McKinney, Texas, is ground zero for the migration of voters from California to Texas over the past several years. On Election Day, it is these newcomers who may well tip the balance not just in the Senate and governor’s races, but also whether the once ruby-red Lone Star State will continue to grow bluer.I met Oren at The Celt on the picture-postcard town square, where we played a friendly game of pool. He moved from California about a year ago “because it’s a lot cheaper to live,” but is voting for Democrats because he believes that Texas needs “more social services and public transit,” as well as more support for transgender kids.When I gently tried to press Oren on the apparent illogic of moving away from a high-tax, big-government blue state for reasons of cost — only to vote to make his new home a high-tax, big-government state — he was unmoved, almost arguing that real California progressivism has never been tried.FOX NEWS POLL: TEXAS SENATE RACE GALLOPING TOWARD A PHOTO FINISHIt turns out that Oren was not as much of an outlier as I had expected because, not long after, I met Daniel, who works at a local restaurant and moved to McKinney a few years ago with his best friend and girlfriend to start a business. He has also proudly brought his politics with him.”It’s in the Constitution,” Daniel told Fox News Digital, going on to say, “We can go anywhere we want, it’s meant to be that way.”When I asked him if he could understand why so many people born and raised in Texas are worried about transplants changing its politics, he shrugged and said, “Things change.”JOE ROGAN WARNS LIBERALS AGAINST TRYING TO TURN TEXAS BLUE, SAYS IT WOULD WRECK THE STATE’S ‘DELICATE BALANCE’In the space of about five hours, I met two more refugees from California prepared to keep voting for Democrats. Like Oren and Daniel, they really did not see any irony in the fact that they may be recreating in Texas exactly the conditions they escaped in California.The natives, however, do see the problem with the Californication of Texas. Terry, a longtime local in her 60s, told me, “I love to see the growth, and there’s a lot of it, but if they bring Democratic politics with them, then we stand to lose the whole thing bringing people here.”Clint, who was in town from his home just on the other side of the Oklahoma border, is worried not just about Texas turning blue through domestic migration, but even about the Sooner State eventually turning blue.TRUMP WON THIS RELIABLY RED STATE BY DOUBLE DIGITS. NOW A DEADLOCKED RACE IS BRINGING HIM BACK”I cannot comprehend why someone would move from a state because there’s high taxes and then come down here and vote for high taxes, I just can’t comprehend it,” Clint told Fox News Digital, adding, “and I’ve asked them to explain it to me, but they just cuss me out.”Thankfully, nobody cussed out this columnist for asking, but Clint is correct that the liberal transplants see no problem with transforming the red states they arrive in into blue states, and it’s not just Texas.Arizona and even Montana have seen influxes of liberal California voters. West Virginians have similar fears regarding their neighbors to the south in Northern Virginia, who are also attracted by the low taxes and cost of living.ELECTION DAY 2026: JOIN AMERICA’S CONVERSATION HERE!In Texas, there is a kind of double-pincer political invasion because, along with the Cali converts, unchecked immigration — illegal and otherwise — over decades has also pushed the needle left in the state. This is, in a nutshell, the new Democratic Party coalition: wealthy, college-educated Whites and immigrants.The bottom line for Republicans — not just in Texas but in many red states — is that Americans are moving at stunning rates to cheaper states, which almost always means Republican states. The good news is that red states stand to gain in the Electoral College and in Congress after the next census, but that won’t matter if Democrats take them over.Between now and then, and especially on Tuesday, “Don’t you turn my red state blue” has to be the mantra of the GOP. If Texas falls this time, then anywhere can, and that is exactly what the Democrats moving to red states are hoping for and creating.

Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico’s email address has been uncovered in a database from a 2011 data breach of Fling.com, an online dating and hook-up website, Townhall reports. 
Townhall reports that Talarico’s attorneys confirmed the email belonged to and was used by the Texas Democrat.
The online account was created just before Talarico began teaching sixth graders at Rhodes Middle School in San Antonio, Texas, back in 2011.
The profile, “mohawk787,” which is reportedly associated with an email belonging to Talarico, lists “FETISH,” “GROUPSEX,” “SEXUAL RELATIONS,” “ONLINE FLIRTING,” and “OTHER” as the user’s interests.
The same email address also appears on other websites, including Myspace, and IP address matches suggest that Talarico’s sister, Madeline Talarico, created a Neopets page from the same location, Townhall reports. Still, it is unclear based on the records who actually created the account using Talarico’s email.
And, in a letter to Townhall, Talarico’s attorneys note that the birth date and zip code associated with the profile did not match those of Talarico, threatening legal consequences.
“Talarico never created an account on Fling.com, and objective evidence confirms it,” Jacquelyn K. Lopez and Sarah N. Mahmood wrote. “The account you are referencing was created using a hacked email address. It was also never used—it was active for a grand total of 54 seconds on Fling.com. You are formally on notice that any allegation that Mr. Talarico created or used such an account is false; if you publish it anyway, you will defame him and will be liable for the resulting legal damages.”
Townhall reports:
The records from the Fling.com data breach show displayed account creation and last-login timestamps that are 54 seconds apart. The screenshots show no later login before the database leaked in 2011, but they do not establish that the account was accessed again.

The Fling.com database record lists the email address as “validated,” marked with a “Y” for yes. According to the database structure published by cybersecurity researcher Troy Hunt, the default setting was “N” for no. This means the email address was marked as verified rather than left at its default setting.
The record also shares an IP address with a separate database leak involving an email address associated with Talarico’s sister used in association with an account at a company called Neopets. An IP address can identify the internet connection used to establish the user account, which could indicate that the accounts reflected in the Fling.com and the Neopets data breaches originated from the same internet connection.

US Attorney for Alaska Michael Heyman, held a press conference on Friday afternoon to update the public on his office’s ongoing criminal investigation into Alaska’s Senate ‘spoiler’ candidate Dan J. Sullivan.
The Justice Department has launched an aggressive criminal investigation in Daniel J. Sullivan. Federal prosecutors have issued more than 40 subpoenas.
News of the criminal investigation comes after The New York Times confirmed that Mary Peltola’s campaign recruited the decoy Dan J Sullivan to confuse Alaska voters.
Democrat operatives in Mary Peltola’s campaign worked to register a man named Daniel J. Sullivan as Dan S. Sullivan (the incumbent Senator’s name) as a GOP challenger.
The Times reported that the plan involved traveling to “far-flung Alaskan communities and the appearance of a mysterious Midwestern operative, who traversed the state using a fake name and made his pitch to would-be candidates over beers at brew pubs.”
“The plan worked. This spring, a retired teacher from a tiny fishing village along the Alaska Panhandle, reachable only by air and sea, announced his candidacy for Senate. His name was Dan J. Sullivan,” the New York Times reported.
Michael Heyman provided an update on the ongoing investigation into Mary Peltola’s campaign.
“Every Alaskan deserves a fair election and they’re going to get one, Michael Heyman said. “We will not let anyone or any group undermine this election,” Michael Heyman said.
“This new information has resulted in a significant surge of law enforcement assets to Alaska, and I have assigned several attorneys in my office to assist in the matter as well,” he said.
WATCH:

Meanwhile, the decoy Daniel J. Sullivan has disappeared.
According to CBS News, Dan Sullivan left his hometown and was last seen on a flight to Anchorage on Monday.
His current whereabouts are not known.
CBS News reported:
Daniel J. Sullivan, the independent candidate running for Senate in Alaska whose name is almost identical to the Republican senator running for reelection, left his hometown of Petersburg earlier this week, multiple sources confirmed to CBS News.
One resident and former student of Sullivan’s said she saw Sullivan on a flight to Anchorage on Monday — two days before The New York Times first reported that he was recruited by operatives linked to Democrat Mary Peltola’s campaign. The source added she did not know where Sullivan was headed, but another friend said he and his wife are known among friends as “world travelers.”
Sullivan’s current whereabouts after leaving his hometown are not clear.
Dozens of Petersburg residents also told CBS News they never saw or received any campaign materials like mailers, flyers, brochures or signs since the former elementary school teacher announced his candidacy last spring.

