Honored, beyond all measure, to be elected to the SREC for Senatorial District 16. Thanks to all who supported and endorsed me @JaceYarbrough @realmitchlittle. Without question, the lion's share of my gratitude goes to my beautiful wife, Monica, a walking example of sacrificial love. Representing SD16 and helping lead our Republican Party of Texas is a heavy charge. With our primaries and State Convention complete, we now have a clear mandate to fight—in unity—for complete triumph in November. I’m excited to work with @DrindaRandall, @CoveyTX, the SREC, and each and every Republican candidate toward victory.

A key data point, mostly unnoticed, explains much of the election carnage in Texas and nationally. Major bond packages were on the ballot throughout North Texas. The City of Irving had a roughly $1 billion dollar bond presented for public schools. Irving voters—who voted for Talarico by a whopping +43 margin—rejected the public school bond. Convincingly. Dallas County (+45 Talarico) voted on a tax that would generate $100 million/year for homelessness services. It failed. Bonds or tax packages in McKinney, Keller, Mesquite, and elsewhere failed—including a vote in Plano to bring the Dallas Stars NHL franchise to its city. While the nation elected openly Marxist DSA candidates, blood-red states like Mississippi and South Carolina saw Republican losses, and where far-left Democrats prevailed in once untouchable Texas, those same voters rejected funds for public school and homeless services, darling issues for liberals. How could these newly progressive voters be so cold-hearted? This election was chiefly about economics. It is, so it turns out, the economy, stupid. In the last two years, the economic plight of working Americans simply did not improve. And the war in Iran, besides being a betrayal of trust to voters, made money matters affirmatively worse. Texas Democrats intentionally—and quite shrewdly—ignored culture war issues and laser-focused messaging on populist economics. That’s how they were able to win the same Texans who voted against public school and homeless service proposals. People are struggling, immensely more than most understand.

A number of people here are alleging the election was stolen. Cut that loser mentality. Were the polls stolen? Did imposters answer surveys long terrifying Republican analysts? Were the prediction markets faked? Is the stolen election in the room with us right now? The facts of my post further disprove such nonsense. Why would the election thieves vote for Dems but bizarrely vote against these grand public finance packages? We Republicans must accurately diagnose the disease to find the cure. This election was primarily about the economy. The administration did not deliver cost relief in two years, and actions like the unexplained war in Iran actually made economic conditions worse. Let’s learn from this loss that next cycle we may prevail.

As we charge the polls today, watch the clip below and soberly accept what’s at stake. Believe those on the left who say they want open borders, because “it shouldn’t be so great here,” and we should have more problems. We’re no longer debating what the marginal tax rate should be. We’re deciding whether we have a country or not. Text everyone you know who is a patriot to our nation on the brink, and get them to vote TODAY.
Your average demoralized leftist if they take back power in 2026 and 2028. Take a little bit of your time to go vote. Stay in line. Bring a friend.

Astounding. Fifth Circuit chastises and reassigns district judge who struck down a Mississippi anti-DEI law… in an order written by AI. Worst part is the appellate court’s insinuation that the district judge, essentially, plugged in a policy outcome he wanted and asked AI to manufacture legal reasoning to get him there. Not even a pretense of caring what the law is and applying it to the facts of the case. Not good for the Republic.
Holy guacamole: In a judicial smackdown, Judge J.E. Smith tears into Judge Wingate for his "careless[] exercise" of judicial power and "sloppy edicts based on falsehoods and fabrications." Mississippi's anti-DEI law can go into effect. Judicial AI use takes a beating. Reassigned.

It’s obviously not the flu. So the only question is what fabricated excuse will be deployed by the handlers. A truly stunning collapse of the campaign.
No one gets the flu for 13 days.

This is why a ground invasion of continental America is impossible.
This might be the coolest home gym setup...

Anthony Fauci, a disgrace to our nation, is currently pleading the Fifth in his congressional (non) testimony. Many have commented that this is unnecessary because Biden pardoned Fauci (query why he would ever need a pardon). But the pardon doesn’t apply to state crimes Fauci may have committed- and it doesn’t apply to any perjury he could have committed today, post-pardon.

On the same day when SCOTUS succeeded in answering what is a woman, they failed in answering what is an American. Today, five justices declared that a child born on American soil to a mother who came here for the sole purpose of giving birth, and who then carried that child home to be raised in a hostile foreign land, is your equal in citizenship with the same rights and privileges. The same claim on this Republic as a family that has bled for it for generations. The Supreme Court has once again mistaken the Constitution for a suicide pact. It is not one, and the American people will not accept it as one. Understand what is at stake. For years, foreign nationals have paid American "maternity hotels" tens of thousands of dollars to manufacture U.S. citizens to order. Federal agents have raided these operations. The Justice Department has prosecuted their operators. Their clients have included officials of the Chinese government. A child raised in Beijing to despise this country, a child who may owe military service to a foreign power, holding an American passport he can use to walk through any door we leave open, is not a quirk of immigration policy. He is a national security threat, and I intend to treat him as one.

Never forget that this is what we’ve worked so hard to purge from our party. If people like this regain power, our country is lost.
The Supreme Court has allowed TPS for Haitians to end, putting families in Springfield and communities across the country at risk of being sent back to a country in chaos. Congress can and should extend these protections.

At which point all words lose any semblance of meaning.
“Transfemicide state of emergency” Beyond parody. And delusional. The trans murder rate is actually LOWER than the general population. And basically every trans murder victim is killed because of domestic issues, drugs, or prostitution. “Anti-trans hate crimes” are a fantasy.

Waves of past immigration succeeded because those arriving on American shores shared the core convictions Jace identifies. Also essential: past immigrants sought to contribute to the great American project. Not to scam or exploit it. Much less to approach it with open hostility.
You do not become an American by immigrating here and keeping a foreign culture. Our culture is rooted in a Western and Christian heritage, but for years our leaders have been incentivizing the takeover and occupation of our country by people who oppose these convictions.

“Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, 37, has a single checking account that holds up to $50,000—and he shares it with his mother, a frequent contributor to his political campaigns who pitched in to cover Talarico’s moving expenses when he was 32, records show,” @peterjhasson - freebeacon.com/democrats/tex…

Do you practice religious discrimination in Florida, @MLB? You’ll be hearing from my office soon.
Three Giants pitchers wore Bible verses on their Pride Night caps during Friday’s game. MLB has since issued a warning to them.

Great job, everyone!
Thank you to Representative Mitch Little for sponsoring the 2026 Republican Party of Texas Convention. Since taking office, Representative Little has quickly established himself as a principled conservative voice committed to defending constitutional liberties, protecting Texas values, and serving the people of House District 65 with integrity and conviction. We appreciate his support of this year’s Convention and look forward to working together to advance the conservative principles that unite our Party. @realmitchlittle
