Texas Progressives await primary election results and possible runoffs even as this leftist corner reminds you there are more than two political parties in Texas.
Off the Kuff looks at the most recent pre-primary poll of the Democratic race for US Senate.
SocraticGadfly asked rhetorically what HAVE Texas Republicans accomplished in the past 25 years?
Black on Black, old vs. young? The Observer dives into the 18th Congressional District primary between incumbent Al Green and Christian Menafee. Note to the Observer? I had no idea that Trump's 2025 pseudo-State of the Union happened in 2024.
Tying in with my piece Monday and his endorsements, the Observer, in "More Money than Greg," notes Abbott's massive war chest:
[I]s at this point a political clearinghouse combined with an investment firm. His campaign regularly invests donors’ contributions into U.S. Treasury notes and CDs from banks. (Yes, this is, per the state’s campaign finance laws, legal, so long as the funds are not converted for personal use.) In 2026, Abbott raised about $42 million and purchased more than $30 million in investments—mostly in T-bills. He also earned a return of over $40 million, campaign finance records show. Not bad for a public servant.
Is far far bigger than Dan Patrick's or anybody else's. The rest of the story is about the massive lack of political ethics rules and enforcement.
