Ken Paxton’s former top cop on why he’s voting for James Talarico:
I spent 2 hours with James Talarico. Number one, I saw no deception. He answered all my difficult questions. He didn’t dodge anything.
I think he’s the man who needs to go to Washington DC, and Ken Paxton needs to go home.

NEW: Texas law requires an investigation when someone dies in jail custody.
Sheriff's deputies pressed the thumbprint of a man who was brain dead on a release form to then claim he was no longer in custody. They said—this means you don't need an investigation.
Make time for this new reporting.

Dallas Morning News p. 1 today: “Harris County has added another 400,000 registered voters over the past six years. If turnout climbs a few percentage points above 2018 levels and Talarico captures closer to 60% of the vote, compared with Beto’s 56%, he could gain nearly 100,000 additional votes.”

Quick note: Ann Richards is quite famously the last Democratic governor, but was not the last Democratic statewide official. That was Dan Morales, who was the scandal-scarred AG who opted not to run again in 1998.
1998 was the statewide race wipeout for the Dems. The TXLege went a little later.

In final push for U.S. Senate in Texas, Ken Paxton campaigns with Donald Trump, free beer and a plea: "Pray for me." My latest with J. David Goodman for @nytimes.com.

You know how we teach kids to be safe, respectful, and responsible? Then add kindness, humility, integrity, etc? Abbott exhibits none of those things. I'm so ready to have a leader in TX, who exemplifies all those traits of being a good person, like Gina Hinojosa. #txlege @ginafortexas.bsky.social
