I love how Republicans have to pour a bunch more money into the Senate race again because neither John Cornyn nor Ken Paxton got enough votes.

Love me a GOP catfight runoff.

The Texas Supreme Court just blocked the judgeโ€™s order that would have kept Democratic polls open until 9 p.m.

But don't let them trick you: anyone who was in line by 7PM STILL has the legal right to vote and have it counted. Anyone after will have their vote collected, but counting isnโ€™t certain.

The Feds Targeted Charlotte. Now a Local Democrat Who Helped ICE Faces Voters. - Bolts North Carolina lawmaker Carla Cunningham voted to mandate compliance with ICE, and derided immigrants on the House floor. The Democrat faces an intense March primary.

JUST IN: North Carolina's Dem lawmaker Carla Cunningham gave the GOP the decisive vote to pass a law forcing police to comply with ICE. She said "all cultures are not equal."

She just lost reelection BIG in the Dem primary to a progressive pastor & activist, Rodney Sadler. 70% to 22%!

Meme showing a quote from Congressman Ted Lieu criticizing the State Department for telling Americans to leave a dangerous situation using commercial flights even though airports and airspace were closed. He says the government should immediately arrange evacuation flights and should have had a plan.

Marco Rubio put Americans at risk and then abandoned them. He must be held accountable.

A tweet from Eleanor Klibanoff saying, "The Texas Supreme Court has temporarily BLOCKED a Dallas judgeโ€™s order to keep the polls open til 9, ordering the county to separate out votes from people who were not in line at 7pm. 

Not a final ruling, but will create chaos in getting results from Dallas County"

Wow. If any races in Dallas County are super tight, this will be a huge legal fight as thousands of votes hang in purgatory.

They call the Department of Defense the Department of War, but then say their war isnโ€™t a war because itโ€™s preemptively defensive.
