James Talarico won the Democratic nomination for a US Senate seat in Texas on Tuesday, capping a remarkable rise from state lawmaker and seminary student to the party’s standard-bearer in one of the key races of the 2026 midterm cycle.

With his blend of faith-based populism, bipartisan appeal and generational energy, Talarico defeated Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, a firebrand beloved by the party’s base but who struggled to dispel concerns that she could defeat a Republican in a state that has not elected a Democrat statewide in more than 30 years.

A jubilant Talarico told supporters in Austin before the race was called: “We are not just trying to win an election. We are trying to fundamentally change our politics. And it’s working.”

Earlier White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that Spain has agreed to cooperate with the U.S. military after President Donald Trump threatened to cut trade with Madrid over its stance against the US-Israeli strikes on Iran

Which then quickly prompted the Spanish government to categorically deny any such agreement of cooperation with the US military.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, has “categorically” denied that Spain will “cooperate militarily” with the US, as previously stated by White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt. At a press conference, the US official said that “Spain has agreed to cooperate militarily in the last few hours.” In an appearance this morning, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez summed up Spain's position on the conflict “in four words: No to war.” For its part, the European Commission has warned that it is prepared to act and safeguard the interests of the Union in response to US President Donald Trump's threat of a trade embargo against Spain. On the ground, Turkey has reported that NATO systems installed on its soil have shot down a missile over its territory, which fell without causing damage after flying over Iraq and Syria. NATO has condemned the launch by Iran. In addition, Israel continues, together with the US, its bombing of Iran, where it has attacked targets in Tehran and other cities. The death toll from the offensive by both countries has exceeded 1,000, while the Ayatollah regime has continued to launch missiles against US targets in countries surrounding the Persian Gulf, such as Kuwait, the Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.
