I got about this far: and then I quit in disgust. "Reckless," "shortsighted," and in some cases nonexistent words from Talarico made outright lies his fault. Got it

Because of the difficulty in making a positive case for Paxton, the obvious Republican strategy is to go negative on his opponent. Talarico’s public record from the “peak woke” era includes a trail of wince-inducing statements: God is “nonbinary.” There are not two sexes, but six—and therefore girls’ sports need not remain reserved for female athletes. In 2022, he ran what he called a “non-meat campaign” for the state legislature. America should treat its southern border like a front porch, with a “giant welcome mat out front.” (The Republican attack ad drawing together all of these statements omitted the end of the sentence, which was “and a lock on the door.”)

These comments were reckless and shortsighted. Some of us said at the time that politicians should use everyday language understood by most people, rather than push into new linguistic frontiers on behalf of progressive activists. If Talarico had said the word women when defending abortion rights in 2022, rather than “neighbors with a uterus,” everyone would have understood what he meant. His formulation sounded as though a uterus is something you can borrow, like a cup of sugar.

the shitty economy is probably working very well to keep prices from going a lot higher, but look again at the numbers I attached, not yr motivated guesstimate (which is what is showing "negligible" difference - the actual CPI is not negligible, and this yrs looks to be higher) again:
