NOE GARZA: A 107TH DISTRICT COURT JUDGE WHO'LL BE THERE WHEN IT MATTERS
By El Licenciado de Veras
Special to El Rrun-RrunWalk into any courtroom in Cameron County and you'll hear it. The 107th District Court race. The skinny. El rrun rrun.
But when you strip away the noise, the question is simple: Who do you trust when it actually matters?
This isn’t traffic court. This is where a mother fights to keep her child, where a man stands accused, hoping someone will listen. Where everything you’ve built can be taken away in a single decision.
And when you’re standing there, none of the politics matters. Only the person on the bench.
Noe Garza didn't grow up with connections. He is the son of immigrants. He attended public schools. There were no shortcuts. While still in school, Noe was already grinding, putting himself through college, learning what it meant to earn every opportunity, not just for himself, but for the people who depended on him.
That matters.
Because when you’ve lived that life, you don’t forget what it feels like to walk into a courtroom and have everything on the line.
For almost 40 years, Noe has stood next to families just like yours. Not in theory. Not in a classroom.
In real courtrooms. With real consequences. More than 300 trials. Real cases. Real consequences. Moments where the truth had to be sorted from noise. Where someone had to make sense of chaos.
Where someone had to stand up when it mattered most.
You’ll hear people say a judge should be “nice.” And of course, respect matters. But nice is easy.
What's hard is making the right call when the pressure is on. Knowing what matters and what doesn't. Getting it right when someone's life is on the line.
That’s the difference. And that difference comes from experience. When it's your child, and a judge is deciding custody... When it's your freedom, and everything is on the line...
When it's your business, and everything you've worked for is at risk...When it's your future sitting in that courtroom.
What you want is simple. You want someone who’s fair. Someone who listens. Someone who will treat you right. That’s what matters.
Not talk. Not appearances. You need someone who has seen it before. Someone who knows what truly matters. Someone who understands the difference between real evidence and empty claims. That kind of judgment isn’t learned from a book. It’s earned.
Someone who hopes they get it right? Or Someone who has stood in a courtroom more than 300 times and made it count? Noe Garza brings more than experience. He brings understanding. He knows what it means to work. And he knows what it means to stand beside people when everything is on the line.
That’s who he is. Judges are elected to do the hard things when they’re hard, not when they’re easy.
Vote Noe Garza.
Because when your family’s future is at stake, experience isn’t optional.
Today is the last day for early voting. Election day is Tuesday May 26.
Your voice matters. Use it.

LOS FRESNOS MENDOZA: PUBLIC SERVICE ISN'T JUST ABOUT HOLDING OFFICE, IT'S ABOUT UNDERSTANDING OUR PEOPLE
By Juan Mendoza
CURSES, FOILED AGAIN: REPUBLICANS WHO TRY TO VOTE IN DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY RUNOFF COULD FACE FELONY CHARGES
By Karen Lucero
The Cameron County Elections Department is warning voters they cannot switch parties for the runoff election if they voted in a party's primary in March.
Cameron County Elections Administrator Remi Garza said the department has seen a number of voters trying to vote for a different party during early voting for the May 26 joint primary runoff elections.
"What we're seeing is people who voted in one party's primary attempting to vote in the other party's runoff election, and in Texas you can't do that," Garza said.
Garza said voters who did not vote in the March primary can still choose either party in the runoff election.
"In November you can vote for anybody on the ballot you choose, but during primary season, when you choose candidates for November, you have to stay affiliated with the same party," Garza said.
Cameron County Democrats have always stood for unity, consistency, and fighting for our community — not helping Republican political agendas divide Democrats from within.
Garza warned that trying to cross over and cast a ballot in the opposing party's runoff is a serious offense. He said knowingly attempting to do so is a felony, which means prison time and a fine up to $10,000.
During early voting, voters can go to any of the 20 early voting locations in the county. Early voting runs through Friday, May 22, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
TEAM GINA: ABBOTT IS NOT ON A ROLL, WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE
Texans are tired of Greg Abbott.
We are tired of the corruption. Tired of the billionaire-first politics. Tired of watching Greg Abbott sell out working Texans while his mega-donors cash in.
Since 2014, Greg Abbott’s margin of victory has gotten smaller in each of his elections.
More and more Texans are rejecting his corruption. We’re done with his billionaire-first agenda that has hollowed out our healthcare, our schools, and our futures.
Now, polls are showing just 3 points between Greg Abbott and our campaign.
Yes, only 3 points.
Let me break down what this actually means.
*3 points is the same thin margin that sent Ann Richards to the Governor's mansion — the last time a Democrat led Texas.
*3 points is some of the closest polling Greg Abbott has ever seen.
*3 points means we are not just competing, we are a real threat and inches away from making history.
That means Greg Abbott is more vulnerable than he has ever been — and it means we have a real chance to defeat him this November.
But Abbott still has $106 million from billionaire donors and massive corporations ready to flood the airwaves and protect himself.
We can win this race — but only if we have the resources to fight back.
So, will you chip in $5 right now to help us compete everywhere, reach voters across Texas, and finally make this Greg Abbott’s last term?

