America just lost 92,000 jobs as gas prices rise because of Trump’s war in Iran. He promised lower costs and no new wars β€” but Americans are losing jobs and footing the bill for his illegal war instead.

Americans are dead. Prices are skyrocketing. The Middle East is on fire. Civil war is brewing in Iran.

And for what? A war that will leave the same hardliners in charge? A war that can't actually destroy their nuclear program?

This is incompetence. Plain and simple.

Senate rejects bid to scale back Iran war A similar measure is also expected to fail in the House, giving the president near carte blanche to proceed with the conflict.

Over 2.3 million turned out to vote in the Democratic Primary, and nearly 1.1 million voted for her. That is the largest Democratic turnout in decades and more than the Republicans this year. I'm proud of her and the campaign she ran.

No. Her seat was redrawn, but not eliminated. A Fort Worth-based seat held by Black Caucus member Marc Vesey was eliminated.

Jasmine Crockett has been and will continue to be a strong and important voice in our party. She was in my freshman class and became an immediate leader. Her work on behalf of the American people and Texas is just getting stated.

Texas has now exhausted the early vote and is now releasing Election Day votes. The confusion in Dallas County was caused by Republican incompetence and mid-decade redistricting. #TXsen

Jasmine is closing the gap but most of this is early vote, and not Election Day vote. Cornyn and Paxton are going to runoff for the Republican nomination. #TXsen.

The Texas Supreme Court has put some shit in the game and interfered in Dallas County. Both campaigns are trying to respond. Talarico maintains his lead, but the lion's share of Jasmine's base remains unreported. #TXsen
