All optics? Democrats claim ‘historic victory’ flipping deep-red Texas Senate district — but here’s what they omit
Democratic allies and legacy media outlets are celebrating Taylor Rehmet’s victory in Texas Senate District 9’s special runoff as a historic upset for Republicans — but they fail to note that Rehmet will likely never even cast a vote unless he wins again later this year.
Mark Lucas, the founder of Veteran Action, stated that a progressive political action committee funded by George Soros spent $500,000 to flip the Texas Senate race in a district where President Donald Trump secured a 17-point victory.
‘The Democrats were energized. Too many Republicans stayed home.’
“My org @VeteranAction is incredibly important to counter the left’s attempt to chip away at the veteran vote — something the GOP cannot afford to take for granted,” Lucas wrote. “Meanwhile, the radical left is investing heavily to recruit veteran candidates to retake the House in 2026. They will quickly impeach Trump and obstruct our AMERICA FIRST agenda.”
George Soros’ Open Society Foundations provided $2.58 million in grants to VoteVets Action Fund from 2019 to 2024, according to the foundation’s website. The grants included support for the organization’s advocacy of “progressive, diplomacy-first foreign policy,” “congressional war powers,” and “preventing executive abuse.”
On January 31, VoteVets announced in a post on X that it was proud to have endorsed and financially supported Rehmet with “over $500K” in an independent expenditure.
Rehmet defeated Republican opponent Leigh Wambsganss, securing a 14-point victory.

Despite the substantial funds the Democrats invested in the race, it seems these efforts were primarily for show, as the seat will be contested again in November 2026 for a full four-year term. Further, the Republicans in the Texas Senate hold a solid majority, and the legislature is not in session until January 2027.
The Texas Scorecard noted that the special election runoff saw low turnout, with just under 95,000 ballots cast, representing roughly 15% of all registered voters.
Rehmet and Wambsganss are expected to run against one another again in the November election.
Wambsganss called the January 31 election results “a wakeup call for Republicans in Tarrant County, Texas, and the nation.”
“The Democrats were energized. Too many Republicans stayed home. … Mr. Rehmet and I will face each other again in November, and I fully expect the results to be different,” she stated. “The dynamics of a Special Election are fundamentally different from a November General Election.”

Anti-Semitism Is Often ‘Fabricated,’ According to Curriculum Bankrolled by George Soros
Amid a historic spike in anti-Semitism, liberal billionaire George Soros is bankrolling an education company that provides a “curriculum on anti-Semitism” to students from kindergarten to college. The organization, PARCEO, is led by anti-Israel activists who claim many allegations of anti-Semitism are “fabricated” and used to silence pro-Palestinian activists.

Meet the Soros-Backed Radical Running Graham Platner’s Campaign (Now That No One Wants To Work for Him)
Graham Platner, the Nazi-adjacent Democrat running for U.S. Senate in Maine, recently hired a new campaign manager. The role was vacant because his old campaign manager suddenly quit last month, along with several other top aides. It would appear that Platner’s ability to attract top talent has been hampered by a series of scandals involving a Nazi tattoo and old Reddit posts disparaging black people, rural Americans, police officers, homosexuals, and rape victims.

Spotify to continue airing ICE recruitment ads despite Soros-linked complaint
The Trump administration has been actively recruiting new Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to assist in the effort to enforce United States law and remove illegal foreigners from America. However, some organizations have taken issue with the advertising efforts on Spotify to recruit people at this critical time.
‘This ad is part of a wider campaign from the US government running across multiple platforms, including television, streaming, and online channels.’
MoveOn, a George Soros-affiliated organization, started a petition to specifically pressure Spotify to remove ICE recruitment ads from its platform.
The petition calls the advertisements “offensive government propaganda” that uses “inflammatory and dehumanizing language.”
“And now Spotify and other streaming platforms are letting ICE use the platform that people pay for entertainment and connection as ICE’s recruitment tactic. It’s intrusive, offensive, and disturbing,” the petition reads.

The petition does not call out any other streaming platforms by name.
“This ad is part of a wider campaign from the U.S. government running across multiple platforms, including television, streaming, and online channels,” a Spotify spokesperson told Blaze News
“Users can also help manage their ad experience in-app by liking or disliking an ad or logging into their account via web browser and updating their ad preferences,” the spokesperson added.
The petition fails to mention that the only users affected by the ads are free subscribers. Paid subscribers do not receive advertising, leaving them virtually unaffected by the ads.
On Blaze News’ last count, the petition has 36,914 signatures. The goal is 40,000.
MoveOn and the Department of Homeland Security did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.
