All this is encouraging for Democrats but let’s hope the magas don’t sabotage the election itself. They seem to be willing to do ANYTHING to avoid losing.

Love the James Talarico quote: “A little bit of hope is a dangerous thing”. The Blue Wave is coming!

Republicans have much more money to spend; the billionaires and corporations that make up the military-industrial complex have made sure of that! I'm completely mystified as to why the rich want this fascist front to win; the first thing they'll do if they succeed in making this an authoritarian govt. is to renege on all promises and throw their "friends" under the bus!

They're rich, that doesn't make them smart.

It amazes me that the top law enforcement official in Texas is also one of it's most corrupt inhabitants.

Nah, I lived there most of my life. Totally normal.

Darn, Ken Paxton is one of the worst of a very bad lot. But it's a big plus that "Republicans are going to dump God knows how much more money into knifing each other." And this after the secretary of state’s office failed to provide accurate information on the voting locations & voters had trouble locating their location! Texas’ Republican attorney general sued to oppose extended voting hours for those confused voters. And the GOP-controlled state Supreme Court quickly ruled in its favor per Democracy Docket. Cheering on Mary Peltola, Sherrod Brown, Roy Cooper, & Graham Platner & Janet Mills.

That the GOP still has support beyond the 20% of the voters who are basically Klan members, is astounding. It's nice to see them flailing, but that the Dems don't have a complete sweep of the house and senate locked up is still an amazing indictment of the political system in the US. It's exceptionally depressing that the GOP voters wouldn't even have minded the fact that Trump launched a war without even bothering to consult with congress if gas prices hadn't gone up.

$90 Milllion? The cost of about 6 interceptor missiles then. Why do all these guys look like they shop at the same drug store as Trump for facial foundation? Must be some kind of secret signal for a certain class of people.

Orange is the new white.

After all the gerrymandering and dollars spent it would be the best feeling to have Texas vote a democrat in the Senate. A real coup!

Any “real” conservatives left should be a lock for Democratic candidates. There is literally no conservative thinking or policies left in the current Republican Party (Despite what many GOP candidates will say).

No matter how bad the maggats get, no matter how far they go in their (now) blatant cheating and intimidation-none of it matters if we cannot have a fair election. The chances of that seem to be going over the horizon more quickly than ever.

Can't wait to see who decides to follow trump's idea of a regime change, right here in the USA.

It scares me even to speculate. But then, so much speculation in the last ten years has become stone cold reality, it should terrify us all.

Imagine being a maggat and being too stupid to even feel the fear that we rightly should be feeling now. Too stupid to see trump's goons carting off your family and all that you think you own. Too damn stupid to realize that you, the maggats, are the Nazis of the next 100 years. That you will be reviled and hated for eternity. You and yours.
