This is a State Senate district just outside of Fort Worth that Trump carried by 20 pts last year. If Texas Dems can get their act together and pump even the slightest amount of real money into this race (admittedly a big if), it's winnable.

BIG result, folks:

Bucks County, Pennsylvania, was ground zero for the conservative takeover of school boards & anti-LGBTQ policies in 2021, on the Central Bucks and Pennridge boards.

Dems flipped both boards back in 2023.

Tonight, Dems have ousted *all* Republicans from both school boards.

Lower-profile races where Ds are doing very well are in Texas

loooow turnout and Ds are combining for 84% in the CD18 special (Harris got 69%)

+The Dem is overperforming Biden's margin in the SD9 special in Tarrant (where they don't usually do well in low-turnout races)

This is why Chuck has NO REASON to come back to the table. Let them twist. If you're coming back with wins this big during a shutdown, the people know where their bread is buttered. Don't throw them a lifeline. These aren't tiny margin wins. They're blowouts.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

Hello everyone in Houston! Do you hate Mike Miles? Vote for HISD trustees (school board) who hate him too and who will strip out his harmful policies as soon as possible (when local control is returned by the state)!

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Doc told me that because the pain wasn't coming in exactly the way he expected (and has never experienced) he didn't beleive it was a uti. I begged.

I get that we overproscribe antibiotics. But sometimes, we gotta fucking beleive people!

100% agree. I'm prone to UTIs. I am aware of this, have experienced many, and have other long term medical issues that will keep me prone to UTIs. Last time I had one I got lectured by the urgent care doc who almost refused to give me antibiotics even with visible blood in my urine.

For Houston people: Please vote in the school board elections! These members won't have power yet but as we "transition" to local control, we want people who oppose the takeover and book bans to be the ones in office!

How Two Billionaire Preachers Remade Texas Politics (Published 2024)

you think about the scale of the Wilkes and Dunn empire and you just kind of go blank at the way they have their hands in everything www.nytimes.com/2024/10/02/m...

This is what I keep saying about the takeover of HISD. What is happening here is what the republican donors like Dunn want to have happen to the entire country. It is bad. It is getting worse. It is truly an effort to destroy public ed, and I fear for how harmed HISD students are/will be.