EXCLUSIVE: Federal immigration officers arrested an illegal alien accused of attacking a New York City police officer Friday, ending a manhunt sparked by his release from local custody despite repeated U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer requests, Fox News Digital has learned.Alpha Bah, an illegal immigrant from Guinea, was taken into custody at approximately 3:25 p.m. after ICE officers tracked him to a temporary residence in New York City, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official told Fox News Digital.Officers with ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) developed intelligence about Bah’s last known temporary residence Friday, and established surveillance in the surrounding area, the official said.HOUSE REPORT SAYS NYC PROSECUTORS TAILORED PLEA DEALS TO SHIELD ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM DEPORTATIONAt approximately 2:22 p.m., officers spotted a man matching Bah’s description leaving the residence and meeting several unidentified individuals on a nearby public street. Officers continued monitoring him rather than immediately approaching because several school-aged children were in the area.About an hour later, officers spotted Bah alone and approached him while displaying police and ICE identification. They confirmed his identity through biographical questions, a photograph and Mobile Fortify, a biometric identification tool.Officers informed Bah of an administrative immigration arrest warrant and took him into custody without incident. He was transported to 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan for post-arrest processing, according to the official.The arrest comes after Fox News Digital reported that NYC authorities released Bah despite repeated requests from federal immigration officials to hold him in custody.EXCLUSIVE: NYC OFFICIALS REFUSE ICE HOLD FOR ILLEGAL ALIEN ACCUSED IN ARSON THAT KILLED 4 AND INJURED 7: DHSBah was initially arrested Oct. 7 on charges of aggravated assault on a police officer with a deadly weapon, resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration and intent to obtain transportation without paying, according to DHS.ICE lodged a detainer with Queens Central Booking, but Bah was released without federal immigration authorities being notified, DHS previously said.The case drew criticism from federal immigration officials, who accused New York City’s sanctuary policies of allowing Bah to return to the streets despite the pending immigration detainer.”This illegal alien from Guinea was arrested for assaulting a police officer with a deadly weapon. Despite these violent charges, New York City sanctuary politicians refused to honor ICE’s detainer and RELEASED him back onto the streets, and he remains at large,” DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in a statement prior to Friday’s arrest.”DHS is calling on Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Zohran Mamdani to knock it off with these evil sanctuary policies before another American gets hurt, or worse.”Fox News Digital’s Hannah Brennan and Peter D’Abrosca contributed to this report.

Rep. Tom Kean Jr., R-N.J., is responding to questions about missed congressional votes after a monthslong hospitalization for depression, saying he is “stronger than ever” as he seeks re-election in New Jersey’s competitive 7th District.Speaking on “The Fox News Rundown” podcast, Kean discussed his hospital stay earlier this year, explaining that his absence from Congress was due to a medical emergency.”Nobody can schedule a medical emergency, and we were able to discuss and tell people while I was in the hospital that we [had] a medical situation in the family with me,” he told Fox News’ Mike Emanuel.REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN WILL END MONTHSLONG ABSENCE FROM DC AFTER MISSING 135 ROLL CALL VOTES”I also spoke on the House floor when I returned that I’d been in the hospital for depression because I want to get rid of the stigma associated with any mental health condition.”In June, Kean returned to the House and disclosed that he had been diagnosed with depression after spending months in the hospital receiving treatment.MISSING GOP CONGRESSMAN REVEALS HE’S ‘MORE ENERGIZED THAN EVER’ TO RETURN TO WASHINGTONKean had been absent from Congress since early March, missing more than 100 votes before publicly disclosing his diagnosis. The extended absence drew calls for transparency from lawmakers in both parties and became a focal point for his Democratic challenger, former Navy helicopter pilot Rebecca Bennett, in the competitive district.Emanuel asked Kean whether his absence had affected his standing with voters.SWING-SEAT REPUBLICAN SIDELINED BY ‘SERIOUS’ ILLNESS MISSES 88 VOTES AS MAJORITY HANGS BY THREAD”As I said, I’m feeling stronger than ever. And I tell them the same issue that I just talked to you about. The fact that I had to treat my own mental health, I had to take that seriously,” Kean said.”I was in the hospital for those months that I was away. I spoke on the House floor that I had depression, and now we need to get rid of any stigma associated with mental health treatment.”Kean also pointed to his legislative record, highlighting his work on bipartisan legislation in New Jersey that sought to require health insurers to provide equal coverage for mental and physical health treatment. He said he continues to pursue similar efforts in Washington.

