every news source. The lights are blinking red, you guys.
