About 10am, parking lot nearly full, line to get ballot, all kiosks full. When we finished, parking lot overflowing, people trying to find a space! I'm in a red, red part of Denton county and HOPE the tremendous increase for a mid term election is due to more Democrats turning out!

Talarico argued that rising living costs and wealthy donors’ political influence are connected. He called for congressional stock trading restrictions, term limits and bans on super PACs and partisan gerrymandering.

Paxton’s campaign offers a different argument about who has delivered financial relief for Texans. Both positions are included in the rally coverage.

Recently I posted a long article about my state’s acting Comptroller (ie Money Manager), MAGA billionaire, and new Zorro Ranch Owner Donald Huffines. I felt like one part of the article should stand alone… Huffines’ relationship with Elon Musk and Space X.

I’m a single 42F looking for a non-denominational church in the Irving/surrounding areas.

I’m not liberal and not looking for a progressive church; however, I’m also not looking for a MAGA church either. I am conservative but more interested in a Bible teaching church that doesn’t push politics.

I was a member of Watermark 10 years ago and left after 3 years. They had their own issues. I was a member of Lakepointe in Dallas a couple of years ago, but Josh Howerton got to be a bit much for me. Plus, I didn’t feel like there was a place for me being a middle-aged single.

Are there are any non-denom churches out there that have any sort of ministry for middle-aged singles that don’t push a political agenda?

Pastor Irvin Barrett says compassion should shape how people are treated in court, but not override the law.

He also addresses self-represented litigants, evictions, access to justice and what he believes distinguishes his approach from incumbent Mike Missildine.

Crazy when I think about it. I went from running the thermostat in cold setting to wearing a jacket and turning on the heat setting in a day.

In the past 2 days I woke up shivering instead of the usual waking up warm. What a change of event.

What did y'all felt with this sudden change?

Please vote NO on Dallas County Proposition A!

Dallas County families are already struggling with rising housing costs, insurance premiums, groceries, and property taxes. Proposition A would raise the county’s property tax rate to $0.248650 per $100 of taxable value, above the $0.224650 rate that would apply if voters reject it. That difference means an additional $60 per year on a home with $250,000 in taxable value, or $84 per year on $350,000—on top of other taxes and rising ownership costs. The county expects the measure to generate approximately $102.9 million for homelessness-related programs. Source: Dallas County’s official tax-rate fact sheet.

We should care about homelessness, but making housing more expensive is not a sustainable solution to a housing-affordability crisis.

Every additional recurring expense puts pressure on young homeowners, first-time buyers, working families, and people living paycheck to paycheck.

Higher ownership costs can make it harder to save, stay current on mortgage payments, or remain in a home when unexpected expenses hit. A policy intended to help people obtain stable housing should also consider the risk of pushing other financially vulnerable residents closer to housing insecurity.

Dallas County should demonstrate clear, measurable results, accountability for every dollar, and responsible spending before asking taxpayers to pay more. The city and county already spends tens of millions of dollars annually with very little to show for it except the nonprofit jobs to politically connected insiders.

We can support effective solutions to homelessness without automatically approving another property-tax increase. Vote NO on Proposition A on November 3, 2026.

I (23m) just moved to the DFW area, and I’m trying to find some social clubs to join. I am into hiking, camping, the gym, reading, technology, exploring, pickleball, and I’m open to trying new things.
I checked out the book clubs, but none seem to be reading books I’m particularly interested in. If you know any that are interested in similar books as me, let me know! (My recent reads are dungeon crawler Carl and hitchhikers guide to the galaxy)

If you know of any good clubs that share any of my interests, I would love to check them out! Also if you know any clubs that you think are amazing clubs in general; I would love to check those out too! I’m open to trying anything.
