People think flipping Texas is impossible. But this weekend, Texas Democrats showed this country just how much grit we’ve got: In one of Republicans’ most reliable strongholds in the country, Texas Democrats just brought home two MASSIVE victories this weekend. And one of those wins was from a Texas Senate seat that Trump won by 17 points in 2024. Let’s run that back: Texans just flipped the biggest Republican county in the country, and we’re not slowing down. We’re running full speed ahead to send Jasmine Crockett to the U.S. Senate. Texans just proved we can defy the odds and rewrite the script.

For too long, Texas has elected Senators who have defended politics as usual and protected the status quo, while Texans pay the price. We’ve had Senators who’ve pushed the American Dream further and further out of reach. Jasmine is running for the United States Senate because she believes Texas deserves a Senator who will be an independent voice for all 30 million Texans – not a rubber stamp or party line vote for Donald Trump.

By Malcolm Ferguson Podcast: Trump Spirals Into Crazed Fury After Harvard Humiliates Him Very Badly The Daily Blast With Greg Sargent After The New York Times reported that President Trump has backtracked on a major demand he'd made on Harvard University, he spiraled out of control in three wild tirades. He angrily insisted on a correction from the Times and levied unhinged new threats against Harvard, demanding a new billion-dollar extortion payment while calling for the university's criminal prosecution. Harvard officials clearly leaked word of Trump's backtracking to humiliate him at a moment of political weakness. It worked: Trump appeared panicked and weak as he fired off half-cocked threats. Which raises a question: Why don't more institutions grasp that standing firm against Trump is the only way? We talked to Ryan Enos, a Harvard political scientist who has long argued for a strong stand. He explains the internal politics at Harvard leading to its current posture, why this fight's outcome has broader significance amid our slide into authoritarianism, and what the prospects are for Harvard holding firm.  Listen to the episode here.
