I just want to share my personal take on why Team USA fell short. To me, the moment they got involved with anything connected to Trump, the energy shifted. In my experience, nothing positive ever seems to come from being associated with Trump or the political chaos that tends to follow him.

I know people will have different opinions, and that’s fine but from where I’m standing, the whole situation felt off from the moment that connection was made.

My Chewy order for Apoquel got delayed until Tuesday, and my pup is really struggling with itching right now. I’m in the Charlotte area and can meet up anywhere nearby. If anyone has even a few tablets to spare, I’d be incredibly grateful. Thank you so much in advance, my dog will appreciate it more than you know.

I want to share this because it’s one of the rare political conversations that doesn’t get lost in vibes, spin, or bad‑faith nonsense. It’s grounded in facts, grounded in reality, and grounded in the lived experiences of Black people. Also Reecie says her and Rachel spoke after Tuesday podcast.

This take on Jasmine is incorrect/misquoted. Everyone should check out Clay Cane and Reese's segment. They're (respectfully) more entrenched in politics and what is going on. Its important to be clear and accurate in our narrative recounting and framing of this.

It is up to Talarico and his team to convince people to vote for him. But folks, especially non-Texans, are talking at her like SHE would be the reason Talarico loses, instead of focusing on Talarico's lack of strategies to authentically and honestly outreach and speak to the needs of the Black people that initially supported her. He has spoken on other groups, mainly Latine folks. He has not explicitly done this with Black voters and has, in fact, not accepted multiple invites onto influential Black political news outlets (including Clay's show). Please let's not paint some Black people who want to hear from Talarico as the problem. Also, there are MANY Black Texans that are saying they will vote for him, regardless of any particular concerns bc the other option is worse.
