“I don’t care about the midterms, look what happened last night,” Trump said, an apparent reference to the triumph of Ken Paxton, whom he had endorsed, over the sitting Republican senator John Cornyn in the Texas Republican Senate primary.
I mean, he probably should care a bit. Internal GOP estimates suggest they think it’s going to cost them $250mil now just to hold one seat in Texas, which really shouldn’t be necessary spending, given Texas voter’s 40-year record of buffoonery. And it’s all because Trump had to be a petty little bitch and endorse a criminal AG for Senate, because he thinks Cornyn isn’t “MAGA enough” despite voting Trump’s way 99.2% of the time. A record which makes him more loyal than Ted Cruz, by the way.
Stephen Miller made an anti-trans post about James Talarico. The DNC response hit its mark
The White House deputy chief of staff falsely claimed the Senate candidate was transgender after the DNC promoted him online. The Democratic Party responded with a biting retort.
Talarico, who won a Democratic primary for Senate in March, is cisgender and heterosexual. He has drawn attention for his outspoken allyship and advocacy for LGBTQ+ equality, something Republicans have pounced on as the Democrat poses the first serious threat in years to flip Texas blue.
The DNC, from its official account, posted a blunt reply to Miller, writing, “shut up you ugly fuck.”
I suppose that it’s going to be a culture-war-based campaign, and probably not a very polite one.

The single primary he’s bragging about cost 120 million and just pissed off a shit ton of Texas Republicans too.
So it’s going to cost Republicans a shit ton of money later, but it’s already wasted a lot of their money too
Hopefully those pissed off Republicans stay home during the midterms. I think Talarico has a decent chance at winning.
