Beto must run for the Texas Governorship again, I feel good with Trump being an anchor on Abbott by then 100% about his chances of winning this time in a favorable climate in 2026 even if Abbott will begin with a modest lead in mid to high single digits (because Abbott is majority approved of by the majority of Texans and is revered in his state). Former Congressman, think about it— I’ll keep badgering you on this, because I think you can fix Texas and make it a sane, egalitarian, reasonable state if given the power to do so. It won’t be like 2022, the climate won’t be nationally light Red, and Biden is gone from office as is Harris so no drag down on him this go round either if he chooses to run again (think about it, O’Rourke, think about it).
Sure, but it's still a very Red state: the cheating is voter suppression and intimidation there, as in most Red states and some Purple nationally.
It has the longest streak of any state voting Red to date at all levels, too, since the early 1990s it has not elected a Democrat for any office- 2018 was the closest one has gotten to victory since then (Beto).
I agree many states do . I actually think something very fishy happened in the 2024 election for multiple reasons I’m NOT a conspiracy theorist but some facts are surfacing now that we need to pay attention to. Like this https://youtu.be/6G8fu50VRXo?si=7PJ_Vz_ke9__b59k and this came out before the election and it seems nothing was done which I do not understand but these are legit and we the people must stop what republicans have done and continue to do watch this too..
Incredible, passionate important message from Beto! Give this talk everywhere! This is the leadership and speaking that goes to our hearts! Keep running for office. I am joining on peoplexpower.com and doubling my efforts.
Thank you for fighting the good cause! ♥️ I am using an app called 5 Calls to contact my representatives in Tennessee which you can use in any state. It makes it very easy to get you messages across to the powers that be!
Ty, guys! I’m still fighting as good as I can without being mobile. Medicare and Medicaid, Social Security are all I have to survive, so it’s definitely important to me.
For the first time since I started collecting social security, I was concerned this month about where it was because it was later than usual. It finally showed up. I was temporarily relieved, but will I have to worry every single month for the next 47 months? This is no way to live.
Charlie Angus, member of Canadian Parliament writes: Charlie Angus, a longtime Member of Parliament from Northeastern Ontario, published his observations about recent NATO meetings in Brussels. He will not be running for election this year which probably makes it easier for him to stand up and speak out. (Although to be fair, he has always been a man of principle and courage- he will be missed in Ottawa!)
“I didn’t think it would be like this. I was sure that when Donald Trump started shooting off his mouth about Ukraine and kissing up to Putin, the combined voices of NATO would speak up as a strong deterrent. When he began undermining his allies, I was convinced that Germany, the UK, France, Poland, etc., would rally together to remind the Americans that Europe would not be pushed around.
And I guess I was also hoping that our big European cousins would be there to reassure Canada that everything would be okay.
But that’s not how it went down at the NATO meetings in Brussels.
Even as Trump was tearing down the European peace around them, the senior delegations were trying to tiptoe around the obvious. They sat politely as American MAGA bros lectured them about their failure to defend democracy and listened politely as they were told that the United States was a superior country because everybody had access to a gun.
The Europeans were rattled. They were freaked out. They didn’t expect that Project 2025 would be aimed at them and the future of liberal democracy.
They just couldn’t believe that right before their very eyes the clock was being pushed back to the 1930s.
In Romania, JD Vance is interfering with the country’s election process. In Germany, Musk is promoting the extremist far right. In the Baltic states, there is a deep fear that Trump is going to sell them out to Putin. And in Ukraine, Trump is now blaming Ukraine for the war and pushing for an election to replace President Zelensky.
Coming from Canada, where our very right to exist as a nation has been called into question, I felt the diplomatic niceties were not the order of the day. And over the course of the meetings, I had a few choice exchanges with American Republicans.
In the official interventions that I made, I went hard at the duplicity of Trump and the need for allied nations to stand up for the rule of law.
This blunt language opened doors for representatives from many countries to approach me to discuss what could be done. I told them bluntly that now was the moment where we either stood up for the vision of a democratic West or allowed it to be torn apart.
In the final morning session, I shook up a staid presentation by pointing out that while we were talking about our shared values, two criminal leaders were meeting in Saudi Arabia to sell out the people of Ukraine.
Following my intervention, the Latvian delegation completely dropped the gloves and went hard on Trump. The hall erupted in cheers.
Afterward, the lead Latvian delegate came up to shake my hand, saying:
“We decided it was time to start acting like Canadians.”
I learned in Brussels that Canada has never been more alone than it is today.
Defending our nation from a gangster state is going to be an expensive and long-term commitment. We will have to hunker down and make tough decisions about our economy and national defence.
