Summary
Barbara Bush, daughter of former President George W. Bush, donated $2,500 to the Lone Star Rising PAC supporting Texas Senate candidate James Talarico. The donation was reported through FEC filings, and it was not anonymous. Talarico, a Democratic candidate, has criticized big money in politics but has not limited his own campaign spending. The contribution comes as Republicans seek to hold the Senate. Bush, who works for the NBA, has a history of social justice advocacy. The George W. Bush Presidential Center did not comment on the donation.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Barbara Bush donates to a Democratic PAC.
Her name is known, her money is public.
Talarico talks about inequality, then accepts cash from a wealthy donor.
It’s a ritual of politics, not a moment of change.
