Pat Wood III, a conservative Republican and former Chair of the Public Utility Commission, apparently believes that the current R statewide candidates should be voted out so that real conservatives can take over the Party. Wood opines: “This election is an opportunity for us to put “Grand” back in the GOP. The hostile takeover of my political party by incompetents, apologists and cowards has worn out its welcome. And I am voting accordingly.” acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aai…

I remember when accountability and transparency like this came from Republican candidates. Now, the GOP is all about scam, grift, corruption, adultery, theft and lies. Sad to see, really.
Texas is refusing to release basic information about its billion-dollar voucher scam. The unelected Comptroller wants to double the program’s budget but won’t provide data on how the money is being spent. If taxpayers are footing the bill, they should know what they're paying for.

Sadly, Abbott will burn Texas to the ground after he wins.

@GregAbbott_TX will win... he's too valuable to the globalist agenda. The fake conservatives will enthusiastically pass his big government socialist legislation, while they would have to pretend to be against the same from the D. The globalists don't need that complication.

This is an epidemic sentiment by life long republicans of all walks. The vitriolic attacks and name calling of the many republicans who have laid down their badge and offered the party to take its own inventory and self correct has been extended for over 10 months. Further party leadership has been being warned for over 30 months. Frankly the GOP funders said to the GOP- ef off.
Ed Emmett, former Republican House member and Harris County Judge, is angry with what has happened to the Party in Texas. He encourages Republican voters not to vote a straight ticket, especially at the top. He says “After spending my adult life helping to build the Republican Party in Texas and Harris County, working alongside candidates, officeholders and armies of volunteers, I am disgusted by the self-inflicted damage being done to my party. This damage is not only hurting our candidates during this election cycle, but is undermining our next generation of voters.  This damage is being done by candidates for major offices who refuse to address the issues of importance to voters and don't even have the courage to engage in debate with opponents. This sort of candidate is an embarrassment.” acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aai…

What I find insulting is that many of the people running Google claim to be fans of Tolkien. If they were, they would know it’s generally not a smart idea for wizards of tech and industry to attack an ancient forest.

The same hype yall give talarico, yall need to give to Gina. Abbott is behind every problem that Texans face and I’m tired of him being in control.
We are three days into early voting and I need you to be all in. Take your family, friends, and neighbors to the polls and let’s do this, Texas!

This propaganda campaign will be used to claim Abbott’s fake victory. My sources are reporting that Greg Abbott has all the electronic systems owned by his mega-donors ready to work for him. They are going to turn DC bluer but will keep Greg Abbott and Dan Patrick in position until they find their next chosen pawns. Gina wins by the votes and so does Talarico, but she is not the chosen one by the cartel of billionaires running the state and nation. Let that sink in. The next legislative session will wake up the masses.

Property taxes have increased 85% under Greg Abbott. As governor, I’ll put money in your pocket. That’s the difference.

The share of 18-25 year olds voting in my district has more than doubled, which is hands down my favorite stat. My kids are 23 and 25 and the 3 of us have worked tirelessly over the last 2 years to make sure that young adults in this area stake a claim to their own futures. 🗳️🇺🇸
Harris County EV, Day 4 of 12 415,725 ballots in. 57% ahead of the 2022 pace. Here’s the thing: the regular voters are turning out at almost exactly 2022’s pace. Same people, same numbers. The entire gain is people who skipped 2022. They’re 31% of ballots, 38% under 35, 36% Hispanic, and most have never voted in a primary.

Cowardice is sending out a repulsive pro-trans flyer addressed to Texas students... while hiding your face to escape accountability. Two troubling factors: - pro-trans propaganda addressed to children - manipulating Texans through deception "Pleased to meet you... hope you guessed my name."

Absolutely no one has exposed Texas children to more gender & sexuality ideology or discussion about pornography, pedophiles & sex offenders than the TX GOP. And this is just a tiny sample of the snail mail we’ve received. The TV ads are even more ridiculous & disturbing.

There are 40 kids in my daughter’s 10th-grade English class because of staffing cuts and school closures in the district. Forty. And yet Tx legislators are congratulating themselves on how much they “support public education.” Vote them out.
The overcrowded classrooms are a direct result of underfunding by this administration. Vote Abbott and the rest, out!!!

People can read, Andrew. Here are three permits approved for data center projects just this week, including one yesterday. The pause is fake. Greg Abbott lied to Texas. But hang in there though!

Exactly. Right on target.
Remember when a purported BLM group called Dallas Justice Now sent letters to rich white people telling them not send their kids to Ivy League schools, and it turned out that Dallas Justice Now was a hoax created by Crowds on Demand at the behest of a Republican megadonor? I do!

Elon Musk donated $500k to Greg Abbott’s campaign, and then Greg Abbott gave him a $2B tax break. It pays to be a Greg Abbott donor. That’s who he works for- not us. houstonchronicle.com/politic…

CNN put 60 Texans in a room: 20 Democrats, 20 independents, 20 Republicans. James Talarico took their questions for 90 minutes. Ken Paxton was invited too. CNN says he never even responded. dworkinsubstack.com/p/the-we…
