Talarico counters Trump’s midterms visit with a statewide food drive spotlighting grocery costs

Texas Democratic Senate hopeful James Talarico plans to counter Donald Trump’s GOP midterms convention in Dallas with a statewide 'Love Thy Neighbor' food drive to spotlight high grocery costs, mobilizing volunteers to collect and donate food Sept. 6–9. The event aims for cross‑partisan participation and comes as polls show Talarico leading Paxton 48–42. The digest also notes Democrats pressing for AI oversight with calls to haul in tech executives, and Rep. Morelle urging faster ballot counting as House leadership shortens the pre‑election calendar and otherwise battles data centers, sanctions and other priorities.