We are alone, yet we are not truly alone.
Many of our allied countries share our fears. They just don’t know what to do.
But we can resist the Trump/Putin plan. My hope is that in the coming months, nations like Europe, Australia, Japan, Latin America, and Canada can work together to oppose the Trump gang.
Trump is being reckless on so many fronts, and he will trip and fall. And this will be the opportunity in the United States to begin pushing back.
But my advice to fellow Canadians and our international allies is that we can’t wait or hope for America to get its act together. The resistance must start now.
I am hoping that a coalition from around the world will join Canada.
But if not, we will stand on our own.
Canadians will never kiss the gangster ring, no matter how hard the fight.”
My friend who lives in Romania is scared. She was raised with communism and is in fear Romania will be under Russian governance again. This is plain wrong and frightening.
ALL of this is WHY TRUMP feels like he is KING & CAN DO ANYTHING! No one will STOP him. AS an American in RED Texas I can ONLY HOPE HE'S WRONG!!!! I'm sorry Lynda for what he is doing to CANADA, there are a LOT of other Americans who feel the same! Peace my neighboring country!
So glad to see Beto!! Long time supporter! I got my SS deposit today and felt relief. Feel like I am on a month-to-month lease with this country. It seems like most these days except the wealthy are a take it day by day strategy.
Me too, relief. But also great anger that our independent journalists have to feel concern/ fear for their and their families’ safety. I joined Indivisible.
I used to work (years ago) in a restaurant that had a lot of their kitchen crew here on temp.visas, including our head chef. They were always the most dependable and GRATEFUL.
Quickest way to lock the GOP out of the Presidency? Flip Texas.
They won’t win the popular vote again with better leadership for Dems, and they know it— the electoral college going is the worst thing that can happen for the national GOP, period.
Keep pestering him about the TX Governor’s race, that’s where he can do the most good imo right now.
He’s already fully vetted, so that means no surprises can be sprung by the TX GOP- he’s got the best result for Democrats in the state since 1994 in 2018 to date, and he’s the only Democrat who cut the Republican’s margin of victory in a Red year vs a Blue wave one from 2018 to 2022 there.
Beto just needs the right climate statewide to win, and I think he could get that in 2026.
Jay, I HOPE enough Republicans Against Trump will JOIN us again, especially IF ALL REPUBLICANS POLITICIANS approval ratings go down over all this DICTATORSHIP AND THEM NOT STOPPING it, but even it has been going on for so long, ABBOTT especially during COVID didn't give a two cents about us older vulnerable people or really ANY of us, they STILL don't putting JFK, JR over HEALTH in AMERICA & shutting down the CDC from making announcements. BUT this last month might have brought some more Republicans over & I too hope we can turn Texas & the USA to BLUE again one day & KEEP it that way for a LONG time with LOVE, KINDNESS, & NOT DIVIDING people even if we are on different sides of the fence. Before 2016 I would've NEVER thought Americans would go for someone like TRUMP & the amount of people dying during the beginning of COVID under him NOT SWAYING them BACK to REALITY!!! I love BETO too, always have & YES he would make a GREAT GOVERNOR & THEN A GREAT PRESIDENT!!!!
But Trump does not care what he does or how he makes people feel in any way shape their form as long as it doesn't affect him personally he needs to be taken out completely he should have been in jail a long time ago what the f*** is wrong with the people running this country are they this retarded that they let this convicted felon into the f****** white house I don't understand it
I agree Kay OR why did American VOTERS vote for THE FELON AGAIN, it's HARD to get 12 JURY members sometimes to agree on everything all at once, they didn't throw out ONE count against the EVIL TURD, so there had to be some PRETTY DAMAGING EVIDENCE against him JUST like there WAS in the 1st two IMPEACEMENTS BUT republicans refusing to pull the PLUG on the Ahole! You'd think with him talking about being KING, UP PUTIN's RUMP, His Loyalists, Musk, & TRUMP ALL ACTING DICTATORISH DESTROYING our Democracy & Government, that it would be the REPUBLICANS leading the charge this time to IMPEACH HIM OUT OF OFFICE FOR GOOD!!!!
Beta O’Rourke would be an outstanding Texas Governor or President of the U.S.

I think Texas cheats in their elections!
Sure, but it's still a very Red state: the cheating is voter suppression and intimidation there, as in most Red states and some Purple nationally.

We sure tried to make it happen.
Thank you to both of you! Beto’s words are inspiring and urgent. We must resist. We must do the things Beto laid out.
I especially liked his suggestion to show up at your representatives office if they are not holding town meetings.
Let’s go! 💪🏽
Expose Musk rigging the election!

Me TOO Sheree! My next one doesn't come till the next month on the 3rd. YES we will worry each & EVERY month!
Trump has the blood of that child on his hands.
I used to work (years ago) in a restaurant that had a lot of their kitchen crew here on temp.visas, including our head chef. They were always the most dependable and GRATEFUL.
We must get rid of him now. We hv a new pandemic coming from Chiba again. We are in trouble w nut job at healthcare
Beto is the guy. I will support him in whatever he chooses to do. Dog catcher to President, I’m in.
