Big news in Texas:

A Democrat just decisively won a state legislative special election in a district around Fort Worth that Trump carried by more than 17 points in 2024.

Taylor Rehmet, a local union leader, defeated Republican Leigh Wambsganss 57 to 43 in the historically conservative district.

Democrat wins special election for red Texas Senate seat
With ballots tallied from all but a handful of voting centers, Rehmet had 57% of the vote, besting the 43% for his GOP opponent, Leigh Wambsganss, who had a massive spending advantage.

Khanna: "There has to be accountability. Do I think impeaching Kristi Noem is going to solve the issue of ICE? No. But it's gonna send a signal that you can't wield power without a check in this country. And that's what we have with ICE agents smashing windows, following people to churches."

Republicans redistricted to win five new seats in Texas. All five are projected to be between R+4 and R+8. To achieve this, they diluted their advantage in other districts.

A 15-point swing in November wipes out Republican control of the state. A 30-point swing erases Republicans in Texas entirely.
Thirty point swing to Democrats deep in the heart of Texas.
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

How it started vs how it’s going

The Texas GOP majority got a little slimmer. Hoping to see more endorsements turn candidates to into losers.

If you're wondering just how far right the GOP is in Tarrant County, where Taylor Rehmet just pulled off a stunning upset, here is the type of stuff that the party's (now former) chairman posts on a daily basis with almost zero backlash from others in the party.
The leader of the GOP in Tarrant County - Texas' third-largest county and the largest Republican-held county in America - has spent this week openly spewing racial slurs and mocking people who will lose access to food stamps on Nov. 1.

​holy shit Texas! Stunning upset by Taylor Rehmet - union leader, Air Force vet

Trump won SD-9 by 17. Rs had 3 months since 11/4 & spent millions to keep this seat, been GOP for 35 years

Got to talk to Taylor twice on @siriusxmprog.bsky.social. So fucking inspiring

Congrats Taylor and his team!
Conservative reporter over on Twitter says that Wambsganss has thrown in the towel: “We’ll be back in November.”

President Trump has made $4 billion by illegally trading access to the White House to get rich. He controls the Dept of Justice and the Congress so he won't be held accountable - until he doesn't control the Dept of Justice and Congress.
Trump’s Profiteering Hits $4 Billion
In August, I reported that the President and his family had made $3.4 billion by leveraging his position. After his first year back in office, the number has ballooned.

MAJOR UPSET ALERT: Democrat Taylor Rehmet has just been projected the winner of the Texas SD9 special election — flipping a district that went Trump +17 and hasn’t elected a Democrat since 1991.

Trump personally endorsed Leigh Wambsganss and spent days hyping this race… and still lost.

‼️‼️‼️‼️ Per reporters on scene, Leigh Wambsganss has shut down her party. She hasn't conceded to Taylor Rehmet yet, but apparently told supporters that “we’ll be back in November.”

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.

‼️‼️ 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.

Abolish ICE and fire all agents is the moderate position.
I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.
