I know not to read too much into crowd sizes. That said, seems notable that there are less than two dozen people at a get-out-the-vote rally featuring Dan Patrick, Mayes Middleton and Tim O'Hare rally in the epicenter of the Texas Religious Right:
Mansfield/Arlington @tarrantgop Get Out the Vote Rally: “Stand Together. Stand Strong. Keep Tarrant Red.”
Bots triggered.

Breaking: Donald Trump was "an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of young women in the mid-to-late 1990s,” according to a report issued today by Dems on the House Judiciary Committee.

A one-stoplight TX town got in bed with ICE for $$ and started pulling over every other car and detaining Hispanics. 10% of the town is gone now, and businesses are struggling. The town cop has to look over his shoulder in public now.

In 2020, Tommy Tuberville promised to donate “every dime” of his $174,000 Senate salary to Alabama veterans and their families. A June investigation found no evidence he followed through, a pledge now worth roughly $1 million.
Tuesday night, after a reporter asked about it, Tuberville told staff to remove him. Then he called the media “socialists” and “communists.”
The MAGA senator had a reporter thrown out of a campaign dinner after being confronted with an embarrassing question.

I don’t put my name behind just anyone. 🇺🇸
I sat down with James Talarico and heard balanced, honest answers on security, the economy, and issues facing Texas families.
That’s why I support @jamestalarico for U.S. Senate.
Election Day is Nov. 3. Make your plan to vote. 🗳️
