@jamestalarico @JohnCornyn @KenPaxtonTX If racism has no place in Texas why will you not condemn and call for an end to the racial discrimination against white male applicants being practiced by the University of Texas? 34.3K views · 2.3K likes · 52 reposts · 34 replies Open on X →

@jamestalarico Not banned. Kimmel pulled it so Texas ABC stations wouldn’t owe Paxton equal time. Then they titled the YouTube dump like it was forbidden and sold the view count as a movement. Fundraising clip, not censorship. You nit wits. 1.4K views · 90 likes · 3 reposts · 13 replies Open on X →

NEW AD: 3 years ago, David Maxwell blew the whistle on Ken Paxton’s corruption and testified in his impeachment trial. Today, David Maxwell is endorsing James Talarico. https://t.co/y1jwThwAI7

Before I was a politician, I was a proud union member. I’m honored to stand with my union brothers and sisters on Labor Day and every day. In the Senate, I’ll fight to raise pay, lower costs, and empower Texas workers. https://t.co/YZHYERdinz

I met a grandmother in Houston. Augusta works 10-hour shifts at the airport, but her wages don’t cover her basic expenses. Now she and her 5-year-old grandson are facing eviction.  In the United States Senate, we’re going to have Augusta’s back. https://t.co/Sysgh2cYHa

This economic system only serves those who can afford to pay politicians for access and control.  This is not capitalism; this is crony capitalism. As Dr. King said: we have socialism for the rich and rugged individualism for the poor. https://t.co/WFeSUr7nuT

I wish our government would go after pedophiles like they go after brown men headed to work at 7 am. I wish they would close billionaire tax loopholes like they close our public schools. I wish they would fund healthcare like they fund forever wars in the Middle East. https://t 367.1K views · 24.2K likes · 5.6K reposts · 4.2K replies Open on X →
Flock cameras have no place in Texas.  They can piece together an exact map of your behavior — the places you went and how long you were there. Flock calls this “pattern-of-life” mapping. Texans call it something else: government overreach. https://t.co/b0xiLUvpgL 194.6K views · 9.5K likes · 1.7K reposts · 683 replies Open on X →
Ken Paxton got a $250,000 donation from the chair of Texas Tech’s Board of Regents. The next day, he threatened to sue the Big 12 to protect Brendan Sorsby, the Tech quarterback who was caught illegally betting on his games.  Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in Texas. 195K views · 13.3K likes · 3.2K reposts · 788 replies Open on X →
@jamestalarico He knows he can't debate you, and sound credible in doing so. He has no defense on who he really is. His own Party tried to impeach and remove him from office, his own staff blew the whistle on him. I just hope R Texas voters are smart enough to realize. 6.6K views · 214 likes · 5 reposts · 6 replies Open on X →
@jamestalarico Republican candidates are pussies They’ll talk tough on Fox, call everyone socialist, communist, woke, whatever, then someone says let’s debate and suddenly they got somewhere else to be. Ken Paxton, Mike Rogers, Mike Collins. Three tough guys. Zero balls 😂 23.1K views · 1K likes · 37 reposts · 29 replies Open on X →

Dolly Parton said, “We’re all pieces of God and we all have that little God light inside of us.” People like Dolly show us how to shine that light. We are all — each of us — an expression of a sacred mystery. In the words of St. Dolly: We are all pieces of God. https://t.co/tC0 65.8K views · 4.5K likes · 693 reposts · 559 replies Open on X →
The media refuses to cover Talarico’s record as a Socialist Democrat, but make no mistake we are going to make sure Texans know who he is. He will be California’s third Senator and we need your help to make sure that doesn’t happen. Go to https://t.co/cq3Qd9H9tX to donate https

@jamestalarico Why did you leave out the part that his criminal father was being deported and took his child with him?? 160.4K views · 31.1K likes · 1.9K reposts · 166 replies Open on X →
@jamestalarico Hi James, Liam Tadeo's father specifically asked to take his son with him when he was deported. You called that “ICE kidnapping” Liam. So I’m genuinely curious: what exactly did you want ICE to do? Ignore his father’s request and forcibly separate a 5-year-old 91.4K views · 12.5K likes · 1.4K reposts · 118 replies Open on X →
@jamestalarico So just so we’re clear…if his family is deported you think the US government should kidnap the child and keep him here? Brilliant. 123.3K views · 17.5K likes · 540 reposts · 111 replies Open on X →
@jamestalarico Here’s what really happened. Both father and son were detained. The father is voluntarily returning to Mexico and has chosen to take his 5-year-old son with him rather than abandon the child to U.S. custody. Liam should be in kindergarten — IN MEXICO. @jamestalar 36.6K views · 3.1K likes · 324 reposts · 89 replies Open on X →

A 5-year-old Texan just spent the first day of school in an ICE detention center. ICE kidnapped Liam Tadeo on his way to a soccer game with his dad. Liam should be in kindergarten. Instead, our government has thrown him in a prison camp hundreds of miles from home. https://t.co 3.1M views · 15.3K likes · 4.3K reposts · 6.8K replies Open on X →
