@LarrySabato Talarico the guy who moved into his mom’s basement because his state house seat was changed in Wilco back in 2022? Go dump your $200 million into Texas and watch it go up in flames as it did with the fake Mexican Beto.

Trump endorses Ken Paxton! Must have seen late polling showing Paxton will beat John Cornyn. SO:
(1) Great News for Talarico (D); (2) Bad News for GOP money reserves; (3) If ever there’s a year when a D can win statewide in TX, it’s 2026.

@EWErickson This is the same clap trap we heard when the Democrats dumped $80 million into Texas to try and defeat @SenTedCruz while he spent $44 million. They did the same thing in SC dumping $132 million in a fruitless effort to defeat Lindsey Graham. He still won by 10 pts.
English
This is exactly the issue. Every dollar the GOP has to spend to help Paxton is a dollar not deployed in Georgia, Maine, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, etc.

Paxton could face a generational fundraising gap if he's the nominee. Total fundraising so far: Talarico: $40 million Paxton: $7.6 million Beto only outraised Cruz by a little less than 2-1 in 2018. Unless Paxton turns on the jets, he's going to need significant outside help.

@zerohedge This is what the grass roots thinks of Cornyn. He “sponsored” the lanyards at the TX republican convention a few years ago and the delegates trashed them & replaced them with their own.

@robbysoave @mirandadevine Thugs being thugs and all wearing hoodies when it’s 90 degrees in DC. Lucky none of them pulled a gun they were probably carrying

If you don't live in Navy Yard you can't imagine how bad things have gotten. I wouldn't have believed it without witnessing it. But it's now semi-common to see hordes of marauding teenagers fighting each other. A sad fate for a formerly nice neighborhood.

@mrddmia Thugs being thugs. Teenagers wearing masks and hoodies in DC on a day where it was pushing 90 degrees. I suspect we are lucky they did not start shooting each other and anyone else just standing around. But odds are several of them were carrying guns.

Lock up their mothers.
And their fathers.
(If they can find them.
And they’re not already locked up.)

@ClayTravis When all the oil that is now sitting in storage facilities and recalled (previously mothballed) tankers starts hitting the markets in a few weeks, crude oil prices will be in the $50s. Mark this post.

All time record low crime, record high stock market, low unemployment, if gas prices return to normal by the midterms, which I believe they will, what will Democrats run on in 2026? Will it be Trump is Hitler again? If so, does anyone believe that will work? Dems have no message.

🚨 RINOS BETRAY SOUTH CAROLINA AND HAND DEMOCRATS A WIN: In a shocking 29-17 vote, Senate Republicans just blocked 2026 redistricting efforts.
Effectively killing any immediate chance at a full 7R-0D map.
The five RINOs who voted NO are now on notice:
- Sean Bennett
- Chip Campsen
- Tom Davis
- Greg Hembree
AND
Senate Majority Leader @shanemassey: "We are the most gerrymandered Republican state in the country already."
They clearly didn’t learn from what just happened in Indiana.

Ok, so the AG of Virginia, Jay Jones, has filed an emergency appeal to the United States Supreme Court asking them to overrule the Virginia State Supreme Courts ruling, and while he may have sent it through spellcheck this time, he failed to change templates..because this one is still going to the Supreme Court of Virginia. The incompetence is mind blowing. 😆😆😆

This is absolutely insane:
President Trump's purchase of 10% of Intel, $INTC, was worth $8.9 billion in August 2025.
Today, Apple announced a deal with Intel and this position is worth $56.5 billion.
That's a gain of +$47.6 BILLION in less than 8 months.
Truly unprecedented.

@BauerOutage Thanks for sticking around and signing stuff for the kids. My son said it was one of the best days of his life. We are going to frame his the Bauer Ducks jersey you signed for him.

Thank you to the thousands of BauerOutage fans who packed Hagerstown stadium tonight. We set an all time attendance record! Also, yelling “can I help you” after the home players strike out looking is diabolical. Y’all are the best! Hope you enjoyed the night!

@NickMinock How much did he pay an outside law firm to come up with this statement?
English
NEW: Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones said in a statement:
"Today the Supreme Court of Virginia has chosen to put politics over the rule of law by issuing a ruling that overturns the April 21st special election on redistricting. This decision silences the voices of the millions of Virginians who cast their ballots in every corner of the Commonwealth, and it fuels the growing fears across our nation about the state of our democracy.
As Attorney General, it is my job to enforce the laws on the books and defend the will of the people. Before the Court, my office clearly laid out both in filings and oral arguments that this constitutional amendment process and voter ratification occurred in a timely, constitutionally-compliant, and legally sound manner.”
Nick Minock@NickMinock
🚨The Virginia Supreme Court ruled against Democrats’ redistricting effort and it appears Democrats 10-1 gerrymandered map is dead. “According to the majority, the General Assembly violated the intervening-election requirement in Article XII, Section 1 of the Virginia Constitution by passing a proposed constitutional amendment for the first time after early voters had begun casting their ballots during the 2025 general election. Although Article IV, Section 3 mandates that delegates shall be elected on the Tuesday succeeding the first Monday in November, the majority takes the position that there is a material variation between "shall be elected" and the "general election" described in Article XII Section 1. It reasons that, unlike the single day on which a delegate is elected, a general election is not a fixed day. Instead, they conclude that an election is a cumulative process, encompassing the combined actions of voters casting ballots and officers receiving those votes, that begins on the first day of early voting and ends on Election Day. By focusing on the legislative history, dictionary definitions, and how legal scholars might interpret the term "election," the majority fails to apply the most basic tenet of interpretation of constitutional provisions: looking to the language of the constitution itself.”

@ScottPresler @CateTX Virginia still has 3 Supreme Court justices who clearly cannot read. But kudos to the 4 who did the right thing and did not cave to politics.
English
HOLY COW
HOLY COW
OH MY GOSH!
In a 4-3 decision, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled that the legislature violated procedural rules to put the redistricting referendum on the ballot.
The election results are thrown out!
This is a political earthquake!
Victory.

@AgentRachelLuba @BauerOutage I drove nearly 2 hours each way last night so my son could see him pitch. He’s 12 and started watching his you tube channel to get some pitching ideas. Of course there’s lots of silly entertainment in his videos too, but also lots of good pitching and pitching mental insight.
English
Man, the love and support for @BauerOutage by all the fans since returning to the US has been pretty special.
Quite the opposite of the “PR nightmare” we were told it would be. Instead, he’s drawing record crowds at both home and away games, with people traveling from all over just to see him pitch again.

In the Major Leagues...
15 pitchers have an ERA over 20.00.
50 pitchers have an ERA over 10.00.
90 pitchers have an ERA over 7.50.
201 pitchers have an ERA over 5.00.
Meanwhile, @BauerOutage continues to dominate everywhere he pitches.
FACT: He would improve all 30 teams.

RIP Racer.
How you survived that accident in Germany after Alex Tagliani t-boned your car was an act of God. And you’ll be forever remembered in racing circles for the “pass”down the corkscrew at Leguna Seca.