ON THE EVE OF TODAY'S STARSHIP LAUNCH FROM BOCA CHICA, SPACEX REVEALS WORTH BEFORE GOING PUBLIC
By Ryan Mac and Lauren Hirsch
SpaceX Elon Musk’s privately held rocket and satellite maker, has long been something of a financial mystery, even as it became synonymous with audacious plans to reach the stars.
That changed on Wednesday, when the company revealed just how lucrative its rocket launch and satellite internet businesses have been.
SpaceX’s revenue soared to $18.7 billion in 2025, up 33 percent from a year earlier, the company disclosed in a filing required of firms that are seeking to go public. In the first three months of this year, revenue rose to $4.7 billion from $4.1 billion in the same period a year ago.
But the company lost more than $4.9 billion last year, compared with a $791 million profit in 2024, as capital expenditures nearly doubled to $20.7 billion from heavy spending on artificial intelligence development. In the first three months of this year, SpaceX lost almost as much money as all of 2025, recording a $4.3 billion loss.
SpaceX, which also owns the social media platform X and xAI, the maker of the Grok chatbot, drew back the curtain on its finances for the first time as it prepares for what could be one of the largest initial public offerings to date. The company, which values itself at $1.25 trillion, is aiming to reach the stock market as early as next month and could try to raise $50 billion to $75 billion from the offering.
If successful, SpaceX’s I.P.O. could pave the way for other enormous offerings, including from the A.I. companies Anthropic and OpenAI, which is also preparing to file confidentially for an I.P.O. in the coming weeks. Last week, Cerebras, an A.I. chip maker, kicked off the expected wave of offerings and rose 68 percent on its first day of trading, becoming the largest public offering so far this year and the biggest of any technology firm since 2019.
A strong public markets debut for SpaceX would bring generational riches to Wall Street, the company’s employees and, of course, Mr. Musk, who is already the world’s richest person and could become its first trillionaire.
Mr. Musk and a SpaceX spokesman did not respond to requests for comment.
How closely Mr. Musk is tied with SpaceX was made clearer in the filing. He owns around 50 percent of the company’s shares outstanding and controls more than 85 percent of the shareholder votes because of a class of super-voting shares, according to the filing. Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX’s president and chief operating officer, was the only other executive listed in the filing to hold a seven-figure chunk of the super-voting shares.
Based on SpaceX’s current $1.25 trillion valuation, Mr. Musk’s ownership stake is worth more than $635 billion.
The company is preparing another test launch of Starship, its largest rocket, on Thursday. Mr. Musk has said Starship will eventually take people to Mars and bring data centers to space.
SpaceX’s most lucrative business is Starlink, its satellite internet service, which had 10.3 million subscribers at the end of March, double from a year earlier, according to the company filing. Last year, Starlink recorded about $4.4 billion in income from operations, also more than double the year prior.
In its filing, SpaceX said it had “the largest actionable total addressable market” in “human history,”estimating that at $28.5 trillion. That included a $1.6 trillion market for Starlink, $370 billion from “space-enabled solutions” and $26.5 trillion in A.I., which included an estimate of $22.6 trillion for A.I. “enterprise applications.”
While much of SpaceX’s capital spending has been on artificial intelligence, the company’s filing suggested it was already seeing business opportunities from its investments. After building two large data centers known as Colossus 1 and 2 in Tennessee, SpaceX struck an agreement with Anthropic for the A.I. start-up to rent its computing power for $1.25 billion a month for the next three years, the filing said.
The document said the company’s objectives had “no precedent” and acknowledged risks, including rocket launch failures, spending on A.I. development, the scaling of Starlink and potential reputational harm associated with Grok, which had 6.3 million paid subscribers at the end of March.

GROUND CONTROL TO LOONEY STEVE: BAJATE DEL AVION, BRO!
By Eddie Treviño
Does Steve believe in fairy tales?
FACT 1: He praises Donald Trump’s announcement of an oil refinery project that nobody seems to want, then takes credit for it while attacking me for taking a picture with Governor Abbott, even though he proudly takes pictures with Abbott himself.
"I DON'T CARE ABOUT AMERICANS' FINANCIAL SITUATION, JUST MINE..."
Special to El Rrun-Rrun
They hid it. That's the part that should make your blood boil.
Reporter: "The DOJ has this new fund — $1.7 billion. Why should taxpayers pay for the January 6ers?"
Trump: "Because in my world, loyalty outranks law. They broke the rules for me, so you pay the bill for them. That’s the transaction."
This administration is one long fuck you to anyone not in the cult.
And the slush fund is $1,776,000,000 as a fuck you to every Founding Father.
Because on Tuesday — quietly, separately, one day later — Blanche signed a single additional page declaring that the IRS is "FOREVER BARRED and PRECLUDED" from auditing, examining, or prosecuting any tax returns filed by Donald Trump, his sons Don Jr. and Eric, the Trump Organization, and all affiliated trusts, subsidiaries, and related businesses.

TREVINO WARNS OF GUERRA CAMPAIGN HACKING VOTERS' INFORMATION
"I got a “survey” call asking who I was voting for County Judge. When I said Trevino they asked if I was aware he gave himself a raise and knowing that would I still vote for him. I told I was sick of the mudslinging and hung up." Voter commenting to El Rrun-Rrun
4. You do not have to send them or show your “I Voted” sticker.
GONNELLA CONCEDES TO GARCIA HALFWAY THROUGH RECOUNT
Sharif halted the count after about 8 and one half hours with over 60 people hand counting every single ballot precinct after precinct. Box after box he literally saw every ballot counted and nothing changed. Once it got to the mail in ballot count, he finally decided to concede. He had to sign a affidavit to make sure he didn’t come back to continue the recount.
It was clear that 2,000 votes weren't going to magically go his way. The recount stopped after only 58 precincts of the 102 precincts that get to vote on the BND election.
