I left legacy media to build something different: independent, honest political analysis that isn’t owned by corporations or parties.
I call balls and strikes—no matter who’s at bat—because what’s missing right now are referees, not cheerleaders ⚾.
If you want clear, concise takes that cut through the noise (without the cable-news theatrics), this is the newsletter for you 🎯.
Subscribe if you believe politics is better when someone just tells you what actually matters rather than just what you want to hear 🧠.
Ken Paxton didn’t just win the Texas Senate Republican runoff on Tuesday.
He CRUSHED John Cornyn.
According to Decision Desk HQ’s vote count, Paxton is at 64% to Cornyn’s 36%.
Of the state’s 254 counties, Cornyn won just two — Travis (Austin) and Kenedy. And in Kennedy, a total of 8 votes were cast; Cornyn got six, Paxton two. 😂😂😂
I mean, WOW.
Paxton’s victory has a massive impact not just in Texas but in the broader national political world as well.
My friend Matt Lewis and I sifted through the Texas entrails (gross!) on Wednesday morning.
Among the questions we tried to answer:
Should Democrats be worried by Paxton’s massive margin?
How much will Paxton’s win cost national Republicans (HINT: It’s a LOT.)
Is the Paxton vs James Talarico general election race a toss-up — or not?
What does Paxton’s win mean for the Senate majority fight?
Could Paxton drag down Republicans running for House in Texas?
If you want to get caught up on everything that happened in Texas on Tuesday night — and what it all MEANS — this is the conversation you need to listen to!
