Ken Paxton just denied our public information request for the Hoffman Files. Adam Hoffman — an admitted child molester — should be in prison, but Ken Paxton let him off the hook. Texans deserve to know why. We don’t need any more pedophile protectors in our government.

Texas, the model State for Project 2025, a return to The Confederacy, Jim Crow 2.0 and The Handmaid’s tale, white Christian nationalism, fascism… And strangely, 8 million Texans that are eligible don’t vote!

Every day during the entire history of the US we’ve had merchants offer sales, people start new businesses, companies expand, foreigners invest in US enterprises & buy products from the US. But until now we’ve never had a president claim that every bit of it was because of him.

Belgium beats, then trolls, U.S. team on Monday night
Even though it was tied, 1-1, after Malik Tillman scored another goal on a free kick just outside the penalty area, it never felt close.

The depth of corruption is so staggering that it feels unreal. But it is. Trump “rug pulled” hundreds of millions from his fans through his crypto, and now doesn’t even pretend otherwise. We cannot allow this to feel normal. Watch the full video (link)

Didn’t see this coming. Another Senate race to watch closely. Lindsey Graham spent years acting like South Carolina belonged to him. The voters might have other plans. Dr. Annie Andrews is at 45%, and among informed voters, she leads Graham 46% to 43%.
