"Talarico is a vegan." "Paxton pardoned a pedophile." "Uh, well, Talarico says God is nonbinary or something?" "Paxton pardoned a pedophile." "Um, Talarico is, uh, low T?" "Paxton pardoned a pedophile." "Talarico is going to institute sharia law!" "Paxton pardoned a pedophile."

News! Christopher Franke has just released a ton of Babylon 5 soundtracks on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Pandora and others: six large volumes and smaller, six episodic soundtracks. Available yea unto this very moment.

Reporter: Ken Paxton has taken to calling you ‘Talafreako’ @JamesTalarico: If Ken Paxton is worried about freaks, he should stop giving Epstein-style sweetheart deals to pedophiles. This is the guy who just released Adam Hoffman from jail, an admitted child rapist.

It's been said a billion times already, and it still can't be said enough: I don't see how US democracy survives if blatant, intentional lying remains cost-free

Ken Paxton running away with the primary last night is not a surprise. Ken Paxton IS today’s Republican Party. Just like Donald Trump is today’s Republican Party, Ken Paxton is today’s Republican Party. And the party ain’t changing anytime soon.

In October, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued the manufacturers of Tylenol. But the case wouldn't be heard in Austin or any of the state’s large cities. It would take place in Panola County, a community of 23,000 residents. With @texastribune.org

The Talarico ads are pre-made The Republican Party has deleted their ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime: "Homicides highest in nearly 30 years under Ken Paxton." Paxton is now the GOP's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate.

Talarico: I’m an eighth-generation Texan. I’ve been eating barbecue since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment. And if all they have on me is lying about me being a vegan, I feel pretty good about our chances this November.

Can we all now agree that running the government like a business was an incredibly stupid idea?

Douglas Adams played with language like jazz: bending its rules, stretching its rhythms, and somehow making every wrong note sound exactly right. The same way a jazz musician takes a perfectly respectable melody and teaches it to misbehave. Happy Towel Day #TowelDay #HHGG

Lest we forget: Obama secured the Iran deal without starting a war, shutting down the Strait of Hormuz, or losing a single American life. But please, tell me more about how “toughness” requires body bags.

Texas solar is projected to beat coal for the first time on the ERCOT grid. This news isn't getting the attention it deserves.

They record to benefit THEM, not to help YOU, puny customer!

Name a better engineer than a London beaver. We’ll wait. 🦫 These incredible creatures were reintroduced to the city and have already stepped up to stop flooding at a Tube station and restore local habitats. Nature is healing (and civil engineering).

Ken Paxton’s hypocrisy is well-documented. He's one of the loudest proponents for requiring schools to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms. Yet he’s famously eschewed Number 7 multiple times (thou shalt not commit adultery).

So if it was all “made up,” insurrectionist slush fund grifters like Proud Boys’ Enrique Tarrio shouldn’t get any taxpayer funded payouts, right?

Funny how the all the people ransacking the Capitol on January 6 were liberals, plants, and ANTIFA—until there was money to be made from it.

He doesn't mean they're doing better now. He just means we stopped helping them.

Donald Trump’s $1.7 billion slush fund isn’t just reparations for insurrectionists, it’s a downpayment on the next insurrection.

The United States has moved into a stupid, corrupt era where reparations go to people who did bad things, not to people to whom bad things were done. 🤷‍♀️

“Instead of student loan forgiveness we’re doing a coup forgiveness program”

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.
