James Talarico: We sent a crystal-clear message to the world's first trillionaire: Texas is not for sale. In this state, in this country, power belongs to the people. Now that we have a win the size of Texas, we have a mandate the size of Texas.

"Talarico has repeatedly criticized the influence of wealthy donors in American politics and said Wednesday that his victory gives him a mandate to pursue campaign finance reform.

"Texas is not for sale," Talarico said.

"The power in this state, in this country, belongs to the people. And we got to make sure it stays that way. It's why this is a mandate to clean up government, to overhaul our campaign finance system, to get this big money out of our politics."

During his campaign, Talarico also pledged to serve no more than two six-year terms in the U.S. Senate.

He has called for congressional term limits, an issue that would require significant changes to federal law, including a constitutional amendment to impose mandatory limits on members of Congress."

"Bernie Sanders: Winning the Midterms Is Not Enough. Here's What We Must Do

"The American people understand that the economy today is rigged and that we cannot continue the same old, same old' establishment politics and establishment policies.

On Tuesday, Trump told us to vote as if he were on the ballot. And that is exactly what the American people did.

Together, we stood up to authoritarianism and a president who does not believe in the Constitution or the rule of law. And we won."

"In the richest country on Earth, the American people want a government that stands for working families, not billionaire campaign contributors. And that is not just Bernie Sanders talking.

According to a recent AP poll, 80% of registered voters want either "complete and total upheaval" or "substantial change" in how this country is run. And that includes 97% of Democrats, 90% of independents, and 58% of Republicans.

In other words, the American people understand that the economy today is rigged and that we cannot continue the same old, same old' establishment politics and establishment policies.

The American people want change. Real change. And the midterm election confirms just that."

Speaking from experience, it is frightening to be opposing a powerful force alone and with few resources, but now, we have Congress, and will have it for two years. We are not alone, we who are old, like me, and worry about Social Security, or we who are young, say 37, with a hopefully long career representing the people in politics.
And those who are female and have watched their political power be ignored...that stops here and now.
To stay out of jail, would Trump start a shooting war with China?

I AM IN NO FORM OR FASHION SAYING LOW-T / DEMS STOLE THIS ELECTION SO GET THAT OUT OF YOUR DEMENTED EMPTY HEAD...

..but I find this " funny" ..

..TALARICO CELEBRATES GETTING LBJ SEAT WITH LBJs DAUGHTER. .. LBJ STOLE THAT SEAT...and even what's her name here from Texas...corky... can't dispute THIS FACT.. ignore it / defend it yes BUT CANT DENY IT...

"LBJ stole that Senate seat with the Box 13 election of 1948. 201 votes that were found in Box 13 in Alice, TX. 200 of those votes were cast for LBJ and one for Coke Stevenson. All signed with the same ink and the same handwriting. When Coke traveled down to Alice to inspect that ballot box with a Texas Ranger, Frank Hamer (portrayed by Kevin Costner in the movie "The Highway Men") were refused allowed inspection of the ballot box by a judge (who was an LBJ appointed judge). LBJ's campaign manager who orchestrated al that was non other than John Connally!"

In audio footage obtained by reporters Rhein Amacher and Nick Sortor, a Lindner Center of Hope employee was heard confirming that Talarico had been discharged from the mental facility.
"During my recorded call, an individual identifying themselves as a female facility employee reportedly stated that Talarico was no longer a patient and had been discharged within the previous 24"48 hours," said Amacher on X.
"He was just discharged this evening," the Lindner Center of Hope employee was heard saying on the call.
