TEXAS IPEV DAY 3 UPDATE
The third day has consistently gotten redder - the electorates in the tracked counties are well bluer than 2024 but by less so than the first two days (D+11 instead of D+12)
Most of the big counties are keeping their leans relative to 2024: Dallas/Travis/Harris are all running an electorate 8-10 pts bluer than 2024.
Potential EV frontloading in Tarrant for Dems - their turnout advantage has dropped fairly precipitously.
Dark MAGA land is starting to catch up. Deaf Smith, Potter, Randall, Hardin all had day 3 that was *redder* than the day 3 in 2024. Turnout is still horrible there though.
Indian/Pakistani precincts in Collin/Fort Bend are seeing elevated Asian turnout - this is perhaps the Bo French backlash.
Overall EV is more Latino and younger.
Still lots to go, but Democrats are still in the driver's seat. If I had all the rural counties to add in, the recalled electorate would probably be Trump +7 or so. Eminently doable for a Dem to get 7 points of persuasion in this environment - but we can't directly measure that.
I will try to add more counties if they can get me data in time. Next EV space will be on Friday to talk about latest results.

SCOOP: Jill Buria, who’s married to Pete Hegseth chief of staff Ricky Buria, on Sunday registered to lobby the Pentagon as part of her new K Street job. After I asked her, her firm told me she will no longer work to influence the Defense Department. politico.com/newsletters/pol…

This is the guy @ItsYourGov is lying about.

I get the need to try to calm down the situation, especially from those inside. But stating that the U.S. president is the dupe of Russian psychological warfare is not the flex this government source thinks it is. economist.com/europe/2026/10…

It’s now officially confirmed.
Tonight, russia struck Kyiv’s historic centre with an Iskander ballistic missile carrying a cluster warhead.
58 submunitions explode in mid-air, designed to inflict maximum casualties across a 400 Ă— 400 metre area.
“This strike had no military purpose. The goal was to destroy part of the old city and injure as many people as possible,” said a Ukrainian presidential adviser.
No military objective. Just terror.

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads?
Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them.
The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything.
@ElonMusk: Texas is not for sale.

Allow me to put the vile Vivek Ramaswamy ad into perspective.
This is Mike Caruso, GOP politician in Florida. He was arrested for molesting his grandson. He stuck his penis in his 3 year old grandson’s mouth and urinated.
Vivek and JD Vance support Mike Caruso.

“Departures from these practices should never be countenanced because they risk allowing prosecutors to impact national elections.” -Todd Blanche on DOJ’s 60-day rule, September 2024
Q: The typical practice is DOJ doesn't usually release charges this close to an election. Even though Ms Lucas isn't on the ballot, her daughter is. So can you speak to the reason of the timing?
BLANCHE: The 60 day or 90 day practice is not in writing. That's not part of the justice manual. There's nothing improper.

A U.S. official and a senior military official told CBS News @ellee_watson & @JimLaPorta that the reductions at US military bases in Mideast were being taken because of ongoing regional threats like the Houthis as well as threats from Iran directly. In addition, the US State Dept publicly ordered departure of non-emergency U.S. government employees & their family from Saudi Arabia only; @Olivia_Gazis & I are also hearing of reductions in staffing elsewhere in region.

The 100 year contract with Epstein pal Alejandro Betancourt to steal Venezuela's oil can only be litigated in Reed O'Connor's court. I don't expect the judge to live to 161, but that is truly insane.

For the first time in @metrotimes history, we’re no longer seeking comment from a candidate’s campaign because of repeated lies and bigoted attacks. That candidate is Mike Rogers, whose campaign keeps targeting Abdul El-Sayed’s Muslim faith. metrotimes.com/news/mike-rog…

You knew Roger Marshall sued 700 patients & had 70 new moms arrested for failing to pay medical bills as little as $101.
But context is everything: the senator's biggest donor, close friend & biz partner of 30 years is a serial hospital looter with a long record of stiffing workers, suppliers, blood banks etc. to the tune of tens of millions of dollars

🚨NEWS: Roger Marshall's top donor, 30-year business partner and good friend is Dan Tasset, a private equity mogul who has bankrupted hospitals nationwide.
Marshall & his wife have invested in several funds from the PE firm, known as Nueterra. 🧵

All roads lead to Jai Chabria and Strategy Group CEO Ben Yoho as the masterminds of the ad.
Spokeswoman Connie Luck, who was already en route to Hell, should never work in politics ever again, either, for trying to cast doubt on Acton's well-documented trauma.
