in Senate Race
Posted By: Dreadnought, 6/24/2026 12:18:18 AM
Two Texas Senate polls put Republican Ken Paxton ahead of Democrat James Talarico: one has Paxton up by two points, while another finds the race moving from a previous Talarico lead to a narrow Paxton edge. A new YouGov poll of registered voters dated June 12 showed Paxton leading Talarico, 49 percent to 47 percent, in the Texas U.S. Senate race. The same YouGov poll showed Republican Gov. Greg Abbott leading Democrat Hinojosa, 47 percent to 40 percent, in a Texas governor matchup. A separate University of Texas/Texas Politics Project poll showed Talarico moving from an eight-point lead over Sen. John Cornyn in April, 42 percent to 34 percent, to

The massive warehouse fire in the Boyle Heights section of Los Angeles has been burning and spewing toxic chemicals into the air for a week now.
As RedState’s Jennifer Oliver O’Connell reported, Gov. Gavin Newsom was slow to declare a state of emergency, as he and LA Mayor Karen Bass were in Chicago rubbing elbows with the Democrat elites at the Obama Presidential Center opening.
The Mayor seems to have a habit of being out of town when major conflagrations break out. To be fair, she couldn‘t have known that a warehouse would go up in flames — but she was warned about the dangerous conditions that led to the disastrous

The Montreal shooter’s manifesto makes it clear that he was a deranged leftist who was bitter against women, blaming capitalism and “white men” for the problems in his life, and that he was also antisemitic. Hatfield was a philosophy student at the University of Lethbridge, according to Rebel News.
Seth Hatfield from Alberta murdered a police officer, Constable Mohamed Lamine Benredouane, and a local Jewish man, Michael Mizrahi, on Monday in a crazed shooting spree in a Jewish section of Montreal. Police ended up killing Hatfield, too, during the shootout. Hatfield apparently left behind him a long, angry, and rambling manifesto condemning private property and the capitalist system, raging
Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner is facing yet more scrutiny after archived social media posts surfaced containing graphic remarks, controversial political statements, and comments about military veterans.
The posts, recovered from Platner’s former Reddit account and reviewed by multiple outlets, remained accessible through internet archives despite efforts to remove much of his online activity. Among the material drawing attention was a response Platner posted in 2014 to an online discussion asking users to share offensive jokes.
Under the username P-Hustle, Platner responded to a Reddit prompt asking users to share
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Senate backed legislation on Tuesday directing President Donald Trump to halt U.S. military action against Iran, the latest rebuke of the Republican president from an increasingly restive Congress.
The Senate voted 50-48 in favor of the war powers resolution, which passed the House of Representatives early this month, reflecting growing concern even among some of Trump's Republicans about the unpopular conflict that began on February 28. It was the first time both chambers of Congress had passed a resolution directing a president to remove U.S. armed forces from hostilities since the War Powers Resolution

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration Tuesday in an immigration case dealing with the government’s power over green card holders accused of crimes. The 6-3 decision centers on an immigration officer’s 2012 decision to put lawful permanent resident Muk Choi Lau on immigration parole when he returned from a short trip to China because he had been accused of a counterfeiting crime.
Lau argued that overstepped the officer’s authority, and the decision wrongly allowed the Department of Homeland Security to swiftly begin deportation proceedings after he pleaded guilty to selling counterfeit clothes in New Jersey.
WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court on June 23 gave a Michigan family another chance to fight back after their home was sold by the government for about 40% of its value to pay a relatively small tax bill.
The justices sent the case back to the lower courts to consider whether the family can challenge the fairness of the way the government sold their home in foreclosure.
That’s a partial victory for Michael Pung and his family as it keeps their challenge alive. But it does so without setting the larger precedent the family
A federal appeals court on Tuesday ruled in favor of the Trump administration’s efforts to fast-track deportations for undocumented immigrants across the country through an expedited process that’s typically reserved for individuals who recently crossed the southern border.
The Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued a 2-1 ruling, overturning a lower-court decision blocking the efforts last year.
Advocacy group Make the Roads New York sued the Office of the Secretary for the Department of Homeland Security after it expanded the expedited removal policy, making it applicable to all immigrants who could not prove they’ve been residing in the country for more than two years.
Mamdani’s Monsters

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has outdone himself by branding the pro-Israel AIPAC “monsters.”
Mayor Zohran Mamdani doubled down on branding a pro-Israel super PAC as “monsters” — even as Jewish New Yorkers warned the word choice could incite violence.
Hizzoner took aim at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee [AIPAC] last week during a campaign rally with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), saying “these monsters take many forms today.”
There's a pretty good opinion piece in the NY Times today about America's long history of technological doomerism. If you think all of the pessimism about AI and data centers is something new and unique to our time, consider this.

