The rule of law is the rule of law, no matter your party.
That’s why two former Texas Supreme Court justices, both appointed by a Republican governor and elected on the Republican ticket, endorsed me in this race.
I’m honored by the confidence Chief Justice Tom Phillips and Justice Deborah Hankinson have placed in me.

How does democracy function when one person can donate $150 million for 1 Senate race? In a state where one of his companies has major facilities?

Trump has betrayed Ukraine and now essentially operates as an agent of Putin a brutal dictator invading a free sovereign nation.

"What if Trump is pivoting to Putin not to help his party to win but because he really wants Russia to?" @sbg1 wonders. newyorker.com/news/letter-fr…

It’s bad enough when they tell immigrants to show ‘gratitude’ but now they’re telling a man born in America he should show ‘gratitude’ - what, because he’s a Muslim?
Also, it wasn’t El-Sayed who wrote a book complaining about his community and upbringing, it was Vance.

Men at a Trump rally, punching a woman, beating up a woman. Trumpism, in a nutshell.👇

A Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv. Once again, no early warning from our partners. The main target was energy infrastructure, specifically CHPP-4. Unfortunately, it was hit. A residential building was also damaged, and rescuers are currently putting out a fire there. Our systems detected these missiles only when they were already virtually on approach to Kyiv. CHPP-4 is one of Kyiv’s key energy facilities.
According to our intelligence, the Russians are preparing further ballistic missile launches. The facts show that the Russians do not consider themselves bound by what the President of the United States said. Ukraine supported an energy ceasefire. Russia is targeting yet another power plant and the lives of our people.
And this is absolutely unjust: when they are destroying our energy infrastructure, and Ukraine is not even receiving early warnings about ballistic missile launches. It is important that the world does not stay silent about this. And it is important that the United States really see what is happening and who is responsible for this war continuing.
Please stay safe tonight and tomorrow. We are working to replenish our air defenses with anti-ballistic missiles.

“Zelenskyy could’ve stopped this war many times, and he chose not to … he better damn well stop” — Trump is no longer trying to conceal that he’s fully on Putin’s side

Russian strikes killed over 80 Ukrainian civilians in two days. Moreover, it has stepped up its hybrid attacks against Europe, both EU Member States and NATO Allies.
Suspending sanctions on Russian diesel provides Moscow with more revenues to wage war.
This is not the time to ease pressure on Russia, and Europe won’t.
On Monday, EU Foreign Ministers intend to approve the biggest set of sanctions listings targeting Russia’s war machine since the start of the war.

TEXAS — @jamestalarico: “Why do we have a trillionaire when veterans are sleeping on the streets? The reason poverty exists is not because we can’t feed the poor, it’s because we can’t satisfy the rich.” (From @TeamTalaricoHQ)
