The smug look on @SenSchumer ‘s face after being asked his thoughts on senators not planning to vote for him and then responding with “ don’t worry about that I will be elected as the majority leader” really pissed me off.

It just doesn’t sit right that all this new energy and new cast of characters results in … Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer.
For one thing, Democratic power has shifted South and West and away from New York.
For another, half of politics really is just vibe-setting and they simply can’t and don’t.
Practically speaking, we probably can’t swap them out, but it certainly *feels* like the right move.

“Without action, Governor Hinojosa will inherit the powers of a DICTATOR.”
So we’re admitting Abbott has been given essentially the power of a dictator the past 11 years?
🚨 I call on Gov. Abbott to IMMEDIATELY convene a special session to REIN IN EXECUTIVE EMERGENCY POWERS… before Gina Hinojosa is sworn in!
Republicans lost last night, but Democrats were not sworn in.
We still have total power in Texas, and we must act like it by using the remaining ten weeks to restore separation of powers and limit the emergency powers that Governor-Elect Hinojosa is set to inherit, which would allow her to destroy liberty in Texas by executive fiat.
I’ve warned since I was first elected that NO governor, Republican or Democrat, should have unchecked emergency powers!
Now that Texas has elected a Democrat Governor, the urgency is undeniable… and inaction is intolerable.
Without action, Governor Hinojosa will inherit the powers of a DICTATOR.
Due to the absurd (and almost certainly unconstitutional) Texas emergency powers laws, Gov. Hinojosa will literally have the power to modify laws, ignore laws, or create and enforce laws – including criminal laws – on a whim!
Today is a day for ACTION, and bold leadership.
The Texas Legislature must immediately pass, and Governor Abbott must sign, legislation like HB911, which I filed in 2022 and warned at the time, that “Never ending emergency powers are antithetical to representative government and render people powerless. Legislative bodies allowing a single executive branch official to both write and enforce laws is the biggest threat to our constitutional system of divided government and should be opposed irrespective of which political party runs the executive branch.”
My legislation would protect liberty from executive fiat by, among other things, taking the following actions:
1. Prohibit the Governor from suspending or modifying statutes
2. Sunset emergency orders in 30 days if the legislature does not ratify the order
3. Prohibit the governor from reissuing emergency orders that expired or the legislature rejected
4. Require emergency orders to be narrowly tailored
5. Subject emergency orders to expedited judicial review
We have TEN WEEKS LEFT to protect Texas from near total Democrat rule.
I encourage every elected Republican in Texas to join my demand for Gov. Abbott to call a special session.
The future of liberty in America is literally on the line in Texas, and Texans deserve leadership that acts accordingly.

Gov-elect @GinaHinojosaTX responds to rumblings of some Republican lawmakers considering stripping the new leadership of legislative power.

I think at some point we forgot that the Texas Senate primary was a Progressive vs Moderate race where progressives were the ones pushing for Talarico.
Then, when it became obvious that James has generational talent, moderates pretended they were with him the whole time.

Since Buc-ee’s said they won't do business in blue states, I expect a press release today saying they are closing up shop in Arizona and Texas. 😁🤷

I think the actual problem is Shapiro lost his lane on Tuesday. "Moderate Governor with bipartisan appeal who can win Pennsylvania" got a lot less sexy to Dem primary voters who just watched Texas flip Blue, Kansas elect a Democrat, and Ossoff and Cooper blow out Georgia and NC.

Both the left & the right have to come to an agreement about this shit.
This is an insane image.

Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries failed so dramatically as Minority Leaders that Trump was able to easily start a war, bankrupt the economy, and form an illegal private army of goons to brutalize and murder American citizens.
The entirety of the past two years, they have been directly complicit in the terrors of the Trump administration by capitulating to him at every turn, while attacking any leftist trying to stop him, and pushing dead-end candidates like Haley Stevens.
Get these fucking people away from the levers of power before they can do even more damage.

One of the differences between 2006 and 2026 is going to be that, after taking a midterms drubbing, George Bush mostly took the hint and more or less tried to lay low the next two years for the good of the party.
You, uh, probably aren't gonna get that from Trump.

On election night, the first thing Chuck Schumer did was call Trump and promise to “work together,” and Hakeem Jeffries gave him the cold shoulder about political retribution.
These people have already caved down. Replace them or get Trump 3.0.
Jennifer Welch: “I want to say this Chuck Schumer: we won in spite of you and we will do everything on this channel, everything, to make sure that you are not the Senate Majority Leader. You do not represent us. You’ve made it crystal clear who your loyalties are to. What you did to Angie Nixon, I will never ever forgive you. Quit taking victory laps on Twitter like you won this. Nobody likes you”

🚨🇺🇸 ILLINOIS — Sen. Juliana Stratton:
“I will not support Senator Schumer as our leader.”
Does Chuck Really have the Votes to cling to power?
