Texas, 3/3
3. Talarico won because of his superior ground game, focused on listening to voters and harping on pocketbook and affordability issues. Crockett’s campaign was largely a mass media effort with primarily an anti-Trump focus.
Texas, 2/3
2. Since then, the Democrats quickly united behind one Senate candidate, with Crockett immediately endorsing Talarico. Republicans face a bitter runoff ahead with recriminations and infighting already underway.
A few observations on the Texas primary results from last week:
1. In a deep red state, Democrats out-polled Republicans in both statewide races (Senate, Governor).

I vow to never forget, I hope you don’t either. Every victim deserves justice.
A glorious ski day in the PNW.

Good idea, not least because the tax incentives ARE NOT needed. They’re clearly profitable without and only serve to make rich people richer.
You'll like this series, then. All 6 books (7th coming soon) take on tough social issues.
New 5-star review for The Injustice of Valor:
“Tense, timely, and deeply unsettling, this novel grips from the first page…Smart, compassionate crime fiction that doesn’t shy away from hard truths and all the stronger for it.” #Booksky

New 5-star review:
“A fierce, emotionally charged crime novel that hits hard and stays with you…Tense, personal, and unflinching...a powerful MeToo era thriller about justice, resilience, and the danger of being the only one who refuses to look away.”

Didn’t Fetterman vote to confirm her?
This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.
These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.
Wrong. I want this. Every year.
That’s like saying, I knew I’d strike out, so why bother swinging the bat?
They can hold oversight and investigative hearings, cut or rescind funding and authority to act, impeach, hold up and deny appointments, take out ads, sue, publicize… There are LOTS of things.

If I never hear the Miami band play that stupid Darth Vader death march again, it will be too soon.
Two people you should never trust; A religious leader who tells you how to vote, and a polition who tells you how to pray.
A whole lot of players with ACL and Achilles injuries from this weekend beg to differ.
CJ Stroud is completely befuddled at this point.
Secret is out now…Seahawks have a better o-line than Philly. Shh!
For a team that was so dead-set on banning the Tush Push, Buffalo sure runs it a lot.
17-13 Pats, a defensive battle to the wire. Maye gets 60 yards rushing when Houston overcommits to man coverage.
Were their fee-fees hurt? Gosh, this is so bad. Way worse, say, than being shot in the face.
Blaming and smearing the victim. They learned it from their history as rapists and rape apologists.
…who hasn’t played like a Hall of Gamer in 5+ years…
Typical. Narcissist Aaron fawned upon by feckless admirers of who he was 10 years ago. None of them would have it any other way.
OTOH, you could make a case that Rodgers WAS the story. Not in a good way. He played like crap.
