Democratic gubernatorial nominee is pressing Governor Greg Abbott to comply with a public records request for his correspondence with Elon Musk via a lawsuit, while Democratic nominee for Lieutenant Governor Vikki Goodwin has filed a police report against incumbent Dan Patrick for misrepresenting her via AI deepfaked ads. Republican Fort Bend County Judge Daniel Wong has also been busted using fake AI video. AAPI voters in Texas still appear as not being fully embraced by either major party. Cooper's BBQ in New Braunfels finds itself in a political snafu over a Ken Paxton event, and it's Talarico V Trump in Lubbock tonight.WFAA: https://www.wfaa.com/video/news/politics/elections/full-interview-candidate-for-texas-governor-gina-hinojosa-sits-down-with-wfaa-ahead-of-election-day/287-05ea3afc-6504-4305-b766-34701e4f3b16Dallas Observer: https://www.dallasobserver.com/news/lawsuits-and-police-reports-texas-dems-are-taking-legal-action-against-gop-opponents-40726268/Our talk with Vikki Goodwin: https://progresstexas.org/podcast/vikki-goodwin-takes-dan-patricks-digital-deception-happy-hour-300Houston Chronicle: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/houston/article/daniel-wong-black-voters-ai-advertisement-22494469.phpOur pod with Asian Texans for Justice Action Fund: https://progresstexas.org/podcast/special-live-pod-asian-texans-and-2026-power-shiftPolitico: https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2026/10/26/congress/asian-american-voters-texas-talarico-01135267Newsweek: https://www.newsweek.com/texas-barbecue-restaurant-blames-rogue-employee-for-allowing-paxton-event-12619826?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook#Echobox=1793039527Lubbock Avalanche-Journal: https://www.lubbockonline.com/story/news/local/2026/10/27/live-updates-donald-trump-ken-paxton-james-talarico-lubbock-campaign-protests--live/92447541007/Make your voting plan NOW: GoVoteTexas.orgYour ballot based on your address: https://apps.texastribune.org/features/2026/texas-general-election-ballot-november-2026/The Substack version of the Daily Dispatch: https://substack.com/@progresstexasProgress Texas is now part of the lineups at KPFT-FM in Houston, Empower House Radio in San Antonio, and KZSM True Community Radio in San Marcos!

As the Trump Department of Justice ramps up for what they say will be the biggest election monitoring effort in its history, local county elections officials across Texas prepare to play defense. Trump has left statewide GOP nominees Bo French and Nate Sheets off of his national endorsement list, while Republican Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker has endorsed French's Democratic opponent for Railroad Commissioner, Jon Rosenthal. French's offensive remarks about UT Austin students saw a conspicuously slow response from UT officials - while conservative cultural creep has also become highly conspicuous on that campus.NPR: https://www.npr.org/2026/10/21/nx-s1-6009896/justice-department-monitorsAustin Chronicle: https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/paranoia-spreads-as-election-officials-prepare-for-federal-intervention-in-midterm-elections/Progress Texas Podcasts on election interference: https://progresstexas.org/podcast/how-gop-will-try-steal-election-progressSan Antonio Current: https://www.sacurrent.com/news/texas-news/trump-endorses-nearly-every-major-texas-republican-candidate-with-two-notable-exceptions/WFAA Dallas: https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/politics/republican-fort-worth-mayor-mattie-parker-endorses-democrat-jon-rosenthal-for-texas-railroad-commissioner/287-2a085b0d-9b57-4426-89ba-daec216f0d30Texas Tribune: https://www.texastribune.org/2026/10/26/university-texas-ut-bo-french-response/Texas Monthly: https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/university-of-texas-conservative-takeover/Make your voting plan NOW: GoVoteTexas.orgYour ballot based on your address: https://apps.texastribune.org/features/2026/texas-general-election-ballot-november-2026/The Substack version of the Daily Dispatch: https://substack.com/@progresstexasProgress Texas is now part of the lineups at KPFT-FM in Houston, Empower House Radio in San Antonio, and KZSM True Community Radio in San Marcos!

