Texas Democrat James Talarico has built a national profile railing against GOP billionaires in politics — but has quietly accepted funds from a PAC backed by one of the wealthiest donors in the Republican Party.

I’m utterly disillusioned with Democrats, particularly in light of our society’s stubborn two-party system that has persisted and continues to exert control. There are four straightforward solutions that could effectively address this issue.

Firstly, we should eliminate the influence of super PACs. Secondly, individuals must work in various government sectors, including education and healthcare, excluding CEOs and celebrities. Lastly, we should implement an age limit for government positions.Wait wait no more Electoral College.

www.transparencyusa.org/tx/committee... Facts show nearly all his donations are from individuals and this pac donated to every single candidate that ran for both parties, in short it’s a tax write off for the multimillionaire.

Would be far more compelling if a search of the PACs payouts for the 2024 elections didn’t include literally every Texas Candidate democrat and Republican with the Dems all getting around $50k one time and republicans getting $200-$100k each. This is a tax write off pac.

I posted a link to the reporting page for the PAC and they gave to everyone running in 2024 from both parties he is on the low end like most Dems, but Talarico page tells his story 137 pages of donors, most are citizens who gave $20-$5.00 which those add up to most his donation amounts.

In a rare moment, Politico performs actual journalism, but geriatric liberals here still get their Depends all in knots. Once again, establishment Dems demonstrate that all this "resistance" is all just a performative sheepdogging operation for the DNC.

www.transparencyusa.org/tx/committee... If politico was doing real journalism they would point out this pac donates to every single candidate that runs in Texas, aka it’s a tax shelter sweetie. Talaricos page shows he is nearly 100% supported by individuals not pacs.

The Politico mentions exactly that, you lazy bum. Perhaps you should try reading for once. A PAC run by a Zionist casino magnate that donates to both parties is actually an indictment - not a defense - of the Dems' latest poster boy. Yet again, #BlueMAGA proves they ain't about shit.

As you can see the PAC donates to all Texas Candidates, so of course they donated to him for the tax write off. But his 137 pages of donors are almost all individuals who have no history of donating to anyone before… real man of the people it seems. www.transparencyusa.org/tx/committee...

Not really the PAC donated to every candidate running for election in 2024, from both parties. Talarico has 137 pages of donors all but the first 3 pages are individuals who gave $1000-$1.00 apiece. The fact most his money is $20-$5 dollar donations citizens made themselves speaks volumes.
