Sen. Ted Cruz warns that James Talarico may beat Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate Race.

“He has a chance... this is a one or two-point race,” Cruz said during a recent appearance on the Sean Hannity Show.

A presidency isn't measured by declarations. It's measured by whether reality follows. Why Trump's words matter just as much as his policies—and why credibility is one of America's greatest strategic assets.

Reality Keeps Interrupting Donald Trump
Turns out "I alone can fix it" was not enough to actually fix it.

Trump weakened his hand literally everywhere
I generally agree with Krugman here, but not on this point: “Not only did Trump’s war of choice fail in all its objectives, it revealed that U.S. military power is far more limited than almost anyone realized.”

Who’s afraid of the big bad Trump?

"Trump believes the country, and all its people, and all its money, and all its law enforcement, exist to make sure he wins all his online arguments and never has to say he’s sorry. We are living under the dictatorship of the absolutely smallest man alive. That makes all of us smaller as well."
Trump vs. algae is the feud we deserve
Congrats, America.

I agree with Trump that NATO countries need to share the burden of our common security interests. In Ukraine, the US is not sharing this burden.

Sigh. I’ll be a hater and say it:

In actual reality, your taxes paid for an illegal crew of naive tech boys, led by a billionaire, and backed by a Corrupt Court, to destroy your gov’t services, hospitals, housing, education, and cancer cures, taking them away from your American family members.

A foreign monarchy handed the President a $400 MILLION jet.
Wednesday, it becomes Air Force One.
Friday, it leads the July 4th flyover for America's 250th birthday.
A gift from Qatar. Flying the President. On Independence Day.
Let that one sink in, friend.

Do share this with your Texas peeps.

Not that they'll care, if they vote Republican, but at least force them to consciously ignore it.

If Democrats like it, too, it must be bad.

And whether it helps most Americans is entirely irrelevant to him.
A beautiful demonstration of Trump's deliberative process.

“When did Fox become a tabloid? Are you even a real news organization?”

Amazing
Watch Thomas Massie turn the tables and completely own Fox News Digital reporter Nicholas Ballasy. Just incredible.

Talarico: Ken Paxton was born in North Dakota, raised in California, and has a place in Hawaii.

What makes a Texan is not in the boots or in the truck, it's deep in the heart. These billionaires and their puppets have the wrong state of mind. Their hearts and their dreams are just not big enough.

What is Trump going to do for the people of Venezuela? They should expect some help from the man who attacked their country because it made him feel ”powerful.”