This truly awful few minutes occurred this morning on a downtown street in metropolitan Montreal, Canada.
WARNING: The videos are incredibly GRAPHIC and difficult to watch.
I waited to post this until there was some information on who the gunman was who started firing, and that is just becoming clearer, but unnamed as yet. An officer was hit multiple times and killed. There is also an absolutely sickening moment when an older bystander looks to have been shot at point-blank range when he, instead of taking shelter behind a planter or column, popped up right next to a female cop in the middle of a gun battle.

Major League Baseball Commissioner Robert Manfred responded to Missouri Senator Josh Hawley’s congressional investigation on Friday, doubling down on the MLB’s decisions to bar players from wearing Bible verses on their uniforms while allowing pride-themed uniforms to be worn. Manfred further blamed the San Francisco Giants for “inadequate” communication with its players for the recent controversy.
This comes after Giants starting pitcher Landen Roupp and relief pitchers JT Brubaker and Ryan Walker stood up to the League’s liberal agenda being foisted upon players and fans by writing verses from Genesis on their hats.
Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) announced that he has issued a subpoena forcing Dr. Anthony Fauci to appear publicly before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee next month.

WASHINGTON — Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced Tuesday that the feds have charged hundreds of defendants in recent weeks for seeking to bilk taxpayer-funded programs out of $6.5 billion. “This announcement marks the greatest combined federal and state effort in combating health care fraud in history,” Blanche told reporters at the Department of Justice’s headquarters in DC. “These individuals participated in health care fraud schemes involving over $6.5 billion in false claims submitted to Medicare, Medicaid, and other health care programs.”
Democrats Party Like It’s 1911

By the end of this year, there could be 10 socialist mayors in the U.S. That’s the most since the 1910s, when socialism was the shiny new object embraced by educated elites.
But what excuse do Democrats have today – after 100 years of socialism’s miserable, murderous failures – for embracing this toxic ideology?
Back in 1911, according to one historical count, members of the Socialist Party of America won office in 74 towns and cities, and another 32 in 1913.
Fast forward to today. As NBC News put it, “Democratic socialists are on the rise in Trump-era mayoral races … fueled by a backlash to Trump policies, economic strain
Bill Pulte has begun firing Deep State intel officials just days into his role as Acting DNI.

According to CNN, Pulte met with lawyers last Thursday evening.
Stick a Fork in James Talarico. He's Done.

James Talarico wants Texans to believe he's a man of faith, a true Christian believer that Texans of all stripes can feel comfortable supporting. Unearthed audio suggests otherwise, and it’s a campaign killer, believe me.
Talarico, the Democrat nominee facing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in November's Senate race, has spent months trying to sell Texans on his Christian faith. But his past words have muddied that message. Talarico has previously claimed "God is nonbinary," argued that the bible sanctioned abortion, and described surgically altering the bodies of gender-confused children as an expression of God's love.
A gunman identified as an Antifa member convicted of wounding a police officer during an attack on a Texas immigration detention facility last July 4 was sentenced to 100 years in federal prison on Tuesday.
The successful prosecution of the terrorism-related charges was seen as a victory for the Trump administration and a deterrent for violent extremist groups that could pave the way for future prosecutions.
“It was never intended that anybody get hurt. It was never intended that any shots would be fired.”
Meanwhile, no terrorism-related charges were announced on June 16 by the federal government in connection with a Minneapolis case with alleged Antifa ties.

A federal judge in Minnesota, who has donated to an immigrant legal aid group, quashed several federal grand jury subpoenas of documents from Gov. Tim Walz and the mayors of Minneapolis and St. Paul over compliance with immigration enforcement.
In a 29-page opinion issued Monday, Chief U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz of the District of Minnesota accused the Trump administration’s Justice Department of seeking to “harass political opponents” by initiating a criminal investigation and using grand jury subpoenas to pressure state and local officials into changing their immigration policies.
Eight of the ten Antifa members convicted of terrorism charges for an attack on a Texas ICE detention center were sentenced to at least 50 years in prison on Tuesday. The Antifa ringleader Benjamin Song was sentenced to 100 years in prison.
