Talarico has a good stump speech.

you know USWNT is stacked when the subs could have been the starters and some of the starters are out.

yay! Rodman is healthy, Emma Sears gets to play at home.

If you're looking for a distraction from the news, may I recommend the second half of USWNT v CAN. So many good players.

Texas dems were spoiled this cycle, which is highly unusual.

I voted on Election Day religiously until 2004 - the images of voters standing in line in Ohio stayed with me.

I'll tell anyone who will listen to vote early in the midterm.

A map of Texas primary results by county with Loving county pulled out showing 10 democrats voted. 6 for Crockett and 4 for Talarico.

Special shoutout to the ten Democrats in Living county who showed up to vote.

Random Texas history. The runoff required when no primary candidate gets at least 50% was out in place to stop impeached former governor James Ferguson (who resigned & argued the Senate’s ban on holding office didn’t apply to him) when he ran against multiple progressive candidates in 1918. 🗃️

Cornyn & Paxton have already had the most expensive primary ever - and that was just round 1.

I saw early vote in Dallas indicated that it wouldn't be lopsided enough to augment Talarico's lead. But 🤷‍♀️
