Mavs owner Miriam Adelson dwarfs Texas sports rivals in political giving, pushes gambling

Her $432 million in donations eclipses other team owners, Rockets' Tilman Fertitta & Cowboys' Jerry Jones & his family.

Her political donations surged in 2012, two years after the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling allowed unlimited contributions to political groups.

Running on faith: The message powering James Talarico’s Democratic win

"There is an element of compassion that is entirely missed from this world of walls and razor wire and ICE raids we've seen in Minneapolis and across the country. We still need to see how this plays out in November, but I think this would resonate in border counties among Tejanos who have this rich Catholic tradition of social justice."

Running on faith: The message powering James Talarico’s Democratic win

Joseph Locke, author of "One State Under God: A History of Religion in Texas," discusses how politics and religion have long been intertwined in the Lone Star state, why Talarico's messaging was so effective in the primary, and how it could impact the general Election in November.

It sucks that Crockett will be out of office until the next election, tbh. Hindsight is always 20/20, right? I wish she could keep her US House seat, but alas.

At least her seat should be safely blue, regardless.

Talarico won the Democratic primary!

Cornyn and Paxton are going to a runoff. So don't know which one Talarico will face. But probably Cornyn.

Hinojosa will be facing Abbott for the Governor seat.

I was turned away from 2 different polls today. Major PITA. Thx, GOP /s

Just had a four hour "adventure" waiting in line to vote in the primaries here in Texas. What a system we have!

"Allegations of an affair" is one way to say the woman he cheated on his wife with self-immolated after he destroyed her marriage. Also worthy of mention: He blames his primary challenger for this.
