"I want to be a senator for every Texan who can't afford one."
Hell of a line from @jamestalarico in the rally clip below, commenting on the mind-blowing sum of special interest money being spent on behalf of Ken Paxton, led Elon's more than $150 million.
Talarico: This election is a battle between the powers that be and the powers that ought to be. The powers that be have chosen their candidate. They have bought and paid for Ken Paxton.
But we are standing with the powers that ought to be the teachers and the nurses, the farmers and the ranchers. The grandmother who is facing eviction, the little boy who's waking up in the middle of the night from the lights of the data center, the small business owner, who is struggling to keep his family restaurant open. Those Texans are my team.
They are why I'm in this race. I want to be a senator for every Texan who can't afford one. You want to know why they are spending $200 million against me? Because I don't take their money, and I never will. I don't work for them. I work for you

New Talarico ad running statewide:
"Ken Paxton says, I don't have his experience, and he's right.
"I've never been indicted for fraud. I've never been reported to the FBI for bribery. I've never been impeached by my own party, and I've never given a sweetheart deal to a pedophile.
"I have a different kind of experience. I've worked with both parties to cap the cost of insulin and pass the largest property tax cut in Texas history. I'm James Tallarico and I approve this message because we need a different kind of experience in Washington."

🚨☣️More details on the Oct 1st pneumonic plague outbreak in Siberia, after a lab accident at a BSL-3 lab.
"FSB units accompanying ambulances transporting people who had been in contact with [lab tech] Shipilova for medical examination," as per local news. This is significant. FSB is Russia's domestic security / counterintelligence service, tasked w/implementing the national security of Russia." (Its predecessor was the KGB). This suggests quarantine was not voluntary.
It also means Russian authorities are treating the lab accident and plague outbreak as a national security issue, involving a lot more than routine public health.

Senator Ruben Gallego just laid out the most powerful plan yet to stop Trump from stealing the 2026 midterms—and it's breathtaking in its simplicity.
If Trump tries to "nationalize the vote" and rig our elections, Gallego says we shut it ALL down. A general strike. Nationwide.
"If you're a pilot, do not show up. If you drive a train, do not show up. If you're a teacher, do not show up. We grind the country to a halt."
And here's the part that should make every billionaire nervous: "If we have to destroy the stock market to save democracy, we need to accept that. The richest and most powerful people in the world need to understand that that is a real possibility. There is no economic stability without democratic stability."
This is what real resistance looks like. Not just protest. Not just hashtags. Total shutdown.
The message to Trump is clear: Try to steal our democracy, and we'll make sure you have nothing left to rule over.
Senator just unveiled the plan to SHUT DOWN THE COUNTRY if Trump rigs 2026:
