How popular is Ted Cruz? He’s in Alaska campaigning for their US Senate race but knows that he will only inspire more votes for Talarico if he shows up in Texas. I don’t have to be a witch to know how loathed Cruz is in Texas.

Ossoff: "Mike, you want to raise the Epstein files? You voted to cover up the Epstein files. When we took those votes, we knew that 14 & 15 year old girls had been raped & trafficked by Epstein and his accomplices. He wouldn't vote to release those files until Donald Trump gave him permission."
