John Cornyn, James Talarico, and Ken Paxton

This is the Republican nominee for statewide office. Are other Republican elected officials going to condemn the intolerance and racism, or look the other way while it becomes normalized. This is how great political parties self-destruct. Sad. https://t.co/TO1dTXKd6G

I condemn racism in all its forms, including James Talarico saying white men are America's top terror threat and that he prays to overcome his own 'whiteness,' whatever that means. Only one person in this race has a history of dividing Texans by race, and it’s James Talarico. I… https://t.co/24Tlp3Rd5U

John Cornyn is a small, bitter man and James Talarico is exploiting that bitterness.

I hope Texans send Ken Paxton to the U.S. Senate.

Akayed Ullah - Port Authority Bomber

There was a terrorist attack yesterday in New York.

That's kind of a big deal, right?

From FOX News:

An attempted suicide bomber who set off a rush-hour explosion at the nation's busiest bus terminal is a Bangladeshi national living in Brooklyn who was inspired by ISIS, law enforcement officials said.

The suspect in Monday morning's blast at Port Authority in midtown Manhattan was identified as Akayed Ullah, 27. Ullah strapped a pipe bomb to his body with Velcro and zip ties, and it detonated in a subway corridor, police said.

Ullah lived in Brooklyn after he entered the U.S. in 2011 from Bangladesh on a chain migration visa, Department of Homeland Security Press Secretary Tyler Houlton said in a statement.

The DHS said Ullah came to the U.S. on an F43 visa, a preferential visa available for those with family in the U.S. who are citizens.

He was considered a "Lawful Permanent Resident from Bangladesh," Houlton told Fox News.

Law enforcement officials said Ullah was inspired by ISIS but didn't appear to have direct contact with the group and likely acted alone.

Thank God Ullah's attack failed. He didn't even manage to kill himself.

Thank God there are people like these four Port Authority police officers.

These are 4 Port Authority police officers who saw bombing suspect w/ wires coming from his clothes after explosion, they held him down, stopped him from dialing cell phone & triggering a 2nd possible blast. These 4 are being credited with saving lives. @NBCNewYork @PANYNJ pic.twitter.com/3Ij0JYhTdl
