Talarico Hits Ken Paxton Upside His Corrupt Head
As Susie Madrak noted earlier, Attorney General Ken Paxton defeated incumbent Sen. John Cornyn in Texas’s blockbuster GOP runoff. Paxton will now face Democratic state Rep. James Talarico in the general election, and the gloves are off.
Paxton and Republicans have bizarrely labeled Talarico as "Six-Gender Jimmy," "Tala-freak-o," "Tofu Talarico," or "Low-T Talarico," but none of that regurgitated Trump-like juvenile name-calling is sticking. What is sticking is Paxton's open corruption. Could Talarico have defeated Cornyn? Maybe not, but he's got a better shot at defeating Paxton, whom Talarico described as the "most corrupt politician in America," and he's not wrong.
Now, Talarico is smacking back.
"Something just happened in Texas," he said in a video posted on social media. "The most corrupt politician in America just became the Republican nominee for the United States Senate."
"Three years ago, Ken Paxton was impeached by his own party for using his public office to enrich himself and his donors at the expense of the people," he continued. "That kind of corruption is the rot at the core of this broken system."
"It's why we can't afford anything," he said. "It's why we can't get ahead, no matter how hard we work. For 50 years, mega donors and their puppet politicians like Ken Paxton have stolen from us with their bribes, their bailouts, and their billionaire tax breaks."

Trump Abruptly Cancels Camp David Trip After Semi-annual Physical
President Donald Trump scrapped a rare trip to Camp David on Tuesday after returning from a three-hour medical exam at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, with bad weather cited as the reason for the last-minute change.
Trump was scheduled to travel to the presidential retreat in rural Maryland on Wednesday to hold his 12th cabinet meeting since taking office, but the White House announced the gathering would instead be held at the White House. Trump typically flies to Camp David by helicopter, making heavy rain a potential grounding factor.
The cancellation came hours after Trump posted on Truth Social that he had "just finished" his "6 month physical" at Walter Reed, adding that "Everything checked out PERFECTLY."
The 79-year-old president — who turns 80 next month — spent more than three hours at the military medical center for what the White House described as preventive medical and dental checkups. It was his fourth publicly disclosed exam since returning to office.
The White House did not release detailed results. Spokesperson Davis Ingle said Trump "remains in excellent health" and called him "the sharpest and most accessible President in American history."

TX GOPers To Decide Between Evil And Boring In Prmary
Senate Republicans are bracing for an expensive general election in Texas as the state’s scandal-plagued attorney general positions himself to push out four-term incumbent Sen. John Cornyn.
Cornyn faces Ken Paxton in a primary runoff Tuesday, with public polling favoring Paxton. Senate Republicans have fervently backed Cornyn in the primary, saying he would be easier to defend in a general election against the Democratic nominee, state Rep. James Talarico.
Paxton has faced allegations of corruption, financial malfeasance and infidelity. He has also struggled to keep up with Cornyn or Talarico — both prodigious fundraisers — in raising money. Cornyn asserts that Senate Republicans would have to divert essential cash from other competitive races to propel Paxton if he became the nominee.
“It would be hundreds of millions of dollars, and there’s still a good chance he would lose,” Cornyn told supporters Thursday at a campaign stop in Houston.
