If you read the latest enrollment summary report from TEA the figures are mind-blowing.
Nearly 1 in 4 kids in Texas public schools statewide are in ESL. Nearly 60% are "Economically Disadvantaged."
Whites make up less than 1 in 4. #txlege

Soros-backed DAs REFUSE to prosecute certain crimes, and Black and Hispanic communities pay the price.
The far left loves to lecture and accuse everyone of racism. Today in Austin, I called out the real racism: policies that leave minority communities to bear the consequences of crime while wealthy liberals live safely behind their gates.

Dawn will almost certainly be one of the leading contenders for next Governor of Texas.

What does the Texas Land Commissioner actually do? A LOT! Dr. Dawn Buckingham joins Let’s Talk Local to talk about the Alamo, public school funding, border security, rare earth minerals, veterans, and more.
You might be surprised by just how much her office does for Texas.

I posted this before we even sourced the linked story that was published today.
The lying legacy media will breathlessly report Cornyn not supporting Paxton, but non-reports Talarico's Jasmine problem and issues within his own base.
@DallasExpress
The DNC and Talarico screwed Sweet Jazzy with that contrived Colbert stunt/lie that just barely pulled him over the line in the primary and D's wonder why she's not playing ball 🤷♂️
At least we're finally talking about Talarico's very real problem with his own base.

Tarrant County GOP Chair @tim_davis will be on The Third Rail with @amuse and @CSalcedoShow this evening discussing the midterm battle for America's largest remaining urban red county.
THE THIRD RAIL: Chris Salcedo and I will be talking about the midterms with SREC Chair Cary Cheshire, closed primaries with former RPT Chair Abraham George, and miracles (we need some) with my son Ethan Muse. If you haven't heard Ethan, here is a taste:

TEXAS SENATE RACE: The prediction market is reacting to an edited clip of Paxton explaining that GOP polling dipped across the board after the Midterm Convention. What it didn't capture was the fact that his polling shows him up 4 points since the convention, leading Talarico by 3 points - the first time he's been ahead since May. The good news is that the prediction market is pointed in the wrong direction, creating a prime opportunity to profit - if that is your thing. #BET

Latest column from @MarkDavis
@DallasExpress
OPINION: Mark Davis examines Sen. John Cornyn’s refusal to rally behind Ken Paxton after losing the Republican primary and what it could mean for Texas Republicans heading into November.
Davis says Cornyn still has time to change course — but questions whether he will.

Loving the new WFAA "no hype" weather guy @DrewDavisWX
Best part is you can watch his reports on YouTube and don't have to suffer through WFAA's far-left, fake news takes.

The radical left, deep blue-state owned New Jersey StarTelegram's BBQ reviewer REALLY hates successful people who aren't okay with Texas being taken over by Islamic extremists.

And it didn't help when @jamestalarico referred to @JasmineForUS surrogate @ColinAllredTX as a "mediocre black man".
Good for Jasmine for not just taking it like Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden did.

How many tickets did this show cost @StateFairOfTX?
I really want to see the car show, shop for hot tubs and eat a couple of Fletcher corn dogs.
Can I have my gun back now?

Said differently - D's have to expand their base to win while R's have to get their voters to the polls (posted about those challenges earlier).
What the midterm convention in Dallas was all about.
In the meantime, Talarico has issues with his own base - specifically Black and Hispanic males who think he's gay and lying about it.
That's an electoral reality the legacy media will NEVER report.
Over the past few days, I created a massive data model for all 254 counties in Texas and wargamed a “pessimistic” scenario for the Senate. I will share what those ingredients are in terms of margin and turnout.
I didn’t set out to make a virtual tie, but that’s what I got. This is a Paxton +0.13 (14,035 margin on 10.251 million votes) map.
As you may be able to tell I took a lot of liberties.
When I explain this map I think a lot of people will see exactly why Talarico needs debates - because getting to a tied map in a Trump +14 Texas is way different than the Trump +9 Cruz had to defend.
Realistically, a Talarico victory ceiling is very small, certainly under 1%, and would require numbers that are unprecedented. Unprecedented things do happen, but anyway. The 5-6 percent polls should result in deportation.
