Huge victory.
They told Taylor Rehmet this seat was unwinnable.
They told us not to waste resources.
Now the GOP lost a Texas State Senate race that hadn’t gone blue since the 90s.
This is what early support + candidates with lived experience looks like.
Run. Everywhere.

Hard to overstate how big a deal a Rehmet win would be. Tarrant County is the epicenter of Christian nationalism in Texas, an incubator for far-right policies, and nexus of billionaire Tim Dunn's network, which is riding hard for Wambsganss. Rehmet almost entirely funded by donations of $100 or less
‼️‼️ Still a lot TBD, but Rehmet is leading early vote count by **13 POINTS** in a district that Trump won by 17 points. I'll be updating in this thread throughout the night.
ICYMI: This Saturday, progressive Taylor Rehmet squares off against a billionaire-funded Christian nationalist for a +17 Trump state senate seat in Tarrant County, a hub of the far right. Rehmet already over-performed, and is confident he’s on the verge of a stunning upset in a bellwether county.

Today’s regular issue of “One First” looks closely at Chief Justice Roberts’s 2025 year-end report on the federal judiciary, and asks, given all of the (unaddressed) events of the past 12 months, exactly *who* the audience is supposed to be.

201. Who is the Chief Justice's Audience?
Reading between the lines, there's a lot to commend in Chief Justice Roberts's year-end report. Measured against the year that was, though, its subtleties are for an increasingly shrinking audience.

Something I see a lot of folks missing in discussions about what's happening Venezuela, particularly around oil, is the role U.S. oil majors' interest in Guyana—and the threat Venezuela posed to it—has in all of it. Explainer here: drilled.media/news/guyana-...
The U.S.-Venezuela-Guyana Oil Triangle
The U.S. interest in Venezuela isn’t just about the oil there, but also about the oil next door in Guyana, and the U.S. oil companies that have staked their future on it.
