Texans keep getting the same two choices: raise the taxes, or nibble the taxes.
Vikki Goodwin voted against a constitutional ban on the death tax. She voted against locking out a state income tax. Her own side is still defending a gas-tax hike on the order of 10 cents a gallon. Gina Hinojosa called a state income tax the missing “third leg of the stool,” voted against the ban, and voted against the bill that stopped gender procedures on Texas kids. Now the pitch is “let the people vote” on THC — after years of voting the culture-war side in Austin.
Abbott and Patrick are not the exit either. Patrick wanted the hemp industry gone. Abbott vetoed the ban, then circled the edges while courts and agencies still squeezed the shops. On property taxes they are selling caps, exemptions, and “reform.” I ran on elimination — a Freedom Fund fed by Texas-owned, restricted adult industries, revenue staying in Texas, guardrails on the front end, property taxes gone in under eight years if the package passes on day one.
Four capped coastal resorts will not “ruin people’s lives.” Think South Padre the Texas way: family venues, concerts, water parks, fishing charters, a rocket on the horizon, gaming inside a fence — not a second Las Vegas dumped on the beach. Adults who want cannabis can have a regulated market. Adults who don’t can stay home. That argument has never required outlawing the neighbor.
Were the positions unreasonable? Only if the plan is another decade of homestead tweaks and special sessions. Career politicians and empty chairs produced the road we are on. Experience is not the same thing as results. The men who wrote the founding documents were not the gray portraits. Jefferson was 33. Madison was 25. Hamilton was 21. Dayton was 26 at the Convention. Term limits exist so the seat does not become the career.
It’s up to Texas. I was the better bet.
This is not a November ask. I am not on the 2026 ballot. The race is 2030.

UPDATE — Blvck Diamond raid, San Antonio
SAPD raided this shop in August. Now the state is going after more than $525,000 in cash, a Mercedes, and other property. They are alleging money laundering so they can keep the assets through civil forfeiture — while the owners’ attorney says the undercover buys happened before the new THC rules took effect and that the state still hasn’t produced lab tests proving the products were even illegal.
Shop operating in a gray area the Legislature created. Raid. Then the government tries to keep the money before it proves the case. Court is November.

This is the pattern. Unclear hemp rules. Then enforcement. Then forfeiture as the payday. Innocent until proven guilty should apply to a family’s cash and car, not just the criminal charge.
Texas doesn’t need more gray-zone raids and a police slush fund. We need a clean adult-use law written for Texas farmers, veterans, and taxpayers. That’s the Cultivate Texas Act — tax it, regulate it, use the revenue for property-tax relief.
Due process first. Clear statutes second.
Prove it in court before you keep the half million.

Texans —
Washington is talking about approving a clinical form of LSD (MM120) for generalized anxiety disorder as soon as 2027. One supervised 100-microgram dose in a clinic. No weeks of expensive therapy sessions attached. Journal of the American Medical Association data showed fast, lasting relief for a lot of patients who have been failed by the same old pills since 2007.
26 million Americans live with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Half don’t get real help from what’s already on the market.
Here’s where I stand, plain:
I don’t pretend every chemical is harmless. Recreational chaos and “California-style” experiments are not Texas. But if a tightly controlled, doctor-supervised treatment can pull people out of crushing anxiety without turning our towns into something we don’t recognize, then Texas should look at it with open eyes and a hard head.
If it ain’t hurting nobody and it can actually help families, it ain’t government’s job to stand in the way out of habit. Same principle I use on cannabis: Texas farmers and Texas patients first, cartels last, revenue that actually cuts your property taxes, not more Austin permission slips.
So I’m asking you directly:
Should Texas participate?
Should we let Texas clinics and doctors offer this if the FDA signs off? Should we write our own rules so it stays medical, supervised, and Texas-controlled instead of waiting for D.C. to dictate every detail? Or do we sit this one out?
Tell me what you think. No PAC scripts. Just Texans.

Texas Majority PAC just got caught on video admitting they’re paying people $25 to sit through a Zoom class that tells them Republicans caused all the bad things — then sending those people to talk their friends and family into voting Democrat.
The organizer called it “a roundabout way of paying people for their votes.” He said if he were a Republican he’d be pissed because “that’s shady as f**k.”
They’re not hiding it. They’re bragging about the workaround.
I don’t take PAC money. I don’t run paid relational schemes. I talk to Texans directly because the vote belongs to the voter — not the highest bidder with the slickest software.
If we want Texas elections to stay Texas elections, we cannot shrug when they invent new ways to put a price tag on turnout.

Texas Majority PAC was founded in December 2022 by alumni of Beto O’Rourke’s 2022 gubernatorial campaign, including Katherine Fischer (his organizing director) and Jason Lee (his deputy campaign manager). The PAC itself has said most of its staff are Beto alumni.
George Soros has been its largest individual donor. Campaign-finance records show he personally gave millions, including $2.1 million in 2024 and $1 million in April 2025, plus earlier gifts through Democracy PAC II and related entities. Multiple outlets have described him as the group’s dominant funder.
I filed a formal election complaint today with the Texas Secretary of State and sent it to the AG’s election-integrity tip line.
A Texas Majority PAC organizer was caught on video calling a $25 Zoom class “a roundabout way of paying people for their votes” and “shady as f**k.”
The vote belongs to the voter — not a PAC with a workaround. SOS and the AG should review this before November.

Here’s the original raw video. The organizer called the $25 Zoom payments “a roundabout way of paying people for their votes.” Looks like the AG is already aware.