A California father of five says his family’s public charter school rejected homeschooling materials that merely mentioned God or faith, even when the books met state academic standards, forcing his family to pay out of pocket for educational resources he says other parents could access with public funds.John Woolard told Fox News Digital that he and his wife initially had no problems using a public charter school program that allowed them to educate their children at home. But he said they eventually discovered that their curriculum choices were being scrutinized for religious content.”Any book or curriculum purchase that we wanted to make that referenced God or faith in even like an adjacent sort of way was being denied,” Woolard said.CALIFORNIA SCHOOL DISTRICT SUED OVER FIELD TRIP TO MOSQUE WHERE STUDENTS ALLEGEDLY DONNED MUSLIM GARBHe described what he called a “publisher blacklist” and said the restrictions extended beyond explicitly Christian instructional materials.Woolard said he even encountered problems with books examining the religious beliefs of America’s Founding Fathers.”You would think that that would be something that would be non-controversial, but those curriculum choices would be denied,” he said.For Woolard, the dispute goes beyond religious expression. As a father of five, he said the charter school program provided a cost-effective way to tailor the curriculum to each child’s individual needs.But when the school rejected certain curriculum purchases, he said, his family was left covering the costs.”If our curriculum choices are denied, then we have to pay for those resources, we have to pay for those curriculum choices out of pocket,” Woolard told Fox News Digital.WASHINGTON FATHER SUES SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR DENYING RELIGIOUS OPT-OUT FOR 5TH GRADER FROM LGBTQ INSTRUCTIONWoolard said he pressed school officials to explain why the materials were being rejected.He asked whether the curriculum met California standards and whether it was academically rigorous enough. According to Woolard, the answer to both questions was yes.”So, at the end of the day, the only objection that you have to this curriculum, our curriculum choices, is that there’s a faith component to it,” Woolard said he recalled asking.He said both a teacher and principal acknowledged that the religious component was the objection.WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT FORCED KIDS TO HIDE BIBLES IN SEALED ENVELOPES MUST APOLOGIZE, PAY $275K”What that tells me is that equality only extends as far as what the government approves,” he said.Stephanie Taub, senior counsel with First Liberty Institute, characterized the policy as discriminatory toward families seeking a faith-based education during an interview with Fox News Digital. “What we’re asking here is California has a policy that singles out parents who want to give their children a faith-based education, and it excludes them from homeschooling benefits that would otherwise be available,” the attorney said.Taub said the family is seeking Supreme Court intervention after an unfavorable lower-court decision.Woolard said he hopes the justices will ultimately force California to change its approach.”What I really hope is for the government or for the Supreme Court to come back and tell California you got the decision wrong and this is the way to correct it,” he said.He added that such a ruling could “break open California for a lot of families” seeking similar changes.Taub said the Supreme Court is considering whether to take the case and that she expects to hear whether the justices will review it in the next few months.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREA spokesperson for the California Department of Education told Fox News Digital that the department cannot comment on pending litigation.
