🚨 Reports and allegations about Ken Paxton's July 4 trip to London are raising fresh questions about judgment, transparency, and accountability. Public officials seeking higher office should expect scrutiny over both their public conduct and personal integrity. #Texas #SenateRace

In the past week, Ken Paxton has been found to have illegally voted six times under a false address and to have spent Independence Day in London with his mistress—threatening to drop his support among MAGA Republicans down to 99 percent.

Tolkien wrote a YA novel where the villain was Smaug, an evil dragon that hoarded wealth & polluted the earth. Everyone working in tech who loves that book & that author has missed its point. These are also the same people who assert that thinking about literature is a waste of time. 🤬🤬

The Texas attorney general appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite his warning voters that “it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records.”

Vile: Mike Johnson just said GOP might try to undo birthright citizenship with legislation, which is unconstitutional. I've noticed a pattern: He and Vance are using sleazy new language to sell this as a trivial reform. The threat is very much alive. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2127...

Speaking as just one guy who sues the government a lot: This basically does not happen. It is a transparent effort to shut down further inquiry by conceding relief. What they are seeking to cover up must be unspeakably bad.

USA. Citizens said put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill-won contest. First Trump Administration said no. Second Trump Administration says put Trump on $250 bill. Is Rosa Parks photo available? Kamala Harris? Meanwhile in Canada.

Trump doesn’t want Harriet Tubman on the $20, but he wants his own orange mug on a $250 bill. Subtle as a burning cross.
