James Talarico wins Texas Senate in major midterm upset
What an incredible photo by Jabin Botsford for the WSJ. PURE JOY. 😁 “Supporters of Democratic Senate winner James Talarico celebrating the Nov. 3 election returns in Austin, Texas.”
That's a perfect portrait of Democracy all over the world last week!
Those are the faces of HOPE !! I love it! 💙🇺🇸💙
I want to feel that. 😭
Hallo Amerikanische Friends, when do you think 🤔 it will be safe for German tourists to return to America and also visit the Democratic Free State of Texas? 🇺🇸😊
Jabin Botsford is one of this era's best photojournalists covering US politics.
There’s a difference. If this was 2024 at a MAGA watch party, the guy’s hand would be over her mouth.
I was at a private watch party with the judicial candidate, so I won’t show pictures, but I can confirm this was the vibe
this photo cost Elon Musk $500 million
Says it all for me. Says it all for anyone under satan’s umbrella. Says to you- ⏰ tic tock.

Talarico's perfectly combines very liberal policies/positions, and the affect of a rising Southern Baptist pastor. It really is an amazing package politically.
this man is going to be president one day.
Senator Roy Cooper. still not used to typing that and I love it
Based on her hand gesture, I assume they were talking about Trump?… 🤷🏼♂️
They appear to be genuinely nice human beings. What a chance from the cruelty we’ve had to endure these past 10 years of MAGA reign.
Does those in the House and the Senate who have lost their seats receive re-orientation for spending more time with their former constituents?
They’re all so genuinely giddy. I love this!
LOOK AT THE BLUE STATE SENATORS FROM TEXAS and NORTH CAROLINA
why is he always doing that with his hands
It's a great day at the Capitol! Real leadership has entered the building 💙
Senators-elect Annie Andrews from SC, James Talarico from TX, and Troy Jackson from ME are in the Capitol. (I cannot get enough of these photos!)
Peggy Flanagan Abdul El-Sayed Juliana Stratton James Talarico Troy Jackson Annie Andrews Sherrod Brown Roy Cooper Chris Pappas Josh Turek Democrats not only won the majority—voters elected populist economic fighters to the Senate. Let’s get to work. 💪
New leadership is needed too
This is why you should be our Majority Leader. You have the experience, the ideas, and the fight.
This is all wonderful. Again I must point out most replies to your posts are asking about your position on senate leadership. If you put your hat in that'd be great. Schumer is not the leader we need. Who do you support for Senate Majority Leader?
I'm expecting populist economic legislation, beginning 1/27 (putting that orange idiot in the position of needing to veto it, if he's unwilling to sign)
James Talarico voters when a trans person expresses the slightest concern for their safety:
"Now it's no the time for purity tests, we can push them left after the midterms" After the midterms:"eat shit and die trannie"
yea, my bsky timeline have been like this for months winning just make libs gloat harder
I blocked them but maybe you all can still see it. Absolutely crazy exchange if you follow the threads.
“Incoming Democratic senators James Talarico (Texas), Annie Andrews (S.C.), & Josh Turek (Iowa) each backed a public option for Americans to buy insurance from the government. They, among others, have also pledged to work toward preventing corporations from monopolizing parts of the health sector”
As an adjunct in CCSU system, I buy into the state plan during semester, but then have to switch back to COBRA in summer. It doesn't solve affordability problem - we pay $3158/month 4 2 ppl. But it's better insurance than we had on the marketplace (same price w/$7K ind. deductible & higher copays)
Short of a true Medicare for all program, this is our best bet. What we really need is a Medicaid for all program.
