What is the heritage of Adelson? Are you saying she does not want Paxton for the same reason she did not want Massey?
I believe aipac (and likely Adelson by extension) didn’t offer an endorsement in the Texas republican primary; they were happy with both candidates

paxton is a giant piece of shite and it's well documented and your going to make fun Talarico. I really don't understand politics on either side. vote party line no matter how big of a piece of shite the person is as long as you don't vote for the other side.

If so, how much did Adelson give Paxton?

Looks like all Miriam’s money is paying off for the DSA fruit.

It’s almost like super rich foreigners are trying to create chaos in the United States political system, WHOA!!

The contributions occurred in February and December 2024 and went to Talarico’s Texas state House reelection campaign.
Texas Sands PAC’s donations to Talarico and many other Texas legislators (from both parties) were part of a broader, long-running effort by Adelson/Las Vegas Sands interests to build support for legalizing casino gambling in Texas. Talarico had previously voted in favor of related measures and publicly supported legalization for jobs and tax revenue reasons. The PAC gave to dozens of candidates aligned with that goal.

If democrats weren't so batshit insane with their policies, we wouldn't have to live like that.
I can't afford to not vote for a republican POS when the other side is pushing socialism, illegals, and trannies.
The democrats also call me a threat to this country and want to punish me just for being a conservative straight white male, so how can I vote for them?

The Adelsons also bankrolled Trump and likely got him to go along with escalating things in Iran.
Talarico supports Israel. Paxton says he does but he also stated he is "America First" when it comes to foreign spending which is a big no-no.

You've just acknowledged your incompetence and the only reason you are emotionally charged. Identity politics, specifically laser focused on one individual, and you ignore every single macro level thing being done - most of which you'll eventually say 'I dont support that,' but you already did. You are the dictionary definition of the useful idiot.
You're a pathetic weak fagot of an adult man ;)

The OP refers to the Texas Sands PAC (Las Vegas Sands / casino interests) donations. TSP focuses solely on legalizing casino gambling in Texas. Talarico has supported that effort. Paxton has not.
TSP gives to both Democrats and Republicans open to gambling expansion. It is business, not ideological, spending. The sum total given to Talarico was $59K in 2024. TSP gave him nothing in 2025 or 26.
D/t her contributions to the Senate Leadership Fund and indirectly to its Texas PAC, she's overwhelmingly supported Paxton (GOP) vs Dems in 2025-26

It’s ridiculous for people to think otherwise. You don’t get and stay rich by spending $$ that doesn’t directly benefit you in some way.
