Three men — Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos — now own more wealth than 165 million Americans combined.

They own the media.
They own the algorithms.
They own politicians in both parties.

The system is rigged — but We the People can take it back.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett announces her campaign for U.S. Senate for Texas with an ad that uses Trump’s own words against her.

James Talarico raised over $30 million in the second quarter of 2026, according to his campaign — more than triple Ken Paxton's sum.

Talarico's haul is a record for a U.S. Senate candidate in Q2 of an election year and is nearly three times what Beto O'Rourke raised in the same period in 2018.

Talarico: One thing is clear today, we’re about to take back Texas.

We’re done being divided. We’re done being played. We’re done being pitted against each other. That old politics is dying, and a new politics is being born — through all of us.

“A perfect storm is lining up for Texas Democrats,” @mmckinnon.bsky.social tells @adamwren.bsky.social. “They have a nominee who can appeal to moderates and soft Republicans. Talarico could be Moses who leads the Lone Star Democrats out of the desert they’ve been in for 35 years.”
Talarico won his primary. What happens next is outside his control.
James Talarico prevailed in a hard-fought Democratic contest. Now he waits to see if he'll face scandal-plagued Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton — or four-term Sen. John Cornyn.

Ken Paxton has spent his career trying to dismantle the Affordable Care Act.

If elected, he'll keep making healthcare more expensive for Texans. #TXSen

Here's the top 15 candidate war chests. Pretty stark division.
Ranked table of the top 15 individual midterm campaign war chests by cash on hand as of June, where all top 10 belong to Democrats — led by Jon Ossoff's $43M — and Republicans don't appear until 11th place with about $11M.

Unless they find a box with 700,000 Cornyn ballots in Jim Wells County, I think Ken Paxton is the TXSen GOP nominee.

The GOP primary for #TXsen is going to a runoff, per the AP. With 60% of the estimated vote counted in #TXsen (R), it's Cornyn 43%, Paxton 41%, Hunt 13%. Cornyn really outperformed his polls, and the May 26 runoff now looks genuinely competitive.
