“Ken Paxton is counting on you being too busy. Greg Abbott is counting on you being too tired. Dan Patrick is counting on you thinking your vote doesn’t matter in Texas. Prove all three of them wrong. Get your ass to the polls.”

Speaking of early voting, that will be the focus of this No Kings protest happening this Saturday... including a number of events in Texas. I hope this will motivate Texans including non-voters that didn't show up in 2022 to the polls this year once early voting begins this Monday. www.nokings.org

Again: don’t get complacent. Polls look great, but polls don’t vote. Ignore this shit and vote like we’re down by 3%

El-Sayed: "He's personally invested in a company that controls the real estate for the Saline data center. I should ask him: If he wants a moratorium, should the construction stop on his personal investment? Because I'd love it to. We need government that is not bought off."

I’m not writing today because the election is 28 days away, and I have 22 articles to go before I hit my 1,000th, and I’m trying to hit that number the same day Texas turns blue. Wouldn’t that be magical?