As day five of early voting in the 2026 midterm arrives, so does news that Texas Senate Republicans - who will likely retain a majority in 2027 - are scheming to strip the Lt. Governor of all legislative power should Vikki Goodwin defeat Dan Patrick. Donald Trump's FEMA has rejected Texas' application for recovery assistance related to the most recent flooding in July in the Hill Country and rural Texas. And, SNAP food assistance for Texans under Trump has just seen its steepest decline in decades.Lone Star Left: https://www.lonestarleft.com/p/228-million-votes-and-counting-theQuorum Report: https://www.quorumreport.com/Quorum_Report_Daily_Buzz_2026/texas_senate_gop_quietly_considers_stripping_power_buzziid33515.htmlKENS San Antonio: https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/texas-flood-survivors-plead-fema-denies-disaster-assistance/273-ec098eab-9166-484b-b80d-564cba8a716fTexas Tribune: https://www.texastribune.org/2026/10/23/texas-snap-food-assistance-stamps-record-low/Make your voting plan NOW: GoVoteTexas.orgYour ballot based on your address: https://apps.texastribune.org/features/2026/texas-general-election-ballot-november-2026/The Substack version of the Daily Dispatch: https://substack.com/@progresstexasProgress Texas is now part of the lineups at KPFT-FM in Houston, Empower House Radio in San Antonio, and KZSM True Community Radio in San Marcos!

This week's roundtable is from the road in South Texas at the wonderful Barrel House Kitchen and Bar, location of Tuesday's very first live Progress Texas podcast recording in the Rio Grande Valley! We thoroughly enjoyed making a bunch of great new friends as we platformed Democratic nominee for TX HD 41 Julio Salinas, Latino Victory Texas Coalition Senior Advisor Michelle Vallejo, and LUPE Votes Deputy Director Dani Marrero Hi. Many political experts (including top Republicans!) consider South Texas the key to control of the U.S. House in this crucial midterm - this conversation couldn't be better-timed as early voting gets started. Huge thanks to Social Security Works and UnidosUS Action PAC for making this important trip to South Texas possible!Learn more about Social Security Works at https://socialsecurityworks.org/.Learn more about UnidosUS Action PAC at https://www.unidosusaf.org/.Learn more about Julio Salinas and his campaign for the Texas House at https://www.julioforrgv.com/.Learn more about Latino Victory at https://latinovictory.org/.Learn more about LUPE Votes at https://lupevotes.org/.
With Ken Paxton's fundraising skills largely MIA, Elon Musk has stepped into the breach with his massive wallet - rendering the Texas Senate race one between James Talarico, representing everyday Texans, and billionaires looking to buy influence. Members of the Bush political dynasty have begun publicly falling in behind Talarico. And GOP Texas Comptroller nominee (and current, appointed comptroller) Don Huffines has begun exceeding the mandate of his office in performative political theater, while hiding the financial facts of the Texas private school voucher scam.Houston Chronicle on Musk: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas-take/article/paxton-talarico-musk-campaign-22487893.phpBloomberg: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-10-21/elon-musk-s-texas-senate-race-donations-play-into-james-talarico-s-handCNBC: https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2026/10/22/james-talarico-elon-musk-ken-paxton-texas-senate-race.htmlSan Antonio Current: https://www.sacurrent.com/news/texas-news/two-members-of-bush-family-now-openly-support-james-talarico/Texas Tribune: https://www.texastribune.org/2026/10/21/texas-comptroller-don-huffines-executive-orders/Houston Chronicle on Huffines: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas/article/vouchers-transparency-don-huffines-22480647.phpMake your voting plan NOW: GoVoteTexas.orgYour ballot based on your address: https://apps.texastribune.org/features/2026/texas-general-election-ballot-november-2026/The Substack version of the Daily Dispatch: https://substack.com/@progresstexasProgress Texas is now part of the lineups at KPFT-FM in Houston, Empower House Radio in San Antonio, and KZSM True Community Radio in San Marcos!
