James Talarico: They’re scared of the movement we are building. They’re gonna throw everything they have at us.

They’re gonna call me a ‘radical leftist.’
They’re going to call me a ‘fake Christian.’
They’ll call us a threat.

The only truth is — we are a threat to their corrupt system.

There’s never enough money for schools or healthcare or veterans.

But there’s always enough money to bomb people on the other side of the world.

We can support the democracy movement in Iran without bombing innocent schoolchildren and sending our American troops off to die.

James Talarico in first interview since his primary victory:

My faith teaches me to love my neighbor as myself.

Texas has a deep hunger for a different kind of politics rooted in love. The old politics of total war is dying, and we are building a movement to take on this broken system.

I was honored to attend the homegoing service of one of my heroes: Rev. Jesse Jackson.

As a pastor, he preached unity and love. As a candidate, he built a multi-racial working-class coalition.

Thank you to the Jackson Family for inviting me to celebrate his incredible life.

I am tired of being pitted against my neighbor.

I am tired of being told to hate my neighbor.

My faith teaches me to love my neighbor as myself.

Not just my neighbor who looks like me.

Not just my neighbor who prays like me.

Not just my neighbor who votes like me.

I am called to love all of my neighbors the way I love myself.

One thing is clear: we’re about to take back Texas.

To the billionaires who have taken over our state and our country: your unchecked power is coming to an end. 

To the people of Texas: this election is our chance to take power back for ourselves and our communities.

Talarico: It doesn’t matter what happens in this Republican runoff. We already know who we’re running against — the billionaire megadonors and their corrupt political system.

The only truth in that is that we are a threat — a threat to their corrupt system.

Talarico: This new kind of politics is being born right here in the Lone Star State.

The number of Texans who have never voted before but showed up in this election is unprecedented.

The people of Texas just gave this country a little bit of hope. And a little bit of hope is a dangerous thing.

.@JamesTalarico: My grandad was a Baptist preacher who told me at an early age that we follow a barefoot rabbi who gave us two commandments: love God and love neighbor.

I’m trying to love my neighbor through public policy, I’m trying to make my neighbor’s life a little easier and a little better.

.@JamesTalarico: This is a people-powered movement to take on this broken, corrupt political system. This is truly a campaign of, by, and for the people.

We’re not just trying to win an election. We’re trying to fundamentally change our politics.

.@JamesTalarico: To the Congresswoman Crockett’s supporters — I know I wasn’t your first choice, but I hope to earn your trust and your support. As your Democratic nominee, it’s on me to ensure you feel welcomed in, represented by, and proud of this campaign.

.@JamesTalarico: One thing is clear today — we’re about to take back Texas.

We’re done being divided. We’re done being played. We’re done being pitted against each other. That old politics is dying, and a new politics is being born — through all of us.

6 months ago we launched this grassroots campaign for the US Senate to bring working people together.

Because the biggest divide in our politics is not left vs right — it’s top vs bottom.

James Talarico tells undecided voter the story of how he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes:

“So I was able to work across the aisle to pass the first ever cap on insulin co-pays in Texas history. We capped it at $25.”

James Talarico: Elon Musk is about to become the first trillionaire. He's about to make more money than every elementary school teacher in America combined. Do we really believe one man is worth more than every elementary school teacher?

JamesTalarico to Pete Hegseth in unearthed clip: "I'm asking you to tell your voters right now that Donald Trump lost the election in 2020. Can you admit that?”

Hegseth: “I-it’s not your show…”

Talarico: “Is this an uncomfortable question for you?”

James Talarico: I frankly am tired of the "thoughts and prayers" rhetoric from our leaders here in Texas and in our nation's capital.

I believe in the power of prayer. But there is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem that we're not willing to solve ourselves.

America is praying for Austin.

But there is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem we're not willing to solve ourselves.

God moves and works through us. God has no other hands but our hands.

We must act.
