Texas Gov Greg Abbott Panicking over James Talarico

Tuesday, April 28, 2026

"James Talarico didn't just break records in Texas with Q1 haul, he outraised EVERY Senate campaign across the country," Abbott said in a campaign news release Monday. "Make no mistake: the $40 MILLION and 540,000 DONORS Talarico has amassed will be unleashed to get Democrats to the polls in every corner of Texas. The Democrats are not sitting this one out. They are targeting our candidates with a level of resources this state has never seen."

James Talarico: John Cornyn said my plan to lower taxes for working Americans would 'explode the deficit.' My question to Senator Cornyn is, were you worried about the deficit when you gave $1 trillion in tax cuts to the top 1 percent?

State Rep. James Talarico (D-Austin) is running for US Senate, hoping to flip the seat blue for the first time since 1993.

Incumbent Republican US Sen. John Cornyn is being challenged by Attorney General Ken Paxton in a May 26 runoff. Both are good-for-nothing dinosaurs.

Talarico outraised both of them: nearly triple what Cornyn raised and more than 12 times what Paxton raised and more than any other candidate for US Senate in the first quarter, a record $27 million.

I wonder if Abbtt has an intern assigned to wipe sweat from his body when he's worried?

Republicans want us outsiders to be able to interfere in Texas elections.

So we should all give Talarico a few bucks.

Why not simply auction off the offices?

*** Texas Republicans in Utter Disarray Against Genuine Christian ***

Young master James Talarico (D) leads both good-for-nothing Republican Senate candidates in the polls.

The young Democrat has a three point lead over dinosaur Sen. John Cornyn (44% to 41%) and a five point lead over Islamophobe Attorney General Ken Paxton (46% to 41%).

And these two brontosaurus are duking it out nastily in their primary race.

If those two Republicans can yell "Hamas!" or "Sharia law is coming!" loud enough, AIPAC will throw some shekels into their pishkas.

No PACs is a formidable idea.... it's proving we don't NEED Corporate money in the People's politics.
